मैत्रेयागमनम् — The Arrival of Maitreya and the Admonition to Duryodhana
तदनन्तर उसे थका हुआ देख भीमसेनने अपनी दोनों भुजाओंसे उसे उसी तरह कस लिया, जैसे पशुको डोरीसे बाँध देते हैं
tadanantaraṃ taṃ śrāntaṃ dṛṣṭvā bhīmasenena svābhyāṃ bāhubhyāṃ sa tathā paryagṛhyata, yathā paśuṃ rajjvā badhnīyāt
അതിനുശേഷം അവൻ ക്ഷീണിച്ചതായി കണ്ട ഭീമസേനൻ, കയറുകൊണ്ട് മൃഗത്തെ കെട്ടുന്നതുപോലെ, ഇരുകൈകളും ചുറ്റി അവനെ കർശനമായി പിടിച്ചുകെട്ടി।

The line highlights the ethical tension in moments of conflict: immense strength can subdue an opponent completely, but such domination—likened to binding an animal—invites reflection on proportionality, restraint, and the dharmic use of power.
After noticing that the other person has become exhausted, Bhīmasena closes in and grips him firmly with both arms, restraining him as securely as one would tie up an animal with a rope.
