Arjuna killed the twelve Sauvīra heroes, etc.; Jayadratha put Draupadī down and fled. Yudhishthira, seeing Draupadī and Dhaumya walking in front, caused her to be taken up on the chariot of Sahadeva. Arjuna advised Bhīma to refrain from slaying the remnant of the Saindhava host. Bhīma prevailed upon Yudhishthira to return to the hermitage with the twins and Draupadī and Dhaumya, while he himself would find out and slay Jayadratha. Yudhishthira entreated him not to slay him, remembering Duḥśalā and Gāndhārī; but Draupadī indignantly required that he should be slain, and Bhīma and Arjuna went in search of him. In the hermitage Yudhishthira found Mārkaṇḍeya and many other brahmans and ascetics, who were greatly bewailing the lot of Draupadī. Meanwhile Arjuna killed the horses of Jayadratha, though they were a full kroça ahead of him. Jayadratha was then overtaken by Bhīma, but Arjuna entreated Bhīma not to kill him (III, 271).
