janya and A. bent the Gāṇḍīva, the Kurus fell down on the ground. The protectors of Jayadratha attacked Kṛṣṇa and A. (VII, 103). A. fought Bhūriçravas, etc. (μ), (and blew the Devadatta), Duryodhana, Açvatthāman (VII, 104), and slew many chariot-warriors. A.’s standard bore the sign of an ape with fierce face and tail like that of the lion (ν) (VII, 105). Yudhishṭhira heard the blare of Pāñcajanya and thought A. to be in distress; he requested Sātyaki to go to A. and bring him intelligence of his safety; A. had said in the Draita wood to Yudhishṭhira, “even if Kṛṣṇa, etc. (σ), assists us, I shall yet appoint Sātyaki for our aid, since there is none equal to him,” and Yudhishṭhira had witnessed his reverence for A. at Dvārakā, after his return from the tīrthas, etc.; “the day is about to end”; Pradyumna and Sātyaki are equal to A. in bravery (VII, 110). Sātyaki hesitated to comply with Yudhishṭhira’s request on the ground of a counter-command by A.; “the Sauvirakas, etc. (τ), D., As., men, Rā., K., M.-U., etc., cannot cope with A. in battle” (VII, 111). Sātyaki agreed to obey Yudhishṭhira’s order; “the distance from here is 3 yojanas”; he would crush the elephants of the Añjana breed mounted by Mlecchas (named Rukmarathas), who at Karṇa’s command had returned from the pursuit of A. and were waiting for Sātyaki, and likewise crush those 700 elephants mounted by Kirātas (φ) and formerly given by the Kirāta king to A. (VII, 112). Yuyudhāna proceeded towards the chariot of A.

(VII, 120). Yudhishṭhira was anxious because he had not obtained any news of A. and Sātyaki, and thought of sending Bhīma after Sātyaki; Bhīma penetrated to Arjuna, making his presence known by a roar; A. and Kṛṣṇa uttered loud roars in return; Yudhishṭhira understood that all was safe, and recalled A.’s feats (ππ) (VII, 128). A. bent the Gāṇḍīva, and Kṛṣṇa blew the Pāñcajanya (VII, 129). Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujas proceeded towards A. (VII, 130). Bhīma was attacked by Karṇa; Kṛṣṇa and A. became anxious for Bhīma (VII, 132). Bhīma gladdened A., etc. (ψψ) (VII, 136). Bhīma’s weapons being exhausted, he fled away from Karṇa and defended himself with the bodies of the elephants slain by A.; but, recollecting A.’s vow, he did not take the life of Karṇa; and Karṇa, recollecting his promise to Kuntī, did not take the life of Bhīma; A. then turned Karṇa and then Açvatthāman to flight (VII, 139). Sātyaki slew the steeds of Duḥçāsana, gladdening A. and Kṛṣṇa (VII, 140). Sātyaki approached A., who was anxious for Yudhishṭhira (eee) (VII, 141). As Sātyaki succumbed to Bhūriçravas, A., urged by Kṛṣṇa, cut off one of the arms of Bhūriçravas (VII, 142). Bhūriçravas rebuked A. (ηηη); A. justified his conduct (θθθ). Bhūriçravas (δ) desired to die in prāya (description); he acknowledged the justice of A.’s plea, and was blessed by Kṛṣṇa and A. (ιι). Though forbidden by A., etc. (κκκ), Sātyaki slew Bhūriçravas sitting in prāya (VII, 143). A. proceeded to Jayadratha’s chariot;

Duryodhana (λλλ), encountered A. Duryodhana prevailed upon Jayadratha (ννν); A. deprived Karṇa of his charioteer. A. invoked the Varuṇa weapon; great carnage (VII, 145). A. employed (description). A. cut off Jayadratha’s head; his charioteer; Jayadratha was killed by chariot-warriors. Kṛṣṇa possessed yoga power, so that all, the sun was set, and he urged A. without delay; A. caused the abandoned Jayadratha in fear and fled away; Kṛṣṇa again urged A. to cut off Jayadratha’s head without delay, telling him about the curse of Jayadratha’s father Vṛddhakshattra (g), who was still engaged in penances outside Samantapañcaka; therefore A. should make the head fall upon the lap of Vṛddhakshattra himself, lest A.’s head should crack into 100 pieces; this A. did, and as the head fell down from Vṛddhakshattra’s lap the latter’s head split into 100 pieces. Kṛṣṇa then withdrew the darkness he had created; Kṛṣṇa and A. blew their conchs, etc.; A. fought with many mighty chariot-warriors (VII, 146); Kṛpa (at whose death-like swoon A. grieved), Açvatthāman (who fled), Karṇa; Kṛṣṇa told A. to avoid Karṇa, because the latter was still in possession of the lance that Indra had given him. “In this world there are only three mighty archers, Kṛṣṇa, A., and Sātyaki,” said Sañjaya (VII, 147). Bhīma tried to induce A. to permit him to slay Karṇa; A. vowed to slay Karṇa’s son Vṛṣasena in his presence. Kṛṣṇa congratulated A. (φφφ), who attributed the victory to Kṛṣṇa; Kṛṣṇa pointed out to A.
c5.s1.573.4
the results of that day’s battle (VII, 148). Kṛṣṇa and A. congratulated Yudhishṭhira (ψψψ) (VII, 149). A fierce battle ensued (VII, 152).—§ 600 (Ghaṭotkacavadhap.), VII, 153–183: THE NIGHT COMBAT AFTER THE FOURTEENTH DAY: 159, 7024, 7044, 7049, 7107; 164, 7325, 7346, 7350; 165, 7371; 167, 7479, 7502, 7503, 7505, 7508; 170, 7660, 7661; 171, 7704, 7705, 7706, 7707, 7709; 172, 7760; 181, (8213); 182, 8275; 183, 8298 : A dreadful battle took place between the Pāñcālas and the Kauravas (VII, 153); A., etc. (θ), fought with Droṇa (VII, 154); do.; Duryodhana urged Çakuni to proceed against A. together with Karṇa, etc. (κ) (VII, 156). Drupada’s division, which fled before Droṇa, was rallied by A. and Bhīma, followed by the Kaikayas, etc. (σ) (VII, 157). Karṇa vowed to slay A., etc. (ν) (VII, 158). Açvatthāman, etc. (ββ), fought with A. in order to rescue Karṇa; A. slew the steeds and driver of Karṇa, etc.; Duryodhana fought with A.; Krpa urged Açvatthāman to proceed against A.; he made Duryodhana desist from an encounter with A. (VII, 159). A. slew the Yaudheyas, etc. (ξξ); the Pāñcālas fled, but were rallied by Bhīma and A.; the Kauravas fled (VII, 161). Kṛṣṇa told Yudhishṭhira not to fight with Droṇa, he should go to Duryodhana, A., and Bhīma (VII, 162). Duryodhana commanded his troops to take up lighted lamps and torches (VII, 163). “Karṇa will vanquish A., etc.,” said Droṇa; A. fought against the Kauravas (VII, 164). Alambusha fought with A. (VII, 165). A.
c5.s1.573.5
vanquished Alambusha and attacked Droṇa (VII, 167). A battle ensued (description) (VII, 169); the Gāṇḍīva and the rattle of A.’s chariot were heard; Duryodhana despatched Çakuni against A. (VII, 170). A. deprived Çakuni of his chariot, etc.; Kṛṣṇa and A. blew their conchs (VII, 171). The Pāṇḍava host fled; A. and Kṛṣṇa rallied the retreating troops (σσ) (VII, 172). Dhṛshṭadyumna was deprived of his chariot by Karṇa, and ascended the chariot of A. A. and Kṛṣṇa and Yudhishṭhira conversed about Karṇa; A. asked Kṛṣṇa to proceed towards Karṇa. Kṛṣṇa said that none except A. and Ghaṭotkaca could encounter him; but A. must not do it as long as he retained the lance presented by Indra; “but Ghaṭotkaca will vanquish Karṇa.” They prevailed upon Ghaṭotkaca to encounter Karṇa (ηη) (VII, 173). Ghaṭotkaca slew Alambusha and fought with Karṇa (VII, 174). Kṛṣṇa urged A. to proceed in Bhīma’s wake and resist Droṇa’s division (VII, 177). A. shot many Kṣattriyas (VII, 178).
