भानुमांस्तु ततो भीमं शरवर्षेण छादयन् । ननाद बलवन्नादं नादयानो नभस्तलम्॥६-५०-३१॥

Then Bhānumat covered Bhīma with a rain of arrows and let out a mighty roar, making the sky resound.

english translation

न तं स ममृषे भीमः सिंहनादं महारणे । ततः स्वरेण महता विननाद महास्वनम्॥६-५०-३२॥

In that great engagement, Bhīma would not endure that lion-like roar; then, with a mighty voice, he sounded an even greater cry.

english translation

तेन शब्देन वित्रस्ता कलिङ्गानां वरूथिनी । न भीमं समरे मेने मानुषं भरतर्षभ॥६-५०-३३॥

Startled by that sound, the Kalinga battle-formation was thrown into confusion. In the strategic clash they no longer regarded Bhīma as merely human, O bull among the Bharatas.

english translation

ततो भीमो महाराज नदित्वा विपुलं स्वनम् । सासिर्वेगादवप्लुत्य दन्ताभ्यां वारणोत्तमम्॥६-५०-३४॥

Then Bhīma, O great king, after uttering a mighty roar, leapt down with speed, sword in hand, onto an excellent elephant, seizing it by its tusks.

english translation

आरुरोह ततो मध्यं नागराजस्य मारिष । खड्गेन पृथुना मध्ये भानुमन्तमथाच्छिनत्॥६-५०-३५॥

He then climbed onto the middle of that lordly elephant, O venerable one, and with a broad sword struck down Bhānumant there in the center.
