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 Bhīshma, etc., were all on the eve of death, if they did not give up to Yudhishṭhira 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, 2924; 90, 3156, 3209, 3210: A. and Yudhishṭhira were averse to war, and d. told Kṛṣṇa to exert himself sincerely to bring about peace; if, however, Duryodhana would not do what they demanded, he would annihilate the Kurus.
