भीमसेन-धृष्टद्युम्नयोर्वाक्यं

पश्यत: सर्वलोकस्य भीमस्य च महात्मन: । आकाशमें सीमन्तकी रेखा-सी बनाती हुई अग्निके समान देदीप्यमान होनेवाली उस शक्तिके अपने पास आनेसे पहले ही कौरवनरेशने तीन टुकड़े कर दिये। सम्पूर्ण योद्धाओं तथा महामना भीमसेनके देखते-देखते यह कार्य हो गया

Sañjaya said: Before the blazing śakti-spear—shining like fire and seeming to draw a parting-line across the sky—could even reach him, the king of the Kurus cut it into three pieces. This happened in full view of all the warriors and of the great-souled Bhīmasena.
