Adhyāya 113: Karṇa–Bhīma Śaravarṣa and the Battlefield Aftermath (कर्णभीमशरवर्षः)
नस जातु महाबाहुर्भारमुद्यम्य सीदति | “महाराज! आज आपके मनमें अर्जुनके लिये भय नहीं होना चाहिये। वे महाबाहु किसी कार्यभारको उठा लेनेपर कभी शिथिल नहीं होते हैं
na sa jātu mahābāhur bhāram udyamya sīdati |
सञ्जय उवाच—महाराज, अद्य अर्जुनविषये ते मनसि भयम् नोत्पद्यताम्। स महाबाहुः कर्तव्यभारं समुद्धृत्य कदाचित् न सीदति, न च शिथिलः भवति॥
संजय उवाच
