Holding down Bhima with its trunk, Supratika then struck him with its knees. And winding its trunk round the neck of Bhima, it really tried to kill him. Whirling round Bhimasena freed himself from the twine of the elephant's trunk.
भीमोऽपिनिष्क्रम्य तत: सुप्रतीकाग्रतोऽभवत्। भीमं करेणावनम्य जानुभ्यामभ्यताडयत्॥ ग्रीवायां वेष्टयित्वैनं स गजो हन्तुमैहत। करवेष्टं भीमसेनो भ्रमं दत्त्वा व्यमोचयत्॥
