Having thus spoken that hero 0 Bharata, advanced through the centre of the hostile ranks following the track (opened and ) marked by Bhima with the elephants crushed by his mace. Then he (Dhrishtadyumna) beheld Bhima consuming the troops of the enemy and crushing in the conflict, many kings, like so many trees.
एवमुक्त्वा ततो वीरो ययौ मध्येन भारत। भीमसेनस्य मार्गेषु गदाप्रमथितैर्गजैः॥ स ददर्श तदा भीमं दहन्तं रिपुवाहिनीम्। वातो वृक्षानिव बलात् प्रभञ्जन्तं रणे रिपून्॥
