having mowed down in battle all the royal warriors of the Bhoja race, had in a single chariot carried off Rukmiṇī in order to make her his wife; she afterwards bore him Pradyumna. Having smashed the Gāndhāras and vanquished the sons of Nagnajit he forcibly liberated king Sudarçana from confinement. He slew the Pāṇḍya king by striking his breast (kapātena (?), v. the note of PCR., p. 174) and mowed down the Kalingas in battle. The city of Vārāṇasī was burned by K. and remained for many years without a king. Ekalavya, the king of the Nishādas, who could not be defeated by others, always used to challenge K. to battle, but slain by him he lay dead like the Asura Jambha violently thrashed on a hillock. Having Baladeva for his second he slew Ugrasena's wicked son (i.e. Kaṃsa) seated in court in the midst of the Vṛshṇis and the Andhakas, and then gave the kingdom to Ugrasena. He fought with Çālva, and at the gate of Saubha he with his hands caught the fierce çata ghnī. The Asuras had a city named Prāgjyotisha, which was formidable, inaccessible, etc. It was there that Naraka Bhauma kept the ear-rings of Aditi, which he had stolen; the gods with Çakra (i.e. Indra) at their head were incapable of conquering him, and therefore employed K. to destroy these Asuras. At the city of Nirmocana K. slew 6,000 Asuras, and having cut their paçaḥ kshurāntāḥ, he slew Muru and crowds of Rākshasas (ogharakshasaḥ, which by Nil. is taken as a Rākshasa named Ogha), and then he entered that city.
