MBh 6 155.1
संजय उवाच तं पातितं ततो दृष्ट्वा महाशालमिवोद्गतम्। प्रहृष्टमनसः सर्वे दद्दशुस्तत्र पाण्डवाः॥ उन्मत्तमिव मातङ्ग सिंहेन विनिपातितम्। दद्दशुर्हष्टरोमाण: सर्वे ते चापि सोमकाः॥
saṃjaya uvāca taṃ pātitaṃ tato dṛṣṭvā mahāśālamivodgatam| prahṛṣṭamanasaḥ sarve daddaśustatra pāṇḍavāḥ|| unmattamiva mātaṅga siṃhena vinipātitam| daddaśurhaṣṭaromāṇa: sarve te cāpi somakāḥ||
Sanjaya said Seeing Duryodhana struck down on Earth like a gigantic Shala uprooted by the storm, the Pandavas were filled with delight. The Somakas also saw, with their hair standing erect, the Kuru king felled upon the Earth, like an infuriate clephant felled by a lion.

ततो दुर्योधनं हत्वा भीमसेनः प्रतापवान्। पातितं कौरवेन्द्र तमुपगम्येदमब्रवीत्॥ गौगौरिति पुरा मन्द द्रौपदीमेकवाससम्। यत् सभायां हसन्नस्मांस्तदा वदसि दुर्मते॥ तस्यावहासस्य फलमद्य त्वं समवाप्नुहि। एवमुक्त्वा स वामेन पदा मौलिमुपास्पृशत्॥ शिरश्च राजसिंहस्य पादेन समलोडयत्।
tato duryodhanaṃ hatvā bhīmasenaḥ pratāpavān| pātitaṃ kauravendra tamupagamyedamabravīt|| gaugauriti purā manda draupadīmekavāsasam| yat sabhāyāṃ hasannasmāṃstadā vadasi durmate|| tasyāvahāsasya phalamadya tvaṃ samavāpnuhi| evamuktvā sa vāmena padā maulimupāspṛśat|| śiraśca rājasiṃhasya pādena samaloḍayat|
Having struck Duryodhana down the brave Bhimasena, approaching the Kuru chief, addressed him, saying-O wretch, formerly laughing at Draupadi who had no cloth in the midst of the assembly, you, O fool, called us Cows. Bear now the consequences of that insult. Saying so, he struck the head of his fallen foe, with his left foot. Indeed, he struck the head of that best of kings with his foot.

तथैवः क्रोधसंरक्तो भीमः परबलार्दनः॥ पुनरेवाब्रवीद् वाक्यं यत् तच्छृणु नराधिप येऽस्मान् पुरोपनृत्यन्त मूढा गौरिति गौरिति॥ तान् वयं प्रतिनृत्यामः पुनर्गौरिति गौरिति। नास्माकं निकृतिर्वह्नि क्षयूतं न वञ्चना। स्वबाहुबलमाश्रित्य प्रबाधामो वयं रिपून्॥ सोऽवाप्य वैरस्य परस्य पारं वृकोदरः प्राह शनैः प्रहस्या युधिष्ठिरं केशवसंजयांश्च धनंजयं माद्रवतीसुतौ च॥

With eyes reddened in wrath, Bhimascna, that grinder of hostile armies, once more said these words. Listen to thein, O king, we will now dance and call them Cows!-who formerly insulted us by calling us so. We have no deceipt, no fire, no match at dice, no deception! Depending upon the strength of our own arins we our resist and check foes!-Having brought those fierce hostilities to a close, Vrikodara once more slowly and laughingly said these words unto Yudhisthira and Keshava and the Shrinjayas and Dhananjaya and the two sons of Madri.

Those wicked sons of king Dhritarashtra who had called us Sessame seeds without kernel, have all been killed by us with their relatives and followers! It is a matter of no consequence wivether we go to heaven or hell!-Once more, uplifting the mace that was on his shoulders he struck with his left, foot the head of the king who was lying on Earth, and addressing the deceitful Duryodhana said,

तव पुत्रं तथा हत्वा कत्थमानं वृकोदरम्। नृत्यमानं च बहुशो धर्मराजोऽब्रवीदिदम्॥ गतोऽसि वैरस्यानृण्यं प्रतिज्ञा पूरिता त्वया। शुभेनाथाशुभेनैव कर्मणा विरमाधुना॥

After having stuck down your son, while Vrikodara was thus vaunting and dancing madly, king Yudhisthira said to him-You have wreaked your vengeance (on Duryodhana) and gained your ends by means fair or foul! Cease now, O Bhiima.

Bhimasena is a righteous man! People used to say this before of thee! Why then, O Bhimasena, do you insult the king in this way?' Saying this to Bhimasena, Yudhishthira, with voice suppressed with tears, and afflicted with sorrows approached Duryodhana, and said to him. 'O brother, you should not give way to anger nor grieve for yourself! Forsooth, you suffer the dreadful consequences of your own former acts!
