3.156.1
ततस्तानि महार्हाणि दिव्यानि भरतर्षभ ।
बहूनि बहुरूपाणि विरजांसि समाददे ॥ ३.१५६.१ ॥
Then, O bull of the Bharatas, he took up those very precious, divine, many-formed, stainless ones, many in number.
3.156.2
ततो वायुर्महाञ्शीघ्रो नीचैः शर्करकर्षणः ।
प्रादुरासीद्वरस्पर्शः संग्राममभिचोदयन् ॥ ३.१५६.२ ॥
Then a great, swift wind arose, blowing low and dragging gravel, pleasant to the touch, urging on the battle.
3.156.3
पपात महती चोल्का सनिर्घाता महाभया ।
निष्प्रभश्चाभवत्सूर्यंश्छन्नरश्मिस्तमोवृतः ॥ ३.१५६.३ ॥
A great meteor fell with a thunderous crash, most dreadful; and the sun became lustreless, its rays hidden, enveloped in darkness.
3.156.4
निर्घातश्चाभवद्भीमो भीमे विक्रममास्थिते ।
चचाल पृथिवी चापि पांसुवर्षं पपात च ॥ ३.१५६.४ ॥
And the thunder-crash became terrible when Bhīma displayed his prowess; the earth trembled, and a shower of dust fell.
3.156.5
सलोहिता दिशश्चासन्खरवाचो मृगद्विजाः ।
तमोवृतमभूत्सर्वं न प्राज्ञायत किंचन। ॥ ३.१५६.५ ॥
The directions became blood-red, and beasts and birds cried out in harsh voices; everything was covered in darkness, nothing could be discerned.
3.156.6
अन्ये च बहवो भीमा उत्पातास्तत्र जज्ञिरे ।
तदद्भुतमभिप्रेक्ष्य धर्मपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः।
उवाच वदतां श्रेष्ठः कोऽस्मानभिभविष्यति ॥ ३.१५६.६ ॥
And many other terrible portents arose there. Seeing that wonder, Yudhiṣṭhira, son of Dharma, the best of speakers, said: "Who will overcome us?"
3.156.7
सज्जीभवत भद्रं वः पाण्डवा युद्धदुर्मदाः ।
यथा रूपाणि पश्यामि सुव्यक्तो नः पराक्रमः ॥ ३.१५६.७ ॥
Pāṇḍavas, may you prosper. Get ready, you who are proud and eager for battle; I see the forms of these omens, and our prowess will clearly show itself.
3.156.8
एवमुक्त्वा ततो राजा वीक्षांचक्रे समन्ततः ।
अपश्यमानो भीमं तु धर्मपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ॥ ३.१५६.८ ॥
Having spoken thus, the king looked about on all sides; but not seeing Bhīma, Dharmaputra Yudhiṣṭhira (searched on).
3.156.9
ततः कृष्णां यमौ चापि समीपस्थानरिंदमः ।
पप्रच्छ भ्रातरं भीमं भीमकर्माणमाहवे ॥ ३.१५६.९ ॥
Then the subduer of foes asked Kṛṣṇā and the twins standing nearby about his brother Bhīma, whose deeds in battle were terrible.
3.156.10
कच्चिन्न भीमः पाञ्चालि किंच कृत्यं चिकीर्षति ।
कृतवानपि वा वीर साहसं साहसप्रियः ॥ ३.१५६.१० ॥
O Pāñcālī, does Bhīma intend some deed, or has he already done it? O hero, he is fond of daring — perhaps he has committed some rash act.
3.156.11
इमे ह्यकस्मादुत्पाता महासमरशंसिनः ।
दर्शयन्तो भयं तीव्रं प्रादुर्भूताः समन्ततः ॥ ३.१५६.११ ॥
These portents have suddenly appeared, foretelling a great battle, showing intense fear on every side.
3.156.12
तं तथावादिनं कृष्णा प्रत्युवाच मनस्विनी ।
प्रिया प्रियं चिकीर्षन्ती महिषी चारुहासिनी ॥ ३.१५६.१२ ॥
To him, who spoke thus, the high-minded Kṛṣṇā replied — the chief queen, wishing to do what is dear to her beloved, lovely in her smile.
3.156.13
यत्तत्सौगन्धिकं राजन्नाहृतं मातरिश्वना ।
तन्मया भीमसेनस्य प्रीतयाऽद्योपपादितम् ॥ ३.१५६.१३ ॥
O king, that saugandhika flower which Mātariśvan brought, I have today procured out of affection for Bhīmasena.
3.156.14
अपि चोक्तो मया वीरो यदिपश्येर्बहून्यपि ।
तानि सर्वाणअयुपादाय शीघ्रमागम्यतामिति ॥ ३.१५६.१४ ॥
And I had told that hero: 'Even if you see many, take them all and come back quickly.'
3.156.15
स तु नूनं महाबाहुः प्रियार्थं मम पाण्डवः ।
प्रागुदीचीं दिशं राजंस्तान्याहर्तुमितो गतः ॥ ३.१५६.१५ ॥
O king, that mighty-armed Pāṇḍava has surely gone from here toward the northeast to bring those flowers for my delight.
3.156.16
उक्तस्त्वेवं तया राजा यमाविदमथाब्रवीत् ।
गच्छाम सहितास्तूर्णं येन यातो वृकोदरः ॥ ३.१५६.१६ ॥
When she had spoken thus, the king then said to the twins: 'Let us all go together quickly to where Vṛkodara (Bhīma) has gone.'
3.156.17
वहन्तु राक्षसा विप्रान्यथाश्रान्तान्यथाकृशान् ।
त्वमप्यमरसंकाश वह कृष्णां घटोत्कच ॥ ३.१५६.१७ ॥
Let the rākṣasas carry the brahmins, since they are weary and emaciated; and you too, O god-like Ghaṭotkaca, carry Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī).
3.156.18
व्यक्तं दूरमितो भीमः प्रविष्ट इतिमे मतिः ।
चिरं चतस्य कालोऽयं स च वायुसमो जवे ॥ ३.१५६.१८ ॥
It is my thought that Bhīma has clearly gone far from here; much time has passed since he went, and he is equal to the wind in speed.
3.156.19
तरस्वी वैनतेयस्य सदृशो भुवि लङ्घने ।
उत्पतेदपिचाकाशं निपतेच्चयथेच्छकम् ॥ ३.१५६.१९ ॥
That swift one, like Garuḍa son of Vinatā in leaping upon the earth, would leap up even into the sky and fall down at will.
3.156.20
तमन्वियाम भवतां प्रभावाद्रजनीचराः ।
पुरा स नापराध्नोति सिद्धानां ब्रह्मवादिनाम् ॥ ३.१५६.२० ॥
Let us follow him by your power, you night-wanderers; formerly he did not offend the perfected sages and the speakers of Brahman.
3.156.21
तथेत्युक्त्वा तु ते सर्वेहैडिम्बप्रमुखास्तदा ।
उद्देशज्ञाः कुबेरस्य नलिन्या भरतर्षभ ॥ ३.१५६.२१ ॥
Having said 'So be it,' then all of them led by Hiḍimba, knowing the place of Kubera's lake, O bull of the Bharatas.
3.156.22
आदाय पाण्डवांश्चैव तांश्च विप्राननेकशः ।
लोमशेनैव सहिताः प्रययुः प्रीतमानसाः ॥ ३.१५६.२२ ॥
Taking the Pāṇḍavas and those many brahmins, accompanied by Lomaśa, they set out with glad hearts.
3.156.23
ते सर्वे त्वरिता गत्वा ददृशुस्तत्र कानने ।
पद्मसौगन्धिकवतींनलिनीं सुमनोरमाम् ॥ ३.१५६.२३ ॥
All of them, hastening there, saw in that forest the lake Nalinī, abounding in lotuses and fragrant lilies, very charming.
3.156.24
तं च भीमं महात्मानं तस्यास्तीरे व्यवस्थितम् ।
ददृशुर्निहतांश्चैव यक्षांश्च विपुलेक्षणान् ॥ ३.१५६.२४ ॥
And they saw the great-souled Bhīma standing on its bank, and the slain yakṣas with large eyes.
3.156.25
भिन्नकायाक्षिबाहूरुन्संचूर्णितशिरोधरान् ।
तं च भीमं महात्मानं तस्यास्तीरे व्यवस्थितम् ॥ ३.१५६.२५ ॥
They saw the yakṣas with bodies, eyes, arms and thighs broken and necks and heads crushed, and they saw the great-souled Bhīma standing on the bank of that river.
3.156.26
सक्रोधं स्तव्धनयनं संदष्टदशनच्छदम् ।
उद्यम्य च गदां दोर्भ्यां नदीतीरे व्यवस्थितम् ॥ ३.१५६.२६ ॥
Full of wrath, with fixed staring eyes and lips bitten by his teeth, he stood on the river bank with his club raised in both arms.
3.156.27
प्रजासंक्षेपसमये दण्डहस्तमिवान्तकम् ।
तं दृष्ट्वा धर्मराजस्तु परिष्वज्याथ भारत ॥ ३.१५६.२७ ॥
Seeing him like Death himself with staff in hand at the time of the destruction of creatures, the king of dharma then embraced him, O Bhārata.
3.156.28
उवाच श्लक्ष्णया वाचा कौन्तेय किमिदं कृतम् ।
साहसं वत भद्रं ते देवानामपि चाप्रियम्।
पुनरेवं न कर्तव्यं मम चेदिच्छसि प्रियम् ॥ ३.१५६.२८ ॥
He said in gentle words: "Son of Kuntī, what is this that you have done? It is a rash deed, may good fortune be yours, and it is displeasing even to the gods. If you desire my pleasure, do not do such a thing again."
3.156.29
अनुशिष्य तु कौन्तेयं पद्मानि परिगृह्य च ।
तस्यामेव नलिन्यां तु विजह्ररमरोपमाः ॥ ३.१५६.२९ ॥
Having instructed the son of Kuntī, and taking up lotuses, they then disported themselves in that very lotus-pond, like immortals.
3.156.30
एतस्मिन्नैव काले तु प्रगृहीतशिलायुधाः ।
प्रादुरासन्महाकायास्तस्योद्यानस्य रक्षिणः ॥ ३.१५६.३० ॥
At this very moment there appeared the guardians of that park, huge-bodied, holding stones and weapons.
3.156.31
ते दृष्ट्वाधर्मराजानं महर्षिं चापि लोमशम् ।
नकुलं सहदेवं च तथाऽन्यान्ब्राह्मणर्षभान् ॥ ३.१५६.३१ ॥
Seeing the king of dharma, the great sage Lomaśa, Nakula and Sahadeva, and the other best of brahmins,
3.156.32
विनयेन नताः सर्वेप्रणिपत्य च भारत ।
सान्त्विता धर्मराजेन प्रसेदुः क्षणदाचराः ॥ ३.१५६.३२ ॥
O Bhārata, all bowed down in humility and prostrated themselves; comforted by the king of dharma, the night-wanderers were appeased.
3.156.33
विदिताश्चकुबेरस्य तत्रते कुरुपुङ्गवाः ।
ऊषुर्नातिचिरं कालं रममाणाः कुरूद्वहाः।
प्रतीक्षमाणआ बीभत्सुं गन्धमादनसानुषु ॥ ३.१५६.३३ ॥
Recognized by Kubera, those bulls among the Kurus, delighting there and awaiting Bībhatsu on the slopes of Gandhamādana, did not dwell there for very long.
