Transliteration

taṁ bhīmaseno dhāvantam avatīrya rathād balī | abhidrutya nijagrāha keśapakṣe hāmarṣaṇaḥ ||

Translation

Vaiśampāyana said: Seeing him fleeing, the mighty Bhīmasena leapt down from his chariot. Rushing forward in wrath, he seized the fugitive by the hair—an act driven by fierce indignation and the impulse to stop an offender from escaping.
