Karṇa began an onslaught on the troops of Yudhiṣṭhira and Dhṛṣṭadyumna; they fled away; Karṇa & Yudhiṣṭhira, who sat down and ordered his driver to retreat; Duryodhana and the Dhārtarāṣṭras pursued him; but 1,700 Kekaya troops and a body of Pāñcāla troops checked them. Duryodhana & Bhīma (VIII, 62). Karṇa & the Kaikayas, who fled to Bhīmasena. Karṇa & Yudhiṣṭhira (who was proceeding slowly towards the Pāṇḍava encampment with Nakula and Sahadeva, the protectors of his chariot-wheels, on his two sides); Nakula and Sahadeva & Karṇa, who slew the steeds both of Yudhiṣṭhira and Nakula, who both ascended the chariot of Sahadeva; Ҫalya, in order to rescue them, exhorted Karṇa to fight with Arjuna, but in vain; Yudhiṣṭhira turned from the battle; Ҫalya once more reminded Karṇa of Arjuna, etc. (ηηη), and that Duryodhana was in danger from Bhīmasena. Karṇa then left Yudhiṣṭhira and the twins and rushed to the rescue of Duryodhana. Yudhiṣṭhira in shame retreated with the steeds of Sahadeva, with the twins, whom he then dispatched to Bhīma (VIII, 63). Aҫvatthāman & Arjuna; Aҫvatthāman employed the Aindra weapon, which Arjuna baffled with a powerful weapon created by Indra; Aҫvatthāman, having had his driver slain, himself guided his steeds while he fought with Arjuna; then he was brought away by his steeds. The Pāṇḍavas, repeatedly charging the Kauravas, broke their ranks and caused them to fly away in the very sight of Dhṛtarāṣṭra's sons, etc. (θθθ).
