कुरुराजे हि रङ्गस्थे भीमे च बलिनां वरे ।
पक्षपातकृतस्नेहः स द्विधेवाभवज्जनः ॥ १.१४५.१ ॥
When the Kuru king and Bhīma, best of the strong, stood in the arena, the crowd, moved by affection born of partiality, was split as if into two.
1.145.2
जय हे कुरुराजेति जय हे भीम इत्युत ।
पुरुषाणां सुविपुलाः प्रणादाः सहसोत्थिताः ॥ १.१४५.२ ॥
"Victory, O king of the Kurus!" and "Victory, O Bhīma!" — loud shouts of the men arose suddenly.

भारद्वाजः प्रियं पुत्रमश्वत्थामानमब्रवीत् ॥ १.१४५.३ ॥
Then the wise son of Bharadvāja (Droṇa), looking at the arena like an agitated ocean, spoke to his beloved son Aśvatthāman.

गुरोराज्ञा भीम इति गान्धारे गुरुशासनम्।
अलं शिक्षाकृतं वेगमलं साहसमित्युत ॥ १.१४५.५ ॥
Then Aśvatthāman rose swiftly and restrained them: "It is the teacher's command, O Bhīma! O son of Gāndhārī! This is the teacher's order: enough of speed made by training, enough of rashness."
1.145.6
ततस्तावुद्यतगतौ गुरुपुत्रेण वारितौ ।
युगान्तानिलसंक्षुब्धौ महावेलाविवार्णवौ ॥ १.१४५.६ ॥
Then the two, who had rushed forward, were restrained by the teacher's son; they were like two great oceans with mighty shores, agitated by the winds at the end of an age.
1.145.7
ततो रङ्गाङ्गणगतो द्रोणो वचनमब्रवीत् ।
निवार्य वादित्रगणं महामेघनिभस्वनम् ॥ १.१४५.७ ॥
Then Droṇa, standing in the courtyard of the arena, stopped the band of instruments whose sound was like a great thundercloud, and spoke these words.
1.145.8

ऐन्द्रिरिन्द्रानुजसमः स पार्थो दृश्यतामिति ॥ १.१४५.८ ॥
"Let that Pārtha be seen, who is dearer to me than my own son, skilled in all weapons, a son of Indra, equal to Indra's younger brother."

सार्कः सेन्द्रायुधतडित्ससन्ध्य इव तोयदः ॥ १.१४५.१० ॥
Phālguna appeared wearing golden armour, like a rain-cloud joined with the sun, with Indra's bolt of lightning, and with the twilight.
1.145.11
ततः सर्वस्य रङ्गस्य समुत्पिञ्जलकोऽभवत् ।
प्रावाद्यन्त च वाद्यानि सशङ्खानि समन्ततः ॥ १.१४५.११ ॥
Then the whole arena was stirred into excitement, and instruments were sounded everywhere, together with conch-shells.
1.145.12
एष कुन्तीसुतः श्रीमानेष मध्यमपाण्डवः ।
एष पुत्रो महेन्द्रस्य कुरूणामेष रक्षिता ॥ १.१४५.१२ ॥
"This is the glorious son of Kuntī, this is the middle Pāṇḍava. This is the son of the great Indra; this is the protector of the Kurus."
1.145.13

कुन्त्याः प्रस्रवसंयुक्तैरस्रैः क्लिन्नमुरोऽभवत् ॥ १.१४५.१४ ॥
Thus the tumultuous words spoken by the spectators were heard, and Kuntī's breast became drenched with the tears flowing from her eyes.

सहसैवोत्थितो रङ्गे भिन्दन्निव नभस्तलम् ॥ १.१४५.१६ ॥

अवतीर्णः सकवचस्तत्रैव सुमिहास्वनः ॥ १.१४५.१७ ॥

अन्तर्धानेन चास्त्रेण पुनरन्तर्हितोऽभवत् ॥ १.१४५.२१ ॥

सुकुमारं च सूक्ष्मं च गुरु चापि गुरुप्रियः ।
सौष्ठवेनाभिसंयुक्तः सोऽविध्यद्विविधैः शरैः ॥ १.१४५.२३ ॥
Delicate and fine, and heavy as well, the beloved of his teacher, endowed with dexterity, pierced the targets with various arrows.
1.145.24
भ्रमतश्च वराहस्य लोहस्य प्रमुखे समम् ।
पञ्चबाणानसंक्तान्संमुमोचैकबाणवत् ॥ १.१४५.२४ ॥
Before the revolving boar and the iron mechanism he released five arrows at once, unentangled with one another, as if they were a single arrow.

And so on, in great measure: with sword, with bow, and with the mace too, O sinless one, the master of weapons displayed circular feats.
1.145.27
ततः समाप्तभूयिष्ठे तस्मिन्कर्मणि भारत ।
मन्दीभूते समाजे च वादित्रस्य च निःस्वने ॥ १.१४५.२७ ॥

1.145.28
द्वारदेशात्समुद्भूतो माहात्म्यबलसूचकः ।
वज्रनिष्पेषसदृशः शुश्रुवे भुजनिःस्वनः ॥ १.१४५.२८ ॥
from the doorway there rose the sound of arms, a signal of greatness and strength, like the crash of a thunderbolt, and it was heard.

दीर्यन्ते किं नु गिरयः किंस्विद्भूमिर्विदीर्यते ।
किंस्विदापूर्यते व्योम जलधाराघनैर्घनैः ॥ १.१४५.२९ ॥
Are the mountains splitting? Is the earth itself being torn apart? Is the sky being filled with dense clouds pouring streams of water?
1.145.30
रङ्गस्यैवं मतिरभूत्क्षणेन वसुधाधिप ।
द्वारं चाभिमुखाः सर्वे बभूवुः प्रेक्षकास्तदा ॥ १.१४५.३० ॥
O lord of the earth, in an instant this was the thought in the arena, and then all the spectators turned to face the doorway.

Surrounded then by those brothers with weapons raised, mace in hand, he shone as Indra did of old, surrounded by the hosts of gods when the Dānavas were destroyed.
