Sanskrit Original
मृगप्रेप्सुर्महारौद्रे वने चरति निर्भयः। स तत्र मनुजव्याघ्रो वने वनचरोपमः॥ पद्भ्यामभिसमापेदे भीमसेनो महाबलः। स प्रविष्टो महारण्ये नादान् नदति चाद्भुतान्॥ त्रासयन् सर्वभूतानि महासत्त्वपराक्रमः। ततो भीमस्य शब्देन भीताः सर्पा गुहाशया:॥
(He), desirous of bagging games, wandered about fearlessly in that awfully terrible forest. And in that forest, the exceedingly powerful Bhimasena, valiant and strong as the tiger, roamed on foot like the dweller of woods. And the highly energetic and exceedingly powerful (Bhimasena), entering into that great forest, sent forth strange yells terrifying all the creatures. Then serpents, frightened at the shouts of Bhimasena, hid themselves in the caves.
