क्रोधं बलममर्षं च यो निधाय परंतपः । जितात्मा पाण्डवोऽमर्षी भ्रातुस्तिष्ठति शासने॥५-८८-२६॥
Though a scorcher of foes, he sets aside anger, strength, and fierce intolerance; self-conquered though intense, that Pāṇḍava remains under his brother’s governance.
english translation
तेजोराशिं महात्मानं बलौघममितौजसम् । भीमं प्रदर्शनेनापि भीमसेनं जनार्दन । तं ममाचक्ष्व वार्ष्णेय कथमद्य वृकोदरः॥५-८८-२७॥
That Bhīmasena—an accumulation of splendor, a great-souled one, a mass of strength, of immeasurable energy, formidable even in mere appearance—O Janārdana: tell me, O Vārṣṇeya, how is Vṛkodara today?
english translation
आस्ते परिघबाहुः स मध्यमः पाण्डवोऽच्युत । अर्जुनेनार्जुनो यः स कृष्ण बाहुसहस्रिणा । द्विबाहुः स्पर्धते नित्यमतीतेनापि केशव॥५-८८-२८॥
O Acyuta, the middle Pāṇḍava stands firm, his arms like iron bars. Among archers he is an “Arjuna”; and, O Kṛṣṇa, though two-armed, he ever contends even with the famed “thousand-armed,” O Keśava.

He who, in a single surge of speed, looses five hundred arrows—this Pāṇḍava is comparable in archery to King Kārtavīrya.

तेजसादित्यसदृशो महर्षिप्रतिमो दमे । क्षमया पृथिवीतुल्यो महेन्द्रसमविक्रमः॥५-८८-३०॥
In radiance he is like the sun; in self-control he resembles a great seer; in forbearance he is like the earth; in prowess he is equal to Mahendra (Indra).
