c5.s2.388.1

back; the Kalinga king and his son Çakradeva fought with Bhīma, who slew Çakradeva with his mace. (11) Bhīma attacked Bhānumat (the prince of the Kalingas), and slew him with his sword, dividing him in the middle, and made a great slaughter of men and elephants. (12) Beholding Çrutāyus (the ruler of the Kalingas) at the head of the Kalinga troops, Bhīmasena attacked him, was wounded, and taken into his chariot by the charioteer Açoka; once more he fought with Çrutāyus, and slew him, and Satyadeva, and Satya, and Ketumat, and routed the Kalingas. (13) When, however, the Kalingas were rallied again, Dhrshṭadyumna, with Çikhaṇḍin, Yudhishṭhira, etc., protected one of the wings of Bhīmasena; there was nobody on earth, save Bhīma and Sātyaki, who was dearer to Dhrshṭadyumna than his very life; they beheld Sātyaki at a distance; and that [grand]son of Çini took up the wing of both Bhīma and Dhrshṭadyumna; Bhīma caused a bloody river to flow there. (14) Bhīshma heard the cries, attacked Bhīma, and was attacked by Sātyaki, etc. (ι). Bhīshma jumped from his chariot, mace in hand, and was taken by Dhrshṭadyumna on his chariot. Sātyaki slew the charioteer of Bhīshma, who was then carried away from the field of battle by his steeds. The Kalingas were totally routed by Bhīma, who was praised by the Pāñcālas and Matsyas, himself embraced Dhrshṭadyumna, and was congratulated by Sātyaki, who returned to his own chariot and began to slay the Kurus (VI, 54).
