अभूतपूर्वं भीमस्य मार्दवोपहितं वचः ॥ ५.७४.१ ॥
Hearing this, the mighty-armed Keśava, as if smiling, took in these unprecedented words of Bhīma, filled with gentleness.

गिरेरिव लघुत्वं तच्छीतत्वमिव पावके ।
मत्वा रामानुजः शौरिः शार्ङ्गधन्वा वृकोदरम् ॥ ५.७४.२ ॥
Deeming that like lightness in a mountain or coolness in fire, Śauri, Rāma's younger brother, bearer of the Śārṅga bow, looked upon Vṛkodara (Bhīma).

सन्तेजसंस्तदा वाग्भिर्भातरिश्वेव पावकम् ।
उवाच भीममासीनं कृपयाऽभिपरिप्लुतम् ॥ ५.७४.३ ॥
Then the radiant one spoke with words to Bhīma, who sat seized by compassion, as the wind speaks to fire.

अपि त्वां केचिदुन्मत्तं मन्यन्तेऽतद्विदो जनाः ॥ ५.७४.७ ॥
Alone, you lie sighing like a weakling weighed down by a burden. Some people who do not know the truth may think you are mad.

आरुज्य वृक्षान्निर्मूलान्गजः परिरुजन्निव ।
निघ्नन्पद्भिः क्षितिं भीम निष्टनन्परिधावसि ॥ ५.७४.८ ॥
O Bhīma, like an elephant uprooting and breaking trees, you run about, trampling the earth with your feet and groaning.

नान्यं निशि दिवा चापि कदाचिदभिनन्दसि ॥ ५.७४.९ ॥

जान्वोर्मूर्धानमाधाय चिरमास्ते प्रमीलितः ॥ ५.७४.१० ॥

अभीक्ष्णं दृश्यसे भीम सर्वं तन्मन्युकारितम् ॥ ५.७४.११ ॥
O Bhīma, again and again you are seen knitting your brows and biting your lips as if in rage. All of that is caused by anger.

यथा तपुरस्तात्सविता दृश्यते शुक्रमुच्चरन् ।
यथा च पश्चान्निर्मुक्तो ध्रुवं पर्येति रश्मिवान् ॥ ५.७४.१२ ॥
As the blazing sun is seen rising with brilliance, and as, once released, it surely moves about radiant with its rays,

तथा सत्यं ब्रवीम्येतन्नास्ति तस्य व्यतिक्रमः ।
हन्ताहं गदयाभ्येत्य दुर्योधनममर्पणम् ॥ ५.७४.१३ ॥
Thus I speak the truth; there is no transgression of it. Going forward with my club, I will slay Duryodhana, the wrathful one.

कश्मलेनाभिपन्नोऽसि तेन ते विकृतं मनः ॥ ५.७४.१७ ॥
Ah, you hope for nothing within yourself; you have become like an impotent man without manhood. Overcome by faintness, your mind has been deranged.

Your heart trembles, your mind sinks down; seized by the paralysis of the thighs, you therefore desire peace.
5.74.19
अनित्यं किल मर्त्यस्य पार्थ चित्तं चलाचलम् ।
वातवेगप्रचलिता अष्ठीला शाल्मलेरिव ॥ ५.७४.१९ ॥
O son of Pṛthā, indeed the mind of a mortal is impermanent and unsteady, like the pods of the silk-cotton tree tossed by the force of the wind.
5.74.20
तवैषा विकृता बुद्धिर्गवां वागिव मानुषी ।
मनांसि पाण्डुपुत्राणां मञ्जयत्यप्लवानिव ॥ ५.७४.२० ॥

यदोजसा न लभते क्षत्रियो न तदश्रुते ॥ ५.७४.२३ ॥
O subduer of foes, this dejection is not fitting for you. What a warrior does not obtain by his valour, he does not attain.
