तिष्ठेत कस्तस्य मर्त्यः पुरस्ताद्यः सर्वदेवेषु वरेण्य ईड्यः । पर्जन्यघोषान्प्रवपञ्शरौघान्पतंगसंघानिव शीघ्रवेगान्॥५-२२-११॥
What mortal could stand before him, who is choice-worthy and worthy of praise among all the gods, as he releases volleys of arrows with thunder-like resonance, swift as swarms of insects in flight?
english translation
दिशं ह्युदीचीमपि चोत्तरान्कुरून्गाण्डीवधन्वैकरथो जिगाय । धनं चैषामाहरत्सव्यसाची सेनानुगान्बलिदांश्चैव चक्रे॥५-२२-१२॥
Indeed, the Gāṇḍīva-bearer, fighting alone from his chariot, conquered even the northern quarter and the Northern Kurus. Savyasācin brought back their wealth and imposed tribute and military compliance.
english translation
यश्चैव देवान्खाण्डवे सव्यसाची गाण्डीवधन्वा प्रजिगाय सेन्द्रान् । उपाहरत्फल्गुनो जातवेदसे यशो मानं वर्धयन्पाण्डवानाम्॥५-२२-१३॥
And that ambidextrous archer, the wielder of the Gāṇḍīva—Phalguna—who in the Khāṇḍava episode overcame even the gods together with Indra, offered oblations to Jātavedas (Agni), thereby increasing the fame and honor of the Pāṇḍavas.
english translation
गदाभृतां नाद्य समोऽस्ति भीमाद्धस्त्यारोहो नास्ति समश्च तस्य । रथेऽर्जुनादाहुरहीनमेनं बाह्वोर्बले चायुतनागवीर्यम्॥५-२२-१४॥
Among mace-bearers, none today is equal to Bhīma; among elephant-riders, none is his equal. In chariot warfare, they say he is not inferior to Arjuna; and in the strength of his arms he possesses the force of ten thousand elephants.
english translation
सुशिक्षितः कृतवैरस्तरस्वी दहेत्क्रुद्धस्तरसा धार्तराष्ट्रान् । सदात्यमर्षी बलवान्न शक्यो युद्धे जेतुं वासवेनापि साक्षात्॥५-२२-१५॥
Well-trained, with enmity firmly set and full of force, if provoked he could swiftly bring the Dhārtarāṣṭras to ruin. Ever intolerant of insult and powerful, he cannot be overcome in war—even by Vāsava (Indra) himself.
