Virāṭa-parva Adhyāya 33 — Kuru Cattle-Raid and Matsya Mobilization (भूमिंजय-प्रेरणा)

Devanagari script

दर्शयामास भीमस्तु सुशर्माणं नराधिपम्‌ | इसके बाद भीमने रणभूमिमें स्थित राजा युधिष्ठिरके पास जाकर उन्हें राजा सुशर्माको दिखलाया

Transliteration

darśayāmāsa bhīmas tu suśarmāṇaṃ narādhipam |

Translation

Vaiśampāyana nói: Bhīma bèn dẫn vua Suśarmā đến trình trước nhà vua (Yudhiṣṭhira). Sau cuộc giao tranh, Bhīma đến bên Yudhiṣṭhira đang đứng trên chiến địa và cho thấy Suśarmā—như một dấu hiệu rằng bổn phận nơi chiến trận được hoàn tất bằng sự kiềm chế, bằng chứng cứ và trách nhiệm, chứ không phải bằng lời khoe khoang suông.
