Thereupon the mighty-armed Bhima with his eyes red in rage, hurled, without thinking for a moment, at the son of Suta, a heavy sixsided mace adorned with gold, measuring full four cubit in length and looking like the bolt of heaven. With that mace, that enraged descendant of the Bharata race slew the welltrained and excellent steeds of Adhiratha's son, like Indra slaying the Asuras with his thunderbolt. Then O mighty monarch, with a couple of razor-headed arrows, the mighty-armed Bhima.
ततो भीमो महाबाहुः क्रोधसंरक्तलोचनः। वज्रकल्पां चतुष्किष्कुंगुवीं रुक्माङ्गदां गदाम्॥ प्राहिणोत् सूतपुत्राय षडस्रामविचारयन्। तया जघानाधिरथेः सदश्वान् साधुवाहिनः॥ गदया भारतः क्रुद्धो वज्रणेन्द्र इवासुरान्। ततो भीमो महाबाहुः क्षुराभ्यां भरतर्षभ॥
