Droṇa’s Ācārya-Dakṣiṇā: Capture of Drupada and Division of Pāñcāla (द्रोण-आचार्यदक्षिणा)
फलानि वृक्षमारुह् विचिन्वन्ति च ते तदा । तदा पादप्रहारेण भीम: कम्पयते द्रुमान्,जब कौरव वृक्षपर चढ़कर फल तोड़ने लगते, तब भीमसेन पैरसे ठोकर मारकर उन पेड़ोंको हिला देते थे
phalāni vṛkṣam āruhya vicinvanti ca te tadā | tadā pādaprahāreṇa bhīmaḥ kampayate drumān |
