[Jayarathavimokshaṇaparvan] ("the setting free of Jayadratha," the 47th of the minor parvans of Mhbhr.). (Cf. Jayarathavimokshana.) § 523 (cf. Draupadīhar.): Bhīma seized Jayadratha by the hair, and holding him high up in the air thrust him on the ground, etc., and regretted that Yudhiṣṭhira had forbidden to kill him. He then with his arrow shaved Jayadratha's head, leaving only five tufts of hair, and made him promise to say in public assemblies, "I am the slave of the Pāṇḍavas." They then bound him and thrust him into the chariot; then they drove towards the hermitage and presented him to Yudhiṣṭhira. Yudhiṣṭhira and Draupadī set him free with his army. § 524: Jayadratha went to Gaṅgādvāra, and pleased Śiva so that he deigned to accept his offerings in person and granted him a boon. Jayadratha asked that he might be able to defeat in battle all the five Pāṇḍavas on their chariots. This Śiva declared to be impossible, as Arjuna (b) was invincible, and was protected by Kṛṣṇa, was Viṣṇu (c). Śiva then briefly reminded Jayadratha of four incarnations of Viṣṇu (d). "Thou shalt, however, be able to vanquish for a single day only the rest of Yudhiṣṭhira's forces and the four Pāṇḍavas, but not Arjuna." Then Śiva vanished with Umā, Jayadratha returned home, and the Pāṇḍavas continued to dwell in Kāmyaka (III, 272).
