[Arjuna was so called because he was ‘white’ or ‘pure in actions’ ( पृथिव्यां (pṛthivyāṃ) चतुरंतायां वर्णोमे दुर्लभः समः । करोमि कर्म शुद्धं च तेन (caturaṃtāyāṃ varṇome durlabhaḥ samaḥ. karomi karma śuddhaṃ ca tena) मामर्जुनं विदुः (māmarjunaṃ viduḥ) ). He was taught the use of arms by Droṇa and was his favourite pupil. By his skill in arms he won Draupadī at her Svayaṃvara (see Draupadī). For an involuntary transgression he went into temporary exile and during that time he learnt the science of arms from Paraśurāma. He married Ulūpī, a Nāga Princess, by whom he had a son named Irāvat, and also Citrāṅgadā, daughter of the king of Maṇipura, who bore him a son named Babhruvāhana. During this exile he visited Dvārakā, and with the help and advice of Kṛṣṇa succeeded in marrying Subhadrā. By her he had a son named Abhimanyu. Afterwards he obtained the bow Gāṇḍīva from the god Agni whom he assisted in burning the Khāṇḍava forest. When Dharma, his eldest brother, lost the kingdom by gambling, and the five brothers went into exile, he went to the Himālayas to propitiate the gods and to obtain from them celestial weapons for use in the contemplated war against the Kauravas. There he fought with Śiva who appeared in the disguise of a Kirāta; but when he discovered the true character of his adversary he worshipped him and Śiva gave him the Pāśupatāstra. Indra, Varuṇa, Yama and Kubera also presented him with their own weapons. In the 13th year of their exile, the Pāṇḍavas entered the service of the King of Virāṭa and he had to act the part of a cunuch, and music and dancing master. In the great war with the Kauravas Arjuna took a very distinguished part. He secured the assistance of Kṛṣṇa who acted as his charioteer and related to him the Bhagavadgītā when on the first day of the battle he hesitated to bend his bow against his own kinsmen. In the course of the great struggle he slew or vanquished several redoubtable warriors on the side of the ( pb ) Kauravas, such as Jayadratha, Bhīṣma, Karṇa &c. After Yudhiṣṭhira had been installed sovereign of Hastināpura, he resolved to perform the Aśvamedha sacrifice, and a horse was let loose with Arjuna as its guardian. Arjuna followed it through many cities and countries and fought with many kings. At the city of Maṇipura he had to fight with his own son Babhruvāhana and was killed; but he was restored to life by a charm supplied by his wife Ulūpī. He traversed the whole of Bharata khaṇḍa and returned to Hastināpura, loaded with spoils and tributes, and the great horse-sacrifice was then duly performed. He was afterwards called by Kṛṣṇa to Dvārakā amid the intestine struggles of the Yādavas and there he performed the funeral ceremonies of Vasudeva and Kṛṣṇa. Soon after this the five Pāṇḍavas repaired to heaven having installed Parīkṣit-the only surviving son of Abhimanyu-on the throne of Hastināpura. Arjuna was the bravest of the Pāṇḍavas, high-minded, generous, upright, handsome and the most prominent figure of all his brothers. He has several appellations, such as Pārtha, Guḍākeśa, Savyasācī, Dhanaṃjaya, Phālguna, Kirīṭin, Jiṣṇu, Śvetavāhana, Gāṇḍīvin &c. &c.] - 1.

After Pāṇḍu had been cursed, that he should have no progeny, he caused Dharma to procreate Yudhiṣṭhira in Kuntī, then Vāyu to procreate Bhīmasena, and then Indra to procreate Arjuna.— § 190 d (Pāṇḍavotp.): I, 123 : In order to propitiate Indra (before summoning him), Pāṇḍu, took counsel with the maharṣis, and caused Kuntī to observe an auspicious vow for a full year, while he himself began to stand upon one leg, etc. After the birth of A. a bodyless voice said that he should subjugate the Madras, the Kurus, the Somakas, the Cedis, Kāśis, and Karūṣas, and satiate Havyavāhana (Fire) in the Khāṇḍava wood with the fat of all beings, and, with his brothers, perform three sacrifices; in battle he would gratify Śaṅkara, and receive from him the Pāśupata weapon, and, at the command of Indra, slay the Nivātakavacas, and acquire all sorts of celestial weapons: 4791, 4795.—§ 191: On hearing this voice, the ascetics dwelling on Śataśṛṅga became ex- ceedingly glad. There was heard the sound of dundubhis, and flowers were showered down. The various tribes of celestials ( devagaṇāḥ ), etc. (α), came there (enumeration, among others, of Devagandharvas, Apsarases, the twelve Ādityas, the Rudras, the Vainateyas ). Then the Aśvins procreated the twins Nakula and Sahadeva in Mādrī.— § 192 (Pāṇḍavotp.): I, 124, 4854 (the third son of Kuntī). Having been procreated on Śataśṛṅga in behalf of Pāṇḍu by the gods Dharma (Yudhiṣṭhira), Vāyu (Bhīmasena), Indra (Arjuna; the mother of these three was Kuntī), and the Aśvins (Nakula and Sahadeva, who were twins and sons of Mādrī) in Pāṇḍu's wives Kuntī and Mādrī, the five Pāṇḍavas after the death of Pāṇḍu were brought to Hāstinapura and educated by Droṇa, under the supervision of Bhīṣma. Their cousins (the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra) hated them, especially Duryodhana, who tried to murder Bhīmasena and later on all the Pāṇḍavas and Kuntī (Mādrī had burnt herself with the corpse of Pāṇḍu), and Karṇa hated Arjuna from jealousy.—§ 203 b (cf. Droṇa): I, 132 : One day Droṇa asked his pupils to promise to accomplish what he had on his heart; only Arjuna promised it. Arjuna became the foremost of all his fellow-pupils. Droṇa gave every one of his pupils a narrow-mouthed vessel ( kamaṇḍalu ) for fetching water, in order that much time might be spent in filling it, but to Aśvatthāman he gave a broad-mouthed vessel ( kumbha ), and in the intervals so gained he used to instruct his son in several superior methods; but Arjuna filled the vessel by means of the Vāruṇa weapon, and used Page069-a+ 63 to come at the same time as Aśvatthāman. Droṇa told the cook never to give Arjuna his food in the dark, but not to tell him that it was he ( Droṇa ) that had ordered this. One day a wind put the lamp out when Arjuna was taking his food; but his hand went up to his mouth from habit. His attention being thus called to the force of habit, Arjuna practised with his bow in the night, and Droṇa promised him that there should not be a bowman equal to him in the world. He taught him also to fight on horseback, etc., with the mace, etc.: 5217, 5218, 5224, 5225, 5230, 5232, 5233, 5238.—§ 204 (Ekalavya): I, 132, 5252 (Droṇa took from Ekalavya as his fee the thumb of his right hand in order that he might not surpass Arjuna).—§ 205 e (cf. Droṇa): I, 132, 5273, 5274: Arjuna excelled everyone in every respect, and alone became an atiratha (“a charioteer capable of fighting at one time with 60,000 foes,” PCR.).—§ 206 (Droṇa): I, 132 f, 5293, 5296. One day Droṇa caused an artificial bird to be placed on the top of a tree, and first repeatedly asked Yudhiṣṭhira to tell what he did see, while aiming at the bird. He answered that he saw the tree, Droṇa, his brothers, and the bird. Droṇa reproachfully told him to stand apart. Then Droṇa repeated the experiment with his other pupils, with the same result (ch. 132 ). At last Arjuna's turn came; he said first that he saw only the vulture, and then that he saw only its head, and, when Droṇa gave the order, he struck off its head with his shaft (I, 133 ).—§ 207 (do.): I, 133 : Arjuna rescued the life of Droṇa by shooting with five arrows an alligator in the Gaṅgā that had seized his thigh. Droṇa gave him the weapon Brahmaśiras on the condition that he should not use it against a human foe, as it might burn the whole universe. —§ 208 b (cf. Astradarśana): I, 135 : Then Arjuna appeared, while Kuntī wept with joy, and Dhṛtarāṣṭra learned from Vidura who it was. By the Āgneya weapon Arjuna created fire, by the Vāruṇa water, by the Vāyavya air, by the Pārjanya clouds; by means of the Pārvata a mountain came into being (v. 5366, read with V. “abhavadgiriḥ” or with B. “asṛjadgirīn” ), and by the Antardhāna weapon it again disappeared, etc.; he at one time shot five shafts together into the mouth of a moving iron boar, and discharged twenty-one arrows into the hollow of a cow's horn hung up in a rope and swaying to and fro (v. 5370, instead of “bale” read with B. and V. “cale” ).—§ 208 (Astradarśana): I, 137, 5440, 5442: At the show of arms Karṇa in vain challenged Arjuna.—§ 209 (Drupadaśāsana): I, 138, 5484, 5492, 5499, 5500, 5501. Arjuna helped Droṇa to subjugate Drupada, which favour Droṇa had asked as his fee.— § 210 c (cf. Sambhavaparvan): I, 139 : Droṇa taught Arjuna Brahmaśiras (that he had learnt from Agniveśa, the disciple of Agastya ), on the condition that he should not hurl it at any human being (cf. § 207), and obtained from him as his fee the promise that he would fight with him [in the great battle]. Then Arjuna went away to the northern region.—§ 211 (Sambhavap.): I, 139, 5537, 5538. Headed by Arjuna, the Pāṇḍavas in war slew Sauvīra, who had performed a three years' sacrifice at the inroad of the Gandharvas. The Yavana king, whom even Pāṇḍu had failed to subject, was subdued by Arjuna; as was also the Sauvīra Vitula (B. Vipula ), who had always shown a dis- regard for the Kurus; and the Sauvīra Sumitra, called Dattāmitra (LIA. i, pp. 656/804, n. 2); assisted by Bhīma, Arjuna with only a single chariot subjugated all the kings of the east ( prācyāḥ ) backed by 10,000 chariots; and in the Page069-b+ 63 same way the south. Dhṛtarāṣṭra's sentiments towards the Pāṇḍavas suddenly became poisoned, and from anxiety he could not sleep (I, 139 ).—§ 213 (Jatugṛhap.): I, 151, 5911 (has escaped from the lac house).—§ 214 (Hiḍimbav.): I, 154, 6019, (6027), (6034), 6039 ( A. offered to assist Bhīmasena against Hiḍimba, and exhorted him to kill him without delay; then he caused the Pāṇḍavas to proceed to a town not far off); 156, 6096.—§ 217 (Caitrarathap.): I, 166, 6346 (a brahman related how Bhīṣma prevailed upon Droṇa to teach the princes, etc.; both Arjuna and the others promised to do whatever he might ask as his fee, etc.).— § 219 (do.): I, 168, 6419 (the brothers set out for the town of Drupada).—§ 221 (do.): I, 170, (6451), (6462), (6472), 6474, (6493), 6499 (while the Pāṇḍavas were wandering from Ekacakrā to the town of the Pāñcālas, Arjuna walking before them torch in hand, the Gandharva king Citraratha opposed them at the Gaṅgā, but was vanquished by Arjuna, whom he then gave the Gandharvic māyā called Cākṣuṣī, and on whom and each of his brothers he bestowed 100 Gandharva horses; he gave them the counsel to select a fit purohita; Arjuna in return gave him the Āgneya weapon).— § 222 (Tapatyup.): I, 171, (6516) (as Citraratha had called A.

Sthūlā°), Indrajāla, Saura, Āgneya, and Saumya. At last Citrasena rushed at Arjuna, armed with a mace of iron; when Arjuna had cut that mace into seven pieces with his arrows, Citrasena, by means of his science, concealed himself from the view of Arjuna, and thus continued to fight with him; but Arjuna destroyed his power of concealing himself by shooting at him with his celestial arms, guided by the sound ( śabdavedhaṃ samāśritya ).

Arjuna also said that Duryodhana thought of imprisoning Kṛṣṇa and seeks to create a sudden disunion between Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, and relates terrific omens; “I will hurl the Sthūṇā- karṇa, Pāśupata, and Brāhma weapons, and all those that Śakra gave me.” Bhīṣma said that Nara and Nārāyaṇa are Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa; Arjuna with an arrow severed in battle the head of the Asura Jambha, etc., and Bhīṣma rebuked Karṇa, who had seen his brother in the city of Virāṭa slain by Arjuna; Sañjaya mentioned Arjuna's burning of the Khāṇḍava forest.

The banner in all directions both perpendicularly and laterally covered one yojana, and even if trees stood in its way its course could not be impeded; it was ever varying like Śakra's bow (i.e. the rainbow). And to that chariot were yoked 100 white celestial steeds with the speed of the winds, given by Citraratha; neither on earth, nor in the sky, nor in heaven, their course could be impeded; a boon had been granted that their number would always remain full, however often they might be slain. —Arjuna had got Karṇa, Jayadratha, etc., assigned as his share in the combat. Arjuna was protected by the celestials; Sañjaya had seen two straight lines on his foot soles; Agni would help him as in Khāṇḍava; he took up 500 arrows at a time, and Kṛṣṇa protected him; on a single chariot Arjuna conquered the whole earth, etc.; he had said that Bhīṣma, etc., were all on the eve of death, if they did not give up to Yudhiṣṭhira his own share of the kingdom.—§ 562 (Bhagavadyānap.): V, 72—95: 74, 2739; 77, 2799; 78, (2802); 79, 2838; 81, 2865; 82, 2907, 2916; 83, 2949; 90, 3156, 3209, 3210: A. and Yudhiṣṭhira were averse from war, and A. told Kṛṣṇa to exert himself sincerely to bring about peace; if, however, Duryodhana would not give them what they demanded, he would annihilate the Kṣattriya race. During Kṛṣṇa's embassy Kuntī compared A. to Arjuna Kārtavīrya, and mentioned the invisible voices in the night of Arjuna's birth.—§ 563 (Dambhodbhavop.): V, 96, 3494, 3496 (identified with Nara).—§ 567 (Bhagavadyānap.): V, 124—132: 124, 4172, 4173, 4178, 4180; 125, 4199, 4201; 126, 4229; 131, 4425: Kṛṣṇa mentioned Arjuna's exploits before Duryodhana, and said that Bhīṣma, etc., could not contend with Bhīma and A.—§ 569 (do.): V, 137, 4644, 4663; 138, 4680; 140, 4747; 144, 4887; 145, 4924, Page075-a+ 63 4925, 4926; 146, 4949, 4950, 4951: Kuntī asked Kṛṣṇa to remind A. of the voice heard at his birth, and tell him always to tread in the path pointed out by Draupadī; that Bhīma and Arjuna, like two Yamas, were capable of slaying the very gods, etc. Bhīṣma and Droṇa reminded Duryodhana of the exploits of A.; Droṇa said that his affection for A. was greater than for Aśvatthāman. Duryodhana had chosen Karṇa as the antagonist of Arjuna. Kṛṣṇa described Arjuna's banner, made by Bhaumana by means of celestial illusion; his Aindra, Āgneya, and Māruta weapons, etc. Karṇa promised Kuntī, that except Arjuna, her other sons should not be slain by him.—§ 570 (Sainyaniryānap.): V, 151—159 : 153, 5197; 154, 5232; 157, 5318, 5328: At the commence- ment of the battle Anādhṛṣṭi, etc. (ζ), marched surrounding Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, all of them blowing their conchs on entering Kurukṣetra. As Yudhiṣṭhira complained that he had to slay his preceptors, etc., A. reminded him of what Kuntī and Vidura had said through Kṛṣṇa. Bhīṣma said that he did not know of any warrior upon earth who was equal to him, except Arjuna; but Arjuna would never openly fight with him. Karṇa wanted to fight with Arjuna, but not before Bhīṣma was slain. Arjuna “of curly hair” was made the leader of all the leaders of the Pāṇḍava army, and Kṛṣṇa the leader of Arjuna and the driver of his steeds. Bhīṣmaka's son Rukmin offered Arjuna his assistance if he was afraid; A., mentioning his exploits, and that he had paid his homage to Rudra, etc. (ν), for battle's sake, would not say he was afraid.—§ 571 (Ulūkadūt.): V, 160—164: 160, 5460, 5513; 161, 5558; 162, 5578, 5586, 5640; 163, 5651, 5695, 5697; 164, 5704, 5706: Ulūka had to state before A. that among the Kuru troops were the Kāmbojas, etc. (γ); “I know that thy Gāṇḍīva is full 6 cubits long”; Ulūka repeated the statement to the Pāṇḍavas, etc., and once more repeated his words to A.; A. said that Duryodhana's contrivance of seeking cover behind Bhīṣma would be of no avail, as he would himself slay Bhīṣma.—§ 572 (Rathātirathas.): V, 165—172: 172, 5935.—§ 573 (Ambop.): V, 173—196: 185, 7308; 193, 7560; 194, 7587: “ A. had been ordained by Svayambhū to slay Bhīṣma.” Karṇa having said that he could annihilate Bhīma and Arjuna in the course of five nights, Bhīṣma ridiculed him, saying that he would think otherwise when he had encountered Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa; to Yudhiṣṭhira Arjuna said that with Kṛṣṇa as his ally he might exterminate the three worlds with the gods, etc., in the twinkling of an eye, etc. In the array of Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīma and Arjuna were in the second division, then, with Kṛṣṇa, in the middle division together with Virāṭa, etc.—§ 576 (Bhagavadg.): VI, 13—42 : 19, 713, (714), 723; 20, 754, 759; 21, 761, 765; 22, 785; 23, 793, 795, (796), 813; 25, 833, 878; 26, 880, 923, (932); 27, (951), 957, (986); 28, (997), 998, 1002, 1030; 29, 1036; 30, 1080, 1096, (1097), (1101), 1110; 31, 1127, 1137; 32, (1142), 1157, 1168; 34, (1216), 1236, 1243, 1246; 35, (1247), 1293, 1296, (1297), 1300; 36, (1302); 37, (1322); 38, (1375); 41, (1427); 42, (1455), 1463, 1515, (1527), 1530: Yudhiṣṭhira told Arjuna to array the troops in a needle-mouthed ( śucīmukha ) array in conformity with the words of M.-ṛ. Bṛhaspati. Arjuna said that he would make a vajra -array, which was designed by Indra. Śikhaṇḍin was protected by A. Yudhiṣṭhira sorrowfully addressed Arjuna, who consoled him, mentioning his truthful— ness, righteousness, etc. At Kṛṣṇa's instance Arjuna recited a hymn to Dūrgā, who appeared and gave him assurance of victory. Arjuna asked Kṛṣṇa to place his chariot between the Page075-b+ 63 two armies, so that he might see who had assembled to fight. Beholding his relatives, etc., Arjuna was filled with compassion and overcome with despondency, and refused to fight. Kṛṣṇa appeals to Arjuna to shake off his despondency, but in vain. Kṛṣṇa then explained to Arjuna the nature and the attributes of the soul, and the folly of grieving for the dead, and exhorted him to fulfil the duties of his caste by fighting like a man, and to concern himself with work for work's sake and not for the sake of its results, etc. (Bhagavadgītā). Arjuna praised Kṛṣṇa; his delusion was destroyed, and he once more seized the Gāṇḍīva.—§ 577 (Bhīṣmav.): VI, 43, (1543), 1560: Beholding A. again seizing the Gāṇḍīva, the Pāṇḍavas and Somakas were filled with joy.—§ 578 (do.), VI, 44—51 : THE FIRST DAY'S ENCOUNTER: 45, 1678; 49, 1994, 1998, 2017; 50, 2072: Bhīṣma attacked Arjuna; Abhimanyu was regarded equal to Arjuna; placing himself in front of Śaṅkha, A. attacked Bhīṣma; Śaṅkha mounted Arjuna's chariot; Bhīṣma abandoned Arjuna, and attacked Drupada. The Pāṇḍavas were routed, the sun set, and the Pāṇḍavas with- drew their forces. Arjuna was indifferent; Kṛṣṇa consoled Yudhiṣṭhira, who recommended the array called Krauñcāruṇa. When morning dawned, Dhṛṣṭadyumna placed Arjuna in the van of the army; (§ 578 e, VI, 50 ) A.'s standard was created at Indra's command by the celestial artificer. A. blows the Devadatta.—§ 579 (do.), VI, 52—55 : SECOND DAY: 52, 2128, 2132, 2142, 2144, 2163, 2167, 2168, 2172, 2189; 55, 2383, 2391, 2393: Bhīṣma shot on A., etc. (α); A. told Kṛṣṇa to drive his chariot before Bhīṣma; only Bhīṣma, Droṇa, and Karṇa were able to encounter Arjuna; encounter between Bhīṣma and A., who was surrounded by Sātyaki, etc.; the Kurus were routed; A. and Kṛṣṇa blew their conchs.— § 580 (do.), VI, 56—59 : THIRD DAY: 58, 2487; 59, 2563, 2586, 2588, 2621, 2639, 2646: Arjuna and Dhṛṣṭadyumna formed an array in the shape of the half-moon, with Arjuna on the left wing; Arjuna fought with the Kauravas, who could not be defeated, as they were protected by Droṇa; and the Pāṇḍavas could not be defeated as they were protected by Arjuna and Bhīma; at last Bhīṣma, etc. (ι), broke the ranks of the Pāṇḍavas. D., Dā., G., Pś., U., and Rā. eulogized Arjuna. Arjuna routed the Kaurava army, and their flight could not be checked by Bhīṣma and Droṇa, but was checked by Duryodhana. Kṛṣṇa told Arjuna to fight Bhīṣma; he and Arjuna were both wounded by Bhīṣma, and the Pāṇḍava army was routed; Bhīṣma ordered Droṇa, etc. (μ), to attack Arjuna; the grandson of Śini (i.e. Sātyaki = Yuyudhāna) came to Arjuna's assistance. Kṛṣṇa jumped down from the chariot with his discus Sudarśana in his hand, and rushed towards Bhīṣma, but was held back by Arjuna; then Duryodhana, etc. (ν), attacked Arjuna, who invoked the Māhendra weapon and checked the Kaurava host; A. then produced a river of blood, with Rākṣasa on its banks. At sunset the Kurus (Bhīṣma, etc.) withdrew their forces; Arjuna did the same. There was a great uproar among the Kurus: “the Sauvīras (π) have all been slain by Arjuna, and he has vanquished Śrutāyus, etc. (ρ).”—§ 581 (do.), VI, 60—68 : FOURTH DAY: 60, 2656, 2673; 61, 2697: Bhīṣma, Droṇa, etc., attacked Arjuna. Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa as incarnations of the old ṛṣis Nara and Nārāyaṇa.—§ 582 (do.), VI, 69—74 : FIFTH DAY: Bhīṣma proceeded in a Makara-array, the Pāṇḍavas in a Śyena-array; Arjuna attacked Bhīṣma; Duryodhana protected Bhīṣma, who was attacked by the Pāṇḍavas headed by Arjuna. (§ 582 b, VI, 71 ): A.'s standard bore the device of a lion's tail and looked like Page076-a+ 63 a blazing mountain in the welkin…of celestial workmanship…with various hues; looking like a rising comet it could not be obstructed by trees. The Kurus were afraid and seemed to melt away. Arjuna encountered Droṇa (ζ). Duryodhana urged 25,000 to slay Arjuna, who, however, slew them all. The Matsyas and Kekayas surrounded Arjuna and Abhimanyu. At sunset both parties withdrew their troops.—§ 583 (do.), VI, 75—80 : SIXTH DAY: 75, 3303, 3310: The next day the Pāṇḍavas were arranged in the Makara-array, headed by Drupada and Arjuna.

When the Kuru army had been routed by Arjuna, and Bhīṣma had proceeded against the chariot of Arjuna, Duryodhana exhorted the kings to protect Bhīṣma. Fighting with Alambuṣa, Sātyaki employed the Aindra weapon which he had obtained from Arjuna, and destroyed the productions of Alambuṣa's illusive force. Arjuna caused Kṛṣṇa to drive the chariot towards Bhīṣma; A. fought with Suśarman, and slew many. The Trigarta king and thirty-two others attacked Arjuna, who slew sixty of them and then hastened to slay Bhīṣma. The Trigarta king attacking Arjuna, Śikhaṇḍin, etc., came to his aid. Arjuna shot at them with the Gāṇḍīva. Duryodhana and Jayadratha, etc., came in order to protect Bhīṣma against Arjuna; A. fought against many foes. At sunset Arjuna (having vanquished Suśarman, etc.), etc., proceeded to their tents.—§ 585 (do.), VI, 87—98 : EIGHTH DAY: 89, 3949, 3965; 90, 3977, 3979, 3981, 3983, 3986, 4022, 4040, 4048, 4052; 95, 4243, 4322; 96, 4358; 98, 4476, 4495: Dhṛṣṭadyumna formed a Śṛṅgāṭaka- array: Bhīmasena and Sātyaki, etc., in the wings, next to them Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa, etc. A., etc. (ξ), rushed against all the kings under the command of Duryodhana with horses of the Kāmboja, etc. (ρ), breed. Arjuna's son Irāvat ( b ) attacked the Kauravas, but was slain by the Rākṣasa, Ṛṣyaśṛṅga's son [Alambuṣa]. Arjuna, etc., slew many; he complained of Irāvat's death before Kṛṣṇa; he fought Bhīṣma, etc. (ηη). When dark night set in, both parties withdrew their armies. “Yudhāmanyu protects Arjuna's left wheel, Uttamaujas his right wheel, and Arjuna protects Śikhaṇḍin”; A. told Dhṛṣṭadyumna to place Śikhaṇḍin before Bhīṣma; he would himself be his protector.—§ 586 (do.), VI, 99—107 : NINTH DAY: 101, 4589, 4597, 4622, 4642; 102, 4650, 4655; 104, 4729; 106, 4848, 4871; 107, 4912, 4924, 4968, 4976, (4989): A. fought Bhīṣma, Kṛpa, and Droṇa; then the Trigarta king and his son; A. employed the Vāyavya weapon; the Trigarta division turned their backs; Duryodhana, etc. (ι), surrounded A. A. slew all the followers of Suśarman; fought Duryodhana. Kṛṣṇa urged Arjuna to slay Bhīṣma; Kṛṣṇa left the chariot and rushed at Bhīṣma, whip in hand, but was brought back by Arjuna. When the sun set, both parties withdrew their forces. Kṛṣṇa said that Arjuna, etc. (χ), were invincible; they went to Bhīṣma himself in order to ask him about the means of killing him; Bhīṣma advised A. to fight with him, placing Śikhaṇḍin before him; A. grieved at the prospect of killing Bhīṣma, but was reminded by Kṛṣṇa of his vow to Page076-b+ 63 slay Bhīṣma. The Pāṇḍavas and Kṛṣṇa went away with rejoicing hearts.—§ 587 (do.), VI, 108—120 : TENTH DAY: 108, 5011; 110, 5094, 5114, 5115, 5125, 5139; 111, 5195; 112, 5213, 5218; 113, 5284, 5287, 5289, 5290; 114, 5298, 5308, 5324; 115, 5340, 5341; 116, 5428, 5429, 5430, 5433, 5434, 5435; 117, 5455, 5459, 5465, 5470, 5472; 119, 5627, 5632, 5642: The Pāṇḍavas went out for battle, placing Śikhaṇḍin in their van; Bhīmasena and Arjuna became the protectors of his wheels, etc.; headed by Arjuna, they proceeded against Bhīṣma; Arjuna urged Śikhaṇḍin to slay Bhīṣma, while he himself would check Droṇa, etc. (δ); A. defeated the Kuru army; Duryodhana complained of A. before Bhīṣma, etc. Urged by A., Śikhaṇḍin, etc., attacked Bhīṣma; Duḥśāsana attacked Arjuna and Śikhaṇḍin; A. could not advance further than to the chariot of Duḥśāsana; A. compelled Duḥśāsana to turn back, and then crushed the Kuru troops; Duḥśāsana again resisted him; Arjuna and Śikhaṇḍin approached Bhīma (for aid); Duryodhana urged the Trigarta king Suśarman to slay Arjuna and Bhīmasena; A. fought Śalya, etc. (κ); Droṇa, etc., fought Arjuna and Bhīmasena; so did Bhīṣma; Droṇa, etc., (ξ), fought the Pārthas, especially Arjuna, etc. (ο); the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra fought with Śikhaṇḍin and A.; A. fought with Bhīṣma and Bhagadatta, and urged Śikhaṇḍin to slay Bhīṣma; the Kurus attacked Arjuna; no chariot-warrior ventured to approach Bhīṣma except Arjuna and Śikhaṇḍin; Bhīṣma did not defend himself against Śikhaṇḍin, whom Arjuna urged quickly to slay Bhīṣma; Duḥśāsana fought with Arjuna and all the Pārthas, but was vanquished by A.; the Videhas, etc. (ρ), attacked Arjuna, who defeated them all by means of celestial weapons; then A. fought with Duḥśāsana, etc., Bhīṣma, etc.; Kṛṣṇa urged A. to slay Bhīṣma; the Pāñcāla king Dhṛṣṭaketu, etc. (υ), were afflicted by Bhīṣma and rescued by Arjuna; protected by Arjuna, Śikhaṇḍin rushed against Bhīṣma; A. slew all Bhīṣma's followers, and then rushed at him himself; Droṇa, etc. (employing celestial weapons), fought with A.; Bhīṣma said to Duḥśāsana that A. was invincible, and that he himself was not able to be vanquished by D., Dā., and Rā.; Dhṛtarāṣṭra's sons surrounded Bhīṣma, but fled before Arjuna. Bhīṣma fell down from his chariot a little before sunset, but put off his death, as the sun was in the southern solstice; both parties desisted from battle; as Bhīṣma's head hung down he asked for a pillow; Arjuna supported his head with three arrows shot from the Gāṇḍīva and consecrated by means of mantras, at which Bhīma was highly gratified.—§ 588 (do.), VI, 121—122 : ELEVENTH DAY: 121, 5776, 5780, 5781: The next morning, as Bhīṣma asked for water, Arjuna mounted his chariot and from the Gāṇḍīva shot an arrow consecrated with mantras and identified with the Pārjanya weapon, therewith piercing the earth, and there arose a jet of pure and cold water; Bhīṣma praised Arjuna: “even Nārada spoke of thee as an ancient ṛṣi…”; he said to Duryodhana that the weapons appertaining to Agni, etc., were known only to Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa. Bhīṣma tried to win over Karṇa to the side of his uterine brothers, but he said that he would fight Arjuna, etc., though protected by Kṛṣṇa.—§ 589 (Droṇābhiṣ.), VII, 1—11: 2, 67, 82; 3, 110; 6, 164; 7, 197; 8, 226; 10, 327; 11, 419, 422: Karṇa waited upon Bhīṣma, mentioning the danger menacing the Kurus from Arjuna with the Gāṇḍīva, etc., Arjuna's battle with Śiva, etc. Yudhiṣṭhira disposed his troops in the form of a krauñca (crane), with Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna at the head. The Pāṇḍavas Page077-a+ 63 and Sṛñjaya were defeated by Droṇa; Yudhiṣṭhira asked A. to check Droṇa. Dhṛtarāṣṭra regretted that Duryodhana did not know Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna.—§ 590 (do.), VII, 12—16 : ELEVENTH DAY (Sañjaya begins his narrative in detail): 12, 453; 13, (472): Droṇa promised to seize Yudhiṣṭhira, if he was not protected by Arjuna (with his weapons received from Indra and Rudra, etc.); Arjuna must therefore be with- drawn from Yudhiṣṭhira. Yudhiṣṭhira learnt through his spies that Droṇa had promised to seize him; A. consoled him. A fierce battle commenced; protected by Droṇa and Arjuna, both hosts seemed to stand inactive. In order to rescue Yudhiṣṭhira, A. attacked Droṇa's division. When the sun set, both parties withdrew their troops. The Pāṇḍavas, etc., praised Arjuna.—§ 591 (Saṃśaptakavadhap.), VII, 17, 680, 688, 709: Droṇa confessed his inability of seizing Yudhiṣṭhira if Arjuna were by; the Trigarta king, saying that Arjuna had always injured them, said that they would take an oath that either Arjuna or the Trigartas should be slain. Then they summoned Arjuna to the southern part of the field. Arjuna told Satyajit to guard Yudhiṣṭhira, and went out against the Trigartas.—§ 592 (do.), VII, 18—32 : TWELFTH DAY: 18, 728, 733, 734, 736, 737; 19, 753, 756, 763, 764, 765, 770, 773; 23, 1017; 26, 1130; 27, 1208, 1212, 1219; 28, 1232, 1234, 1235, 1241; 29, 1265, 1266, 1274; 30, 1303, 1306, 1312, 1319, 1321, 1324, 1325, 1326, 1328, 1329, 1336, 1339; 32, 1418, 1423, 1426, 1428, 1443: The Saṃśaptakas rejoiced at the prospect of fighting with A., who terrified them with the sound of Devadatta, and attacked them; Subāhu and Suśarman, etc. (α), fought with A.; they fled to Duryodhana, but, urged by the Trigarta king, they once more returned to the field with the Nārāyaṇa cowherds. Kṛṣṇa conveyed Arjuna to the Saṃśaptakas. The Nārāyaṇas fought with Arjuna. A. blew the Devadatta and employed the Tvāṣṭra weapon, that confounded the foes, who began to strike each other; Arjuna crossed the Lalitthas, etc. (β), and used the Vāyavya weapon to frustrate the downpour of arrows shot by his foes, and Vāyu bore away crowds of Saṃśaptakas with their steeds, etc. Yudhiṣṭhira disposed his troops in the form of a semicircle. Yudhiṣṭhira fled. Arjuna's son Śrutakīrti fought with the son of Duḥśāsana. A., etc. (υ), fought with Bhagadatta (upon his elephant). Urged by Arjuna, Kṛṣṇa began to proceed against Bhagadatta; the Saṃśaptakas (14,000, including 10,000 Gopālāḥ or Nārāyaṇāḥ) challenged Arjuna, and he encountered them, discharged the Brāhma weapon, defeated and slew them, and then turned against Bhagadatta; but as Suśarman with his brothers followed him from behind, he again attacked Suśarman, and then again Bhagadatta; Bhagadatta, at last, consecrated his hook with mantras so as to become the Vaiṣṇava weapon; Kṛṣṇa received it on his breast, and it became a garland. As A. taxed Kṛṣṇa for fighting himself, Kṛṣṇa related the history of the Vaiṣṇavāstra ( c ); “the great Asura has now been divested of that supreme weapon; now slay Bhagadatta, that enemy of the gods, just as I formerly slew the Asura Naraka for the good of the worlds”; A. then slew both Bhagadatta and the elephant. Then A. slew the two brothers Vṛṣa and Acala. Dhṛtarāṣṭra's sons attacked Arjuna, and Śakuni employed magics in order to confound him and Kṛṣṇa: producing clubs, etc., and asses, etc., which A. slew with celestial weapons; then darkness, whence harsh voices were heard; this A. dispelled with the weapon Jyotiṣka; then waves of water, which were dried up with the Āditya weapon; Śakuni fled. A. slaughtered Page077-b+ 63 the Kuru army: some followed Droṇa, others Duryodhana; a fierce battle took place on the southern side between Arjuna and the Kurus. The Pāṇḍavas regretted that Arjuna was engaged on the southern part of the field in slaughtering the Saṃśaptakas and the Nārāyaṇa force. Having slain the Saṃśaptakas, Arjuna fought with Droṇa, etc., employing the Āgneya weapon; A. slew three of Karṇa's brothers (γγ). At sunset the armies retired.—§ 593 (Abhimanyuvadhap.), VII, 33—51 : THIRTEENTH DAY: 33, 1456, 1466, 1468; 35, 1520, 1521; 36, 1545; 40, 1661; 45, 1824; 51, 1989, 1991: Being overcome by A., and Droṇa having failed to seize Yudhiṣṭhira, the Kurus were regarded as defeated; they heard everybody praise A. and Kṛṣṇa. Next morning Duryodhana blamed Droṇa for not having seized Yudhiṣṭhira; Droṇa said that nobody could defeat the force protected by Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa, save Mahādeva. The Saṃśaptakas challenged Arjuna and took him away to the southern side of the field. The Pāṇḍavas were headed by Bhīmasena. Abhimanyu defeated all the warriors that encountered him with the weapons he had received from Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa. At last Abhimanyu was slain by Duḥśāsana's son, after Jayadratha had checked those who tried to follow Abhimanyu.—§ 595 (do.), VII, 71, 2465: Vyāsa consoled Yudhiṣṭhira, who became free from grief; but “what shall we say to Arjuna?” —§ 596 (Pratijñāp.), VII, 72—81: 72, 2485, 2537, 2562, 2563; 73, 2581, 2610; 74, 2636, 2637; 75, 2666, 2667, 2672; 76, (2679), 2704; 77, 2716; 78, 2774; 79, 2775, 2787, 2790, 2791, 2795, 2799, 2801, 2803, 2808; 80, 2842, 2868, 2872, (2874), 2885; 81, 2889, 2895, 2905, 2909: In the evening Arjuna, after having slain large numbers of Saṃśaptakas, proceeded towards his tent and told Kṛṣṇa that his heart was afflicted; he saw indications of disaster; Abhimanyu did not come out with smiles to receive him, etc. He remembered that Droṇa had this day formed the circular array, which none save Abhimanyu could break; but he had not taught him how to come out of it after having pierced it; he had heard the leonine shouts of the Dhārtarāṣṭras, and Kṛṣṇa had heard Yuyutsu censuring them for having slain a child instead of Arjuna, and then Yuyutsu had cast up his weapons afflicted with rage and grief. Kṛṣṇa consoled Arjuna, talking about the kṣattriya duties and heaven. None save Kṛṣṇa and Yudhiṣṭhira (who were always acceptable to him) could address Arjuna. Yudhiṣṭhira addressed him and told (VII, 72 ) him the particulars of Abhimanyu's heroism and fall. Arjuna vowed to slay Jayadratha before the sun set the following day (his oath); even as to As., D., men, birds, snakes, P., wanderers of the night, B.-ṛ., and D.-ṛ., etc., he said that they would not succeed in protecting him, even if he entered Rasātala, or ascended the firmament, or repaired to the city of the gods ( Devapuraṃ ) or the city of Diti ( Diteḥ puraṃ ); if the sun set before he had slain him, he would himself enter the fire. Arjuna bent the Gāṇḍīva, Kṛṣṇa blew the Pāñca- janya, Arjuna the Devadatta (VII, 73 ). Having been informed by spies, Jayadratha was overwhelmed with sorrow and fear, thinking that not even Droṇa (α), not even D., G., As., U., Rā., could protect him against Arjuna. He wished to return home. Duryodhana comforted him saying that he, Karṇa, etc. (β), would protect him. Accompanied by Duryodhana, Jaya- dratha that very night repaired to Droṇa and questioned him about the difference between himself and Arjuna. Droṇa said they had got the same instruction, but Arjuna was superior to Jayadratha in consequence of yoga and the hard life he had led; Droṇa would, however, protect him, forming an Page078-a+ 63 impenetrable array; and, moreover, death ought not to be an object of terror to him (VII, 74 ). Kṛṣṇa remonstrated with A. for his rash vow; the Kurus had expected an attack by A.; now they would protect Jayadratha (who had mentioned A.'s ) encounter with Śiva, Hiraṇyapura, etc.); Karṇa, etc. (γ), would be in Jayadratha's van; Droṇa's array would be half a śakaṭa and half a lotus with a needle-mouthed array in the middle (VII, 75 ). A. assured Kṛṣṇa of his competence to accomplish his vow, notwithstanding Droṇa, Sā., R., V., A., M., with Indra, V.-D., D., P., G., Garuḍa, etc., by means of the Gāṇḍīva and the weapons he had obtained from Yama, etc. (δ) (VII, 76 ). The gods, including Indra, became very anxious. Sinister omens appeared in nature. Kṛṣṇa went to A.'s abode and consoled Subhadrā (mentioning the kṣattriya duties, etc., and revenge) (VII, 77 ). Subhadrā bewailed Abhimanyu, and said “Shame on Bhīmasena, etc. (ε),” because they had not protected him. Draupadī and Uttarā came to her, lamenting. Kṛṣṇa said that Abhimanyu had attained the most laudable and enviable goal. Then he returned to A. (VII, 78 ). A. performed his usual nightly sacrifice to Śiva. Kṛṣṇa with Dāruka repaired to his own tent. None in the Pāṇḍava camp slept that night, thinking of A. In the middle of the night Kṛṣṇa said to Dāruka that he had resolved to fight the next day [if necessary]; he must equip his chariot, placing Kaumodakī, etc., on it, making room for Garuḍa, and yoking Balāhaka, etc. (ζ), to it; when hearing Pāñcajanya emitting the shrill Ṛṣabha note, he should come to Kṛṣṇa (VII, 79 ). A. saw Kṛṣṇa in a dream, who told him not to grieve, and mentioned the Pāśupata weapon (with which Śiva slew all the Daityas in battle); if he remembered it now, he would be able to slay Jayadratha next day; otherwise he must pray to Śiva. At the Brāhma hour A. saw himself sojourning through the sky (Himavat, Maṇimat, frequented by Si. and Cā., etc. (η)), with Kṛṣṇa, to where Śiva was seated with Pārvatī (description) (θ); Kṛṣṇa and A. praised Mahādeva (VII, 80 ). A. beheld the offerings that Śiva made every night to Kṛṣṇa, and he mentally adored both Kṛṣṇa and Śiva. Śiva told them to bring Śiva's bow and arrow from a lake of amṛta. In the lake they saw two terrible snakes; when they had uttered the Brahma Śatarudriya, the snakes assumed the forms of a bow and arrow; from Śiva's body there came out a brahmacārin with blue throat and red locks, and having showed A. the use of the bow and arrow and the mantras, he sped these weapons to that same lake. Having thus once more obtained the Pāśupata weapon, A. and Kṛṣṇa came back to their own camp (VII, 81 ).— § 597 (do.), VII, 82—84 : FOURTEENTH DAY: 83, 2958, 2969, 2970; 84, 2975, 2977, 2982, 2983, 2995, 2998: Yudhiṣṭhira underwent his morning rites (very copious description); Kṛṣṇa visited Yudhiṣṭhira (VII, 82 ). Then also Virāṭa, etc. (α), arrived. Yudhiṣṭhira asked Kṛṣṇa to rescue the Pāṇḍavas, quoting Nārada. Kṛṣṇa assured Yudhi- ṣṭhira of Arjuna's success (VII, 83 ). A. came and acquainted Yudhiṣṭhira with his dream, then he and Kṛṣṇa and Yuyu- dhāna (these two on one chariot) set out for A.'s pavilion. Kṛṣṇa equipped A.'s chariot (which had previously been sanctified with mantras), which A. circumambulated with his bow and arrow in hand. A., Yuyudhāna, and Kṛṣṇa mounted the chariot. Many and auspicious omens appeared. A. charged Yuyudhāna to protect Yudhiṣṭhira in his absence (only he or Pradyumna was able to do it). Yuyudhāna proceeded to Yudhiṣṭhira (VII, 84 ).—§ 598 (Jayadrathavadhap.), VII, 85—88: 85, 3047, 3053, 3056; 86, 3082; 87, 3095: Page078-b+ 63 The warriors of Droṇa shouted in anger “where is A.? ” etc. (η). After the Rudra-hour had set in, A. made his appearance, while omens appeared in nature. Durmarṣaṇa (Dhārtarāṣṭra) took up his position in the van in order to oppose A. A. was at the very van of his army. Kṛṣṇa and A. blew their conchs. The Kuru army was afraid (VII, 88 ).—§ 599 (do.), VII, 89—152 : FOURTEENTH DAY: 89, 3174, 3180; 90, 3185, 3186; 91, 3230, 3236, 3241, 3242, (3250), 3256, 3259; 92, 3265, 3270, 3272, 3286, 3288, 3294, 3297, 3299, 3301; 93, 3346, 3347, 3366, 3392, 3402, 3405; 94, 3413, 3436, 3446, 3484; 99, 3668, 3674, 3677, 3683, 3684, 3694, 3696, 3697, 3700, (3705), 3720, 3721; 100, 3738, 3743; 101, 3804; 103, 3843, 3847, (3853), 3864, 3873, 3876, 3877, 3879, 3880; 104, 3908, 3913, 3914, 3924; 105, 3954, 3955, 3956, 3963; 106, 3965; 110, 4181, 4198, 4222, 4224, 4233, 4235; 111, 4264, 4265, 4268, 4272, 4274, 4280; 112, 4371; 114, 4467, 4470, 4471, 4473, 4475, 4485; 118, 4700; 119, 4713, 4757; 120, 4758, 4787; 121, 4806; 124, 4991, 5014, 5016; 126, 5110, 5136, 5141; 127, 5191, 5193; 128, 5245; 129, 5279; 130, 5311, 5317, 5338; 131, 5357, 5363; 137, 5629; 139, 5774, 5780, 5810, 5815; 140, 5835, 5841; 142, 5883, 5926, 5928, 5930, 5932, 5933, 5941, 5947; 143, (5967), (5997), 6007; 145, 6056, 6066, 6069, 6085, 6088, 6099, 6103, 6127, 6134, 6139, 6145; 146, 6196, 6204, 6210, 6211, 6252, 6255, 6274, 6288, 6294; 147, 6324, 6386; 148, 6394, 6408, 6418; 149, 6497; 150, 6522; 151, 6535, 6549, 6552, 6576; 152, 6587: A. fought with Durmarṣaṇa and caused a terrible carnage (VII, 89 ); then with Duḥśāsana, whose division was routed (VII, 90 ). A. met Droṇa and asked leave to slay Jayadratha; Droṇa refused leave and attacked A.; A. avoided him and penetrated into the Kuru army, the Pāñcāla princes Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujas being the protectors of his wheels; he was opposed by Jaya, etc. (α), and the Abhīṣāhas, etc. (β) (VII, 91 ). A. employed the Brāhma weapon against Droṇa, avoided him again, fought with Kṛtavarman and the Kāmboja king Sudakṣiṇa; Kṛtavarman prevented Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujas from following A., who did not slay Kṛtavarman. Śrutāyudha ( b ) attacked A. and was slain by Kṛṣṇa. Then A. slew Sudakṣina; all the troops fled away (VII, 92 ). A. slew the Abhīṣāhas, etc. (γ), and slew Śrutāyus and Acyutāyus with the Aindra weapon, and then their sons Niyatāyus and Dīrghāyus. A. caused a great carnage among the Aṅgas (on elephants), the Kaliṅga king, etc. (on elephants), the Mlecchas, Yavanas, etc. (δ); A. slew the Ambastha king Śrutāyus (VII, 93 ). Droṇa acknowledged his inability to oppose Arjuna, clad Duryodhana in invulnerable armour and urged him to oppose A. Duryodhana and the Trigartas, etc., proceeded towards the chariot of A. (VII, 94 ). A. and Kṛṣṇa steadily pro- ceeded towards Jayadratha (description). A. slew Vinda and Anuvinda. While Kṛṣṇa led Arjuna's steeds, A. on foot kept the whole Kuru army in check, and piercing the earth with a weapon made a lake for his steeds to drink from and a hall of arrows for them to rest within; Nārada came to see the lake (VII, 99 ). Si. and Cā., etc., applauded (VII, 100 ). The progress of Arjuna (with Kṛṣṇa) became irresistible. Duryodhana (VII, 101 ) fought with Arjuna (VII, 102 ), who had also got the same invulnerable armour from Indra; A. shot terrible shafts consecrated with mantras at Duryodhana; this weapon could not be used again lest it should slay A. himself; A. deprived Duryodhana of his chariot, steeds, and weapons; when Kṛṣṇa blew the Pāñca- Page079-a+ 63 janya and A. bent the Gāṇḍīva, the Kurus fell down on the ground. The protectors of Jayadratha attacked Kṛṣṇa and A. (VII, 103 ). A. fought Bhūriśravas, etc. (μ), (and blew the Devadatta), Duryodhana, Aśvatthāman (VII, 104 ), and slew many chariot-warriors. A.'s standard bore the sign of an ape with fierce face and tail like that of the lion (ν) (VII, 105 ). Yudhiṣṭhira heard the blare of Pāñcajanya and thought A. to be in distress; he requested Sātyaki to go to A. and bring him intelligence of his safety; A. had said in the Dvaita wood to Yudhiṣṭhira, “even if Kṛṣṇa, etc. (σ), assists us, I shall yet appoint Sātyaki for our aid, since there is none equal to him,” and Yudhiṣṭhira had witnessed his reverence for A. at Dvārakā, after his return from the tīrthas, etc.; “the day is about to end”; Pradyumna and Sātyaki are equal to A. in bravery (VII, 110 ). Sātyaki hesitated to comply with Yudhiṣṭhira's request on the ground of a counter-command by A.; “the Sauvīrakas, etc. (τ), D., As., men, Rā., K., M.-U., etc., cannot cope with A. in battle” (VII, 111 ). Sātyaki agreed to obey Yudhi- ṣṭhira's order; “the distance from here is 3 yojanas”; he would crush the elephants of the Añjana breed mounted by Mlecchas (named Rukmarathas), who at Karṇa's command had returned from the pursuit of A. and were waiting for Sātyaki, and likewise crush those 700 elephants mounted by Kirātas ( c ) and formerly given by the Kirāta king to A. (VII, 112 ). Yuyudhāna proceeded towards the chariot of A. (VII, 120 ). Yudhiṣṭhira was anxious because he had not obtained any news of A. and Sātyaki, and thought of sending Bhīma after Sātyaki; Bhīma penetrated to Arjuna, making his presence known by a roar; A. and Kṛṣṇa uttered loud roars in return; Yudhiṣṭhira understood that all was safe, and recalled A.'s feats (ππ) (VII, 128 ). A. bent the Gāṇḍīva, and Kṛṣṇa blew the Pāñcajanya (VII, 129 ). Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujas proceeded towards A. (VII, 130 ). Bhīma was attacked by Karṇa; Kṛṣṇa and A. became anxious for Bhīma (VII, 132 ). Bhīma gladdened A., etc. (ψψ) (VII, 136 ). Bhīma's weapons being exhausted, he fled away from Karṇa and defended himself with the bodies of the elephants slain by A.; but, recollecting A.'s vow, he did not take the life of Karṇa; and Karṇa, recollecting his promise to Kuntī, did not take the life of Bhīma; A. then turned Karṇa and then Aśvatthāman to flight (VII, 139 ). Sātyaki slew the steeds of Duḥśāsana, gladdening A. and Kṛṣṇa (VII, 140 ). Sātyaki approached A., who was anxious for Yudhiṣṭhira (εεε) (VII, 141 ). As Sātyaki succumbed to Bhūriśravas, A., urged by Kṛṣṇa, cut off one of the arms of Bhūriśravas (VII, 142 ). Bhūriśravas rebuked A. (ηηη); A. justified his conduct (θθθ). Bhūriśravas ( d ) desired to die in prāya (description); he acknowledged the justice of A.'s plea, and was blessed by Kṛṣṇa and A. (ιιι). Though forbidden by Kṛṣṇa, etc. (κκκ), Sātyaki slew Bhūriśravas sitting in prāya (VII, 143 ). A. proceeded to Jayadratha's chariot; Duryo- dhana, etc. (μμμ), encountered A. Duryodhana prevailed upon Karṇa to protect Jayadratha (ννν); A. deprived Karṇa of his steeds, chariot, and charioteer. A. invoked the Vāruṇa weapon and caused a great carnage (VII, 145 ). A. employed the Aindra weapon, etc. (description). A. cut off Jaya- dratha's standard and slew his charioteer; Jayadratha was put into their centre by six chariot-warriors. Kṛṣṇa covered the sun by means of his yoga power, so that all, except A., thought the sun to have set, and he urged A. to cut off Jayadratha's head without delay; A. caused such a carnage that the warriors abandoned Jayadratha Page079-b+ 63 in fear and fled away; Kṛṣṇa again urged A. to cut off Jayadratha's head without delay, telling him about the curse of Jayadratha's father Vṛddhakṣattra ( g ), who was still engaged in penances outside Samantapañcaka; therefore A. should make the head fall upon the lap of Vṛddhakṣattra himself, lest A.'s head should crack into 100 pieces; this A. did, and as the head fell down from Vṛddhakṣattra's lap the latter's head split into 100 pieces. Kṛṣṇa then withdrew the darkness he had created; Kṛṣṇa and A. blew their conchs, etc.; A. fought with many mighty chariot-warriors (VII, 146 ); Kṛpa (at whose death-like swoon A. grieved), Aśvatthāman (who fled), Karṇa; Kṛṣṇa told A. to avoid Karṇa, because the latter was still in possession of the lance that Indra had given him. “In this world there are only three mighty archers, Kṛṣṇa, A., and Sātyaki,” said Sañjaya (VII, 147 ). Bhīma tried to induce A. to permit him to slay Karṇa; A. vowed to slay Karṇa's son Vṛṣaseṇa in his presence. Kṛṣṇa congratulated A. (ϕϕϕ), who attributed the victory to Kṛṣṇa; Kṛṣṇa pointed out to A. the results of that day's battle (VII, 148 ). Kṛṣṇa and A. congratulated Yudhiṣṭhira (ψψψ) (VII, 149 ). A fierce battle ensued (VII, 152 ).— § 600 (Ghaṭotkacavadhap.), VII, 153—183 : THE NIGHT COMBAT AFTER THE FOURTEENTH DAY: 159, 7024, 7044, 7049, 7107; 164, 7325, 7346, 7350; 165, 7371; 167, 7479, 7502, 7503, 7505, 7508; 170, 7660, 7661; 171, 7704, 7705, 7706, 7707, 7709; 172, 7760; 181, (8213); 182, 8275; 183, 8298: A dreadful battle took place between the Pāñcālas and the Kauravas (VII, 153 ); A., etc. (β), fought with Droṇa (VII, 154 ); do.; Duryodhana urged Śakuni to proceed against A. together with Karṇa, etc. (κ) (VII, 156 ). Drupada's division, which fled before Droṇa, was rallied by A. and Bhīma, followed by the Kaikayas, etc. (σ) (VII, 157 ). Karṇa vowed to slay A., etc. (υ) (VII, 158 ). Aśvatthāman, etc. (ββ), fought with A. in order to rescue Karṇa; A. slew the steeds and driver of Karṇa, etc.; Duryodhana fought with A.; Kṛpa urged Aśvatthāman to proceed against A.; he made Duryodhana desist from an encounter with A. (VII, 159 ). A. slew the Yaudheyas, etc. (ζζ); the Pāñcālas fled, but were rallied by Bhīma and A.; the Kauravas fled (VII, 161 ). Kṛṣṇa told Yudhiṣṭhira not to fight with Droṇa, he should go to Duryodhana, A., and Bhīma (VII, 162 ). Duryodhana commanded his troops to take up lighted lamps and torches (VII, 163 ). “Karṇa will vanquish A., etc.,” said Droṇa; A. fought against the Kauravas (VII, 164 ). Alambuṣa fought with A. (VII, 165 ). A. vanquished Alambuṣa and attacked Droṇa (VII, 167 ). A new battle ensued (description) (VII, 169 ); the Gāṇḍīva and the rattle of A.'s chariot were heard; Duryodhana despatched Śakuni against A. (VII, 170 ). A. deprived Śakuni of his chariot, etc.; Kṛṣṇa and A. blew their conchs (VII, 171 ). The Pāṇḍava host fled; A. and Kṛṣṇa rallied the retreating troops (σσ) (VII, 172 ). Dhṛṣṭadyumna was deprived of his chariot by Karṇa, and ascended the chariot of A. A. and Kṛṣṇa and Yudhi- ṣṭhira conversed about Karṇa; A. asked Kṛṣṇa to proceed towards Karṇa. Kṛṣṇa said that none except A. and Ghaṭotkaca could encounter him; but A. must not do it as long as he retained the lance presented by Indra; “but Ghaṭotkaca will vanquish Karṇa.” They prevailed upon Ghaṭotkaca to encounter Karṇa (ττ) (VII, 173 ). Ghaṭotkaca slew Alambuṣa and fought with Karṇa (VII, 174 ). Kṛṣṇa urged A. to proceed in Bhīma's wake and resist Droṇa's division (VII, 177 ). A. shot many Kṣattriyas (VII, 178 ). Page080-a+ 63 Karṇa slew Ghaṭotkaca with his celestial dart (VII, 179 ). Kṛṣṇa with transports of delight embraced A., because Karṇa's dart could no more kill A. (VII, 180 ). Kṛṣṇa's policy was the reason why Karṇa had never hurled the fatal dart at A. (VII, 182 ).—§ 601 (Droṇavadhap.), VII, 184—185 : CONTINUATION OF THE NIGHT AFTER THE FOURTEENTH DAY: 184, 8395; 185, 8431, 8440, 8441, 8445, 8448, 8449: A. granted permission to the warriors to sleep. D., Ṛ., and soldiers applauded A.; all the combatants lay down on the field to sleep (description); the Kaurava troops blessed A. for his act of kindness. When the moon rose, both hosts rose from sleep and again prepared for battle (VII, 184 ). Droṇa described the extent of A.'s might and prowess (γ); Duryodhana vowed that he would slay A. that day. Droṇa was of opinion that it was only right that Duryodhana and Śakuni should proceed against A. (VII, 185 ).—§ 602 (do.), VII, 186—192 : FIFTEENTH DAY: 186, 8462, 8465; 187, 8540, 8543; 188, 8597, 8605, 8607, 8608, 8610; 189, 8691; 190, 8701, 8702; 192, 8875: When three-fourths of that night had worn away the battle once more commenced. Urged by Kṛṣṇa A. moved to the left of Droṇa and Karṇa. Bhīma urged A. to put forth all his vigour. A. fought with Droṇa, Karṇa, etc. (ζ) (description); he was assisted by Drupada, etc. Soon the morning sun arose (VII, 186 ). The battle was revived (VII, 187 ). D., G., Ṛ., Si., Aps., Y., and Rā. applauded Droṇa and A., saying that “this is no human, etc. (μ), but an exalted Brāhma encounter”; both employed the Brāhma weapon; the engagement became general (VII, 188 ). A. attacked the Kurus, and Droṇa attacked the Pāñcālas (VII, 189 ). The Pāṇḍavas feared, thinking that A. would not fight with Droṇa. Kṛṣṇa told A. to abandon virtue and let some one tell Droṇa that Aśvatthāman had been slain in battle. A. did not approve; others approved, Yudhiṣṭhira, however, with great difficulty (VII, 190 ). A fierce encounter took place between Droṇa and Dhṛṣṭadyumna; Sātyaki rescued Dhṛṣṭadyumna and was applauded by Kṛṣṇa, A., and Si., etc. (VII, 191 ). Dhṛṣṭadyumna cut off Droṇa's head, though forbidden by A. and blamed by everybody (VII, 192 ).—§ 603 (Nārāya— ṇāstram.), VII, 193—202 : THE LAST PART OF THE FIFTEENTH DAY: 193, 8957, 8958; 195, 9002; 196, 9037, (9054); 197, 9082, 9119, 9123, 9125; 198, 9132; 199, 9246, (9247); 200, 9259, 9267, †9337; 201, 9426, 9429, 9431, 9444, 9479; 202, 9645: Aśvatthāman was filled with rage; he said there was none equal to him and A. in knowledge of arms; he had a weapon (the Nārāyaṇa weapon) that neither A., etc. (δ), knew, presented by Nārāyaṇa to his father, with the promise that no man should ever be his equal in battle; only this weapon must never be used in haste, etc., and never be hurled upon persons that abandoned their chariots and weapons in battle, etc.; with this he would rout and slay the Pāṇḍavas, etc. (ι) (VII, 195 ). Terrible signs appeared in nature. Yudhiṣṭhira spoke about the matter to A. (κ); A. in reply described the prowess of Aśvatthāman and the unrighteousness of the Pāṇḍavas in slaying Droṇa (λ); “all of us have passed the greater parts of our lives; the days that remain to us are few; this exceedingly unrighteous act has stained what is left;…I did not interfere, as he was about to be slain; for this fault I have already sunk into hell, overcome with shame” (VII, 196 ). Bhīmasena, reproaching A., vindicated the deed (μ) (VII, 197 ). A. cast oblique glances upon Dhṛṣṭadyumna; Dhṛṣṭadyumna taunted Sātyaki for the slaughter of Bhūriśravas (ρ); Sātyaki would Page080-b+ 63 slay Dhṛṣṭadyumna; Dhṛṣṭadyumna asked Bhīma to let him slay Sātyaki (τ); then he and A. would slay the enemies. Kṛṣṇa and Yudhiṣṭhira restored peace (VII, 198 ). Aśvatthāman invoked the Nārāyaṇa weapon (description). Kṛṣṇa prevailed upon the troops to lay down their weapons and alight from their chariots; Bhīmasena alone refused to do so. A. said that his vow was that the Gāṇḍīva should not be used against the Nārāyaṇa weapon, kine, and brahmans. Bhīma attacked Aśvatthāman, but was overwhelmed by the energy of the Nārāyaṇa weapon (VII, 199 ). A. covered Bhīmasena with the Vāruṇa weapon; he and Kṛṣṇa forcibly brought Bhīma down from his chariot, making him abandon his weapons. Then the Nārāyaṇa weapon became pacified. It could not be used twice. A., etc. (γγ), fought with Aśvatthāman (VII, 200 ). A. addressed Aśvatthāman in harsh words (δδ), though A. and Aśvatthāman loved each other. Aśvatthāman became angry with A. and especially with Kṛṣṇa, touched water, and invoked the Āgneya weapon, the result being sinister omens and a great slaughter in the Pāṇḍava army; A. invoked the Brāhma weapon; the darkness was dispelled, etc., a full akṣauhiṇī of the Pāṇḍava troops had been felled; Kṛṣṇa and A. were unwounded; Aśvatthāman lost heart and ran away; he met Vyāsa, who told him the history of Nārāyaṇa ( b ); “Nara and Nārāyaṇa are A. and Kṛṣṇa” (VII, 201 ). A. met with Vyāsa and inquired of him about the invisible person who aided him in the battle. Vyāsa said that it was Mahādeva himself, and related the tale of the sacrifice of Dakṣa, the destruction of Tripura ( d ), etc. —§ 604 (Karṇap.), VIII, 1—9 : THE NIGHT AFTER DROṆA'S DEATH, AND THE SIXTEENTH MORNING, AND BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE SIXTEENTH AND SEVENTEENTH DAY: 3, 72; 5, 101, 143, 146; 9, 267, 313: The Kurus made Karṇa their leader; he fought for two days and was then slain by A. (VIII, 1 ). Sañjaya related to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Karṇa was made generalissimo and slain by A. on the second day (VIII, 3 ). —§ 605 (do.), VIII, 10—32 : SIXTEENTH DAY: 11, 428; 16, 610, 611, 616, 618, 621, 627, 628, 633, 639, 640, 641, 642; 17, 663, †665, †666, †667, †674, †675, †677, †679, 686; 18, 688, 694, 695, 697, 708; 19, 715, 718, 719, 721, 729, 731, 762; 20, 772, 774; 21, 821, 824; 26, 1053; 27, 1080, 1081; 30, 1217, 1219, 1223, 1227, 1237, 1245; 31, 1249, 1257, 1286, 1289, 1295, 1298, 1311, 1315; 32, 1340, 1344: After Droṇa's fall the Kauravas fought for a long time with the Pāṇḍavas (Arjuna). On the approach of the evening twilight the Kauravas retired to their en- campment; they held a consultation in the night; Karṇa was installed as generalissimo (ι) (VIII, 10 ). Yudhiṣṭhira asked A. to array the Pāṇḍava army and slay Karṇa. The Pāṇḍava army was arranged after the form of a half-moon, A. in the middle (ω); Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujas became the protectors of A.'s chariot-wheels (VIII, 11 ). A. fought with the Saṃśaptakas (VIII, 13, 16 ) and Aśvatthāman (VIII, 16 ). The Kaliṅga, Vaṅga, and Niṣāda heroes attacked A. with a division of elephants, which was broken; Kṛṣṇa urged A. not to spare Aśvatthāman, who was at last borne away by his steeds; Kṛṣṇa and A. proceeded towards the Saṃśaptakas (VIII, 17 ). Urged by Kṛṣṇa, A. slew the Magadha chief Daṇḍadhāra (lord of Girivraja), (on an elephant), and then his brother Daṇḍa; A. once more proceeded against the Saṃśaptakas (VIII, 18 ), whom he slaughtered; A. slew Ugrāyudha's son; urged by Kṛṣṇa, A. defeated the remnant of the Saṃśaptakas in order not to lose any time in slaying Karṇa (VIII, 19 ). Kṛṣṇa said to A. that he did Page081-a+ 63 not see Yudhiṣṭhira (VIII, 21 ). A. fought the Trigartas, etc. (λλ), slew king Śatruñjaya, and Suśruta's son and Candradeva; king Satyasena wounded Kṛṣṇa and was slain by A., who then slew Citravarman and Mitrasena, etc., and wounded Suśarman; all the Saṃśaptakas attacked A., who invoked the Aindra weapon (description); the hostile army fled away almost entirely (VIII, 27 ). Karṇa slaughtered the Pāñcālas, A. the Trigartas, etc., when the sun had passed the meridian (VIII, 28 ). In the afternoon A. and Kṛṣṇa (having said their daily prayers and worshipped Bhava) destroyed the Kurus; A. fought Duryodhana, Aśvatthāman, Karṇa. At the close of the day both armies withdrew; Rā. and Pś., etc., came (VIII, 30 ). Dhṛtarāṣṭra exalted the prowess of A. (οο). Karṇa assured Duryodhana that he would slay A. next day; at dawn he repeated his pledge: “ A. is superior to me only by having Kṛṣṇa, the creator of the universe, for his charioteer, the chariot given him by Agni, his steed, and his standard with the ape.” He wanted Śalya (“who is superior to Kṛṣṇa”) as his charioteer (VIII, 31 ).—§ 606 (do.), VIII, 35, 1657: Duryodhana prevailed upon Śalya to be Karṇa's charioteer by relating how Brahmán had acted as such to Rudra, and by pointing to the fact that Kṛṣṇa had become the charioteer of A., and would fight if A. were slain (VIII, 35 ).—§ 607 (do.), VIII, 36—45: 36, 1688; 37, †1722, †1728, †1735, †1740, †1741, †1745; 38, 1756, 1757, 1758, 1760, 1763, 1766, 1768, 1771, 1774; 39, 1791, †1794, †1796, †1797, †1798, 1806; 40, 1818, 1829; 41, 1958, 1960, 1961; 42, 1962; 45, 2111: When the morning came, Duryodhana prevailed upon Śalya to become Karṇa's charioteer. Karṇa told Śalya to urge the steeds that he might slay A., etc. (β) (VIII, 36 ). Karṇa boasted (γ); Śalya ridiculed him and praised A. (δ). Karṇa proceeded on his chariot and inquired after A. (VIII, 37 ), promising every Pāṇḍava soldier that he who pointed out to him A. would receive whatever wealth he desired (VIII, 38 ). Śalya said that Karṇa would have a sight of A. without troubling to make a search, and asked him to abandon his desire for a single combat with A. (VIII, 39 ). Karṇa said that Kṛṣṇa and A. were well known to him but did not inspire him with fright; notwithstanding the curse of Paraśu-Rāma he would slay A.; he would employ the Brāhma weapon, which A. would never be able to escape, if only the wheels of Karṇa's chariot did not sink into the earth that day according to the brahman's curse whose homa-cow' calf he had inadvertently struck (VIII, 42 ).—§ 608 (do.), VIII, 46—96 : THE SEVENTEENTH DAY'S BATTLE: 46, 2130, 2132, 2152, 2154, 2161, 2177, 2193, 2197, 2199, 2201, 2206; 47, 2212, 2217, 2219; 50, 2415, 2421; 53, 2574, 2598, 2604; 56, 2774, 2784, 2801, 2810, 2828; 57, 2849; 58, 2857, 2858, 2894, 2898, 2903; 59, 2955, 2966, 2970; 60, 3039, 3055, 3063; 61, 3079; 62, 3142; 63, 3198; 64, 3217, 3219, 3223, 3230, 3231, 3240, 3241, 3272; 65, †3292, †3293, †3294, 3307; 66, 3309, 3317, 3335; 68, 3386; 69, (3440), (3470), 3483; 70, 3492, 3515; 71, 3562; 72, 3605, 3615; 73, 3634; 74, 3791, 3803; 76, 3842, 3859, 3860; 77, 3861, 3862, 3874, 3875, 3876, 3878, 3879, 3881; 79, 4004, 4025, 4032, 4037, 4066, 4067, 4068, 4072, 4075, 4085; 80, 4118; 81, 4124, 4145, 4146, 4157, 4159, 4161; 83, 4257; 84, 4301; 85, 4329, 4340, 4347; 86, 4349, (4364); 87, 4383, 4408, 4409, 4415, 4416, 4421, 4423, 4425, 4429, 4430, 4437, 4461, 4462, 4476, 4479; 88, 4505; 89, 4524, 4532, 4533, 4534, 4535, 4536, 4539, 4559, 4591; 90, 4623, 4625, 4626, 4632, 4633, 4635, 4658, 4662, 4664, Page081-b+ 63 4667, 4670, 4671, 4672, 4675, 4685, 4688, 4690, 4696, 4698, 4701, 4715, 4718, 4720, 4725, 4731, 4736, 4741; 91, 4766, 4780, 4807, 4811, 4816; 92, 4819, 4826, 4829; 93, 4834, 4851, 4867; 94, 4905, 4919, 4947, 4956, 4960; 95, 4977; 96, 4990, 4992, 4997, 5008, 5016, 5027: Yudhiṣṭhira spoke to A. of the hostile array; A. should proceed against Karṇa, etc.; Śalya pointed out to Karṇa the chariot of A. (b ). A.'s chariot of which Agni Vaiśvānara, the first ( pūrvaḥ ), the brahmán, Indu (i.e. Soma), had become the steeds, [and] that was originally ( prathamaṃ ) born from him, [that chariot] the gods and the brahmans knew; which had in days of old borne Brahmán, Īśāna (i.e. Śiva), Indra, and Varuṇa; riding on that primeval ( ādyaṃ ) chariot, Keśava (i.e. Kṛṣṇa) and A. now proceeded to battle…with white steeds. How the Saṃśaptakas threatened to slay A., etc.; Śalya dissuaded Kaṛna from trying to slay A. (VIII, 46 ). A. arrayed his troops, headed by Dhṛṣṭadyumna (with steeds white like pigeons); by the side of Dhṛṣṭadyumna were the Draupadeyas. A. fought the Saṃśaptakas (VIII, 47 ). A. fought the Saṃśap- takas, etc. (ηη); A. fought Suśarman; A. repeatedly invoked the Nāga weapon, paralyzing the legs (encircled with snakes) of the Saṃśaptakas; Suśarman invoked the Sauparṇa weapon; birds came down and devoured the snakes; A. sat down, recovered, and invoked the Aindra weapon; the battle became awful (VIII, 53 ). A. fought the Saṃśaptakas; he addressed Kṛṣṇa upon beholding Karṇa's ( e ) prowess, and as the Saṃśaptakas were defeated (when the sun had ascended the meridian), A. pierced through the Kuru host. Duryodhana once more urged the Saṃśaptakas against him. Having slain 10,000 kṣattriyas, A. came to the further wing of the Saṃśaptakas, which was protected by the Kāmbojas; the younger brother of the Kāmboja chief Sudakṣiṇa was slain by A.; the Kāmbojas, etc. (ττ), were slain. A. fought Aśvatthāman; Si. and Cā. arrived; Kṛṣṇa urged A. not to spare Aśvatthāman, who swooned away and was borne away by his charioteer; A. slaughtered the Kuru troops, etc. (VIII, 56 ). A. pointed out to Kṛṣṇa that the Pāṇḍava army was fleeing before Karṇa, and that Yudhiṣṭhira was nowhere to be seen; “the third part of the day still remains.” A. proceeded to Yudhiṣṭhira; Kṛṣṇa described the field of battle to A. (γγ). A terrible battle ensued (VIII, 58 ). A remnant only of the Saṃśaptakas were left unslaughtered. Dhṛṣṭadyumna was worsted by Aśvat- thāman and rescued by A.; A. proceeded towards the Saṃśaptakas (VIII, 59 ). Kṛṣṇa pointed out to A. that Yudhiṣṭhira was being pursued by many Dhārtarāṣṭras and was in great danger; Karṇa would soon come against A. and was protected by Duryodhana; he should be slain. A. then destroyed the remnant of his foes; the Saṃśaptakas fled (VIII, 60 ). A. fought against Aśvatthāman (VIII, 61 ). A. appeared (VIII, 62 ). Śalya exhorted Karṇa to fight with A., but in vain; he once more reminded Karṇa of A., etc. (ηη) (VIII, 63 ). A. fought with Aśvatthāman; Aśvatthāman employed the Aindra weapon, which A. neutralized with a mighty weapon created by Indra; at last Aśvatthāman was borne away by his steeds. The Sṛñjayas called upon A. and Kṛṣṇa. A. spoke to Kṛṣṇa about Karṇa; Kṛṣṇa asked him first to find Yudhiṣṭhira (VIII, 64 ). A. met with Bhīma and asked him to bring intelligence of Yudhiṣṭhira; but they agreed that A. should go to Yudhiṣṭhira while Bhīma should resist the Saṃśaptakas. A. and Kṛṣṇa found Yudhiṣṭhira lying on his bed (VIII, 65 ). A. swore to slay Karṇa and all the Page082-a+ 63 foes that day (VIII, 67 ). Yudhiṣṭhira censured A., thinking that he had run away from the battle leaving Bhīma unsupported (λλλ), several times invoking him to give up the Gāṇḍīva to somebody else (VIII, 68 ). A. drew his sword in order to strike off Yudhiṣṭhira's head in fulfilment of his vow regarding the person who would tell him to give up the Gāṇḍīva (μμμ); Kṛṣṇa addressed A. on the nature of truth (ννν); A. said he must keep his vow (ξξξ); Kṛṣṇa suggested that A., by insulting Yudhiṣṭhira, by addressing him with “thou,” would be regarded as having slain him (οοο) (VIII, 69 ). Urged by Kṛṣṇa, A. insulted Yudhiṣṭhira in a long speech (πππ); then he became despondent and desired to cut off his own head; Kṛṣṇa urged him to utter his own praises, as self-praise was equal to self-destruction. A. praised himself (ρρρ) and asked for Yudhiṣṭhira's forgiveness, promising to slay Karṇa and rescue Bhīma. Kṛṣṇa induced him to forgive both himself and A. (σσσ) (VIII, 70 ). Speeches of Kṛṣṇa, A., and Yudhiṣṭhira on the same topic (τττ) (VIII, 71 ). A. proceeded to slay Karṇa, having obtained Yudhiṣṭhira's leave; Kṛṣṇa addressed A. in order to raise his spirits (υυυ) (VIII, 72 ); continuation (υυυ) (VIII, 73 ). A.'s cheerful reply to Kṛṣṇa (ψψψ) (VIII, 74 ). Sañjaya related; A. slew many (VIII, 75 ). Bhīma said to his charioteer Viśoka that he was anxious about A. and Yudhiṣṭhira; Viśoka pointed out to Bhīma that A. was returning to battle (ωωω) (VIII, 76 ). A. and Bhīma attacked the Kaurava army (description) (VIII, 77 ). A. produced a river of blood (description). Requested by A. (ζ), Kṛṣṇa brought him to Karṇa; Duryodhana attacked A.; A. vanquished Aśvatthāman, Kṛpa, and Kṛtavarman; Śikhaṇḍin, etc. (ιʹ), proceeding towards A., checked the foes (VIII, 79 ). A., avoiding Karṇa, proceeded to the rescue of Bhīma; he informed Bhīma that Yudhiṣṭhira was well; he slew ten sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra (VIII, 80 ). A. was assailed by ninety Saṃśaptakas as he was proceeding towards Karna's chariot; he slew them; so also many Kauravas and a force of Mlecchas, mounted on 1,300 elephants under the command of Duryodhana. Bhīma rushed towards A., and destroyed a small unslaughtered remnant of the Kauravas; then he followed A. in his rear (VIII, 81 ). Kṛṣṇa urged A. to slay Karṇa; A. proceeded with Bhīmasena (VIII, 82 ). Bhīmasena took up a little of Duḥśāsana's blood and drank it (μʹ), addressing Kṛṣṇa and A., and vowing soon to slay Duryodhana (VIII, 83 ). Urged by Bhīma and Nakula, A. proceeded towards Vṛṣasena (VIII, 84 ). A. slew Karṇa's son Vṛṣasena, and threatened to slay Karṇa, as Bhīma would slay Duryodhana; A. attacked Karṇa (VIII, 85 ); Kṛṣṇa addressed A. (τʹ); A.'s reply (υʹ) (VIII, 86 ); description of A. and Karṇa (ϕʹ); As., Yātudhānas, Gh., etc., sided with Karṇa; the Vedas, etc. (χʹ), took the side of A.; the smaller snakes all sided with Karṇa; V., M., Sā., R., V.-D., A., and Agni, etc. (χʹ), sided with A., while all Ā. sided with Karṇa; the Vaiśyas, etc. (ψʹ), sided with Karṇa; P., etc. (χʹ), with A.; the Pretas, Pś., Rā., etc., with Karṇa; D.-ṛ., B.-ṛ., R.-ṛ., with A., as also G. headed by Tumburu. With the Prādheyas and Mauneyas, G., and Aps., and many wise sages, having wolves for their vehicles, came to witness the encounter that was also witnessed by D., Dā., G., N., Y., etc., M.-ṛ., P. (subsisting upon Svadhā), etc., and Brahmán with B.-ṛ., and Prajāpatis, and Bhava. Indra wished that A. should vanquish Karṇa; Sūrya, that Karṇa should vanquish A.; the gods urged Brahmán that the success of both should be equal, Indra that A. and Kṛṣṇa should win; Brahmán Page082-b+ 63 and Īśāna (i.e. Śiva) said that the victory of A. was certain (ωʹ): “let Karṇa obtain identity with V. or M., let him be worshipped in heaven with Droṇa and Bhīṣma.” Indra acquiesced by their words. Description of Karṇa's and A.'s chariots; the ape on A.'s banner attacked the elephant's rope on Karṇa's banner. Kṛṣṇa and Śalya darted keen glances at each other, and so did A. and Karṇa. Śalya said that he would slay both Kṛṣṇa and A. if Karṇa was slain; Kṛṣṇa said that Karṇa could not slay A.; otherwise, the destruction of the universe would be at hand, and he would himself slay Karṇa and Śalya. A. said that that day the wives of Karṇa would become widows (ααʹ) (VIII, 87 ). In the welkin D., N., As., Si., Y., G., Rā., Aps., and B.-ṛ., etc., looked on. The battle commenced. A. defeated Duryodhana, etc. (VIII, 88 ); description of the battle between A. and Karṇa; A. employed an Āgneya weapon, which was neutralized by Karṇa with a Vāruṇa weapon by means of clouds, which was in its turn dispelled by A. by means of a Vāyavya weapon; A. employed the Aindra weapon ( ? dayitaṃ deva- rājñaḥ; Mahendrasyāstraṃ ), Karṇa the Bhārgava weapon. Seeing A.'s weapons neutralized by Karṇa, Bhīma (αεʹ) and Kṛṣṇa (αζʹ) urged A. to put forth his strength. A. bowed to Brahmán and invoked the Brāhma weapon, which could be applied by the mind alone; Karṇa neutralized it; urged by Bhīma, A. applied a second Brāhma weapon, which caused a great carnage among the Kaurava troops (description). A. shot at Karṇa and Śalya and slew Sabhāpati, etc. The Kauravas urged Karṇa to slay A. Yudhiṣṭhira appeared in order to witness the encounter. A.'s bowstring burst; Karṇa pierced A. (αδʹ). Karṇa employed five snakes as arrows; they were cut off by A., who slew 2,000 Kurus. The Kurus fled, leaving Karṇa to fight alone with A. (VIII, 89 ). The snake Aśvasena entered into Karṇa's quiver in the form of an arrow. Karṇa and A. were fanned and sprinkled with fragrant sandal-water by many Aps., staying in the welkin, and Śakra and Sūrya gently brushed their faces with their hands. Karṇa aimed that arrow which he had long kept for A.'s destruction. Omens appeared; Karṇa did not know that Aśvasena had entered his arrow. Kṛṣṇa with his feet pressed A.'s car about a cubit into the earth and the snake- arrow only broke his diadem (made by Svayambhū for Indra > A.); incapable of being crushed by Rudra, etc. (αιʹ). Karṇa would not shoot the same weapon again. Aśvasena then of his own accord came towards A. in the shape of an arrow; Kṛṣṇa informed A.; A. cut off the snake, and Kṛṣṇa raised the chariot from the earth. Once, when Karṇa was stupefied, A. did not wish to slay him, but he was taught by Kṛṣṇa never to spare an enemy. Karṇa invoked the Brāhma weapon and A. the Aindra weapon, which was neutralized by Karṇa; urged by Kṛṣṇa to shoot “high weapons,” A. shot the Brāhma weapon. Karṇa cut off eleven bowstrings of A.'s one after another, not knowing that A. had 100 strings to his bow; urged by Kṛṣṇa to strike Karṇa with “superior weapons,” A. then consecrated another celestial weapon with mantras, uniting the Raudra weapon with it. At that time the earth swallowed up Karṇa's wheels. Karṇa asked A. to wait for a moment till he had raised his sunken wheel (VIII, 90 ). Kṛṣṇa urged A. to pierce Karṇa with a celestial weapon; A. kindled with fury; blazing flames of fire seemed to emanate from all the pores of his body. Both Karṇa and A. invoked the Brāhma weapon; A. shot an Agni weapon, which was neutralized by Karṇa with the Vāruṇa weapon, spreading darkness in all directions, which A. dispelled Page083-a+ 63 with the Vāyavya weapon. Pierced by a shaft of Karṇa's, A. began to reel, etc.; Karṇa in vain endeavoured to extricate his chariot. Recovering his senses, A. took up an Añjalika weapon. Urged by Kṛṣṇa, A. cut off Karṇa's standard, and then struck off Karṇa's head with an Añjalika weapon (the Ṛ. loudly crying out “Peace be to the universe!”) (VIII, 91 ). A. fought the chariots of the Kauravas. A. and Kṛṣṇa blew their conchs; D., G., men, Cā., M.-ṛ., Y., and M.-U. congratulated A. (VIII, 94 ). Urged by Kṛṣṇa (αϕʹ), A. presented himself to Yudhiṣṭhira, who greeted A. and Kṛṣṇa. Yudhiṣṭhira, with Kṛṣṇa and A., came back to the field to have a look at Karṇa's body (VIII, 96 ).—§ 609 (Śalyap.), IX, 1—2: 2, 119: Śalya was made the commander of the army (IX, 1 ). Dhṛtarāṣṭra's lament (IX, 2 ).—§ 610 (do.), IX, 3—7: 3, 143, 150; 4, 207, 208, 234; 5, 251; 7, 351: A. proceeded towards the chariots; he fought with 25,000 foot-soldiers; Cekitāna, etc. (κ), having slain a large number, A. attacked the rest (IX, 3 ). The troops passed the night at the foot of Himavat (IX, 6 ). Kṛṣṇa said that Śalya was equal to Bhīṣma and superior to A. (χ) (IX, 7 ).—§ 611 (do.), IX, 8—28 : THE BATTLE OF THE FORENOON OF THE EIGHTEENTH DAY: 8, 393; 9, 448; 11, 567; 14, 705, 708, 710, 714, 730, 737, 749, 750, 751; 18, 961; 19, 1015; 24, 1325; 25, 1364, 1395; 27, 1471, 1480, 1485: A. went against Kṛtavarman and the Saṃśaptakas (IX, 8 ). A. and Bhīmasena stupefied their foes (IX, 9 ). A., having slaughtered the Saṃśaptakas, encountered Śalya (IX, 10 ). Duryodhana fought with A. (IX, 11 ). A. fought with Aśvatthāman (IX, 12 ). A. fought against Aśvatthāman and the Trigartas; he destroyed 2,000 cars (IX, 14 ). The Pāṇḍavas (in the very sight of Kṛṣṇa and A.) were afflicted by the Kurus; A. fought with Kṛpa and Kṛtavarman. Yudhiṣṭhira said that A. should protect his rear; A. began to slay the Kaurava troops (IX, 16 ). Yudhiṣṭhira slew Śalya with a celestial dart (IX, 17 ). A., etc. (ββ), began to slaughter the Madrakas (IX, 18 ). Also the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra almost all turned away from the fight at midday; A. fought against the chariots; Duryodhana rallied a small force by a spirited address (ζζ); the Pāṇḍavas, and especially A., rushed against them (IX, 19 ). The whole army of Duryodhana fled except Duryodhana (IX, 21 ). A. (desiring to exterminate the Kurus) addressed Kṛṣṇa, recounting the loss sustained by the Kurus (νν), and attacked the remnant of the Kuru army, and caused a great slaughter (IX, 24 ). A. and Bhīma, etc. (οο), slew 3,000 elephants, encompassing the Pāṇḍava brothers; A. had afflicted Sañjaya's men; Bhīma and A. destroyed the elephants (IX, 25 ). Kṛṣṇa urged A. to destroy the remnant of Duryodhana's troops (σσ); A. ascended his chariot (ττ); A. fought against Suśarman and Śakuni, the Trigartas, slew Satyakarman, Satyeṣu, and the Prasthala ruler Suśarman, and the latter's thirty-five sons, etc., and then proceeded against the remnant of the Bharata host (IX, 27 ).—§ 612 (Hradapr.), IX, 29—31: 29, 1568, 1600; 30, 1725: the followers of Śakuni attacked the Pāṇḍavas; A. and Bhīmasena came to the rescue of Sahadeva; A. slew them. Duryodhana abandoned his slain steed, and fled away without a companion, on foot towards a lake, taking up his mace. The Pāṇḍavas with A. baffled the purpose of the Kurus. In Duryodhana's army no great chariot-warrior was alive save Aśvatthāman, Kṛpa, and Kṛtavarman (IX, 29 ). When the sun had set, A., etc. (ε), started towards the lake (IX, 30 ). Yudhiṣṭhira in vain exhorted Duryodhana to come out from the lake and fight with Page083-b+ 63 them (IX, 31 ).—§ 613 (Gadāyuddh.), IX, 32—83: 33, 1890, 1921: Yudhiṣṭhira (though reproved by Kṛṣṇa) granted Duryodhana that if he could slay even one of the five Pāṇḍavas he would continue king (IX, 32 ); Bhīmasena undertook to encounter him with the mace (IX, 33 ).—§ 614 (do.), IX, 34 : Bala-Rāma ( b ) came to see the encounter.— § 615 (do.), IX, 35—65: 58, 3246; 61, 3416; 62, 3474, 3477: According to the proposal of Bala-Rāma, Yudhiṣṭhira, with his brothers and Duryodhana, proceeded to Samanta- pañcaka (IX, 55 ). A. inquires of Kṛṣṇa about the relative merits of the two combatants. Kṛṣṇa said that by fighting fairly Bhīma would never succeed in vanquishing Duryodhana. A. struck his own left thigh before the eyes of Bhīmasena, who understood the sign and fractured Duryodhana's thigh with his mace (IX, 58 ). Kṛṣṇa caused A. to take down the Gāṇḍīva and his inexhaustible quivers, and then to dismount; then Kṛṣṇa also dismounted; the celestial Ape on his standard disappeared, and the chariot (burnt by Droṇa and Karṇa with the Brāhma weapon) with its steeds, etc., was reduced to ashes. At Kṛṣṇa's suggestion the Pāṇḍavas and Sātyaki resolved to pass the night at a spot outside the camp, on the banks of the Oghavatī. They then despatched Kṛṣṇa to Hāstinapura in order to pacify the wrath of Gāndhārī and console her and Dhṛtarāṣṭra (IX, 62 ). Duryodhana induced Kṛpa to instal Aśvatthāman as the Kuru generalissimo; then they took leave of Duryodhana and left him alone (IX, 65 ).—§ 616 (Sauptikap.), X, 1—9: 4, 171; 9, 509: Aśvatthāman, Kṛpa, and Kṛtavarman murdered all who were present in the Pāṇḍava camp during the night. “ A. is incapable of being vanquished by D., As., G., Y., and Rā.” They went to Duryodhana and informed him; Duryodhana died (X, 9 ). —§ 617 (Aiṣīkap.), X, 10—18: 10, 550; 13, 652 ( satya- karmā ); 14, 670, 671; 15, 695, 696, 706: The Pāṇḍavas with Kṛṣṇa proceeded in the track of Bhīmasena and Nakula in pursuit of Aśvatthāman: Kṛṣṇa, A., and Yudhiṣṭhira on Kṛṣṇa's chariot. Aśvatthāman shot a celestial weapon “for the destruction of the Pāṇḍavas” (X, 13 ). Urged by Kṛṣṇa, A. shot the [Brāhma] weapon. Extraordinary omens appeared in nature; Nārada and Vyāsa, seeking to save the three worlds, stood between the two fires (X, 14 ). A. with- drew his weapon, but Aśvatthāman could not. Vyāsa praised A. for not having used the Brahmaśiras weapon before (X, 15 ). Kṛṣṇa said that Uttarā's son Parikṣit would be stillborn, but be brought to life by Kṛṣṇa, etc. Aśvatthāman's gem was placed upon Yudhiṣṭhira (X, 16 ).—§ 618 (Jala- pradānikap.), XI, 1—15: 15, 412: Dhṛtarāṣṭra resolved to visit the field of battle accompanied by the Kuru ladies (XI, 10 ). Yudhiṣṭhira and his brothers set out to meet Dhṛtarāṣṭra, accompanied by Kṛṣṇa, etc. (κ); they met the weeping ladies on the way (λ), and saluted Dhṛtarāṣṭra, who reluctantly embraced Yudhiṣṭhira and broke an iron statue of Bhīma (XI, 12 ). Commanded by Dhṛtarāṣṭra, the Pāṇḍava brothers proceeded with Kṛṣṇa to see Gāndhārī (XI, 14 ). A. moved away to the rear of Kṛṣṇa (XI, 15 ).—§ 619 (Strīvil.), XI, 16—25: 18, 540; 23, 660; 24, 684, 696: With the Pāṇḍavas and Kṛṣṇa and all the Kuru ladies Dhṛtarāṣṭra proceeded to the field of battle. The Pāñcāla and the Kuru ladies were plunged into unutterable distress (description). Gāndhārī cursed Kṛṣṇa. —§ 620 (Śrāddhap.), XI, 26—27: 27, 807: Urged by Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Yudhiṣṭhira ordered Sudharman, etc. (α), to cause the funeral rites of the slain (β) to be duly performed; they burnt them upon funeral pyres.

In course of the horse's wandering many great and wonderful battles were fought. The horse wandered over the whole earth; from the North it turned to the East; myriads of kings fought with A., because they had lost their kinsmen on the field of Kurukṣetra, the same did innumerable Kirātas, Yavanas, Mlecchas, and Āryas. 74 : The Trigartas attacked A., who in vain asked them to forbear; the Trigarta king Sūryavarman fought with A., who slew his younger brother Ketuvarman; then he fought Dhṛtavarman, was wounded in his hand and dropped the Gāṇḍīva, but took it up again and slew eighteen warriors; the Trigartas fled and accepted A.'s dominion. 75, 2188, 2190: In Prāgjyotiṣa, Bhagadatta's son king Vajradatta (description) attacked A. on his elephant, but, after a fierce battle— 76, 2195, 2197, 2207, 2208, 2209— during three days, he on the fourth day had his elephant slain, and promised to come to the horse-sacrifice. 77 : The Saindhavas seated on chariots attacked A., who was on foot, recollecting Jayadratha; omens appeared; the Gāṇḍīva fell down; the gods, etc., shouted “victory” to A., who once more used his bow; the Saindhavas fled. 78, 2265, 2273, 2280: The Saindhavas once more rallied; A. urged them to surrender, but in vain; then Duḥśalā, taking her grandson, the son of Suratha, in her arms, repaired to A.; A. cast off his bow, and asked after Suratha (the son of Jayadratha); she said that he had died from sorrow when he heard of A.'s arrival; A. comforted her; Duḥśalā asked her warriors to desist, and returned home; at last the horse arrived at Maṇipūra— 79, 2338—where Babhruvāhana, A.'s son by Citrāṅgadā, approached A. with humility; A. angrily blamed him for having fallen away from kṣattriya duties. Ulūpī pierced through the earth and beheld her [step-]son standing distressed, and incited him to fight A., which he did; he even caused the sacrificial horse to be seized; gravely wounded, A. praised his son highly; at last A. fell down in a swoon, and so did Babhruvāhana. 80, 2371: Citrāṅgadā lamented.

In Vaṅga, Puṇḍra, and Kośala A. vanquished innumerable Mleccha armies. 83 : A. proceeded towards the south.

Bhīma, however, reverenced the old king outwardly, but with a very unwilling heart. 3 : After fifteen years Dhṛtarāṣṭra, afflicted by the cutting words of Bhīma, asked Yudhiṣṭhira's permission for himself and Gāndhārī to retire to the woods clad in rags and barks in order to practise austerities; 10, 333, 346. 11 : Yudhiṣṭhira and A. applauded Dhṛtarāṣṭra's intention to perform the śrāddha of Bhīṣma, etc., before setting out for the woods; Bhīma was unwilling; A. sought to pacify him, seconded by Yudhiṣṭhira. 12, (382), 387, 392: A. urged Bhīma to forget the injuries of Duryodhana. 13, 403: Vidura reported the speeches of Yudhiṣṭhira, A., and Bhīma to Dhṛtarāṣṭra. 15, 434: When Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Gāndhārī set out with his daughters-in-law on the day of full-moon in the month of Kārttika, Yudhiṣṭhira and A. were filled with grief. 16, 455: Vidura and Sañjaya and Kuntī retired with Dhṛta- rāṣṭra and Gāndhārī into the woods; Dhṛtarāṣṭra caused Kṛpa and Yuyutsu to remain and made them over to Yudhiṣṭhira.— § 788 (do.), XV, 22 : Afflicted with grief, the Pāṇḍavas did not attend to their kingly offices; they set their heart upon seeing Dhṛtarāṣṭra, etc., and proceeded towards the forest. 23, 618, 628: Headed by A.

The Pāṇḍavas and the citizens all proceeded to Gaṅgā in order to offer oblations of water to them, etc.—§ 793 (Mausalap.), XVI, 4, †107: After the mutual slaughter at Dvārakā, Kṛṣṇa sent Dāruka to inform A. and tell him to come quickly; Kṛṣṇa, entering Dvāravatī, told his father to protect the ladies till A. came. Bala-Rāma and Kṛṣṇa died. 5, 135, 138: A. with Dāruka proceeded to Dvārakā; when Kṛṣṇa's 16,000 wives saw A., they uttered a loud cry. The city seemed to A. to be like the terrible river Vaitaraṇī.

Then he entered the hall of the Yādavas called Sudharmā ( sudharmāṃ yādavīṃ sabhāṃ ), where he told the citizens and ministers that he would take away with him the remnants of the Vṛṣṇis and Andhakas, as the sea would soon engulf the city, etc. A. passed that night in the mansion of Kṛṣṇa. At dawn Vasu- deva by yoga attained to the highest goal; his four wives ascended the funeral pyre. When A. had caused Vasudeva and his four wives to be burnt, he visited the place where the Vṛṣṇis had been slaughtered, and caused the last rites to be performed and Rāma and Kṛṣṇa to be burnt. On the seventh day he set out with the ladies and children, the Yādava troops and other inhabitants, with Kṛṣṇa's 16,000 wives, and Vajra; they numbered many millions in all; then the ocean flooded Dvārakā; they proceeded in slow marches; at Pañcanada the Ābhīras (Mlecchas) conspired to rob the cavalcade. A. only with great difficulty succeeded in stringing his bow. His celestial weapons would not come to his mind; the women were snatched away by the robbers; A.'s shafts soon became exhausted; formerly they had been inexhaustible. A. became very distressed; he escorted the remnant of the cavalcade to Kurukṣetra; he established the son of Kṛtavarman in the city of Mārttikāvata with the remnant of the women of the Bhoja king; the remainder, with children and old men and women, at Indraprastha with Vajra for their ruler; the son of Yuyudhāna (with old men, etc.) on the banks of the Sarasvatī, etc.; then A. entered the retreat of Vyāsa. 8, 254, 255, (261): A. informed Vyāsa of Page086-b+ 62 what had passed (ν) (“500,000 warriors have thus been laid down”).

Kṛpa was installed as the preceptor of Parikṣit. The subjects tried in vain to dissuade them; they and Draupadī divested them- selves of their ornaments and dressed in the barks of trees; then they threw their sacred fires into the water. Then they set out on their journey: the five Pāṇḍavas, Draupadī, and a dog; wandering towards the east they reached the sea of red water. Agni came (α) and caused A. to throw the Gāṇḍīva and his inexhaustible quiver into the water and thus restore them to Varuṇa. They now proceeded towards the south, etc., wishing to make a round of the whole earth. 2, 67: Having crossed Himavat, etc., Kṛṣṇā dropped down, in consequence of her partiality for A.; then Sahadeva, then Nakula, then A. fell down; A., because he had said that he would consume all the foes in a single day, but had not accomplished it. 3, 92: Yudhiṣṭhira's second test. —§ 795 (Svargārohaṇap.), XVIII, 1—3 : Yudhiṣṭhira's third test: 2, 36, 66. 4, [128: When arrived in heaven Yudhiṣṭhira saw there Govinda (Kṛṣṇa) in his Brāhma- form (description), adored by Phālguna (Arjuna)].—Cf. the following synonyms:— Aindri (“son of Indra”), q.v.

[ ID=801 ] - A Pandava prince, son of Indra and Kunti, and a central hero of the Mahabharata. *The Purana Index* > Arjuna (III) — a Pāṇḍava, son of Indra and Kuntī and father of Śrutakīrti. Had a son Irāvān by Ulūpi and another son Babruvāhana by the daughter of Maṇipurapati. Father of Abhimanyu by Subhadrā. 1 Promised Draupadī to cut off Aśvathāma's head and place it before her for his killing her sons when asleep. Aśvathāma heard this and ran for escape. Arjuna pursued him. Unwilling to slay the son of his preceptor, he bound him with ropes and took him to his queen's presence. She requested Arjuna to release him on the ground that he was a Brāhmaṇa, a son of the guru, and for the sake of his old mother Gautamī. Bhīma was not for the release. But Arjuna took the hint from Kṛṣṇa, and after depriving him of his crest-jewel, banished him. 2 Accompanied Yudhiṣṭhira to see Bhīṣma on the eve of his death. 3 A playmate of Kṛṣṇa. 4 Had a chariot with monkey standard. When he was once in the forest with Kṛṣṇa, they met Kālindī, daughter of the Sun god anxious to marry Kṛṣṇa. When Arjuna burnt Khāṇḍava, Kṛṣṇa was his charioteer. Drove away the princes who attacked Page1-108+ 46 Kṛṣṇa returning with Satyā of Kośala. 5 Commended by Indra to Kṛṣṇa's protection. 6 Consoled by Kṛṣṇa when banished to the forest. 7 A great name among the Kurus. 8 Joy at Kṛṣṇa's visit to Indraprastha. By burning the forest he released Maya and enjoyed Kṛṣṇa's company. Went to the eastern countries. Went again with Kṛṣṇa and Bhīma disguised as a Brāhmaṇa to Girivraja. Revealed himself before Jarāsandha who thought that he was not his equal. Returned after Jarāsandha's fall. 9 Entertained elders at the Rājasūya of Yudhisthira. On seeing the enemy's army in the battle-field, his teachers, kith and kin among them, he expressed to Kṛṣṇa his reluctance to fight them. Kṛṣṇa taught him the truth (Gītā), showed him his Viśvarūpa and roused him to action. He fought, Kṛṣṇa serving as charioteer. 10 Victory due to Kṛṣṇa. 11 Heard of Abhimanyu's death and vowed to kill Jaya- dratha the following day, which he did. 12 Was taken by Kṛṣṇa to Kailāsa where Śiva blessed him. Took part in the svayamvaram of Lakṣmaṇā. His arrow touched the fish target but did not hit it. 13 In the course of his pilgri- mage he heard at Prabhāsa that his uncle's daughter Subha- drā was being proposed by Balarāma to Duryodhana. He wished to marry her, and with this object spent four months in Dvāraka as Tridaṇḍī ascetic. At this time Rāma invited him one day for bhikṣā. When he and Subhadrā met, both exchanged their love by their eyes. On a day of festive occasion Subhadrā came out, when Arjuna carried her off in a chariot with the approval of Kṛṣṇa. Rāma protested but Kṛṣṇa pacified him. Finally Rāma sent presents to his sister. 14 On a visit to Syamantapañcaka. 15 Once a Brāhmaṇa of Dvāraka preferred a complaint during Kṛṣṇa's aśvamedha that his children died imme- diately after their birth. Arjuna offered to recover them Page1-109+ 45 for him, though Kṛṣṇa had his own doubt. Accompanying the Brāhmaṇa, Arjuna guarded the delivery room. The child was born and soon died. At this Arjuna went to Indra's place, and Yama's, and to the abodes of all gods, with the resolution to fall in a fire in case he did not rescue the child. Unable to recover it, Arjuna was about to plunge into the flames when Kṛṣṇa prevented him. He was taken to the abode of Nārāyaṇa and all the children were recovered. Returned to Dvārakā to attend Kṛṣṇa's aśvame- dha, after bringing joy to the Brāhmaṇa. 16 Other exploits of Arjuna were defeating Indra at Khāṇḍava, pleasing Śiva in Kirāta's disguise, and vanquishing Nivātakavacas. 17 Went once to Heaven to please Indra, when he slew single- handed 60,000 dānavas who obstructed yajñas. 18 Went to Dvārakā to see his relations. Was advised to take Yādavas to Indraprastha as Dvārakā was about to be swallowed by the sea. Performed the last rites to the dead in Dvārakā, and took the remainder to his place. Was defeated by rob- bers and Ābhiras after the departure of Kṛṣṇa to Heaven. Informed Yudhiṣṭhira of Kṛṣṇa's departure to Heaven and of his great sorrow, and also of the almost end of the Yādava stock. Crowned Vajra king. 19 Arjuna knew and realised the māyā of Hari. 20 Observed the Ādityaśayanam vow. Visited the Vāmana temple at Kurukṣetra during his tīrtha- yātrā and asked Śaunaka to narrate the circumstances of that Avatār after Vārāha. 21 Was asked by Vyāsa to per- form penance expelling death. 22 Put down the prowess of Kārtavīrya by the curse of Āpava. 23 Known as Pārtha, Dhanamjaya, Jiṣṇu.

The gods and ṛṣis asked Viṣṇu to kill him. On his celestial vimāna. Page068-a+ 63 Arjuna affronted Indra, when he was sporting with Śaśī. After having held a consultation with Indra, Viṣṇu went to his hermitage Badarī (for continuation v. Jamadagni), 10135 ( Haihayādhipatiḥ ), 10140.—§ 397 (Jamadagni): III, 116 : Once, when the sons of Jamadagni had gone out, Arjuna Kārtavīrya, the lord of the country near the sea-shore ( Anūpapatiḥ ), came to the hermitage, and, being received hospitably by Reṇukā (the wife of Jamadagni), carried off the calf of the homadhenu and pulled down the trees. As Jamadagni told Rāma this, Rāma rushed towards Arjuna, and cut down his 1,000 arms with his arrows, and killed him. The heirs of Arjuna came while Rāma was away, and shot Jamadagni to death with their arrows. When they had gone away Rāma returned to the hermitage (III, 116 ), 10195.— § 398 (Paruśa-Rāma): III, 117 : After having lamented for and cremated his father, Rāma vowed the slaughter of the entire kṣattriya caste, killed Kārtavīrya's sons, etc.—§ 638 b (Rāmop.): XII, 49 : Meanwhile the virtuous kṣattriya, the Haihaya king Arjuna Kārtavīrya, with 1,000 arms through the grace of Dattātreya, having subjugated the whole earth with its mountains and seven islands, became a powerful emperor, and gave away the earth to the brahmans in a horse-sacrifice. Solicited by Agni, he once gave alms to that deity, who sprung from the point of his shaft, i.e. Agni burnt villages, etc., and he burnt also the retreat of Āpava (= Vasiṣṭha), who cursed Arjuna, saying that Rāma should lop off his arms. Always devoted to peace, always regardful of brahmans, etc., Arjuna did not mind that curse. His sons, always haughty and cruel, seized and brought away the calf of Jamadagni's homa- cow, without the knowledge of Arjuna. Rāma lopped off the arms of Arjuna and brought back the calf; the sons of Arjuna came and slew Jamadagni in the absence of Rāma, who vowed to free the earth of kṣattriyas, and slaughtered all the sons and grandsons of Arjuna, and 1,000 Haihayas, and freed the earth of all kṣattriyas, etc., 1750 ( Kṛtavīryātmajo, Haiha- yādhipaḥ ), 1757, 1758, 1759, 1763, 1764 ( °sya sutāḥ ).— § 772 b (Pavanārjunas.): XIII, 153 ff : The Haihaya king Arjuna Kārtavīrya with 1,000 arms became the lord of this whole world (i.e. the earth), residing in Māhiṣmatī; he gave large gifts to Dattātreya, who granted him four boons: that he should have 1,000 arms in battle, but only two at home; that he should subjugate the whole earth righteously; and reign with vigilance; and that whenever he might happen to go wrong, the righteous should set him right. A. now regarded himself as having no equal. An invisible voice said that the brahman is superior to the kṣattriya; A. maintained that the brahmans take refuge with the kṣattriyas; “I shall bring the skin-clad brahmans under my sway.” Vāyu (Wind) warned A., addressing him from the air, etc. At last Arjuna praised the brahmans, mentioning Dattātreya. Vāyu told him always to protect them; “a terrible danger threatens thee from the Bhṛgus; that will take place after a time,” 7186 ( Arjunasya saṃvādaṃ Pavanasya ca ), (7199), 7207, (7211); 154, 7225; 157, 7291, 7305; 158, 7326, 7349, (7350).—§ 782 c (Brāhmaṇagītā): XIV, 29, 818, (822): The 1,000 armed king Kārtavīryārjuna conquered the whole earth with his bow; once he showered hundreds of arrows at the ocean. The ocean asked him to desist, as he injured the creatures in the waters; Arjuna asked if there existed any bowman who was his equal in shooting. The Ocean named Rāma Jāmadagnya. Arjuna came and began to trouble him; Rāma burnt his troops and prostrated him with his battle- Page068-b+ 63 axe and drove away his kinsmen to the mountain fastnesses; their progeny became Vṛṣalas owing to their inability to find brahmans: so the Draviḍas, etc. Cf.

Lord of seven islands and of Haihayaṣ, Samrāṭ and Cakravartin. By the grace of Hari he got 1000 arms and enjoyed aṣṭa- aiśvaryas. Learnt the merit of yoga from Dattātreya. Ruled in peace for 85,000 years 1 and was ambitious to have more territorial possessions. 2 Was engaged in water-sports with women wearing the garland of Vaijayanti. 3 Imprisoned Rāvaṇa in his capital Māhiṣmatī and released him on an appeal from Pulasya. 4 In the course of a hunting expedi- tion, he came to the hermitage of Jamadagni who enter- tained him with the help of his Kāmadhenu. The king, envious of the sage's prosperity, desired its possession, and on being refused by the sage, he took the cow by force. 5 Parasurāma who was away, heard the story on his return, went to Arjuna's capital, cut off his head with his axe after a terrible battle in which Matsyarāja took part and recovered the cow and the calf. 6 Jamadagni regretted his son's action as the king was a Naradeva, and killing him was an offence greater than brāhmanicide. 7 Had 1000 (?) sons, (100 sons) all of whom except five died in battles. These sons killed Jamadagni when Rāma and his brothers were gone out. 8 These five were great warriors. 9 His minister was the evil Candragupta and the Purohita, Garga. 10 Incarnation of Viṣṇu Cakra; 11 to his family belonged Tālajaṅgha; 12 performed thousands of yajñas with golden yūpas and vedis, which were attended by gods.

Could control the waters of the Narmadā and the fury of the ocean: a terror to Asuras in Pātāla as also to Rākṣasas and Uragas. Defeated Rāvaṇa and released Page1-107+ 40 him at the intervention of Pulastya: burnt down the Hema- tālavanam, residence of Āpava and was cursed that a Bhār- gava and a Brāhmaṇa would chop off his 1000 hands. 14 A gātha in his honour by Nārada. 14(a Once Āditya in the guise of a Brāhmaṇa asked to be fed at the expense of all im- mobile things (sthāvara) in the world and it was granted.
