Bhima's composure reaches its limit here — he bears the blows without interrupting his meal. It is telling that even beatings do not shake him from his calm: he finishes what he has begun before giving his answer; one who is master of himself acts in his own time, not at the enemy's prompting. Here is a steadfastness no assault can shake: the righteous does not dance to another's rage but keeps his own measure. So the scripture shows that endurance is stronger than hot temper; and Bhima, finishing his food under a hail of blows, defeats his enemy even before the battle — by unshaken self-command alone.
