Drupada also had his bow cut in twain, etc., by Arjuna, who then took a scimitar and, leaping from his own chariot upon that of his foe, seized Drupada, while the Pāñcālas ran away. Bhīma, etc., began to lay waste his capital, but were prevented by Arjuna. Droṇa prevailed upon Drupada to accept his friendship, and restored half his kingdom to him, viz., that part of it that lay on the southern side of the Bhāgīrathī, with the southern Pāñcālas, up to the banks of the Carmanvatī river, where Drupada thenceforth resided sorrowfully in Kāmpilya in Mākaṇdī, on the banks of Gaṅgā, while Droṇa (because Drupada had said that only a king could be the friend of a king) retained that half that lay to the north of the Bhāgīrathī, and thenceforth continued to reside in Ahicchatra (I, 138).
