अध्याय ८८ — घटोत्कच-दुर्योधनयुद्धवर्णनम्
Ghaṭotkaca–Duryodhana Engagement
भीमो5प्यथैनं सहसा विनद्य प्रत्युद्ययौ गदया तर्जयान:,तब भीमसेन भी सहसा सिंहनाद करके गदाद्वारा गर्जन-तर्जन करते हुए जयद्रथकी ओर बढ़े

bhīmo 'py athainaṃ sahasā vinadya pratyudyayau gadayā tarjayān |
Sañjaya berkata: Lalu Bhīma juga, tiba-tiba mengaum, mara menyongsongnya—menghayun gada sambil melontarkan ancaman yang garang. Dalam dharma peperangan, raungan bak singa dan cabaran terbuka itu menandakan tekad seorang pahlawan untuk berhadapan dengan musuh secara terus, tanpa berselindung.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the kṣatriya ideal of direct confrontation in battle: a warrior openly declares intent (roar/challenge) and advances with courage, making the conflict explicit rather than covert.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, with a sudden lion-like roar, moves forward to meet the opponent, wielding his mace and issuing threats—signaling the start of an intense face-to-face engagement.
