Rājasūya-sambhāra: Prosperity under Rājadharma and the Initiation of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Sacrifice
युध्यमानं बलात् संख्ये विजिग्ये पाण्डवर्षभ: । इसके बाद पाण्बुपुत्र भीमने सुपाश्वके निकट राजराजेश्वर क्रथको, जो युद्धमें बलपूर्वक उनका सामना कर रहे थे, हरा दिया
yudhyamānaṃ balāt saṅkhye vijigye pāṇḍavarṣabhaḥ |
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Sa kasagsagan ng labanan, ang “toro” sa hanay ng mga Pāṇḍava ay nanaig sa kalabang lumalaban sa tindi ng lakas. Ipinakikita nito ang mapagpasiyang giting ni Bhīma sa makatarungang digmaan, kung saan ang matatag na lakas at tungkulin sa larangan ay nagpapasuko sa mga haring tumututol.
