Citrāṅgadopākhyāna(m), "episode relating to Citrāṅgada." § 166 (cf. Satyavatīlābhop.): I, 101. Two sons were born of Satyavatī, Citrāṅgada and Vicitravīrya. Before the last had attained to majority, Cāntanu died and ascended to heaven. Bhīṣma placed Citrāṅgada on the throne. Citrāṅgada considered nobody his equal, not even the gods and Asuras. Therefore the king of the Gandharvas bearing the same name fought a three years' battle with him at Kurukṣetra on the banks of the Sarasvatī, where Citrāṅgada was slain; then the Gandharva ascended to heaven. Bhīṣma installed Vicitravīrya, yet in his minority, on the throne of the Kurus and ruled for him. (For continuation v. Vicitravīryop.)
