Gadāyuddhe Kṛṣṇopadeśaḥ (Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel in the Mace-Duel) — Śalya-parva 57
निपतन्त्या महाराज पृथिवी समकम्पत । राजेन्द्र! भीमसेनकी छोड़ी हुई उस वेगवती गदाके गिरनेसे धरती डोलने लगी ।। ४१६ || तां नामृष्यत कौरव्यो गदां प्रतिहतां रणे
sañjaya uvāca | nipatantyā mahārāja pṛthivī samakampata | rājendra bhīmasenena muktāyā vegavatyā gadāyā nipatanāt dharā cacāla | tāṃ nāmṛṣyata kauravyo gadāṃ pratihatāṃ raṇe |
Sañjaya said: O great king, as it fell, the earth shook. O lord of kings, when that swift mace hurled by Bhīmasena struck down, the ground itself trembled. But the Kaurava prince could not endure that his mace had been checked in battle.
