ततो5भियाते तव सैन्ये स भीम: प्रादुश्चक्रे वेगमनन्तवेग:
tato ’bhiyāte tava sainye sa bhīmaḥ prāduścakre vegam anantavegaḥ
Sañjaya berkata: Apabila bala tentera tuanku mara untuk menyerang, Bhīma—yang momentum-nya tiada bertepi—menzahirkan sepenuhnya kelajuan dan kekuatannya, meluru ke hadapan dengan daya yang tidak tertahan. Bait ini menegaskan bahawa dalam bara peperangan, tekad dan keupayaan seorang pahlawan terserlah apabila berhadapan dengan serangan.

The verse highlights a kṣatriya ideal: when unjust aggression or direct assault arises, a warrior’s latent strength and resolve must become manifest. Ethically, it frames power not as mere display, but as a response to the demands of battle and duty.
As the Kaurava forces advance to attack, Bhīma responds by openly unleashing extraordinary speed and force, signaling an intensification of combat and his readiness to meet the assault head-on.
