तं भीमसेनो नामृष्यद् अवमानम् अमर्षणः ॥
स तस्मै व्यसृजत् तूर्णं शरवर्षम् अमित्रजित् ॥
ते शराः प्रेषिता राजन् भीमसेनेन संयुगे ॥
निपेतुः सर्वतो भीमाः कूजन्त इव पक्षिणः ॥

अभ्यद्रवंस् ते राधेयं वृकाः क्षुद्रमृगं यथा ॥
taṃ bhīmaseno nāmṛṣyad avamānam amarṣaṇaḥ ||
sa tasmai vyasṛjat tūrṇaṃ śaravarṣam amitrajit ||
te śarāḥ preṣitā rājan bhīmasenena saṃyuge ||
nipetuḥ sarvato bhīmāḥ kūjanta iva pakṣiṇaḥ ||
hemapuṅkhā mahārāja bhīmasenadhanuścyutāḥ ||

That insult Bhimasena could not endure, being intolerant of it; he, the conqueror of foes, swiftly loosed a shower of arrows at him. Those arrows, shot by Bhimasena in battle, O king, fell on every side, terrible, like shrieking birds. Golden-feathered, loosed from Bhimasena's bow, they rushed at Radheya like wolves upon small game.

Bhima's arrows rush "vṛkāḥ kṣudramṛgaṃ yathā," like wolves upon prey: fury drives them in a pack. It is telling that Karna's gentleness only inflames Bhima's anger further. The verse teaches that one man's restraint and the other's ferocity mark the difference in their spirit: where Karna spares, remembering his bond, Bhima strikes, remembering his grievance — and the same field displays side by side both a hidden love and an unappeased enmity.
