तस्याभिद्रवतस्तूर्ण भीमो भीमपराक्रम: । वेगेन प्रहितं बाहुं निजग्राह हसन्निव,झपटते ही बड़े वेगसे उसने भीमसेनपर हाथ चलाया। तब तो भयंकर पराक्रमी भीमसेनने तुरंत ही उसके हाथको हँसते हुए-से पकड़ लिया
Transliteration
tasyābhidravatas tūrṇaṃ bhīmo bhīmaparākramaḥ | vegena prahitaṃ bāhuṃ nijagrāha hasann iva ||
Translation
As he rushed forward, Bhīma—of dreadful prowess—swiftly seized the arm that had been hurled at him with force, as though laughing. The scene underscores Bhīma’s controlled strength: he meets sudden aggression not with panic, but with confident restraint, turning an attack into a moment of dominance without immediately escalating to lethal retaliation.
