Translation
Sañjaya said: Struck by the rushing force of Bhīma’s mace, the mighty king of Madra did not waver; through steadfast courage he stood firm, like a mountain battered by thunderbolts. The verse highlights the warrior-ethic of endurance under assault—self-control and resolve even amid violent conflict.
