ततः सम्मन्त्रय कृष्णेन कृतस्वस्त्ययनो बली । भीमसेनो जरासंधमाससाद युयुत्सया,तदनन्तर बलवान भीमसेन भी श्रीकृष्णसे सलाह लेकर स्वस्तिवाचनके अनन्तर युद्धकी इच्छासे जरासंधके पास आ धमके
tataḥ sammantrya kṛṣṇena kṛtasvastyayano balī | bhīmaseno jarāsandham āsasāda yuyutsayā ||
Pagkaraan, ang makapangyarihang si Bhīmasena, matapos sumangguni kay Kṛṣṇa at maisagawa ang mga mapalad na ritwal at pagbabasbas, ay lumapit kay Jarāsandha na may matibay na pasyang makipaglaban.
