Arjuna’s Arrival and Reunion on the Sacred Mountain
मणिमानपि संक्रुद्ध: प्रगृह्ा महतीं गदाम् । प्राहिणोद् भीमसेनाय परिगृह्म महाबल:,यह देख महाबली मणिमान् भी रोषसे आगबबूला हो उठे और बहुत बड़ी गदा लेकर उन्होंने भीमसेनपर चलायी
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: Maṇimān api saṅkruddhaḥ pragṛhya mahatīṃ gadām | prāhiṇod Bhīmasenāya parigṛhya mahābalaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana sprach: Auch Maṇimān, von Zorn entflammt, ergriff eine gewaltige Keule; dann schleuderte der Mächtige sie auf Bhīmasena.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can overpower judgment: physical power, when driven by rage, becomes a tool of harm. Ethically, it points to the need for restraint and discernment even amid conflict.
Maṇimān becomes furious, picks up a very large mace, and hurls it at Bhīmasena, intensifying the confrontation through a direct act of weapon-attack.
