Sloka:

 

Entering the ornate courtroom of the Pandava palace, Duryodhana mistakes the floor for a pool and a pool for floor, at which Bheema laughs aloud and speaks thus.

 

 

 

How are you my friend Suyodhana, 

the ocean of valour

 

Shed your confusion fast, come here

and you may occupy this throne 

 

Alas! Why are you walking with your robes raised

when there is no water?

Did this unmatched, unblemished and jewel-paved

floor mislead you into thinking it’s a pool?

 

Oh! Did you fall into the water? 

Have no fears, you won’t die

Shed your fears and take my hand,

without any harm I will lift you to the ground.
