Duryodhana’s Incursion and the Tumult of Battle
न चाप्यसहां भीमस्य विद्यते भुवि किंचन,“इस भूतलपर कोई ऐसा कार्य नहीं है, जो भीमसेनके लिये असहा हो। ये अपने बाहुबलका आश्रय ले रणक्षेत्रमें प्रययनशील होकर भूमण्डलके समस्त धनुर्धरोंका अनायास ही सामना करनेमें समर्थ हैं
na cāpy asahāṃ bhīmasya vidyate bhuvi kiṃcana
Sañjaya said: “On this earth there is nothing that Bhīma cannot endure. Relying on the strength of his own arms, he advances into the battlefield and is capable of facing, with ease, all the bowmen of the world.”
