Sanskrit Original
तस्मिन सुघोरे तुमुले वर्तमाने प्रधानभूयिष्ठतरैः समन्तात्। दुःशासनं चत्र समीक्ष्य राजन् भीमो महाबाहुरचिन्त्यका॥ स्मृत्वाथ केशग्रहणं च देव्या वस्त्रापहारं च रजस्वलाया:। अनागसो भर्तृपराङ्मुखाया दुःखानि दत्तान्यपि विप्रचिन्त्य॥ जज्वाल क्रोधादथ भीमसेन आज्यप्रसिक्तो हि यथा हुताशः।
O monarch, the mighty Bhima of extraordinary prowess, seeing Dushasana, also remembered how he had insulted Devi Draupadi, by catching hold of her tresses and forcibly taking off her cloth, specially at a time when the should not have been touched by any male. The noble-minded Bhima also, remembering the various oppressions suffered by her on different other occasions when her lords (husbands) were obliged to turn their faces and keep quiet, actually flamed in fury like fire when helped with clarified butter.
