विराट उवाच
न सूदतां मानद श्रद्दधामि ते; सहस्रनेत्रप्रतिमो हि दृश्यसे ॥
श्रिया च रूपेण च विक्रमेण च; प्रभासि तातानवरो नरेष्व् इह ॥
भीम उवाच
नरेन्द्र सूदः परिचारको ऽस्मि ते; जानामि सूपान् प्रथमेन केवलान् ॥
आस्वादिता ये नृपते पुराभवन्; युधिष्ठिरेणापि नृपेण सर्वशः ॥
बलेन तुल्यश् च न विद्यते मया; नियुद्धशीलश् च सदैव पार्थिव ॥
गजैश् च सिंहैश् च समेयिवान् अहं; सदा करिष्यामि तवानघ प्रियम् ॥

na sūdatāṃ mānada śraddadhāmi te; sahasranetrapratimo hi dṛśyase ||
śriyā ca rūpeṇa ca vikrameṇa ca; prabhāsi tātānavaro nareṣv iha ||

narendra sūdaḥ paricārako 'smi te; jānāmi sūpān prathamena kevalān ||
āsvāditā ye nṛpate purābhavan; yudhiṣṭhireṇāpi nṛpeṇa sarvaśaḥ ||
balena tulyaś ca na vidyate mayā; niyuddhaśīlaś ca sadaiva pārthiva ||
gajaiś ca siṃhaiś ca sameyivān ahaṃ; sadā kariṣyāmi tavānagha priyam ||
Virata said: "Honored one, I do not believe you are a cook: you resemble the thousand-eyed one. In beauty, in form, and in valor you shine here, dear one, not lower than the finest of men." Bhima said: "O lord of men, I am your cook and servant. I know soups excellent in themselves, which King Yudhishthira too once approved in every respect. None is equal to me in strength, and combat has always been my nature, O king. I have grappled with elephants and lions; always, O blameless one, I shall do what pleases you."

Bhima does not deny his strength, but places it within the bounds of usefulness to the king. True power knows how not only to conquer, but to serve without needless disclosure.
