c5.s1.571.4

Kṛṣṇa went to *A.*'s abode and consoled Subhadrā (mentioning the kshatriya 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 Çiva. 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 Rṣabha note, he should come to Kṛṣṇa (VII, 79). *A.* saw Kṛṣṇa in a dream, who told him not to grieve, and mentioned the Pāçupata weapon (with which Çiva 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 Çiva. At the Brāhma hour *A.* saw himself sojourning through the sky (Himavat, Maṇimat, frequented by Si. and Cā., etc. (η)), with Kṛṣṇa, to where Çiva was seated with Pārvatī (description) (θ); Kṛṣṇa and *A.* praised Mahādeva (VII, 80). *A.* beheld the offerings that Çiva made every night to Kṛṣṇa, and he mentally adored both Kṛṣṇa and Çiva. Çiva told them to bring Çiva's bow and arrow from a lake of amṛta.
