अभ्यद्रवन्त समरे भीम॑ भीमपराक्रमम् । प्रभो! उस शूरवीरकों मारा गया देख उसके भाई समरभूमिमें भयंकर पराक्रमी भीमसेनपर सब ओरसे टूट पड़े
abhyadravanta samare bhīmaṁ bhīmaparākramam | prabho! taṁ śūravīraṁ hataṁ dṛṣṭvā tasya bhrātaraḥ samarabhūmau bhayaṅkara-parākramiṇaṁ bhīmasenam sarvataḥ samantāt pratyapatanta |
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ସମରରେ ସେମାନେ ଭୀମପରାକ୍ରମୀ ଭୀମଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଧାଇଲେ। ପ୍ରଭୋ, ସେହି ଶୂରବୀର ହତ ହୋଇଥିବା ଦେଖି, ତାଙ୍କର ଭାଇମାନେ ଶୋକ ଓ ଧର୍ମବୋଧରେ ଉଦ୍ଦୀପ୍ତ ହୋଇ ରଣଭୂମିରେ ସବୁ ଦିଗରୁ ଭୀମସେନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ପଡ଼ିଲେ।
