Kirmīra-rākṣasa-saṃgamaḥ (Encounter and Slaying of Kirmīra) | किर्मीरेण सह भीमसेनसमागमः
यदा विबुद्धः कौन्तेयस्तदा संच्छिद्य बन्धनम् । उदतिष्ठन्महाबाहुर्भीमसेनो महाबल:,जब इनकी आँख खुली तो ये महाबली महाबाहु भीमसेन सारे बन्धनोंको तोड़कर जलसे ऊपर उठे
yadā vibuddhaḥ kaunteyas tadā sañchidya bandhanam | udatiṣṭhan mahābāhur bhīmaseno mahābalaḥ ||
వైశంపాయనుడు పలికెను—కౌంతేయుడు స్పృహకు వచ్చినపుడు, మహాబలవంతుడైన మహాబాహు భీమసేనుడు బంధనాలను చీల్చి నీటిమీదకు లేచెను।

Educational Q&A
Strength in the epic is not merely physical; it is the capacity to recover awareness, reclaim agency, and break constraints. The verse highlights the ethical ideal of refusing to remain passive in danger once one is capable of action.
Bhīma, having been rendered unconscious and bound, awakens; immediately he snaps/severs the bindings and rises up from the water, signaling his return to control and readiness to respond to the threat.
