Virāṭa-parva Adhyāya 22 — Draupadī’s Abduction Attempt and Bhīma’s Suppression of the Kīcakas
तस्य पादौ च पाणी च शिरो ग्रीवां च सर्वश: । काये प्रवेशयामास पशोरिव पिनाकधूक्
tasya pādau ca pāṇī ca śiro grīvāṃ ca sarvaśaḥ | kāye praveśayāmāsa paśor iva pinākadhṛk ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。彼はキー チャカの足と手、さらに頭と首—まことに全ての肢体—を、その胴の内へと力ずくで押し戻した。あたかもピナーカを携える者(ピナーカ弓の担い手シヴァ)が、かつて供犠の獣に為したように。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Adharma—especially the violation of a protected woman’s dignity—invites swift and uncompromising punishment. The text frames severe force as ethically intelligible when it serves protection, justice, and the safeguarding of a larger vow (the Pāṇḍavas’ incognito), rather than personal cruelty.
After overpowering Kiçaka, the avenger (contextually Bhīma) crushes and contorts him so completely that his limbs are forced back into his torso, leaving the body unrecognizable. The simile invokes Śiva (Pinākadhṛk) to emphasize overwhelming, almost superhuman might.
