Saying this, the Pandava Bhima tightened the cloth round his waist in anger. Rubbing his palms and biting his nether lips, the heroic Bhima, armed with the tree, rushed towards him. As Maghavata (Indra) hurls his thunderbolt, so he (Bhima) made it (the tree), which was like the mace of Yama, descend with force on his (Kirmira's) head. The Rakshasas was seen to stand in the battle unmoved.
