Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 50 — Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Appraisal of Bhīmasena (भीमसेनभयवर्णनम्)
भीमसेनाद्धि मे भूयो भयं संजायते महत् | क्रुद्धादमर्षणात् तात व्याप्रादिव महारुरो:,तात! मुझे क्रोधमें भरे हुए अमर्षशील भीमसेनसे बड़ा डर लगता है; ठीक उसी तरह, जैसे महान् मृगको किसी व्याप्रसे सदा भय बना रहता है
bhīmasenād dhi me bhūyo bhayaṃ saṃjāyate mahat | kruddhād amarṣaṇāt tāta vyāghrād iva mahāruroḥ ||
持国王说道：“最令我心生大惧的，首推毗摩塞那。待他震怒之时——刚烈不屈，绝不容辱——我对他的恐惧，犹如巨兽对猛虎那般恒常的畏惧。”

Unchecked wrongdoing breeds fear even in the powerful: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s anxiety reveals an inner recognition that injustice invites retaliation. Bhīma’s ‘amarṣa’ (intolerance of insult and adharma) becomes a moral force that makes the guilty apprehensive.
In the Udyoga Parva, as war approaches, Dhṛtarāṣṭra confides his growing dread—especially of Bhīma’s wrath. He uses a vivid simile: just as a great wild animal lives in fear of a tiger, so he fears the enraged, unforbearing Bhīmasena.
