The Pāṇḍava army was arranged after the form of a half-moon; *A.* in the middle (ω); Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujas became the protectors of *A.*'s chariot-wheels (VIII, 11). *A.* fought with the Saṃṣaptakas (VIII, 13, 16) and Aṣvatthāman (VIII, 16). The Kaliṅga, Vaṅga, and Nishāda heroes fought with a division of elephants, which was broken by *A.*. *A.* not to spare Aṣvatthāman, who was protecting his steeds; Kṛṣṇa and *A.* proceeded against the enemy (VIII, 17). Urged by Kṛṣṇa, *A.* slew Daṇḍadhāra (lord of Girivraja) and his brother Daṇḍa; *A.* slew Saṃcaptakas (VIII, 18). *A.* slew Ugrāyudha's son; *A.* slew the remnant of the Saṃcaptakas in slaying Karṇa.
