भीमसेनस्य गदायुद्ध-प्रभावः
The Battlefield Impact of Bhīmasena’s Mace Combat
स तै: परिवृत: शूरै: शूरो युधि सुदुर्जयै: । न सम प्रव्यथते राजन् कृष्णतुल्यपराक्रम:,राजन! अभिमन्युका पराक्रम भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके समान था। वह युद्धमें अत्यन्त दुर्जय उन शूरवीरोंसे घिर जानेपर भी व्यथित या चिन्तित नहीं हुआ
sa taiḥ parivṛtaḥ śūraiḥ śūro yudhi sudurjayaiḥ | na sama pravyathate rājan kṛṣṇatulyaparākramaḥ ||
राजन्! अभिमन्यूचे पराक्रम श्रीकृष्णासमान होते. युद्धात अत्यंत दुर्जय अशा शूरवीरांनी वेढले तरी तो किंचितही व्यथित झाला नाही।
