ಭಯದಿಂದ ಅವರು ಭೀಮನ ಮುಂದೆ ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಮಲಮೂತ್ರವನ್ನು ಬಿಡಿದರು. ನಂತರ ಮಹಾಬಲ ಭೀಮನು ಅವರನ್ನು ಕಡೆಗಣಿಸಿ ತ್ವರಿತವಾಗಿ ಮುಂದೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಿದನು.

The verse underscores a psychological and ethical realism: fear can reduce even the proud to helplessness, revealing the fragility of outward dignity; true steadiness is tested not in comfort but under threat.
Those confronted by Bhīma are so terrified that they involuntarily void feces and urine; Bhīma, described as mahābala, swiftly enters and brushes past them.
