2.58.23

yudhiṣṭhira uvāca |
yo no netā yo yudhāṃ naḥ praṇetā yathā vajrī dānavaśatrurekaḥ |
tiryakprekṣī saṃhatabhrūrmahātmā siṃhaskandho yaśca sadātyamarṣī || 23 ||

"Yudhishthira said,--'O king, however, undeserving he may be of being made a stake, I will now play with thee by staking Bhimasena, that prince who is our leader, who is the foremost in fight,--even like the wielder of the thunder-bolt--the one enemy of the Danavas,--the high-souled one with leonine neck and arched eye-brows and eyes looking askance, who is incapable of putting up with an insult, who hath no equal in might in the world, who is the foremost of all wielders of the mace, and who grindeth all foes,'"

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
