Pāṇḍava-senā-niryāṇa and Vyūha-vibhāga (पाण्डवसेनानिर्याण तथा व्यूहविभाग)
यच्चापि भीमसेनस्य मन्यसे मोघभाषितम् । दुःशासनस्य रुधिरं पीतमद्यावधारय
yaccāpi bhīmasenasya manyase moghabhāṣitam | duḥśāsanasya rudhiraṃ pītam adyāvadhāraya ||
અને તું ભીમસેનના વચનોને ખાલી બડાઈ માને છે—એ યોગ્ય નથી. આજે જ નિશ્ચિતપણે જાણ: ભીમે દુઃશાસનનું રક્ત પી લીધું છે.

Educational Q&A
Words spoken as solemn vows in response to wrongdoing are not to be dismissed as mere bravado; in the Mahābhārata’s ethical world, such commitments bind the speaker and shape the moral momentum toward inevitable consequences.
Kṛṣṇa rebukes the listener for treating Bhīma’s earlier declaration as empty talk and insists that it has been (or will be) fulfilled—Bhīma drinking Duḥśāsana’s blood—thereby emphasizing the certainty of retribution tied to the Kauravas’ offenses.
