Having been thus addressed, Bhima, as if bursting with rage, like Yama himself at the time of universal dissolution, rushed towards the Rakshasa, licking the corners of his mouth and staring at him as he struck his own arms with his hands. Seeing Bhima waiting in expectation of fight, the Rakshasa rushed towards him in anger like Bali towards the wielder of thunder (Indra), gaping again and again and licking the corners of his mouth.
एवमुक्तस्ततो भीमः सृक्किणी परिसंलिहन्। स्मयमान इव क्रोधात् साक्षात् कालान्तकोपमः।॥ बाहुसंरम्भमेवैक्षन्नभिदुद्राव राक्षसम्। राक्षसोऽपि तदा भीमं युद्धार्थिनमवस्थितम्॥ मुहुर्मुहुाददानः सृक्किणी परिसंलिहन्। अभिदुद्राव संरब्धो बलिर्वज्रधरं यथा॥
