(18) Çakuni attacked Prativindhya; (19) Çrutakarman (tho son of Sahadeva) attacked the Kāmboja king Sudakṣiṇa, and stood like the Maināka mountain; (20) Irāvat (son of Arjuna) attacked Çrutāyus; (21) the two princes of Avanti, Vinda and Anuvinda, encountered Kuntibhoja with his son; (22) the Kekaya-brothers encountered the five Gāndhāra-princes; (23) Vīrabāhu (son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra) encountered Uttara (the son of Virāṭa); (24) the Cedi king attacked Uluka. Thousands of single combats took place. D.-r., Si., and Cā. beheld the battle, which resembled the combat of D. und As. (VI, 45). The Pāṇḍavas and the Kurus fought as if they were possessed by demons. The divisions of the Pāṇḍavas, approaching Bhīṣma (b), began to yield (VI, 46). (25) After the greater part of the forenoon had worn out, Durmukha, etc. (γ), began to protect Bhīṣma, who rushed upon the Cedis, etc. (δ). (26) Then Abhimanyu (e) attacked Bhīṣma, Kṛtavarman, Çalya, Durmukha (cutting off the head of his charioteer), and Kṛpa (cutting in two his bow); he was regarded as equal to Arjuna, and his bow sent forth a twang like that of the Gāṇḍīva; he stood firm like the Maināka mountain. When Bhīṣma's standard fell down, Bhīma shouted. Bhīṣma used celestial weapons. (27) In order to protect Abhimanyu, Virāṭa, etc. (e), attacked Bhīṣma, who wounded Dhṛṣṭadyumna and Sātyaki, and they cut off the standard of Bhīmasena (d), who wounded Bhīṣma and Kṛpa and Kṛtavarman.
