"That was a great and terrible battle of trees, destructive of the trees, between Baka and the Pandava, O great king. Proclaiming his own name, Baka rushed at the Pandava and seized mighty Bhima with both arms; and Bhima, the mighty-armed, embracing that quivering, swift rakshasa, dragged him by force."

The battle now moves from hurling trunks to direct combat. It is telling that Baka "proclaims his own name" as he throws himself into the clash: the tyrant is proud of his fearsome name, accustomed to inspiring terror — but a name will not save one whose cause is lawless. Here is the vanity of a terrifying reputation before true strength: the devourer's loud name is empty when it meets righteous might. So the scripture shows that the two forces have now met face to face in the decisive struggle; and the forest crushed by tree trunks prefigures the coming crushing of Baka himself.
