Shloka 11
मयाभिपन्नं त्रायेरन् बलमास्थाय न त्रयः । जो मेरी पकड़में आ जायगा, उसे हिमालय पर्वत, विशाल महासागर तथा बल नामक दैत्यका विनाश करनेवाले साक्षात् वज्रधारी इन्द्र--ये तीनों अपनी पूरी शक्ति लगाकर भी बचा नहीं सकते ।। १० ह || युद्धाह्नि क्षत्रियान् सर्वान् पाण्डवेष्वाततायिन:
mayābhipannaṃ trāyeran balam āsthāya na trayaḥ | yo mama pakaḍa-meṃ ā jāyagā, taṃ himālaya-parvataḥ, viśāla-mahāsāgaraś ca, tathā bala-nāmā daitya-vināśakaḥ sākṣād vajradhara indraḥ—ete trayo'pi sva-śaktiṃ samāsthāya na trātuṃ śaknuvanti || yuddhāhni kṣatriyān sarvān pāṇḍaveṣv ātatāyinaḥ ||

In Udyoga Parva’s pre-war negotiations and rising tensions, Bhīma speaks aggressively, proclaiming his irresistible might. He threatens that once he seizes an enemy, even the greatest cosmic powers could not save that person, and he targets the warriors who have turned into aggressors against the Pāṇḍavas.
