O king, Ketumān—lord of the Kalingas—together with the Naiṣādas, surrounded Bhīmasena on all sides in the engagement, with many thousands of chariots and with ten thousand elephants.

चेदिमत्स्यकरूषाश्च भीमसेनपुरोगमाः । अभ्यवर्तन्त सहसा निषादान्सह राजभिः॥६-५०-८॥
The Cedis, the Matsyas, and the Karūṣas—led by Bhīmasena—suddenly surged forward and attacked the Niṣādas together with their kings.

घोरमासीत्ततो युद्धं भीमस्य सहसा परैः । यथेन्द्रस्य महाराज महत्या दैत्यसेनया॥६-५०-१०॥
Then, for Bhīma, a dreadful battle suddenly arose against the enemy host—like that of Indra, O great king, when he fought a vast army of the Dānavas.
