6.43

rakṣogaṇaṃ krodhavaśā svanāmānam ajījanat
daṃṣṭriṇāṃ niyutaṃ teṣāṃ bhīmasenādagātkṣayam //

Note.—Jañmejaya was the son of King Parikṣita. The latter was bitten by a serpent and died in consequence. Jañmejaya, therefore, to avenge his father's death, performed a great sacrifice to consume all the serpents in which a large number of them was destroyed. From his wife, Krodhavaśâ, Kaśyapa had a race of Krodhavaśâ demons, numbering a million who were ultimately killed by Bhîmasena—a hero of Mahâbhârata.—43.
