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).
