विदीर्यमाणास्तत एव तूर्ण- माकाशमास्थाय विमूढसंज्ञा: । कैलासश्ज्ण्यभिदुद्र॒वुस्ते भीमार्दिता: क्रोधवशा: प्रभग्ना:,भीमसेनकी मारसे क्षत-विक्षत एवं पीड़ित हो वे क्रोधवश नामक राक्षस अपनी सुध- बुध खो बैठे थे। अतः उनके पाँव उखड़ गये और वे तुरंत वहाँसे आकाशमें उड़कर कैलासके शिखरोंपर भाग गये
vidīryamāṇās tata eva tūrṇam ākāśam āsthāya vimūḍha-saṃjñāḥ | kailāsa-śṛṅgābhidudruvus te bhīmārditāḥ krodhavaśāḥ prabhagnāḥ ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana berkata: “Hancur di tempat itu juga, mereka segera naik ke angkasa, pancaindera menjadi kacau. Dipukul Bhima dan patah semangat, para rākṣasa itu—dikuasai amarah—melarikan diri menuju puncak-puncak Kailāsa.”

Educational Q&A
Anger (krodha) clouds discernment (saṃjñā) and leads to collapse: those driven by wrath become confused, lose steadiness, and are easily routed. The verse contrasts uncontrolled rage with the decisive strength of a disciplined hero.
After being struck and overwhelmed by Bhīmasena, the rākṣasas—confused and broken—abandon the ground, take to the sky, and flee toward the summits of Mount Kailāsa.
