भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ११०: पार्थभीमयोः प्रहारः तथा भीष्माभिमुखं संग्रामविस्तारः
Arjuna and Bhima’s pressure; escalation toward Bhishma
स्वागतं धर्मपुत्राय भीमाय यमयोस्तथा । कि वा कार्य करोम्यद्य युष्माकं प्रीतिवर्धनम्
svāgataṁ dharmaputrāya bhīmāya yamayos tathā | ki vā kāryaṁ karomy adya yuṣmākaṁ prītivardhanam ||
“ಧರ್ಮಪುತ್ರನಿಗೂ, ಭೀಮನಿಗೂ, ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಯಮಜರಾದ ಇಬ್ಬರಿಗೂ (ನಕುಲ-ಸಹದೇವ) ಸ್ವಾಗತ. ಇಂದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂತೋಷ ಹೆಚ್ಚುವಂತೆ ನಾನು ಯಾವ ಸೇವೆ ಮಾಡಲಿ?”
