Devanagari script

तमभिद्र॒त्य संक्रुद्धो वेगेन महता बली । अग॒ह्नात्‌ पाणिना पार्णिं भीमसेनस्य राक्षस:,क्रोधमें भरे हुए उस बलवान राक्षसने बड़े वेगसे निकट जाकर अपने हाथसे भीमसेनका हाथ पकड़ लिया। भीमसेनके हाथका स्पर्श इन्द्रके वज्रके समान था। उनका शरीर भी वैसा ही सुदृढ़ था। राक्षसने भीमसेनसे भिड़कर उनके हाथको सहसा झटक दिया

Transliteration

tam abhidrutya saṅkruddho vegena mahatā balī | agahnāt pāṇinā pāṇiṃ bhīmasenasya rākṣasaḥ ||

Translation

The mighty rākṣasa, inflamed with anger, rushed forward at great speed and seized Bhīmasena’s hand with his own. It is a moment of raw, physical confrontation: wrath drives the assailant to restrain his opponent directly, testing strength against strength and setting the stage for a struggle where self-control and righteous purpose must stand firm amid violence.
