सर्व एते महोत्साहा ये त्वया परिकीर्तिताः । एकतस्त्वेव ते सर्वे समेता भीम एकतः ॥
English Translation
Dhritarashtra said All these who have been enumerated by you are of great energy and courage; but Bhima alone is equal to all of them combined.
भीमसेनाद्धि मे भूयो भयं संजायते महत् । क्रुद्धादमर्षणात्तात व्याघ्रादिव महारुरोः ॥
English Translation
From Bhimasena wrathful I have very great fear like that of a large deer from an enraged tiger.
जागर्मि रात्रयः सर्वा दीर्घमुष्णं च निःश्वसन् । भीतो वृकोदरात्तात सिंहात्पशुरिवाबलः ॥
English Translation
I am awake during entire nights breathing large and hot sighs, being afraid of Vrikodara, O dear, as any other animal fears a lion.
न हि तस्य महाबाहोः शक्रप्रतिमतेजसः । सैन्येऽस्मिन्प्रतिपश्यामि य एनं विषहेद्युधि ॥
English Translation
In this entire army do I not see one who can withstand in battle this one of long arms and having strength like that of Shakra.
अमर्षणश्च कौन्तेयो दृढवैरश्च पाण्डवः । अनर्महासी सोन्मादस्तिर्यक्प्रेक्षी महास्वनः ॥
English Translation
That son of Kunti and Pandu when wrathful is an implacable enemy; and he smiles not even in jest and is mad with rage, looks at things askance and is of loud voice,
महावेगो महोत्साहो महाबाहुर्महाबलः । मन्दानां मम पुत्राणां युद्धेनान्तं करिष्यति ॥
English Translation
Possessed of great force and of great energy, possessed of long arms and of great strength will put an end to the existence of any wicked sons in battle.
ऊरुग्राहगृहीतानां गदां बिभ्रद्वृकोदरः । कुरूणामृषभो युद्धे दण्डपाणिरिवान्तकः ॥
English Translation
Vrikodara, that bull in the race of Kuru, wielding the mace slay them struck by a heavy calamity in battle like the god of death with his staff in his hand.
शैक्यायसमयीं घोरां गदां काञ्चनभूषिताम् । मनसाहं प्रपश्यामि ब्रह्मदण्डमिवोद्यतम् ॥
English Translation
That terrible steel mace with eight sides and ornamented with gold I now see in my mind like the staff of Brahma uplifted.
यथा रुरूणां यूथेषु सिंहो जातबलश्चरेत् । मामकेषु तथा भीमो बलेषु विचरिष्यति ॥
English Translation
As a fully grown up lion roams among a hear of deer, so Bhima roam among my army.
सर्वेषां मम पुत्राणां स एकः क्रूरविक्रमः । बह्वाशी विप्रतीपश्च बाल्येऽपि रभसः सदा ॥
English Translation
Towards all my sons he alone (of all his brothers) showed his cruel strength. A voracious eater and endued with great strength, even in his childhood was he inimical (to my sons).
उद्वेपते मे हृदयं यदा दुर्योधनादयः । बाल्येऽपि तेन युध्यन्तो वारणेनेव मर्दिताः ॥
English Translation
My heart quakes that Duryodhana and other sons of mine even when fighting with him in their childhood were smashed as by elephants.
तस्य वीर्येण संक्लिष्टा नित्यमेव सुता मम । स एव हेतुर्भेदस्य भीमो भीमपराक्रमः ॥
English Translation
O pressed by his strength my sons have ever been; and that Bhima of terrible prowess is the cause of this rupture.
ग्रसमानमनीकानि नरवारणवाजिनाम् । पश्यामीवाग्रतो भीमं क्रोधमूर्छितमाहवे ॥
English Translation
Devouring my army composed of men, elephants and horses, do I see Bhima in the front senseless with wrath,
अस्त्रे द्रोणार्जुनसमं वायुवेगसमं जवे । संजयाचक्ष्व मे शूरं भीमसेनममर्षणम् ॥
English Translation
In arms equal of Drona and Arjuna and in speed having the force of wind, in wrath equal to Maheshvara himself, who will kill Bhima in battle.
अतिलाभं तु मन्येऽहं यत्तेन रिपुघातिना । तदैव न हताः सर्वे मम पुत्रा मनस्विना ॥
येन भीमबला यक्षा राक्षसाश्च समाहताः । कथं तस्य रणे वेगं मानुषः प्रसहिष्यति ॥
English Translation
My sons were not all killed by that one of independent mind by whom Yakshas of terrible strength and the Rakshasas were killed in days of old.
न स जातु वशे तस्थौ मम बालोऽपि संजय । किं पुनर्मम दुष्पुत्रैः क्लिष्टः संप्रति पाण्डवः ॥
निष्ठुरः स च नैष्ठुर्याद्भज्येदपि न संनमेत् । तिर्यक्प्रेक्षी संहतभ्रूः कथं शाम्येद्वृकोदरः ॥
English Translation
How can that son of Pandu do so now having been wronged by my wicked sons. Cruel and wrathful, he could not bend even when broken. Looking at things ask once, with his eyebrows contracted how can Vrikodara be peaceful.
बृहदंसोऽप्रतिबलो गौरस्ताल इवोद्गतः । प्रमाणतो भीमसेनः प्रादेशेनाधिकोऽर्जुनात् ॥
English Translation
A hero of exceedingly white complexion and tall like the palm tree, Bhimasena measures a Prasesha (the span of a thumb) more than Arjuna.
जवेन वाजिनोऽत्येति बलेनात्येति कुञ्जरान् । अव्यक्तजल्पी मध्वक्षो मध्यमः पाण्डवो बली ॥
English Translation
Surpassing in speed the horses, in strength the elephants, the second son of Pandu who is of great strength has sweet eyes.
इति बाल्ये श्रुतः पूर्वं मया व्यासमुखात्पुरा । रूपतो वीर्यतश्चैव याथातथ्येन पाण्डवः ॥
English Translation
The Pandava in form and power just as I heard from the lips of Vyasa in days gone by.
आयसेन स दण्डेन रथान्नागान्हयान्नरान् । हनिष्यति रणे क्रुद्धो भीमः प्रहरतां वरः ॥
English Translation
Easily by means of his mace, the chariots, the elephants, men and horses he will kill in battle, that terrible being when wrathful, that man of cruel purposes.
अमर्षी नित्यसंरब्धो रौद्रः क्रूरपराक्रमः । मम तात प्रतीपानि कुर्वन्पूर्वं विमानितः ॥
English Translation
That wrathful Bhima, who is ever furiousthat chief among the smiters has by acting against my wishes, O dear, before been insulted by me.
निष्कीर्णामायसीं स्थूलां सुपर्वां काञ्चनीं गदाम् । शतघ्नीं शतनिर्ह्रादां कथं शक्ष्यन्ति मे सुताः ॥
English Translation
That mace which has no curves, which is made of steel, which is of bulk, of beautiful sides, adorned with gold, which is capable of killing a hundred and when flung producing a terrible sound-how will my sons bears?
अपारमप्लवागाधं समुद्रं शरवेगिनम् । भीमसेनमयं दुर्गं तात मन्दास्तितीर्षवः ॥
English Translation
That inaccessible ocean, which has no shore, which is unfathomable and which has currents in the shape of Bhima, those wicked ones are desirous of crossing over.
क्रोशतो मे न शृण्वन्ति बालाः पण्डितमानिनः । विषमं नावबुध्यन्ते प्रपातं मधुदर्शिनः ॥
English Translation
Those children thinking themselves to be wise do not listen to my words, even if I cry out. Seeing the honey (formerly collected on mountain tops) they do not care for the heavy fall.
संयुगं ये करिष्यन्ति नररूपेण वायुना । नियतं चोदिता धात्रा सिंहेनेव महामृगाः ॥
English Translation
Those who encounter in battle that death in human shape have their dooms settled by the father of the universe, like those of large deer encountering lions,
शैक्यां तात चतुष्किष्कुं षडस्रिममितौजसम् । प्रहितां दुःखसंस्पर्शां कथं शक्ष्यन्ति मे सुताः ॥
English Translation
How shall my sons bear, Odear, the mace when flung at them the mace which is four cubits long, having six sides of illimitable powers of destruction and terrible to touch.
गदां भ्रामयतस्तस्य भिन्दतो हस्तिमस्तकान् । सृक्किणी लेलिहानस्य बाष्पमुत्सृजतो मुहुः ॥
