Gadāyuddhe Kṛṣṇopadeśaḥ (Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel in the Mace-Duel) — Śalya-parva 57
दिधक्षत्रिव नेत्राभ्यां भीमसेनमवैक्षत । भरतश्रेष्ठ) उन सूंजयोंका वह सिंहनाद सुनकर पुरुषप्रवर आपका महाबाहु पुत्र दुर्योधन अमर्षसे कुपित हो उठा और खड़ा होकर महान् सर्पके समान फुंकार करने लगा। उसने दोनों आँखोंसे भीमसेनकी ओर इस प्रकार देखा, मानो उन्हें भस्म कर डालना चाहता हो ।। ततः स भरतश्रेष्ठो गदापाणिरभिद्रवन्

Sañjaya said: As though he would burn him with his very eyes, he fixed his gaze upon Bhīmasena. Hearing that lion-roar, your mighty-armed son Duryodhana—foremost among men—was inflamed with intolerant rage. Rising up, he began to hiss like a great serpent, and he looked at Bhīma with both eyes as if he wished to reduce him to ashes. Then that best of the Bharatas, mace in hand, charged forward.
