You Uncivilized Demon! Wait, Wait till my eating is completed – There itself
After the battle, eating is impure since I would have touched the dead body and hence improper
Sloka:
The courageous Bheema, after consuming the food offered by the Brahmins, boarded the vehicle with oxes and filled with foodstuff, made up with red garland and other perfumes, entered the demon’s woods and eating the laatter’s food, challenged him.
Hey the king of demons, come, the king of demons
Hey, the king of demons, Come, properly, the enemy of gods, the night-walking crooked, do not have any foul thoughts – forever
Enjoying you would leave – do not have any such thoughts – you illhearted demon
Filled with sorrow, now, this weeping, stop it. No more concerns shall you face in future. With the food, I am leaving, There would a way out
Hey the crown of Brahmin, Listen to my words
Sloka:
Listening to mother’s words, that proud one, approached the noble Brahmin and and spoke thus, thinking that he would end his own starvation by the food and the demon with his hand.
Hey the crown of Brahmin, Listen to my words
The offerings for the demon – to take them quickly – and by the instructions of my mother – For sure I have come here
Without wasting any more time – send me with the foodstuff of the strong demon, in full
Sloka:
Thus consoling the Brahmin and his wife, who were weeping miserably, Kunthi was coming back and she was met by the foe-eliminating Bhim Sen. The latter, in all respect bowed to his mother and said thus.
With due respect, hey mother, I bow on your pair of feet
I would prepare the food and the son would come with pleasure
What is the matter that you conveyed to the Brahmins in the night. Leaving out concern, to tell me that, why do you hesitate?
May you be healthy, hey son, Please proceed in contentment, leaving out all sorrow, with mother
Sloka:
The ever-so-truthful son of Sathyavathi (Vedavyasa), advised thus and departed – Those peace loving people (Pandavas) stayed put in “Shalihotra” woods living on wild food. During that time, in delight, night after night, Maruti (Bheema) pleasured Hidimbi and spoke with absolute joy amorously
Hey Child, come, Come – You the one with good habits and with attractive mane that flows and the one with a well made up fore-head
The most beautiful face of yours – by seeing that
Even the moon is ashamed (so round is your face)
Hey, the one who adorns the community of saints, the one who takes away grief, I bow to you
Your greatness – to say about that – no one would be able
The cruel Duryodhana – in order to burn us alive – made a wax house – and had us put up there with respect
Made a wax house – and had us put up there with respect
There we went and resided – thinking they were friends – There by the mercy of Vidura – we came here alive
There, by the mercy of Vidura – we came here alive
Is it not bad to leave them here and go to the woods?
It isa not easy to do this, please consider that, hey honey-voiced
