Fighting thus in the battle for a few minutes, Bhima, the best of the Kurus, then taking up Shalya on his arms, hurled him to a distance and the best of men Bhimasena surprised all (by his feat), for though he threw the powerful Shalya on the ground, he did not hurt him much.
पाषाणसम्पातनिभैः प्रहारैरभिजघ्नतुः। मुहूर्तं तौ तदान्योन्यं समरे पर्यकर्षताम्॥ ततो भीमः समुक्षिप्य बाहुभ्यां शल्यमाहवे। अपातयत् कुरुश्रेष्ठो ब्राह्मणा जहसुस्तदा॥ तत्राश्चर्यं भीमसेनश्चकार पुरुषर्षभः। यच्छल्यं पातितं भूमौ नावधीद् बलिनं बली॥
