कदाचित् कश्चन याचकः युधिष्ठरं नमस्कृत्य शतं नाणकानि याचितवान् । 'श्वः दास्यामि' इत्युक्त्वा तं प्रेषितवान् युधिष्ठिरः । एतत् दृष्टवता स्मितहासेन भीमसेनेन विजयघण्टा वादिता । विजयस्य कारणं किम् इति यदा युधिष्ठिरः अपृच्छत् तदा भीमसेनः अवदत् 'श्वः दास्यामि इत्युक्तस्य अर्थः यत् श्वः पर्यन्तं भवान् निश्चयेन जीविष्यति इति । मृत्योः उपरि एव दिनपर्यन्तकः विजयः किं सामान्यः ?’ इति । युधिष्ठिरः भीमेन उक्तस्य तात्पर्यम् अवगत्य लज्जितः सन् गच्छन्तं तं याचकः पुनः आहूय तस्मै शतं नाणकानि दत्तवान् ।

One day, a beggar approached Yudhishthira, bowed to him, and requested a hundred coins. Yudhishthira told him, "I will give them tomorrow," and sent him away. Observing this, Bhima smiled and rang the victory bell. When Yudhishthira asked the reason for the celebration, Bhima replied, "By saying 'I will give tomorrow,' you are assuming with certainty that you will live until then. Is victory over death for a whole day such a small thing?" Realizing the deeper meaning behind Bhima’s words, Yudhishthira felt ashamed. He immediately called back the beggar and gave him the hundred coins without delay.
