Post–Baka-vadha Residence and the Introduction of Yājñasenī’s Svayaṃvara (आदि पर्व, अध्याय १५३)
पुनर्भीमो बलादेनं विचकर्ष महाबल: । मा शब्द: सुखसुप्तानां भ्रातृणां मे भवेदिति,तब महाबली भीमसेन यह सोचकर पुनः उसे बलपूर्वक कुछ दूर खींच ले गये कि सुखपूर्वक सोये हुए भाइयोंके कानोंमें शब्द न पहुँचे
punar bhīmo balād enaṃ vicakarṣa mahābalaḥ | mā śabdaḥ sukha-suptānāṃ bhrātṝṇāṃ me bhaved iti ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Then mighty Bhīma again dragged him away by sheer force, thinking, “Let no sound reach the ears of my brothers who are sleeping peacefully.” The act shows Bhīma’s strength restrained by care—he uses power not for display, but to protect his brothers’ rest and to avoid needless alarm.
