Devanagari script
विक्रीड्य सुचिरं भीमो राक्षसेन सहानघ । निजघान महावीर्यस्तं तदा निर्बलं बली,निष्पाप श्रीकृष्ण! महापराक्रमी और बलवान् भीमसेनने उस राक्षसके साथ बहुत देरतक खिलवाड़ करके उसके निर्बल हो जानेपर उसे मार डाला
Transliteration
vikrīḍya suciraṃ bhīmo rākṣasena sahānagha | nijaghāna mahāvīryas taṃ tadā nirbalaṃ balī ||
Translation
After sporting with the rākṣasa for a long while, Bhīma—mighty in valor and strong—then slew him when he had become weakened. The episode underscores Bhīma’s overwhelming power and the grim ethic of combat: once the adversary is rendered incapable, the contest ends decisively, even if the victor had earlier treated it as a display of strength.
