2.33

teṣāṃ jaghanyo dharmātmā vedavedāṅgapāragaḥ /
upayeme sa tāṃ tārkṣoṃ kandharānumate śubhām //

And Mandapāla had four sons of boundless intellect, Jaritārī the eldest and Droṇa the youngest, best of dvijas. The youngest of them, righteous in soul, thoroughly read in the Vedas and Vedāṅgas, married her the beauteous Tārkṣī, with the consent of Kandhara. And after a while Tārkṣī conceived; when she had gone seven fortnights in her pregnancy, she went to Kurukṣetra. The very terrible battle between the Kurus and Paṇḍavas was then being fought, and, in consequence of her action being predestined, she entered into the battle. There, then, she beheld the contest between Bhagadatta and Arjuna. The sky was thick filled with arrows, as if with locusts. Discharged from the bow of Arjuna an arrow, black as a serpent, fell with great force and pierced the skin of her belly. Her belly being pierced, four moon-like eggs fell on the ground as if on a heap of cotton, from the fact that their allotted period of life was not ended. At the same time that they fell, fell the great bell, the cord of which was cut by an arrow, from the noble elephant Snpratīka. It reached the ground evenly all around, cutting into the surface of the ground, and covering the eggs of the bird which lay upon flesh.
