recollecting his former hostility he will encounter both *Keçava* (i.e. *Kr̥ṣṇa*) and *Arjuna*, and vanquish *Arjuna* in battle. *Indra* in disguise will deprive *Karṇa* of his earrings and coat of mail. We also have appointed innumerable *Daityas* and *Rākṣhasas*, the so-called *Saṃcaptakas*, who will slay *Arjuna* . . . Thou art ever our refuge, as the *Pāṇḍavas* are the refuge of the gods.” Then the *Dānavas* embraced and cheered him, and that very goddess (*kr̥tyā*) carried him back to the spot where he had sat down intent upon putting an end to his life, and there she vanished. Now *Duryodhana* considered all as a dream, and thought he should defeat the *Pāṇḍavas* in battle. And also *Karṇa*, being possessed by the soul of *Naraka*, and the *Saṃcaptakas*, possessed by the *Rākṣhasas*, were desirous of slaying *Arjuna*; and *Bhīṣma*, *Droṇa*, *Kr̥pa*, etc., influenced by the *Dānavas*, were not so affectionate towards the *Pāṇḍavas* as they had been. *Duryodhana* did not tell anyone of thie.—§ 514: When the night had passed away *Karṇa* again exhorted *Duryodhana*, and promised to slay *Arjuna* in battle.
