Shloka 25
Droṇotpattiḥ, Astralābhaḥ, Drupada-vairasya bījaṃ ca
The Birth of Droṇa, Acquisition of Weapons, and the Seed of Enmity with Drupada
ततस्तस्याम्बुदा भस्य भीमो रोषात् तु रक्षस: । उत्क्षिप्या भ्रामयद् देहं तूर्ण शतगुणं तदा,भीमसेन और घटोत्कच तत्पश्चात् काले मेघके समान उस राक्षसके शरीरको भीमने क्रोधपूर्वक तुरंत ऊपर उठा लिया और उसे सौ बार घुमाया
tatas tasyāmbudābhasya bhīmo roṣāt tu rakṣasaḥ | utkṣipya bhrāmayad dehaṃ tūrṇaṃ śataguṇaṃ tadā ||
Pagkaraan, si Bhīma, nag-aalab sa poot, ay sinunggaban ang rākṣasa—itim na parang ulap ng ulan—iniangat ang katawan nito at mabilis na inikot nang sandaang ulit. Ipinakikita ng tagpong ito ang mabangis na paninindigan ni Bhīma: ipagtanggol ang kanya at supilin ang marahas na kasamaan sa pamamagitan ng pasyang lakas.

Educational Q&A
When confronted by violent, unrighteous aggression, decisive strength used in defense of one’s people is portrayed as legitimate; Bhīma’s controlled ferocity functions as protective power rather than cruelty for its own sake.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Bhīma, enraged, lifts a cloud-dark rākṣasa bodily and spins him rapidly a hundred times, depicting Bhīma’s overwhelming physical dominance in the encounter.
