Droṇa’s Ācārya-Dakṣiṇā: Capture of Drupada and Division of Pāñcāla (द्रोण-आचार्यदक्षिणा)
कचेषु च निगृहौनान् विनिहत्य बलाद् बली | चकर्ष क्रोशतो भूमौ घृष्टजानुशिरोंड्सकान्
kaceṣu ca nigṛhītān vinihatya balād balī | cakarṣa krośato bhūmau ghṛṣṭa-jānu-śiro-'ṃsukān, rājan |
ویشَمپاین نے کہا—طاقتور بھیم انہیں زبردستی پکڑ کر مغلوب کرتا اور ان کے چیخنے چلّانے کے باوجود زمین پر گھسیٹتا؛ یہاں تک کہ ان کے گھٹنے، سر اور کندھے چھل جاتے تھے۔

Vaiśampāyana describes Bhīma overpowering the Kaurava boys—grabbing them by the hair, subduing them, and dragging them on the ground as they cry—leaving them scraped and injured, underscoring the growing hostility between the cousins.
