In the lake they saw two terrible snakes; when they had uttered the Brahma Çatarudriya, the snakes assumed the forms of a bow and arrow; from Çiva's body there came out a brahmacārin with blue throat and red locks, and having showed *A.* the use of the bow and arrow and the mantras, he sped these weapons to that same lake. Having thus once more obtained the Pāçupata weapon, *A.* and Kṛṣṇa came back to their own camp (VII, 81).—§ 597 (do.), VII, 82-84: *Fourteenth day*: 83, 2958, 2969, 2970; 84, 2975, 2977, 2982, 2983, 2995, 2998: Yudhishṭhira underwent his morning rites (*very copious description*); Kṛṣṇa visited Yudhishṭhira (VII, 82). Then also Virāṭa, etc. (α), arrived. Yudhishṭhira asked Kṛṣṇa to rescue the Pāṇḍavas, quoting Nārada. Kṛṣṇa assured Yudhishṭhira of Arjuna's success (VII, 83). *A.* came and acquainted Yudhishṭhira with his dream, then he and Kṛṣṇa and Yuyudhāna (these two on one chariot) set out for *A.*'s pavilion. Kṛṣṇa equipped *A.*'s chariot (which had previously been sanctified with mantras), which *A.* circumambulated with his bow and arrow in hand. *A.*, Yuyudhāna, and Kṛṣṇa mounted the chariot. Many and auspicious omens appeared. *A.* charged Yuyudhāna to protect Yudhishṭhira in his absence (only he or Pradyumna was able to do it). Yuyudhāna proceeded to Yudhishṭhira (VII, 84).—§ 598 (Jayadrathavadhap.), VII, 85-88: 85, 3047, 3053, 3056; 86, 3082; 87, 3095:
