तमावारयदाचार्यो वेलेवोद्वृत्तमर्णवम् ॥ ७.१२७.५५ ॥
Making a great slapping sound, he went near Droṇa. The teacher blocked him, as a shore holds back a surging ocean.

मामनिर्जित्य समरे शत्रुमद्य महाबल ॥ ७.१२७.५९ ॥
O Bhīmasena, it is not possible for you to enter the enemy's army today without first defeating me in battle, O mighty one.
7.127.60
यदि ते सानुजः कृष्णः प्रविष्टोऽनुमते मम ।
अनीकं न तु शक्यं मे प्रवेष्टुमिह वै त्वया ॥ ७.१२७.६० ॥
Even if your younger brother Kṛṣṇa has entered with my permission, it is not possible for you to enter my army here.
7.127.61
अथ भीमस्तु तच्छ्रुत्वा गुरोर्वाक्यमशेषतः ।
क्रुद्धः प्रोवाच वै द्रोणं रक्तताम्रेक्षणः श्वसन् ॥ ७.१२७.६१ ॥
Then Bhīma, having heard the teacher's words in full, angry, with eyes red and copper-hued, breathing hard, spoke to Droṇa.
7.127.62
तवार्जुनो नानुमते ब्रह्बन्धो रमाजिरम् ।
प्रविष्टः स हि दुर्धर्षः शक्रस्यापि विशेद्बलम् ॥ ७.१२७.६२ ॥
O brahmin-kinsman, without your consent Arjuna has entered the battlefield; he is unassailable and could enter even the army of Indra.
7.127.63
येन त्वं परमां पूजां कुर्वता मानितो ह्यसि ।
नार्जुनोऽहं घृणी विप्र भीमसेनोऽस्मि ते रिपुः ॥ ७.१२७.६३ ॥
The Arjuna by whom you were honoured with supreme esteem is not I, O brahmin; I am the unmerciful Bhīmasena, your enemy.
7.127.64
पिता नस्त्वं गुरुर्बन्धुस्तदा पुत्रा हि र्ते वयम् ।
इति मन्यामहे सर्वे भवन्तं प्रणताः स्थिताः ॥ ७.१२७.६४ ॥
You are our father, teacher and kinsman; we all regard ourselves as your sons, and stand before you bowed in reverence.
7.127.65
तदद्य विपरीतं ते वदतोऽस्मासु दृश्यते ।
यदि शत्रुं त्वमात्मानं मन्यसे तत्तथाऽस्त्विह।
एष ते सदृशं कर्म शत्रोर्भीमः करिष्यति ॥ ७.१२७.६५ ॥
Today your words appear reversed toward us; if you regard yourself as an enemy, so let it be here; Bhīma will do to you this deed fitting for an enemy.
7.127.66
अथोद्धाम्य गदां वीरः कालदण्डमिवान्तकः ।
द्रोणायावासृजद्राजन्स रथादवपुप्लुवे ॥ ७.१२७.६६ ॥
Then the hero whirled his club, like the rod of Death, the Ender; O king, he hurled it at Droṇa and leaped down from his chariot.
7.127.67
साश्वसूतध्वजं यानं द्रोणस्यापोथयत्तदा ।
तदद्भुतमपश्याम पाण्डवेयस्य विक्रमम् ॥ ७.१२७.६७ ॥
Then he smashed Droṇa's chariot, with its horses, charioteer and banner. We saw that wondrous prowess of the Pāṇḍava's son.
7.127.68
द्रोणं तु विरथं कृत्वा भीमसेनो महाबलः ।
अभ्यवर्तत सैन्यानि तावकानि समन्ततः ॥ ७.१२७.६८ ॥
Having left Droṇa without a chariot, the mighty Bhīmasena advanced upon your armies on every side.
7.127.69
स मृद्रंस्तरसा योधान्वायुर्वृक्षानिवौजसा ।
विचचार रणे राजन्वायुतुल्यपराक्रमः ॥ ७.१२७.६९ ॥
Crushing the warriors swiftly, as the wind uproots trees with force, he roamed the battlefield, O king, his prowess equal to the wind's.
7.127.70
निर्जितस्तु तदा तेन पाण्डवेन महात्मना ।
अन्यं तु रथमातिष्ठद्द्रोणः प्रहरतां वरः ॥ ७.१२७.७० ॥
Then, defeated by that great-souled Pāṇḍava, Droṇa, best of those who strike, mounted another chariot.
