husbands. "That damsel is Kṛṣṇā, appointed to be the wife of ye all; go therefore to the capital of the Pāñcālas and dwell ye there." He then left them (I, 169).—§ 221: After Vyāsa had gone away, the Pāṇḍavas proceeded [towards the Pāñcālas] in a northerly direction, walking day and night, till they reached the tīrtha Somāçrayāyana ("the shrine of Rudra with the crescent mark on his brow," PCR. with Nil.). Then they arrived at the Gaṅgā; Dhanañjaya (i.e. Arjuna) walked before them, torch in hand. The Gandharva king with his wives was then sporting there in the Gaṅgā. Bending his bow to a circle, he said, "Excepting the first 80 lavas, tho muhūrta (prasthānakālam, Nil.) that begins with the twilight preceding nightfall has been appointed for the Yakṣas, Gandharvas, and Rākṣasas, capable of going everywhere at will; the rest has been appointed for man to do his work. If therefore men, wandering during those moments from greed of gain, come near us, both we and the rākṣasas slay those fools. Therefore persons acquainted with the Vedas never applaud those men, who then approach any piece of water. Stay ye at a distance. Know that I am Aṅgāraparṇa (= Citraratha, v. 6475; cf. LIA. i, 666/814), the friend of Kubera, and this my forest is also called Aṅgāraparṇa, where neither kaunapas (i.e. rākṣasas), nor çṛṅgins (a horned animal, see BR.; according to Nil. it is = kāpālikāḥ, a Çivaitic sect), nor gods, nor men can come." Arjuna replied: "Whether it be day, night, or twilight, who can bar others from the ocean, the Himālaya, and Gaṅgā?" (b). Arjuna burnt the Gandharva's chariot with the Āgneya weapon, given by Bṛhaspati (the preceptor of Indra) to Bharadvāja, by him to Agiveçya, by him to Droṇa, by Droṇa to Arjuna, and dragged him, who had become unconscious, by the hair. His wife Kumbhīnasī prevailed upon Yudhiṣṭhira, and he commanded Arjuna to spare him. He declared that, instead of his former name, Citraratha ("who has a variegated chariot"), he should now be called Dagdharatha ("whose chariot has been burnt"), and imparted to Arjuna the Gāndharvī vidyā called Cākṣuṣī (c). He also gave Arjuna and each of his brothers one hundred horses born in the country of the Gandharvas (Gandharvajānām), endued with the speed of wind and employed in carrying the gods and Gandharvas, a portion of Indra's vajra ("thunderbolt") (d). Arjuna in return gave him the Āgneya weapon, and asked him why they, though skilled in the Vedas, had been censured by him. He replied that it was because they were without fires, without sacrifices, and without a brahman walking before them. "The Yakṣas, Rākṣasas, Gandharvas, Piçācas, Uragas, and Dānavas know the history of the Kuru race; I have heard from Nārada and other devarṣis the deeds of your ancestors. I have been vanquished by thee, battle on account of the brahmacarya being rigidly observed, a kṣattriya, who is addicted to lust, if he fights in night, can never escape with life; but even if addicted to lust, he who has a purohita may vanquish all who of the night. Therefore, O Tāpatya! kings should select a fit purohita" (I, 170).—§ 222: Citraratha- Tapatyupākhyāna (q.v.).—§§ 223-7: Vāsiṣṭh[a] § 228: Aurvopākhyāna (q.v.).—§ 229: Vāsiṣṭh[a] (q.v.).—§ 230: Dhaumya-purohitakaraṇa.
