Shloka 21
प्रावृट्-शरत्-वर्णनम् — Description of the Monsoon and Autumn; Sarasvatī in the Pāṇḍavas’ Exile
पदभ्यामभिसमापेदे भीमसेनो महाबल: स प्रविष्टो महारण्ये नादान् नदति चाद्भुतान्
padabhyām abhisamāpede bhīmaseno mahābalaḥ sa praviṣṭo mahāraṇye nādān nadati cādbhūtān
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。大力のビーマセーナは徒歩のまま素早く前進した。大森林の奥深くへ踏み入るや、彼は驚くべき咆哮をあげた――それは己の力を示し、潜む危難を威圧して、眼前の務めを押し進めんとするものだった。

The verse highlights heroic resolve: when duty demands entering uncertainty (the wilderness), one proceeds with steadiness and courage, using inner strength to face fear and obstacles rather than retreating.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Bhīma, renowned for his power, moves forward on foot into a vast forest and emits extraordinary roars—signaling his fearlessness and readiness to confront whatever he may encounter there.
