Bhimasena and Shishupala

Bhima advances on the formidable Shishupala's kingdom, expecting a confrontation. Instead, the king of Chedi comes out to welcome him, smilingly offers his kingdom, and asks his purpose. What follows is not a battle, but a peaceful exchange and a long stay as a guest.

Hearing Shishupala's insults, Bhima erupts in fury, his body transforming with rage. He is about to leap at the Chedi king when Bhishma's powerful arm and commanding words hold him back, forcing the furious warrior to obey.
