Sanskrit Original
इतः प्रद्रवतां रात्रौ यः स तेषां महात्मनाम्॥ आवृत्य मार्ग रौद्रात्मा तस्थौ गिरिरिवाचलः। तं भीमः समरश्लाघी बलेन बलिनां वरः॥ जघान पशुमारेण व्याघ्रः क्षुद्रमृगं यथा। पश्य दिग्विजये राजन् यथा भीमेन पातितः॥ जरासंधो महेष्वासो नागायुतबलो युधि। सम्बन्धी वासुदेवश्च श्याला: सर्वे च पार्षताः॥
When departing from this place, he (Kirmira) of fearful soul obstructed in the night the path of those high-souled ones like an immovable hill, that foremost of all strong men, Bhima, ever delighting in fight. Killed him like a beast, as a tiger kills a small deer. O king, see how Bhima, when out for conquest, killed. The great bow-man Jarasandha who possessed the strength of ten thousand elephants. Related (as they are) with Vasudeva (Krishna) and having sons of Prishata (Draupada) as their brother-in-law.
