न हि पाञ्चालराजस्य लोके कश्चन विद्यते । भीमसात्यकयोरन्यः प्राणेभ्यः प्रियकृत्तमः॥६-५०-८६॥

For the king of the Pāñcālas, there was no one in the world—other than Bhīma and Sātyaki—who was dearer to him than his own life.

english translation

सोऽपश्यत्तं कलिङ्गेषु चरन्तमरिसूदनम् । भीमसेनं महाबाहुं पार्षतः परवीरहा॥६-५०-८७॥

He, Dhṛṣṭadyumna the son of Pārṣata, a subduer of hostile champions, saw mighty-armed Bhīmasena moving among the Kaliṅgas, pressing and breaking the opposing forces.

english translation

ननर्द बहुधा राजन्हृष्टश्चासीत्परंतपः । शङ्खं दध्मौ च समरे सिंहनादं ननाद च॥६-५०-८८॥

He roared again and again, O King, plainly exultant; in the fray he blew his conch and also raised a lion-like battle-cry.

english translation

स च पारावताश्वस्य रथे हेमपरिष्कृते । कोविदारध्वजं दृष्ट्वा भीमसेनः समाश्वसत्॥६-५०-८९॥

And Bhīmasena, seeing the Kovidāra-banner on that gold-adorned chariot drawn by dove-grey horses, regained his confidence.

english translation

धृष्टद्युम्नस्तु तं दृष्ट्वा कलिङ्गैः समभिद्रुतम् । भीमसेनममेयात्मा त्राणायाजौ समभ्ययात्॥६-५०-९०॥

But Dhṛṣṭadyumna, of immeasurable resolve, seeing Bhīmasena hard-pressed by the Kaliṅgas, advanced in the battle to protect him.
