And likewise Alayudha, O king, showered the son of Kunti again and again with straight-flying arrows whetted on stone, the tamer of foes. Thus all those rakshasas rushed upon Bhimasena, with weapons of every kind, fearsome, seeking victory for your sons. He, struck by the mighty ones, Bhimasena, of great strength, pierced them all with five sharp arrows to each. They, slain by Bhima, the rakshasas, sprung from the wombs of asses, let out tumultuous cries and fled in ten directions.

Bhima alone fends off a multitude of rakshasas, striking each in measured turn — "five arrows to each": calm precision against the fury of a mob. It is telling that the fearsome rakshasas, "born of the wombs of asses," flee with cries. The verse teaches that a disorderly multitude, however fierce, yields to one composed and skilled man; and shouting and onslaught are powerless where cool mastery stands its ground, striking down each in his turn.
