पुत्रेषु तव वीरेषु चिक्रीडार्जुनपूर्वज: । मृगेष्विव महाराज चरन् व्यात्रो महाबल:ः,राजन! जैसे महाबली व्याप्र मृगोंके झुंडमें विचरता हो, उसी प्रकार भीमसेन आपके वीर पुत्रोंके समुदायमें खेल रहे थे
putreṣu tava vīreṣu cikrīḍārjuna-pūrvajaḥ | mṛgeṣv iva mahārāja caran vyāghro mahābalaḥ ||
三阇耶说道：“大王啊，力大无比的毗摩仙那——阿周那的长兄——在您那些勇猛的儿子们之间穿行，如同猛虎游走于鹿群之中，在战斗里仿佛戏耍一般。”

Educational Q&A
The verse uses a predator–prey simile to highlight how overwhelming strength can make combat seem effortless, while also reminding the listener (Dhṛtarāṣṭra) that unjust aggression and pride invite devastating consequences in war.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, Arjuna’s elder brother, is moving through the ranks of Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s sons on the battlefield, striking them down with such dominance that it resembles a tiger roaming among deer.
