Encountering Bhishma in battle, Bhima began to resist the former; a dreadful, fierce and deafening uproar arose among all the troops when Bhima and Bhishma thus encountered each another. Thereupon the Pandavas greatly delighted roared out their war-cries.
स हि भीष्मं समासाद्य ताडयामास संयुगे। ततो निष्टानको घोरो भीष्मभीमसमागमे॥ बभूव सर्वसैन्यानां घोररूपो भयानकः। तथैव पाण्डवाः हृष्टाः सिंहनादमथानदन्॥
