मैत्रेयागमनम् — The Arrival of Maitreya and the Admonition to Duryodhana

Devanagari script

तदनन्तर उसे थका हुआ देख भीमसेनने अपनी दोनों भुजाओंसे उसे उसी तरह कस लिया, जैसे पशुको डोरीसे बाँध देते हैं

Transliteration

tadanantaraṃ taṃ śrāntaṃ dṛṣṭvā bhīmasenena svābhyāṃ bāhubhyāṃ sa tathā paryagṛhyata, yathā paśuṃ rajjvā badhnīyāt

Translation

Thereafter, seeing him exhausted, Bhīmasena seized him tightly with both arms—just as one would bind an animal with a rope—showing the forceful turn of the encounter and the moral tension between restraint and overpowering violence.
