Bhimasena of fierce should then appeared like the destroyer himself. then O Bharata, we saw Bhimasena whirling his mace in all directions appear like the god Shiva in the course of his wild dance. We beheld, O mighty monarch, his heavy and sounding mace that resembled the club of the destroyer himself, the whiz of which equalled the roar of Indra thunder, which was fierce to look at, and which was stained copiously with blood and smeared with marrow and hair,
कृतान्त इव रौद्रात्मा भीमसेनो व्यदृश्यत॥ व्यायच्छमानं गदया दिखं सर्वासु भारत। अपश्याम रणे भीमं नृत्यन्तमिव शंकरम्॥ यमदण्डोपमां गुर्वीमिन्द्राशनिसमस्वनाम्। अपश्याम महाराज रौद्रां विशसनी गदाम्॥ विमिश्रां केशमज्जाभिः प्रदिग्धां रुधिरेण च।
