Roy's Translation c5.s6.261.2 - **Language:** English ### [c5.s6.261.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.261.2) Manu had ordered the Māgadhas never to be afflicted with drought; Kauśika and Manimat had favoured the country. The Pāṇḍavas and Kṛṣṇa entered the city by breaking down the peak of Caityaka, worshipped by the Bārhadrathas and the citizens with perfumes and flower garlands, where Bṛhadratha had slain the caunibal Ṛṣabha, and made of his hide (māṃsalābhiḥ, see BR.; Gauḍapāṭha: māṃsalābhiḥ, Nil.) three drums \[which the brothers broke, v. 814, not in V.\]. As evil omens had been seen, the purohitas made Jarāsandha mount an elephant and carried fire about him (paryagnyakurvan), and he entered upon (dīkṣitaḥ) a sacrifice with vows (niyamasthaḥ) and fasts (upavāsaparaḥ). Kṛṣṇa, Bhīma, and Dhanañjaya entered the city without weapons in the guise of snātakas, snatched from the flower-vendors the garlands they had exposed for sale, and attired in robes of various colours and decked with garlands and ear-rings they entered the abode of Jarāsandha, who welcomed them, and hearing from Kṛṣṇa that Bhīma and Arjuna in consequence of a vow would not speak before night, quartered them in the sacrificial apartments (yajñāgāre) and retired to the palace (rājagṛham). At midnight he came to them, as he always observed the vow, that as soon as he should hear of the arrival of snātakas, even at midnight, he would immediately come out and grant them an audience. - [Previous: c5.s6.261.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.261.1) - [Next: c5.s6.261.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.261.3) - [Up: c5.s6.261](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.261) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.261.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.261.2) · Pramāṇa
