Having spoken disdainfully to Arjuna, at which Duryodhana was filled with delight, he then, with the permission of Droṇa, did all that Arjuna had done before. Duryodhana and his brothers in joy embraced *K.* K. asked for a single combat with Arjuna, who rebuked him. Droṇa gave his consent to tho encounter. Indra covered Arjuna with clouds, while the Sun dispersed the clouds from *K.*; who remained visible, surrounded by the rays of the Sun. When Kṛpa asked *K.* to tell his lineage ("sons of kings never fight with men of inferior lineage," v. 5411) *K.* was ashamed, but Duryodhana (saying, "The origin of kings is, according to the çastras, threefold—persons of noble blood, heroes, and those who lead an army," v. 5413) immediately installed *K.* king of the Aṅgas (I, 136). Then Adhiratha entered the lists and embraced *K.* as his son Bhīmasena, seeing this, scoffed at *K.* as the son of a charioteer (*sūta*), but was reprimanded by Duryodhana ("the origin of heroes and rivers is always unknown," *examples*: the fire that rises from the water; the thunderbolt (*vajra*) that was made from the bones of Dadhīca; *Guha*, i.e. *Skanda*, is named the son of *Agni* or of the Kṛttikāḥ or of *Rudra* or of *Gaṅgā*; Viçvāmitra and other kshatriyas who became brahmans; Droṇa and Kṛpa). When the snn went down Duryodhana led *K.* out of the arena. Kuntī had recognized *K.* as her son and was pleased at his success.
