Devanagari script
बाहू महान्तौ कृत्वा तु तथा55स्यं च भयानकम् | स्थितमावृत्य पन्थानं येन यान्ति कुरूद्वहा:,अपनी दोनों भुजाओंको बहुत बड़ी करके मुँहको भयानकरूपसे फैलाकर वह उसी मार्गको घेरकर खड़ा हो गया, जिससे वे कुरुवंशशिरोमणि पाण्डव यात्रा कर रहे थे
Transliteration
bāhū mahāntau kṛtvā tu tathāsyaṃ ca bhayānakam | sthitam āvṛtya panthānaṃ yena yānti kurūdvahāḥ ||
Translation
Having made his arms enormous and spreading his mouth into a terrifying gape, he stood there blocking the road—the very path along which the Pandavas, the foremost of the Kuru line, were traveling. The scene underscores how brute intimidation can obstruct the righteous, testing their resolve and discernment in the forest ordeal.
