O Bhima, if disregarding the gods and relying on your own strength of arms you have committed this act of rashness-the destruction of the Yakshas and the Rakshasas-for the sake of Draupadi, I am the more pleased with you for that. O Vrikodara, I have been this day delivered from a terrible curse.
यदिदं साहसं भीम कृष्णार्थे कृतवानसि। मामनादृत्य देवांश्च विनाशं यक्षरक्षसाम्॥ स्वबाहुबलमाश्रित्य तेनाहं प्रीतिमांस्त्वयि। शापादद्य विनिर्मुक्तो घोरदस्मि वृकोदर॥
