Shloka 60
विवर्धमानमालक्ष्य तदस्त्रं भीमविक्रमम् | पाण्डुसैन्यमृते भीम॑ सुमहद् भयमाविशत्,उस अस्त्रको बढ़ते देख भयंकर पराक्रमी भीमसेनको छोड़कर शेष सारी पाण्डव- सेनापर महान् भय छा गया
vivardhamānam ālakṣya tad astraṁ bhīmavikramam | pāṇḍusainyam ṛte bhīmaṁ sumahad bhayam āviśat |
Seeing that formidable weapon growing ever more powerful, a great terror seized the Pāṇḍava army—everyone except Bhīma, whose dreadful valor did not waver.

A powerful astra is seen intensifying, and terror spreads through the Pāṇḍava forces; only Bhīma remains unafraid, standing firm while the rest of the army is psychologically overwhelmed.
