Devanagari script

न हि वैरं समासाद्य प्रशाम्यति वृकोदर: | सुचिरादपि भीमस्य न हि वैरं प्रशाम्यति । यावदन्तं न नयति शात्रवाउछत्रुकर्शन:,'भीमसेन वैर हो जानेपर कभी शान्त नहीं होता। भीमसेनका वैर तबतक दीर्घकालके बाद भी समाप्त नहीं होता है, जबतक वह शत्रुपक्षका संहार नहीं कर डालता

Translation

Vaiśaṃpāyana said: “Vṛkodara (Bhīma), once he has entered into enmity, does not grow calm. Even after a long time, Bhīma’s feud does not subside until he has driven the foe to the very end and destroyed the enemy host.”
