व्यायच्छमानं गदया दिक्षु सर्वासु भारत । अपश्याम रणे भीम॑ नृत्यन्तमिव शंकरम्,भारत! भीमसेन गदा लेकर सम्पूर्ण दिशाओंमें व्यायाम-सा कर रहे थे। समरभूमिमें भीमको हमलोगोंने ताण्डव-नृत्य करते हुए भगवान् शंकरके समान देखा था

vyāyacchamānaṁ gadayā dikṣu sarvāsu bhārata | apaśyāma raṇe bhīmaṁ nṛtyantam iva śaṅkaram ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: “O Bhārata, wielding his mace as though in vigorous exercise, Bhīma ranged in every direction. On that battlefield we saw Bhīma as if he were Śaṅkara himself, dancing his terrible dance—an image of overwhelming, righteous force unleashed in war.”
