Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
स सिंह इव मातज़ूं यूथर्षभ इवर्षभम् | अभिदु॒द्राव वेगेन विनदन् यादवर्षभ:
sa siṁha iva mātaṅgaṁ yūtharṣabha ivarṣabham | abhidudrāva vegena vinadan yādavarṣabhaḥ ||
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ— ଯାଦବଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ଶ୍ରୀକୃଷ୍ଣ ପୁନଃପୁନଃ ଗର୍ଜନ କରି ଭୀଷ୍ମଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ମହାବେଗରେ ଧାଉଥିଲେ; ଯେପରି ସିଂହ ଗଜରାଜ ଉପରେ, କିମ୍ବା ଗୋୟୁଥର ନାୟକ ସାଣ୍ଡ ଅନ୍ୟ ସାଣ୍ଡ ଉପରେ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରେ।

The verse underscores the warrior-ethic of steadfast courage: when duty demands action, one advances without hesitation even against a formidable opponent. The repeated roaring signifies unwavering resolve and the moral intensity of kṣātra-dharma in battle.
Sañjaya describes the foremost Yādava (Kṛṣṇa) rushing at Bhīṣma with great speed, roaring repeatedly. The action is compared to a lion attacking a great elephant and to a herd-leader bull attacking another bull, emphasizing the ferocity and directness of the charge.
