पुत्री ते दुर्मदौ राजन्ननयद् यमसादनम् | राजन! तत्पश्चात् भीमसेनने हँसते हुए-से आपके दो पुत्र भीम और भीमरथको भी, जो युद्धमें उन््मत्त होकर लड़नेवाले थे, यमलोक भेज दिया
putrī te durmadau rājann anayad yamasādanam | rājan tatpaścāt bhīmasenena haṃsatehuva-se āpake do putra bhīma aur bhīmarathako bhi, jo yuddhame unmatta hokar laṛanevāle the, yamaloka bhej diyā
Dijo Sañjaya: Oh rey, tus dos hijos, soberbios y desmesurados, fueron conducidos a la morada de Yama (la Muerte). Después, oh rey, Bhimasena—casi como si riera—envió también a tus dos hijos, Bhima y Bhimaratha, al reino de Yama, pues combatían en la batalla en un frenesí de orgullo embriagado.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical danger of durmada (pride-intoxication): when warriors fight in delusion and arrogance, they rush toward destruction. It frames death as a consequence that follows from unrighteous aggression and loss of self-control.
Sanjaya reports to King Dhritarashtra that Bhimasena has slain the king’s sons—described as arrogant and battle-maddened—sending them to Yama’s abode. The tone suggests Bhima’s overwhelming dominance, depicted as ‘almost laughing’ while dispatching them.
