BRAVE BHAGADATTA

DRONA made many attempts to take Yudhishthira prisoner, but failed. Duryo- dhana led a large elephant division against Bhima. Bhima defended himself from his chariot, with well-aimed arrows.

He sent crescent-headed shafts and tore down Duryodhana's flag and cut down his bow even as he held it in his hand. Seeing the king harassed in this manner, the Mlechchha king Anga marched against Bhimasena seated on a huge elephant.

But Bhima sent shafts that laid theelephant low and killed the Mlechchha king, which resulted in scattering that section of the Kaurava forces in fear and confusion.when the elephants stampeded, the horses also took fright and thousands of footmen were trampled under the feet of the elephants and the horses, flying in wild panic.

Seeing this great confusion andthescatter- ing of the Kaurava forces in all directions, the king of Pragjyotisha, the brave Bhagadatta grew indignant.
