ततो भीमो महाबाहुः सहसाभ्यपतद् बली ॥
साहाय्यकारी समरे पार्षतस्य महात्मनः ॥

ततो दुर्योधनो राजा कलिङ्गं समचोदयत् ॥

Then mighty-armed Bhima, the strong one, suddenly rushed forth to aid the great-souled Parshata in battle. He pierced Drona with seven sharpened arrows, O king, and swiftly set Parshata upon another chariot. Then King Duryodhana sent forth Kalinga, joined with a great army, to protect the son of Bharadvaja. Then that vast army of the Kalingas, O lord of men, at the command of your son, swiftly advanced upon Bhima. Drona, the foremost of chariot-warriors, leaving the Panchalya, engaged in battle with the aged Virata and Drupada, who had come together against him; Dhrishtadyumna, meanwhile, advanced upon Dharmaraja in the fight. Then a tumultuous, hair-raising battle broke out between the Kalingas and the great-souled Bhima, dreadful in form, terrifying, capable of destroying the world."

Bhima acts as a protector of his ally: he not only strikes Drona but practically saves Dhrishtadyumna. The battlefield holds together not through isolated feats alone but through timely support given to one another.
