भीमसेनस्य वेगाभिपातः—विशोकसारथिसंवादश्च
Bhīma’s surge and dialogue with charioteer Viśoka
युक्त तत्त्वं च संचिन्त्य नोत्तरं किंचिदब्रवीत् । महाराज! उनके ऐसा कहनेपर द्रोणपुत्र मुसकराने-सा लगा। इनका कथन युक्तियुक्त तथा यथार्थ है, ऐसा सोचकर उसने कुछ उत्तर नहीं दिया
yukta-tattvaṃ ca saṃcintya nottaraṃ kiñcid abravīt |
他思量那话理路周全、与事实相符，便一句也不回答。大王啊！当那些话说出之时，德罗纳之子似乎微微一笑；认定其言稳妥而确切，遂默然不语。
