THE MAHABHARATA
 
"So, Arjuna, did Hari (Krishna), the lord

of all, tell Indra once (concerning you).

Therefore, equal to you or superior to you,

there will be none in the world except

Him ; seek Him for (thy ) protection."
 

 
तथेति च प्रतिज्ञाय द्रोणाय कुरुपुङ्गवः ।

उपसङ्गृह्य चरणौ युधिष्ठिरवशोऽभवत् ॥
 

Promising Drona that he would do so, the

best of the Kuru house, Arjuna, prostrated

at Drona's feet and placed himself under

the control of Yudhisthira.
 

 
न शशाक वशे कर्तुं यं पाण्डुरपि वीर्यवान् ।
सां

सो
ऽर्जुनेन वशं नीतो राजाऽऽलीसीद्यवनाधिपः ॥
 

Arjuna subdued the king of the Yavanas

whom even the valorous Pandu could not

bring under control.
 

 
सुमित्रं नाम सौवीरमर्जुनोऽदमयच्छरैः ॥
 

With his arrows, Arjuna subdued the

Sauvira king named Sumitra.
 

 
भीमसेनसहायश्च रथानामयुतं च सः ।
 

अर्जुनस्समरे प्राच्यान् सर्वानेकरथोऽजयत् ॥
