तमन्वधावत् संक्रुद्धो भीमसेन: प्रतापवान् । हदे द्वैपायने चापि सलिलस्थं ददर्श तम्,इधरसे अत्यन्त क्रोधमें भरे हुए प्रतापी भीमसेनने उसका पीछा किया और द्वैपायन नामक सरोवरमें पानीके भीतर छिपे हुए दुर्योधनका पता लगा लिया
tam anvadhāvat saṁkruddho bhīmasenaḥ pratāpavān | hrade dvaipāyane cāpi salilasthaṁ dadarśa tam ||
Vāsudeva said: Enraged, the mighty and valorous Bhīmasena pursued him. He then spotted him as well—hidden within the waters of the lake called Dvaipāyana.
