तम् आयान्तम् अनादृत्य दृष्ट्वा ग्रस्तं घटोत्कचम् ॥
अलायुधेन समरे सिंहेनेव गवां पतिम् ॥
रथेनादित्यवपुषा भीमः प्रहरतां वरः ॥
किरञ् शरौघान् प्रययाव् अलायुधरथं प्रति ॥
तम् आयान्तम् अभिप्रेक्ष्य स तदालायुधः प्रभो ॥
घटोत्कचं समुत्सृज्य भीमसेनं समाह्वयत् ॥
तं भीमः सहसाभ्येत्य राक्षसान्तकरः प्रभो ॥
सगणं राक्षसेन्द्रं तं शरवर्षैर् अवाकिरत् ॥
tam āyāntam anādṛtya dṛṣṭvā grastaṃ ghaṭotkacam ||
alāyudhena samare siṃheneva gavāṃ patim ||

Disregarding him [Karna] as he approached, seeing Ghatotkacha seized by Alayudha in battle as a lion seizes the lord of a herd, Bhima, best of strikers, on a chariot with the form of the sun, scattering showers of arrows, sped toward the chariot of Alayudha. Seeing him approaching, then Alayudha, O lord, leaving Ghatotkacha, called out to Bhimasena. Him Bhima, having suddenly closed in, the slayer of rakshasas, O lord, overwhelmed that lord of rakshasas together with his retinue with showers of arrows.

Bhima, disregarding even Karna, rushes to save his son Ghatotkacha, seized "as a lion seizes the lord of a herd": a father's love draws him past the greatest of enemies. It is telling that the bonds of blood prove stronger than the thirst for a glorious duel. The verse teaches that true attachment does not weigh the advantage of battle: a father throws everything aside for a son in danger; and in this impulse is not the calculation of a warrior but the voice of the heart, which stands above all warrior's honor.
