उत्सृज्य ते गदाशूलानसिशक्तिपरश्वधान् । दक्षिणां दिशमाजम्मुस्त्रसिता दृढद्धन्चना,सुदृढ़ धनुषवाले भीमसेनसे आतंकित हो वे यक्ष-राक्षस आदि योद्धा गदा, शूल, खड्ग, शक्ति तथा परशु आदि अस्त्रोंको वहीं छोड़कर दक्षिणदिशाकी ओर भाग गये
utsṛjya te gadāśūlān asiśakti-paraśvadhān | dakṣiṇāṁ diśam ājagmus trasitā dṛḍhadhanvanā ||
सुदृढ धनुष्यधारी भीमसेनाच्या दहशतीने ते यक्ष-राक्षसादी योद्धे गदा, शूल, खड्ग, शक्ति व परशु इत्यादी अस्त्रे तिथेच टाकून दक्षिण दिशेकडे पळून गेले.
