Bhīmasena–Hanūmān Saṃvāda: The Tail Test and the Divine Path
दृष्टवा चैनं महाबाहुरेक॑ तस्मिन् महावने । अथोपसूत्य तरसा विभीर्भीमस्ततो बली,परम बुद्धिमान् बलवान् महाबाहु भीमसेन उस महान् वनमें विशालकाय महाबली वानरराज हनुमानजीको अकेले ही स्वर्गका मार्ग रोककर हिमालयके समान स्थित देख निर्भय होकर वेगपूर्वक उनके पास गये और वज्र-गर्जनाके समान भयंकर सिंहनाद करने लगे। भीमसेनके उस सिंहनादसे वहाँके मृग और पक्षी थर्रा उठे
dṛṣṭvā cainaṃ mahābāhur ekaṃ tasmin mahāvane | athopasūtya tarasā vibhīr bhīmas tato balī ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Seeing him there alone in that vast forest, the mighty-armed Bhīma—fearless and strong—rushed forward with speed toward him. Confronting the great monkey-king Hanumān, who stood like the Himālaya as though blocking the path to heaven, Bhīmasena let out a terrifying lion-roar, thunderous like a vajra. At that roar, the beasts and birds of the region trembled. The episode frames Bhīma’s raw power and pride meeting a higher, disciplined strength, preparing the ground for a lesson in humility and right conduct.
