ततो भीमो महाराज गदां गुर्वीं महाप्रभाम् ॥
चिक्षेपाविध्य वेगेन दुर्योधनरथं प्रति ॥
ततः सा सहसा वाहांस् तव पुत्रस्य संयुगे ॥
सारथिं च गदा गुर्वी ममर्द भरतर्षभ ॥
पुत्रस् तु तव राजेन्द्र रथाद् धेमपरिष्कृतात् ॥
आप्लुतः सहसा यानं नन्दकस्य महात्मनः ॥
ततो भीमो हतं मत्वा तव पुत्रं महारथम् ॥
सिंहनादं महच् चक्रे तर्जयन्न् इव कौरवान् ॥

Then Bhima, O great king, swung a heavy, radiant mace with speed and hurled it at Duryodhana's chariot. Then it, all at once, crushed the horses of your son in that encounter, and the charioteer too — that heavy mace, O bull among the Bharatas. But your son, O lord of kings, leapt suddenly from his gold-adorned chariot onto the car of great-souled Nandaka. Then Bhima, thinking your son, the great chariot-warrior, had been slain, let out a great lion-roar, as though menacing the Kauravas.

Bhima's mace shatters chariot, horses, and charioteer at once — Duryodhana's pride is scattered in an instant, and he himself escapes only by leaping onto another man's car. It is telling how swiftly his recent triumph turned into flight. The verse teaches that a proud victory is fragile: one heavy blow sweeps away everything the victor boasted of; and he who only just shone with arrogance saves his life by a hasty leap — a vivid lesson in how unstable worldly superiority is.
