Ghaṭotkaca–Duryodhana Engagement
भीमो5प्यथैनं सहसा विनद्य प्रत्युद्ययौ गदया तर्जयान:,तब भीमसेन भी सहसा सिंहनाद करके गदाद्वारा गर्जन-तर्जन करते हुए जयद्रथकी ओर बढ़े

ਸੰਜਯ ਬੋਲਿਆ—ਤਦ ਭੀਮ ਵੀ ਅਚਾਨਕ ਸਿੰਘਨਾਦ ਕਰ ਕੇ, ਗਦਾ ਚੁੱਕ ਕੇ ਘੋਰ ਤਰਜਨਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਮੁਕਾਬਲੇ ਲਈ ਅੱਗੇ ਵਧਿਆ।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the kṣatriya ideal of direct confrontation in battle: a warrior openly declares intent (roar/challenge) and advances with courage, making the conflict explicit rather than covert.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, with a sudden lion-like roar, moves forward to meet the opponent, wielding his mace and issuing threats—signaling the start of an intense face-to-face engagement.
