VIRATA PARVA
 
207
 
Making the fear-stricken Uttara (Bhumin-

jaya, the son of Virata) take heart, Arjuna,

the illustrious Bharata, made him his

charioteer, went round the Sami tree, took

all his weapons and then went forth

(for the fight).
 

 
ततश्शङ्खमुपाध्मासीद् दारयन्निव मेदिनीम् ।

ज्याघोषं तलघोषं च कृत्वा भूतान्यमोहयत् ॥
 

Then, Arjuna blew the conch, as if
tearing the world. He stupefied all beings
by the twang of his bow-string and by the
slap of his palm on his body.

'सर्वं यथावच्चरितं यद्यदेभिः प्रतिश्रुतम् ।

एवमेतद् ध्रुवं ज्ञात्वा ततो बीभत्सुरागतः ॥
 

Bhishma –
 

"All that the Pandavas undertook to

do, they have done accordingly. Knowing

this for certain, Arjuna has come out.
 

 
'एको हि समरे पार्थः पृथिवीं निर्दहेच्छरैः ।
