Kirmīra-rākṣasa-saṃgamaḥ (Encounter and Slaying of Kirmīra) | किर्मीरेण सह भीमसेनसमागमः
गृहीतं पाणिना पारणिं भीमसेनस्य रक्षसा । नामृष्यत महाबाहुस्तत्राक्रुध्यद् वृकोदर:,राक्षसने भीमसेनके हाथको अपने हाथसे पकड़ लिया; यह बात महाबाहु भीमसेन नहीं सह सके। वे वहीं कुपित हो गये
gṛhītaṃ pāṇinā pāṇiṃ bhīmasenasya rakṣasā | nāmṛṣyata mahābāhus tatrākrudhyad vṛkodaraḥ ||
قبض الراكشسا على يد بهيماسينا بيده. ولم يحتمل بهيما، عظيمَ الساعدين، هذا الإذلال؛ ففي الحال اشتعل فِركودارا غضبًا—غضبًا نهض من انتهاكٍ لا يُطاق للكرامة ولحرمة الجسد، تمهيدًا لقوةٍ عادلة تُجابِه العدوان.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a dharmic boundary: unprovoked physical aggression and humiliation invite immediate resistance. Bhīma’s anger is portrayed not as petty rage but as a response to an intolerable violation—setting the stage for justified self-defense and protection of dignity.
A rākṣasa physically grabs Bhīma’s hand. Bhīma (Vṛkodara), unable to bear the insult and aggression, becomes enraged on the spot—signaling the imminent confrontation.
