FAQs
Bhīmasena is the named warrior credited here with bringing about the destruction (kṣaya) of a great number (niyuta) of tusked creatures.
The verse mentions tusked creatures (daṃṣṭriṇām), as well as jackals (gomāyu), crows (kāka), and others; it also includes mahiṣīḥ (buffalo-cows/female buffaloes) and go-varāṅganāḥ (cowherd women).
It is primarily narrative, describing violent destruction in a mythic setting rather than presenting a direct doctrinal teaching.
