Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 25 — Bhīma’s Disruption of Elephant Formations and Bhagadatta’s Shock Advance
स सम्प्रहारस्तुमुलस्तयो: पुरुषसिंहयो: । सैनिकानां च सर्वेषां तयोश्ष प्रीतिवर्धन:,उन दोनों पुरुषसिंहोंमें बड़ा भयंकर युद्ध छिड़ गया। वह संग्राम समस्त सैनिकोंकी तथा उन दोनोंकी भी प्रसन्नताको बढ़ा रहा था
sa samprahāras tumulas tayoḥ puruṣasiṁhayoḥ | sainikānāṁ ca sarveṣāṁ tayoś ca prītivardhanaḥ ||
Sañjaya berkata: Pertembungan yang garang dan bergemuruh meletus antara dua wira laksana singa itu. Pertempuran itu meninggikan semangat dan keterujaan seluruh bala tentera—dan juga kedua-dua pendekar itu sendiri—memperlihatkan bahawa dalam bahang perang, keperkasaan serta rasa nikmat kemenangan boleh membesar walaupun kemusnahan merebak.
