Shloka 32
अर्जुनागमनम्
Arjuna’s Arrival and Reunion on the Sacred Mountain
त॑ मृगेन्द्रमिवायान्तं प्रभिन्नमिव वारणम् | ददृशु: सर्वभूतानि बाणकार्मुकधारिणम्,मदवर्षी कुंजर और मृगराजकी भाँति आते हुए धनुष-बाणधारी भीमसेनको उस समय सब भूतोंने देखा
taṁ mṛgendram ivāyāntaṁ prabhinnam iva vāraṇam | dadṛśuḥ sarvabhūtāni bāṇa-kārmuka-dhāriṇam ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: Noon, nakita ng lahat ng nilalang si Bhīmasena na papalapit—gaya ng maringal na hari ng mga leon, gaya ng dambuhalang elepanteng nag-aalimpuyo sa pagkalasing ng musth—taglay ang busog at mga palaso. Ipinakikita ng tagpong ito na ang lakas na matuwid, kapag iniuukol sa makatarungang layon, ay nagiging kahanga-hanga at nakapanghihilakbot sa buong daigdig.

The verse highlights the ethical dimension of strength: when a powerful warrior acts with rightful intent, his presence inspires awe and signals protection and resolve rather than mere violence.
Bhīmasena is seen approaching with bow and arrows; his advance is compared to a lion and a rut-maddened elephant, emphasizing his formidable energy and readiness for action.
