Shloka 11
प्रावृट्-शरत्-वर्णनम् — Description of the Monsoon and Autumn; Sarasvatī in the Pāṇḍavas’ Exile
मृगयां परिधावन् स समेषु मरुधन्वसु विध्यन् मृगान् शरै: शुद्ध क्षचार स महाबल:,महाबली भीम सारे मरु प्रदेशमें शिकारके लिये दौड़ते और केवल बाणोंद्वारा हिंसक पशुओंको घायल करते हुए विचरा करते थे
mṛgayāṃ paridhāvan sa sameṣu marudhanvasu vidhyan mṛgān śaraiḥ śuddhakṣaraḥ sa mahābalaḥ
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。大力のビーマは砂漠の平らな地を駆け巡り、狩りの獲物を追って走った。彼は矢で野獣を射倒し、乾ききった土地を規律ある力で進んだ――それは、無益な残虐ではなく、生存と守護のために制御された暴力の姿であった。

Educational Q&A
The verse frames hunting as controlled, purposeful force: Bhīma’s strength is shown as disciplined action in harsh conditions, suggesting restraint and responsibility even when violence is involved.
During the forest-exile setting, Bhīma moves through desert-like tracts, pursuing game and striking animals with arrows as part of the group’s practical needs and protection while traveling.
