What mortal will stand before him, who is most worthy of reverence among all the gods, and who lets loose multitudes of arrows that roar like thunderclouds, sweeping over every quarter like swarms of swiftly darting locusts? Alone on his chariot, wielding Gandiva, he conquered the northern regions, as well as the northern Kurus, and carried off all their wealth. He made the people of the Dravida land a part of his army. It was Phalguna, the wielder of Gandiva, who, having vanquished all the gods together with Indra in the Khandava forest, made an offering to Agni, thereby increasing the honor and glory of the Pandavas. Among all wielders of the mace there is none equal to Bhima; nor is there anyone so skilled a rider of elephants. They say that on the chariot he is not inferior even to Arjuna, and in the might of his arms he equals ten thousand elephants. Well trained and active, he who has once more become hostile will, in his wrath, consume the sons of Dhritarashtra in the twinkling of an eye. Ever wrathful and mighty, he is not one whom even Indra himself could vanquish in battle. Great-hearted, strong, and gifted with great lightness of hand, the twin brothers, the sons of Madri, thoroughly trained by Arjuna, will leave not a single enemy alive, like a pair of hawks preying upon great flocks of birds.
