तं सर्वे संश्रयिष्यामः प्राकारमकुतोभयम् । भीमं प्रहरतां श्रेष्ठं वज्रपाणिमिवामराः॥६-१९-११॥
We shall all take refuge in him as in a fortification free from fear—Bhīma, foremost among those who strike—just as the immortals rely on Indra, wielder of the thunderbolt.
english translation
न हि सोऽस्ति पुमांल्लोके यः संक्रुद्धं वृकोदरम् । द्रष्टुमत्युग्रकर्माणं विषहेत नरर्षभम्॥६-१९-१२॥
There is no man in the world who could endure even to look upon Vṛkodara when he is enraged—upon that bull among men, whose deeds are formidable.
english translation
भीमसेनो गदां बिभ्रद्वज्रसारमयीं दृढाम् । चरन्वेगेन महता समुद्रमपि शोषयेत्॥६-१९-१३॥
Bhīmasena, bearing a firm mace hard as thunderbolt-substance, could—moving with tremendous speed—dry up even the ocean (a hyperbolic image of force).

केकया धृष्टकेतुश्च चेकितानश्च वीर्यवान् । एत तिष्ठन्ति सामात्याः प्रेक्षकास्ते नरेश्वर॥६-१९-१४॥
The Kekayas, Dhṛṣṭaketu, and the valorous Cekitāna—these stand there with their ministers as your allied supporters and observers, O king.
english translation
धृतराष्ट्रस्य दायादा इति बीभत्सुरब्रवीत् । ब्रुवाणं तु तथा पार्थं सर्वसैन्यानि मारिष । अपूजयंस्तदा वाग्भिरनुकूलाभिराहवे॥६-१९-१५॥
“They are the heirs of Dhṛtarāṣṭra,” said Bībhatsu (Arjuna). As Pārtha spoke thus, O venerable one, all the forces honored him in that campaign with supportive, battle-favoring words.
