न हय अस्य वीर्येण बलेन कश चित; समः पृथिव्यां भविता नरेषु शीतॊष्णवातातप कर्शिताङ्गॊ; न शेषम आजाव असुहृत्सु कुर्यात ॥ ३-११९-१६ ॥
'There is not a single soul in the entire world who can claim strength and prowess equal to his. Yet, alas, his body has become emaciated from the harshness of cold, heat, and wind. However, when he rises to battle, he will leave not a single one of his enemies unvanquished.' ॥ 3-119-16 ॥

पराच्यां नृपान एकरथेन जित्वा; वृकॊदरः सानुचरान रणेषु सवस्त्यागमद यॊ ऽति रथस तरॊ वी; सॊ ऽयं वने कलिश्यति चीरवासः ॥ ३-११९-१७ ॥
'This formidable hero, Bhima, whose appetite rivals that of a wolf, single-handedly vanquished all the kings of the east, along with their followers in battle, returning from those conquests safe and unscathed. Yet now, clad only in the bark of trees, he endures a wretched existence in the depths of the forest.' ॥ 3-119-17 ॥

सत्रे समृद्धे ऽति रथस्य राज्ञॊ; वेदी तलाद उत्पतिता सुता या सेयं वनेवासम इमं सुदुःखं; कथं सहत्य अद्य सती सुखार्हा ॥ ३-११९-२० ॥
'The daughter of a king, renowned for her prowess as a mounted warrior, emerged from beneath the altar during the grandeur of sacrificial rites. She has always been accustomed to a life of luxury and happiness; how then can she endure this wretched existence in the woods?' ॥ 3-119-20 ॥
