O king, terrified by that noise, the relatives of that Rakshasas with their attendants came out of their houses. Seeing them terrified and deprived of reason, that best of all wielders of arms, the strong Bhima, comforted them and made them promise (to give up cannibalism.) Bhima said: Do not again kill men. If you do it, you will be killed like this (Baka).
तेन शब्देन वित्रस्तो जनस्तस्याथ रक्षसः। निष्पपात गृहाद् राजन् सहैव परिचारिभः॥ तान् भीतान् विगतज्ञानान् भीमः प्रहरतां वरः। सान्त्वयामास बलवान् समये च न्यवेशयत्॥ न हिंस्या मानुषा भूयो युष्माभिरिति कर्हिचित्। हिंसतां हि वधः शीघ्रमेवमेव भवेदिति॥
