The \*Gandharvas\* then rose up to the skies, taking the \*Dhārtarāṣṭras\* with them, and showering maces, darts, etc., upon \*Arjuna\*, who killed them with his weapons \*Sthūlakarṇa\* (B. \*Sthūṇākarṇa\*), \*Indrajāla\*, \*Suura\*, \*Āgneya\*, and \*Saumya\*. At last \*Citrasena\* rushed at \*Arjuna\*, armed with a mace of iron; as \*Arjuna\* cut that mace in seven pieces with his arrows, \*Citrasena\*, by means of his science, concealed himself from the view of \*Arjuna\*, and thus continued to fight with him; but \*Arjuna\* destroyed his power of concealing himself by shooting at him with his celestial arms guided by the sound (\*śabdavedham samācr̥tyu\*). Then \*Citrasena\* showed himself to \*Arjuna\*, reminding him of his being his friend, and there was put an end to the battle (III, 245). \*Citrasena\* related to \*Arjuna\* that, staying in his abode, he had become acquainted with the purpose of \*Duryodhana\*, etc., and had been requested by \*Indra\* to bring \*Duryodhana\* thither in chains together with his counsellors. \*Arjuna\* entreated him to set \*Duryodhana\* free, but, at the request of \*Citrasena\*, they left it to be decided by \*Yudhiṣṭhira\*; \*Yudhiṣṭhira\* then liberated all the \*Kauravas\*. The \*Gandharvas\* went away with the \*Apsarases\*, and \*Indra\* revived the slain \*Gandharvas\* by sprinkling \*amr̥ta\* upon them. Friendly admonished by \*Yudhiṣṭhira\*, \*Duryodhana\*, overwhelmed with shame, returned to his capital (III, 246).
