यथा निदाघे ज्वलन: समिद्धो दहेत् कक्ष वायुना चोद्यमान: | गदाहस्त: पाण्डवो वै तथैव हन्ता मदीयान् सहितोअर्जुनेन,जैसे गर्मीमें प्रजजलित हुई अग्नि हवाका सहारा पाकर घास-फूस एवं जंगलको भी जलाकर भस्म कर देती है, उसी प्रकार अर्जुनसहित पाण्डुनन्दन भीम गदा हाथमें लेकर मेरे सब पुत्रोंको मार डालेगा

Translation
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: “Just as, in the heat of summer, a blazing fire—fanned and driven by the wind—burns up dry brushwood, so too will the Pāṇḍava Bhīma, mace in hand, accompanied by Arjuna, become the slayer of my sons.”
