यः स नागायुतप्राणो वातरंहा महाबलः। सामर्षः पाण्डवो नित्यं प्रियो भ्रातुः प्रियंकरः॥ कीचकस्य तु सज्ञातेर्यो हन्ता मधुसूदन। शूरः क्रोधवशानां च हिडिम्बस्य बकस्य च॥ पराक्रमे शक्रसमो मातरिश्वसमो बले। महेश्वरसमः क्रोधे भीमः प्रहरतां वरः॥ क्रोधं बलममर्षं च यो निधाय परंतपः। जितात्मा पाण्डवोऽमर्षी भ्रातुस्तिष्ठति शासने॥ तेजोराशिं महात्मानं वरिष्ठममितौजसम्। भीमं प्रदर्शनेनापि भीमसेन जनार्दनम्॥
