भयाद्‌ विससूजुर्भीमं शकृन्मूत्रं च सुखुवु: । प्रविवेश तत: क्षिप्रं तानपास्य महाबल:

Transliteration

bhayād visasūjur bhīmaṃ śakṛn-mūtraṃ ca sukhuvuḥ | praviveśa tataḥ kṣipraṃ tān apāsya mahābalaḥ ||

Translation

Vaiśampāyana said: Struck with fear, they involuntarily discharged feces and urine. Then the mighty one quickly entered, brushing them aside—an image of how sheer terror can strip away all pretense of composure when confronted by overwhelming strength.
