Shloka 25
महाराज! पार्थका आना सुनते ही प्रतापी भीमसेन प्राणोंका मोह छोड़कर आपकी सेनाका मर्दन करने लगे ।।
sa vāyuvīryapratimo vāyuvegamo jave | vāyuvad vyacarad bhīmo vāyuputraḥ pratāpavān ||
サンジャヤは言った。「王よ、パールタ来たると聞くや、武名高きビーマセーナは命への執着を捨て、汝の軍を蹂躙し始めた。風神ヴァーユの子ビーマは、力においても速さにおいても風に等しく、戦場を風そのもののように駆け巡った。」

The verse highlights kṣatriya resolve: when duty calls, a warrior sets aside fear and personal attachment (prāṇa-moha) and acts with full commitment. Bhīma’s ‘wind-like’ imagery underscores disciplined energy directed toward a chosen dharmic aim—protecting his side and fulfilling his role in the war.
Sañjaya describes Bhīma’s sudden, forceful advance on the battlefield. Compared repeatedly to the Wind in speed and power, Bhīma ranges through the field and begins to crush the Kaurava forces, stirred by the situation involving the sons of Pṛthā (the Pāṇḍavas).
