तत उत्थाय कौन्तेयो भीमसेनो महाबल: । आजगाम महाबाहुर्मातुरन्तिकमञ्जसा,तब महाबली कुन्तीकुमार महाबाहु भीमसेन वहाँसे उठकर शीघ्र ही अपनी माताके समीप आ गये
tata utthāya kaunteyo bhīmaseno mahābalaḥ | ājagāma mahābāhur mātur antikam añjasā ||
Vaiśampāyana sprach: Da erhob sich Bhīmasena, Kuntīs Sohn, von großer Kraft und mächtigen Armen, und eilte sogleich an die Seite seiner Mutter.
