भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
स सिंह इव मातज़ूं यूथर्षभ इवर्षभम् | अभिदु॒द्राव वेगेन विनदन् यादवर्षभ:
sa siṁha iva mātaṅgaṁ yūtharṣabha ivarṣabham | abhidudrāva vegena vinadan yādavarṣabhaḥ ||
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে— যাদৱশ্ৰেষ্ঠ শ্ৰীকৃষ্ণ বাৰে বাৰে গর্জন কৰি ভীষ্মৰ ওপৰত মহাবেগে ধাৱমান হ’ল; যেন সিংহ গজৰাজৰ ওপৰত, অথবা গৰুৰ জাকৰ অধিপতি ষাঁড় অন্য ষাঁড়ৰ ওপৰত আক্ৰমণ কৰে।

The verse underscores the warrior-ethic of steadfast courage: when duty demands action, one advances without hesitation even against a formidable opponent. The repeated roaring signifies unwavering resolve and the moral intensity of kṣātra-dharma in battle.
Sañjaya describes the foremost Yādava (Kṛṣṇa) rushing at Bhīṣma with great speed, roaring repeatedly. The action is compared to a lion attacking a great elephant and to a herd-leader bull attacking another bull, emphasizing the ferocity and directness of the charge.
