Gadā-yuddhe Bhīma–Duryodhanayoḥ Tumulaḥ Saṃprahāraḥ
Mace-duel’s intense exchange
भीममाह्दयमाने तु कुरुराजे महात्मनि । प्रादुरासन् सुघोराणि रूपाणि विविधान्युत,महामनस्वी कुरुराज दुर्योधन जब भीमसेनका आह्वान करने लगा, उस समय नाना प्रकारके भयंकर अपशकुन प्रकट हुए
bhīmam āhvayamāne tu kururāje mahātmani | prādurāsan sughorāṇi rūpāṇi vividhāny uta ||
Sañjaya said: As the Kuru king, the high-souled Duryodhana, began to challenge Bhīma, many kinds of exceedingly dreadful portents manifested. In the moral atmosphere of the war, these ominous signs signal the ripening of destructive intent and the approach of inevitable ruin born of adharma.
