As Arjuna was advancing towards Duryodhana the Kurus fell upon him, especially Karṇa, who was supported by Citrasena, Saṅgrāmajit (the brother of Karṇa), Çatrusaha, Jaya, and Vikarṇa; Vikarṇa fled; Çatrunṭapa and many others were slain by Arjuna, so Saṅgrāmajit; at last Karṇa took to flight (IV, 54). Duryodhana, etc., attacked Arjuna; Arjuna shot at Droṇa, Duḥçaha, Açvatthāman, Duḥçāsana, and Kṛpa, and wounded Bhīshma, Duryodhana, and Karṇa. Then Arjuna described to Uttara the banners, etc., of Kṛpa, Droṇa, Açvatthāman, Duryodhana, Karṇa, and Bhīshma (IV, 55). Indra, the gods, the Viçvas, the Açvins, the Maruts, the Yakṣas, the Gandharvas, the Mahoragas, the Nāgas, the Rākṣhasas, the serpents, the Pitṛs, and the maharshis came to see the combat, likewise, sitting on the chariot of Indra, king Vasumanas, etc. (ζ); also Agni, Çiva, Soma, Varuṇa, Prajāpati, Dhātṛ, Vidhātṛ, Kubera, Yama, Alambusha, Ugrascena, Tumbnru, etc., came there (IV, 56). Arjuna attacked Kṛpa, announced his name, and blew the Devadatta; at last Kṛpa was led away by his soldiers (IV, 57). Droṇa attacked Arjuna; Arjuna said: "I will not strike thee unless thou strikest me first"; with his own weapons Arjuna baffled the Aindra, Vāyavya, and Āgaeya weapons, which were shot by Droṇa; a voice was heard in the sky applauding Droṇa; then Açvatthāman attacked Arjuna, which gave Droṇa an opportunity to leave the field (IV, 58).
