there was a very great battle in Kurukshetra.
His superior in deceitful warfare, the
Gandharva killed that warrior (Chitrangada),
the best of the Kurus.
तस्मिन्पुरुषशार्दूले निहते भूरितेजसि ।
विचित्रवीर्
कुरुराज्ये महाबाहुरभ्यषिञ्चदनन्तरम् ॥
When that foremost of men, (Chitrangada)
of great prowess, was killed, the powerful
Bhishma crowned, in the kingdom of the
Kurus in succession to Chitrangada, Vichitra-
virya, a boy not yet attained to youth at
that time.
संप्राप्तयौवनं दृष्ट्वा भ्रातरं धीमतां वरः ।
भीष्मो विचित्रवीर्यस्य विवाहायाकरोन्म
When he saw that his brother had attained
youth, Bhishma, the foremost of the wise,
considered Vichitravirya's marriage.
अथ काशिपतेः कन्या वृण्वाना वै स्वयंवरम् ।
भीष्मो विचित्रवीर्याय प्रददौ विक्रमाहताः ॥
