तथैव मद्रराजो5पि भीम॑ दृष्टवा महाबलम् | ससाराभिमुखस्तूर्ण शार्दूल इव कुज्जरम्,इसी प्रकार मद्रराज शल्य भी महाबली भीमसेनको देखकर तुरंत उन्हींकी ओर बढ़े, मानो सिंह किसी गजराजपर आक्रमण कर रहा हो

Sañjaya said: In the same way, the king of Madra—Śalya—on seeing the mighty Bhīma, rushed swiftly straight toward him, like a tiger charging an elephant. The verse highlights the warlike resolve and fierce momentum with which champions seek out worthy opponents on the battlefield.
