Sanskrit: ये चापि नासन् व्यथिता मनुष्यस्तेषां करेभ्यः पतितं हि शस्रम्। भयाच संचुक्रुशुरस्वरैस्ते निमीलिताक्षा ददृसुः समन्ततः॥
English: Others who were not thus struck down were also so affected with fear that they lost hold of their weapons and some with half closed eyes looked fearfully towards Bhimasena uttering meaningless ejaculations.
Sanskrit: तं तत्र भीमं ददृशुः समन्ताद् दौःशासनं तद् रुधिरं पिबन्तम्। सर्वेऽपलायन्त भयाभिपन्ना न वै मनुष्योऽयमिति ब्रुवाणाः॥
English: Those men, who were at that time near Bhima and who saw him thus drink Dusasana's blood being overpowered with fear, fled on all directions saying to each other that he is no human being.
