not see Yudhiṣṭhira (VIII, 21). *A.* fought the Trigartas, etc. (λλ), slew king Catruñjaya, and Suçruta's son and wounded Suçarman; all the Samçaptakas attacked *A.*, who invoked the Aindra weapon (description); the hostile army fled away almost entirely (VIII, 27). Karṇa slaughtered the Pāñcālas, *A.* the Trigartas, etc., when the sun had passed the meridian (VIII, 28). In the afternoon *A.* and Kṛṣṇa (having said their daily prayers and worshipped Bhava) destroyed the Kurus; *A.* fought Duryodhana, Açvatthāman, Karṇa. At the close of the day both armies withdrew; Rā. and Pṛ., etc., came (VIII, 30). Dhṛtarāṣṭra exalted the prowess of *A.* (oo). Karṇa assured Duryodhana that he would slay *A.* next day; at dawn he repeated his pledge: " *A.* is superior to me only by having Kṛṣṇa, the creator of the universe, for his charioteer, the chariot given him by Agni, his steed, and his standard with the ape." He wanted Çalya ("who is superior to Kṛṣṇa") as his charioteer (VIII, 31).—§ 606 (do.), VIII, 36-45: 36, 1688; 37, †1722, †1728, †1735, †1740, †1741, †1745; 38, 1756, 1757, 1758, 1760, 1763, 1766, 1768, 1771, 1774; 39, 1791, †1794, †1796, †1797, †1798, 1806; 40, 1818, 1829; 41, 1958, 1960, 1961; 42, 1962; 45, 2111: When the morning came, Duryodhana prevailed upon Çalya to become Karṇa's charioteer. Karṇa told Çalya to urge the steeds that he might slay *A.*, etc. (β) (VIII, 36). Karṇa boasted (γ); Çalya ridiculed him and praised *A.* (δ).
c5.s1.575.2
Karṇa proceeded on his chariot and inquired after *A.* (VIII, 37), promising every Pāṇḍava soldier that he who pointed out to him *A.* would receive whatever wealth he desired (VIII, 38). Çalya said that Karṇa would have a sight of *A.* without troubling to make a search, and asked him to abandon his desire for a single combat with *A.* (VIII, 39). Karṇa said that Kṛṣṇa and *A.* were well known to him but did not inspire him with fright; notwithstanding the curse of Paraçu-Rāma he would slay *A.*; he would employ the Brāhma weapon, which *A.* would never be able to escape, if only the wheels of Karṇa's chariot did not sink into the earth that day according to the brahman's curse whose homa-cow's calf he had inadvertently struck (VIII, 42).—§ 608 (do.), VIII, 46-96: THE SEVENTEENTH DAY'S BATTLE: 46, 2130, 2132, 2152, 2154, 2161, 2177, 2193, 2197, 2199, 2201, 2206; 47, 2212, 2217, 2219; 50, 2415, 2421; 53, 2574, 2598, 2604; 56, 2774, 2784, 2801, 2810, 2828; 57, 2849; 58, 2857, 2858, 2894, 2898, 2903; 59, 2955, 2966, 2970; 60, 3055, 3063; 61, 3079; 62, 3142; 63, 3198; 64, 3219, 3223, 3230, 3231, 3240, 3241, 3272; 65, †3292, 3307; 66, 3309, 3317, 3335; 68, 3386; 70, 3483; 70, 3492, 3515; 71, 3562; 72, 3634; 74, 3791, 3803; 78, 3842, 3859, 3874, 3875, 3876, 3878, 3879, 3881; 837, 4066, 4067, 4068, 4072, 4075, 4145, 4146, 4157, 4159, 4161; 4329, 4340, 4347; 86, 4349, 4415, 4416, 4421, 4423, 4476, 4479; 88, 4505; 86, 4539, 4559, 4591;

4658, 4662, 4664, 4667, 4670, 4671, 4672, 4675, 4685, 4688, 4690, 4696, 4698, 4701, 4715, 4718, 4720, 4725, 4731, 4736, 4741; 91, 4766, 4780, 4807, 4811, 4816; 92, 4819, 4826, 4829; 93, 4834, 4851, 4867; 94, 4905, 4919, 4947, 4956, 4960; 95, 4977; 96, 4990, 4992, 4997, 5008, 5016, 5027: Yudhiṣṭhira spoke to *A.* of the hostile army; *A.* should proceed against Karṇa, etc.; Çalya pointed out to Karṇa the chariot of *A.* (δ). *A.*'s chariot of which Agni Vaiçvānara, the first (pūrvaḥ), the brahmán, Indu (i.e. Soma), had become the steeds, [and] that was originally (prathamam) born from him, [that chariot] the gods and the brahmans knew; which had in days of old borne Brahmán, Īçāna (i.e. Çiva), Indra, and Varuṇa; riding on that primeval (ādyam) chariot, Keçava (i.e. Kṛṣṇa) and *A.* now proceeded to battle with white steeds. How the Samçaptakas threatened to slay *A.*, etc.; Çalya dissuaded Karṇa from trying to slay *A.* (VIII, 46). *A.* arrayed his troops, headed by Dhṛṣṭadyumna (with steeds white like pigeons); by the side of Dhṛṣṭadyumna were the Draupadeyas. *A.* fought tho Samçaptakas (VIII, 47). *A.* fought the Samçaptakas, etc. (ηη); *A.* fought Suçarman; *A.* repeatedly invoked the Nāga weapon, paralyzing the legs (encircled with snakes) of the Samçaptakas; Suçarman invoked the Sauparṇa weapon; birds came down and devoured the snakes; *A.* sat down, recovered, and invoked the Aindra weapon; the battle became awful (VIII, 53). *A.* fought the Samçaptakas;
c5.s1.575.4
he addressed Kṛṣṇa upon beholding Karṇa's (θ) prowess, and as the Samçaptakas were defeated (when the sun had ascended the meridian), *A.* pierced through the Kuru host. Duryodhana once more urged the Samçaptakas against him. Having slain 10,000 kshattriyas, *A.* came to the further wing of the Samçaptakas, which was protected by the Kāmbojas; the younger brother of the Kāmboja chief Sudakṣiṇa was slain by *A.*; the Kāmbojas, etc. (ττ), were slain. *A.* fought Açvatthāman; Si. and Cā. arrived; Kṛṣṇa urged *A.* not to spare Açvatthāman, who swooned away and was borne away by his charioteer; *A.* slaughtered the Kuru troops, etc. (VIII, 58). *A.* pointed out to Kṛṣṇa that the Pāṇḍava army was fleeing before Karṇa, and that Yudhiṣṭhira was nowhere to be seen; "the third part of the day still remains." *A.* proceeded to Yudhiṣṭhira; Kṛṣṇa described the field of battle to *A.* (γγ). A terrible battle ensued (VIII, 58). A remnant only of the Samçaptakas were left unslaughtered. Dhṛṣṭadyumna was worsted by Açvatthāman and rescued by *A.*; *A.* proceeded towards the Samçaptakas (VIII, 59). Kṛṣṇa pointed out to *A.* that Yudhiṣṭhira was being pursued by many Dhārtarāṣṭras and was in great danger; Karṇa would soon come against *A.* and was protected by Duryodhana; he should be slain. *A.* then destroyed the remnant of his foes; the Samçaptakas fled (VIII, 60). *A.* fought against Açvatthāman (VIII, 61). *A.* appeared (VIII, 62). Çalya exhorted Karṇa to fight with *A.*, but in vain;
c5.s1.575.5
he once more reminded Karṇa of *A.*, etc. (ηη) (VIII, 63). *A.* fought with Açvatthāman; Açvatthāman employed the Aindra weapon, which *A.* neutralized with a mighty weapon created by Indra; at last Açvatthāman was borne away by his steeds. The Sṛñjayas called upon *A.* and Kṛṣṇa. *A.* spoke to Kṛṣṇa about Karṇa; Kṛṣṇa asked him first to find Yudhiṣṭhira (VIII, 64). *A.* met with Bhima and asked him to bring intelligence of Yudhiṣṭhira; but they agreed that *A.* should go to Yudhiṣṭhira while Bhima should resist the Samçaptakas. *A.* and Kṛṣṇa found Yudhiṣṭhira lying on his bed (VIII, 65). *A.* swore to slay Karṇa and all the foes that day (VIII, 67). Yudhiṣṭhira censured *A.*, thinking that he had run away from the battle leaving Bhīma unsupported (λλλ), several times invoking him to give up the Gāṇḍīva to somebody else (VIII, 68). *A.* drew his sword in order to strike off Yudhiṣṭhira's head in fulfilment of his vow regarding the person who would tell him to give up the Gāṇḍīva (μμμ); Kṛṣṇa addressed *A.* on the nature of truth (vvv); *A.* said he must keep his vow (ξξξ); Kṛṣṇa suggested that *A.*, by insulting Yudhiṣṭhira, by addressing him with "thou," would be regarded as having slain him (ooo) (VIII, 69). Urged by Kṛṣṇa, *A.* insulted Yudhiṣṭhira in a long speech (πππ); then he became despondent and desired to cut off his own head; Kṛṣṇa urged him to utter his own praises, as self-praise was equal to self-destruction.
c5.s1.575.6
*A.* praised himself (ppp) and asked for Yudhiṣṭhira's forgiveness, promising to slay Karṇa and rescue Bhīma. Kṛṣṇa induced him to forgive both himself and *A.* (ooo) (VIII, 70). Speeches of Kṛṣṇa, *A.*, and Yudhiṣṭhira on the same topic (τττ) (VIII, 71). *A.* proceeded to slay Karṇa, having obtained Yudhiṣṭhira's leave; Kṛṣṇa addressed *A.* in order to raise his spirits (vvv) (VIII, 72); continuation (vvv) (VIII, 73). *A.*'s cheerful reply to Kṛṣṇa (ψψψ) (VIII, 74). Sañjaya related: *A.* slew many (VIII, 75). Bhīma said to his charioteer Viṣoka that he was anxious about *A.* and Yudhiṣṭhira; Viṣoka pointed out to Bhīma that *A.* was returning to battle (www) (VIII, 76). *A.* and Bhīma attacked the Kaurava army (description) (VIII, 77). *A.* produced a river of blood (description). Requested by *A.* (§), Kṛṣṇa brought him to Karṇa; Duryodhana attacked *A.*; *A.* vanquished Acvatthāman, Kṛpa, and Kṛtavarman; Cikhaṇḍin, etc. (ζ), proceeding towards *A.*, checked the foes (VIII, 79). *A.*, avoiding Karṇa, proceeded to the rescue of Bhīma; he informed Bhīma that Yudhiṣṭhira was well; he slew ten sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra (VIII, 80). *A.* was assailed by ninety Saṃcaptakas as he was proceeding towards Karṇa's chariot; he slew them; so also many Kauravas and a force of Mlecchas, mounted on 1,800 elephants under the command of Duryodhana. Bhīma rushed towards *A.*, and destroyed a small unslaughtered remnant of the Kauravas; then he followed *A.* in his rear (VIII, 81).
c5.s1.575.7
Kṛṣṇa urged *A.* to slay Karṇa; *A.* proceeded with Bhīmasena (VIII, 82). Bhīmasena took up a little of Duḥçāsana's blood and drank it (μ), addressing Kṛṣṇa and *A.*, and vowing soon to slay Duryodhana (VIII, 83). Urged by Bhīma and Nakula, *A.* proceeded towards Vṛṣasena (VIII, 84). *A.* slew Karṇa's son Vṛṣasena, and threatened to slay Karṇa, as Bhīma would slay Duryodhana; *A.* attacked Karṇa (VIII, 85); Kṛṣṇa addressed *A.* (τ); *A.*'s reply (v) (VIII, 86); description of *A.* and Karṇa (φ); As., Yātndhānas, Gh., etc., sided with Karṇa; the Vedas, etc. (χ), took the side of *A.*; the smaller snakes all sided with Karṇa; V., M., Sā., R., V.-D., A., and Agni, etc. (χ), sided with *A.*, while all Ā. sided with Karṇa; the Vaiçyas, etc. (ψ), sided with Karṇa; P., etc. (χ), with *A.*; the Pretas, Pç., Rā., etc., with Karṇa; D.-†, B.-†, R.-†, with *A.*, as also G. headed by Tumburu. With the Prādhoyas and Mauneyas, G., and Aps., and many wise sages, having wolves for their vehicles, came to witness the encounter that was also witnessed by D., Dā., G., N., Y., etc., M.-†, P. (subsisting upon Svadha), etc., and Brahmán with B.-†, and Prajāpatis, and Bhava. Indra wished that *A.* should vanquish Karṇa; Sūrya, that Karṇa should vanquish *A.*; the gods urged Brahmán that the success of both should be equal, Indra that *A.* and Kṛṣṇa should win; Brahmán and Īçāna (i.e. Çiva) said that the victory of *A.* was certain (w): "let Karṇa obtain identity with V.
c5.s1.575.8
or M., let him be worshipped in heaven with Droṇa and Bhīshma." Indra acquiesced by their words. Description of Karṇa's and *A.*'s chariots; the ape on *A.*'s banner attacked the elephant's rope on Karṇa's banner. Kṛṣṇa and Çalya darted keen glances at each other, and so did *A.* and Karṇa. Çalya said that he would slay both Kṛṣṇa and *A.* if Karṇa was slain; Kṛṣṇa said that Karṇa could not slay *A.*; otherwise, the destruction of the universe would be at hand, and he would himself slay Karṇa and Çalya. *A.* said that day the wives of Karṇa would become widows (aa) (VIII, 87). In the welkin D., N., As., Si., Y., G., Rā., Aps., and B.-†, etc., looked on. The battle commenced. *A.* defeated Duryodhana, etc. (VIII, 88); description of the battle between *A.* and Karṇa; *A.* employed an Āgneya weapon, which was neutralized by Karṇa with a Vāruṇa weapon by means of clouds, which was in its turn dispelled by *A.* by means of a Vāyavya weapon; *A.* employed the Aindra weapon (? *dayitam devarājñaḥ*; *Mahendrasyāstram*), Karṇa the Bhārgava weapon. Seeing *A.*'s weapons neutralized by Karṇa, Bhīma (ae) and Kṛṣṇa (α) urged *A.* to put forth his strength. *A.* bowed to Brahmán and invoked the Brāhma weapon, which could be applied by the mind alone; Karṇa neutralized it; urged by Bhīma, *A.* applied a second Brāhma weapon, which caused a great carnage among the Kaurava troops (description). *A.* shot at Karṇa and Çalya and slew Sabhāpati, etc.
c5.s1.575.9
The Kauravas urged Karṇa to slay *A.* Yudhiṣṭhira appeared in order to witness the encounter. *A.*'s bowstring burst; Karṇa pierced *A.* (aδ). Karṇa employed five snakes as arrows; they were cut off by *A.*, who slew 2,000 Kurus. The Kurus fled, leaving Karṇa to fight alone with *A.* (VIII, 89). The snake Açvasena entered into Karṇa's quiver in the form of an arrow. Karṇa and *A.* were fanned and sprinkled with fragrant sandal-water by many Aps., staying in the welkin, and Çakra and Sūrya gently brushed their faces with their hands. Karṇa aimed that arrow which he had long kept for *A.*'s destruction. Omens appeared; Karṇa did not know that Açvasena had entered his arrow. Kṛṣṇa with his feet pressed *A.*'s car about a cubit into the earth and the snake-arrow only broke his diadem (made by Svayambhū for Indra > *A.*); incapable of being crushed by Rudra, etc. (ai). Karṇa would not shoot the same weapon again. Açvasena then of his own accord came towards *A.* in the shape of an arrow; Kṛṣṇa informed *A.*; *A.* cut off the snake, and Kṛṣṇa raised the chariot from the earth. Once, when Karṇa was stupefied, *A.* did not wish to slay him, but he was taught by Kṛṣṇa never to spare an enemy. Karṇa invoked the Brāhma weapon and *A.* the Aindra weapon, which was neutralized by Karṇa, urged by Kṛṣṇa to shoot "high weapons," *A.* shot the Brāhma weapon. Karṇa cut off eleven bowstrings of *A.*'s another, not knowing that *A.* had 100 strings;
c5.s1.575.10
urged by Kṛṣṇa to strike Karṇa with "sun," *A.* then consecrated another celestial weapon, uniting the Raudra weapon with it. *A.* swallowed up Karṇa's wheels. Karṇa a moment till he had raised his Kṛṣṇa urged *A.* to pierce *A.* kindled with fury; emanate from all the por invoked the Brāhma which was neutrali spreading darkn with the Vāyavya weapon. Pierced by a shaft of Karṇa's, A. began to reel, etc.; Karṇa in vain endeavoured to extricate his chariot. Recovering his senses, A. took up an Āñjalika weapon. Urged by Kṛṣṇa, A. cut off Karṇa's standard, and then struck off Karṇa's head with an Āñjalika weapon (the R. loudly crying out "Peace be to the universe!") (VIII, 91). A. fought the chariots of the Kauravas, A. and Kṛṣṇa blew their conchs; D., G., men, Cā., M.-ṛ., Y., and M.-U. congratulated A. (VIII, 94). Urged by Kṛṣṇa (aφ), A. presented himself to Yudhiṣṭhira, who greeted A. and Kṛṣṇa. Yudhiṣṭhira, with Kṛṣṇa and A., came back to the field to have a look at Karṇa's body (VIII, 96).—§ 509 (Çalyap.), IX, 1-2: 2, 119: Çalya was made the commander of the army (IX, 1).

Yudhiṣṭhira said that A. should protect his rear; A. began to slay the Kaurava troops (IX, 16). Yudhiṣṭhira slew Çalya with a celestial dart (IX, 17). A., etc. (ββ), began to slaughter the Madrakas (IX, 18). Also the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra almost all turned away from the fight at midday; A. fought against the chariots; Duryodhana rallied a small force by a spirited address (γγ); the Pāṇḍavas, and especially A., rushed against them (IX, 19). The whole army of Duryodhana fled except Duryodhana (IX, 21). A. (desiring to exterminate the Kurus) addressed Kṛṣṇa, recounting the loss sustained by the Kurus (νν), and attacked the remnant of the Kuru army, and caused a great slaughter (IX, 24). A. and Bhīma, etc. (οο), slew 3,000 elephants, encompassing the Pāṇḍava brothers; A. had afflicted Sañjaya's men; Bhīma and A.
