tataḥ sa rākṣasaḥ kruddho bhīmasya vacanāt tadā | ājagāma susaṃkruddho yatra bhīmo vyavasthitaḥ ||

Translation

Then that rākṣasa, provoked by Bhīma’s words, flared up in anger. Burning with fury, he came to the place where Bhīma was stationed—seated and engaged in his meal—ready to confront him. The passage highlights how harsh speech can swiftly escalate hostility, setting the stage for a direct clash between arrogance and fearless resolve.
