yadyetadevamuktvā tu na kuryāṃ pṛthivīśvarāḥ |
pitāmahānāṃ sarveṣāṃ nāhaṃ gatimavāpnuyām || 45 ||

"And Bhima said,--Hear these words of mine, ye Kshatriyas of the world. Words such as these were never before uttered by other men, nor will anybody in the future ever utter them. Ye lords of earth, if having spoken these words I do not accomplish them hereafter, let me not obtain the region of my deceased ancestors. Tearing open in battle, by sheer force, the breast of this wretch, this wicked-minded scoundrel of the Bharata race, if I do not drink his life-blood, let me not obtain the region of my ancestors."

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