विशालां बदरीं प्राप्तो भ्रातृभिः सह राक्षसाः ॥ ३.१५५.१ ॥
I am Bhīmasena, a Pāṇḍava, born right after Dharmarāja. Together with my brothers I have arrived at Viśālā Badarī, O rākṣasas.
3.155.2
अपश्यत्तत्रपाञ्चाली सौगन्धिकमनुत्तमम् ।
अनिलोढमितो नूनं सा बहूनि परीप्सति ॥ ३.१५५.२ ॥
There Pāñcālī saw the unequalled fragrant saugandhika lotus, which the wind had blown away from here; surely she desires many more of them.
3.155.3
तस्या मामनवद्याङ्ग्या धर्मपत्न्याः प्रिये स्थितम् ।
पुष्पाहारमिह प्राप्तं निबोधत निशाचराः ॥ ३.१५५.३ ॥
Standing here for the sake of that faultless-limbed, lawful wife of mine, dear one, I have come here to gather flowers; know this, O night-wanderers.
3.155.4
आक्रीडोऽयं कुबेरस्य दयितः पुरुषर्षभ ।
नेह शक्यं मनुष्येण विहर्तुं मर्त्यधर्मणा ॥ ३.१५५.४ ॥
This pleasure-grove is dear to Kubera, O best of men. It is not possible for a mortal human to roam here.
3.155.5
देवर्षयस्तथा यक्षा देवाश्चात्र वृकोदर ।
आमन्त्र्य यक्षप्रवरं पिबन्ति च हरन्ति च ॥ ३.१५५.५ ॥
Here too the divine sages, the yakṣas and the gods, having asked leave of the foremost of yakṣas, drink and carry away, O Vṛkodara.
3.155.6
गन्धर्वाप्सरसश्चैव विहरन्त्यत्र पाण्डव ।
यक्षाधिपस्यानुमते कुबेरस् महात्मनः ॥ ३.१५५.६ ॥
And here gandharvas and apsarases also roam, O Pāṇḍava, with the consent of Kubera, the great-souled lord of yakṣas.

अन्यायेनेह यः कश्चिदवमन्य धनेश्वरम् ।
विहर्तुमिच्छेद्दुर्वृत्तः स विनश्येन्न संशयः ॥ ३.१५५.७ ॥
Whoever here, unjustly insulting the lord of wealth, wishes to roam about, that wicked one will perish; there is no doubt.
3.155.8
तमनादृत्य पद्मानि जिहीर्षसि बलादिह ।
धर्मराजस्य चात्मानं ब्रवीषि भ्रातरं कथम् ॥ ३.१५५.८ ॥
Disregarding him, you wish to seize the lotuses here by force; and how do you call yourself the brother of the king of dharma?
3.155.9
आमन्त्र्य यक्षराजं वै ततः पिव हरस्व च ।
नातोऽन्यथा त्वया शक्यं किंचित्पुष्करमीक्षितुं ॥ ३.१५५.९ ॥
Having asked leave of the king of yakṣas, then drink and take; otherwise it is not possible for you even to look upon any lotus.
3.155.10
राक्षसास्तं न पश्यामि धनेश्वरमिहान्तिके ।
दृष्ट्वाऽपिच महाराजं नाहं याचितुमुत्सहे ॥ ३.१५५.१० ॥
O rākṣasas, I do not see that lord of wealth nearby here; and even having seen the great king, I am not willing to beg.
3.155.11
न हि याचन्ति राजान एष धर्मः सनातनः ।
न चाहं हातुमिच्छामि क्षात्रधर्मं कथंचन ॥ ३.१५५.११ ॥
Kings do not beg; this is the eternal dharma. And I do not wish to abandon the warrior's duty in any way.
3.155.12
इयं च नलिनी रम्या जाता पर्वतनिर्झरे ।
नेयं भवनमासाद्यकुबेरस्य महात्मनः ॥ ३.१५५.१२ ॥
And this lovely lotus-pond grew in the mountain stream; it did not grow after reaching the dwelling of the great-souled Kubera.
3.155.13
तुल्या हि सर्वभूतानामियं वैश्रवणस्य च ।
एवं गतेषु द्रव्येषु कः कं याचितुमर्हति ॥ ३.१५५.१३ ॥
This lake is equal for all beings and for Vaiśravaṇa (Kuvera) too. When possessions stand thus, who is entitled to ask anything of anyone?
3.155.14
इत्युक्त्वा राक्षसान्सर्वान्भीमसेनो व्यगाहत ।
तां तु पुष्करिणीं वीरः प्रभिन्न इव कुञ्जरः ॥ ३.१५५.१४ ॥
Having spoken thus to all the rākṣasas, the hero Bhīmasena plunged into that lotus pool, like an elephant in rut.
3.155.15
ततः स राक्षसैर्वाचा प्रतिषिद्धः प्रतापवान् ।
मा मैवमिति सक्रोधैर्भर्त्सयद्भिः समन्ततः ॥ ३.१५५.१५ ॥
Then the mighty one was forbidden by the rākṣasas with words — 'Do not do so, do not do so' — and they scolded him furiously on all sides.
3.155.16
कदर्थीकृत्यतु स तान्राक्षसान्भीमविक्रमः ।
व्यगाहत महातेजास्ते तं सर्वे न्यवारयन् ॥ ३.१५५.१६ ॥
But that one of terrible valour, the greatly radiant, disregarding those rākṣasas, plunged in; they all tried to stop him.
3.155.17
गृह्णीत बध्नीत विकर्ततेमं ।
पचाम खादाम च भीमसेनम्।
क्रुद्धा ब्रुवन्तोऽभिययुर्द्रतं ते ।
शस्त्राणि चोद्यम्य विवृत्तनेत्राः ॥ ३.१५५.१७ ॥
'Seize him, bind him, tear him apart! Let us cook and eat Bhīmasena!' — saying this in anger, they swiftly rushed upon him, raising their weapons, with rolling eyes.
3.155.18
प्रगृह्यतानभ्यपतत्तरस्वी ।
ततोऽब्रवीत्तिष्ठत तिष्ठतेति
ते तं तदा तोमरपट्टसाद्यै-
र्व्याविद्धशस्त्रैः सहसा निपेतुः। ॥ ३.१५५.१८ ॥
Then the swift one seized them and attacked; then he said, 'Stand, stand!' — and they, struck by spears, pikes and swords whirled about, suddenly fell down.
3.155.19
जिघांसवः क्रोधवशाः सुभीमा ।
भीमं समन्तात्परिवव्रुरुग्राः।
जिघांसवः क्रोधवशाः सुभीमा ।
भीमं समन्तात्परिवब्रुरुग्राः ॥ ३.१५५.१९ ॥
Eager to kill, ruled by anger, very terrible and fierce, they surrounded Bhīma on all sides.
3.155.20
वातेन कुन्त्यां बलवान्सुजातः ।
शूरस्तरस्वी द्विषतां निहन्ता।
सत्ये च धर्मे च रतः सदैव ।
पराक्रमे शत्रुभिरप्रधृष्यः ॥ ३.१५५.२० ॥
Born of Kuntī through Vāta, the mighty, well-born hero, swift and strong, slayer of enemies, ever devoted to truth and dharma, unassailable by foes in valour.
3.155.21
तेषां स मार्गान्विविधान्महात्मा ।
निहत्य शस्त्राणि च शास्त्रवाणाम्।
यथा प्रवीरान्निजघान भीमः ।
परश्शतान्पुष्करिणीसमीपे ॥ ३.१५५.२१ ॥
Having shattered their various paths, their weapons and arrows, the great-souled Bhīma slew hundreds of foremost heroes near the lotus pool.
3.155.22
ते तस्य वीर्यं च बलं च दृष्ट्वा ।
विद्याबलंबाहुबलं तथैव।
अशक्नुवन्तः सहितं समन्ता-
द्द्रुतं प्रवीरा सहसा निवृत्ताः ॥ ३.१५५.२२ ॥
Seeing his valour, his strength, the power of his skill and the might of his arms, the heroes, unable to withstand him combined on all sides, suddenly turned back in haste.
3.155.23
विदीर्यमाणास्तत एव तूर्ण-
माकाशमास्थाय विमूढसंज्ञाः।
कैलासशृङ्गाण्यभिदुद्रुवुस्ते ।
भीमार्दिताः क्रोधवशाः प्रभग्नाः ॥ ३.१५५.२३ ॥
Torn apart and tormented by Bhīma, ruled by anger, they at once rose into the sky, bewildered in mind, and fled toward the peaks of Kailāsa, routed.
3.155.24
स शक्रवद्दानवदैत्यसङ्घान् ।
विक्रम्य जित्वा च रणेऽरिसङ्घान्।
विगाह्यतां पुष्करीणीं जितारिः ।
कामं स जग्राह ततोऽम्बुजानि ॥ ३.१५५.२४ ॥
Like Indra, having overpowered and conquered the hosts of Dānavas and Daityas and the bands of enemies in battle, having vanquished his foes, he plunged into the lotus pond and took the lotuses at will.
3.155.25
ततः स पीत्वाऽमृतकल्पमम्भो ।
भूयो बभूवोत्तमवीर्यतेजाः।
उत्पाट्य जग्राह ततोऽम्बुजानि ।
सौगन्धिकान्युत्तमगन्धवन्ति ॥ ३.१५५.२५ ॥
Then he drank the water, which was like nectar, and again became one of supreme valor and splendor; uprooting them, he took the fragrant saugandhika lotuses, richly scented.
3.155.26
ततस्तु ते क्रोधवशाः समेत्य ।
धनेश्वरं भीमबलप्रणुन्नाः।
भीमस्य वीर्यं च बलं च संख्ये ।
यथावदाचख्युरतीव दीनाः ॥ ३.१५५.२६ ॥
Then they, overcome by anger, driven on by Bhīma's might, approached the lord of wealth and, very downcast, related exactly the valor and strength of Bhīma in battle.
3.155.27
तेषां वचस्तत्तु निशाम्य देवः ।
प्रहस्य रक्षांसि ततोऽभ्युवाच।
गृह्णातु भीमो जलजानि कामं ।
कृष्णानिमित्तं विदितं ममैतत् ॥ ३.१५५.२७ ॥
Having heard their words, the god laughed and then said to the rākṣasas: "Let Bhīma take the water-born lotuses as he wishes; this, for Kṛṣṇā's sake, is known to me."
3.155.28
ततोऽभ्यनुज्ञाय धनेश्वरं ते ।
जग्मुः कुरूणां प्रवरं विरोषाः।
भीमं च तस्यां ददृशुर्नलिन्यां ।
यथोपजोषं विहरन्तमेकम् ॥ ३.१५५.२८ ॥
Then, having taken leave of the lord of wealth, they departed without anger, and saw Bhīma, best of the Kurus, alone in that lotus pond, sporting at his ease.
