1.166.2

sa kadācidvanaṃ rājā mṛgayāṃ niryayau purāt |
mṛgānvidhyanvarāhāṃśca cacāra ripumardanaḥ || 2 ||

"The Gandharva continued, 'There was, O Partha, a king in this world, named Kalmashapada, who was of the race of Ikshvaku and was unequalled on earth for prowess. One day the king went from his capital into the woods for purposes of hunting, and this grinder of foes pierced (with his arrows) many deer and wild boars. And in those deep woods the king also slew many rhinoceroses. Engaged in sport for some length of time, the monarch became very much fatigued and at last he gave up the chase, desiring to rest awhile.
