संजय उवाच । तस्मिन्हते गजानीके पुत्रो दुर्योधनस्तव । भीमसेनं घ्नतेत्येवं सर्वसैन्यान्यचोदयत्॥६-५९-१॥
Sañjaya said: When that elephant division had been neutralized, your son Duryodhana urged all the troops, saying, “Engage Bhīmasena and bring him down.”
english translation
ततः सर्वाण्यनीकानि तव पुत्रस्य शासनात् । अभ्यद्रवन्भीमसेनं नदन्तं भैरवान्रवान्॥६-५९-२॥
Then, at your son’s command, all the divisions advanced toward Bhīmasena, who was roaring with formidable cries.
english translation
तं बलौघमपर्यन्तं देवैरपि दुरुत्सहम् । आपतन्तं सुदुष्पारं समुद्रमिव पर्वणि॥६-५९-३॥
That boundless flood of force—hard to withstand even for the gods—came rushing on, difficult to cross, like the ocean at the height of the full tide.
english translation
रथनागाश्वकलिलं शङ्खदुन्दुभिनादितम् । अथानन्तमपारं च नरेन्द्रस्तिमितह्रदम्॥६-५९-४॥
Thick with chariots, elephants, and horses, resounding with conches and kettledrums—endless and shoreless—it seemed like a kingly ocean, its deep expanse still and unfathomed.
english translation
तं भीमसेनः समरे महोदधिमिवापरम् । सेनासागरमक्षोभ्यं वेलेव समवारयत्॥६-५९-५॥
In battle, Bhīmasena checked that unshaken sea of troops, as a shoreline restrains a mighty ocean.
