slew Çalya with a cèlestial dart (created by Tvasḥṭṛ for the use of Içāna, and always worshipped by the Pāṇḍavas with perfumes and garlands and excellent seats and the best kinds of viands and drinks). Çalya's younger brother & Yudhishṭhira, who slew him; the Kurus broke; Sātyaki & Kṛtavarman, whom Kṛpa carried away on his chariot; Duryodhana alone withstood the Pāṇḍava leaders (αα); Kṛtavarman (on another chariot) + Kṛpa & Yudhishṭhira; Kṛtavarman was carried away by Açvatthāman upon the latter's chariot; Kṛpa & Yudhishṭhira. The Pārthas blew their conchs and applauded Yudhishṭhira (IX, 17). The followers of Çalya (1,700 Madrakas) resolved to avenge him; Duryodhana commanded them not to proceed to battle; they, however, attacked Yudhishṭhira; Arjuna, etc. (ββ), & the Madrakas, whom they began to slaughter; Duryodhana in vain tried to prevent them from fighting; then, urged by Çakuni, he proceeded to the rescue of the Madrakas. The Pāṇḍavas arranged themselves in the form called Madhyama and slew the Madrakas; meteors, etc., were seen; the Pārthas encountered a body of horse advancing towards them; the Kuru army fled away (IX, 18). Also the sons of Dhrshṭarāshṭra almost all turned away from the flight at noon; their fear was like to that after the fall of Bhīshma, etc. (γγ); the Pāñcālas and the Pāṇḍavas pursued them, and congratulated one another (δδ). The Sṛñjayas pursued the Kurus; Arjuna & the chariot-division; Nakula, etc. (εε), & Çakuni.
