बक-राक्षसस्य आह्वानम् तथा वृक्षयुद्धम्
Summons of Baka and the Tree-Weapon Engagement
गच्छतस्तस्य वेगेन ताक्ष्यमारुतरंहस: । भीमस्य पाणए्जुपुत्राणां मूर्च्छेव समजायत,गरुड़ और वायुके समान तीव्र गतिवाले भीमसेनके चलते समय उनके (महान) वेगसे अन्य पाण्जुपुत्रोंको मूर्च्छा-सी आ जाती थी
gacchatas tasya vegena tākṣyamārutaraṁhasaḥ | bhīmasya pāṇḍuputrāṇāṁ mūrcchā iva samajāyata ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：当毗摩——疾如迦楼罗，迅若狂风——以惊人的速度前行时，般度的其他诸子仿佛被眩晕所压倒，既无法追及，也难以承受他步伐的威势。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights extraordinary capability tempered by context: Bhīma’s unmatched vigor inspires admiration, yet it also shows how exceptional power can outpace companions, implying the need for awareness of others’ limits even within a shared purpose.
As the Pāṇḍavas proceed, Bhīma moves with such tremendous speed—likened to Garuḍa and the wind—that the other brothers are described as becoming almost faint, unable to keep up with his forceful pace.
