ततस्तान्परिविश्वस्तान्वसतस्तत्र पाण्डवान् ।
पर्वतेन्द्रे द्विजैः सार्धं पार्तागमनकाङ्क्षया ॥ ३.१५८.१ ॥
Then, as the Pāṇḍavas dwelt there on the king of mountains with the brahmins, fully trusting, desiring the arrival of Pārtha (Arjuna),
3.158.2
गतेषु तेषु रक्षःसु भीमसेनात्मजेऽपि च ।
रहितान्मीमसेनेन कदाचित्तान्यदृच्छया।
जहार धर्मराजं वै यमौ कृष्णां च राक्षसः ॥ ३.१५८.२ ॥
When those rākṣasas and Bhīmasena's son had also departed, and the Pāṇḍavas were left without Bhīmasena, the rākṣasa by chance seized the king of righteousness, the twins, and Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī).
3.158.3
ब्रह्मन्कथं धर्मराजं यमौ कृष्णां च राक्षसः ।
जहार चित्रं भीमश्च गतो राक्षसकण्टकः।
वक्तुमर्हसि विप्राग्र्य व्यक्तमेतन्ममाऽनघ ॥ ३.१५८.३ ॥
Brahmin, how did that rākṣasa seize the king of righteousness, the twins, and Kṛṣṇā? It is strange that this happened when Bhīma, the thorn of the rākṣasas, had gone. Best of brahmins, sinless one, tell me this clearly.
3.158.4
ब्राह्मणो मन्त्रकुशलः सर्वास्त्रेष्वस्त्रवित्तमः ।
इति ब्रुवन्पाण्डवेयान्पर्युपास्ते स्म नित्यदा ।
परीप्समानः पार्थानां कलापांश्च धनूंषि च ॥ ३.१५८.४ ॥
A brahmin, skilled in mantras and the most knowledgeable of all weapons, thus saying, attended upon the sons of Pāṇḍu every day, desiring to obtain the quivers and bows of the Pārthas.
3.158.5
अन्तरं संपरिप्रेप्सुर्द्रौपद्या हरणं प्रति ।
दुष्टात्मा पापबुद्धिः स नाम्ना ख्यातो जटासुरः ॥ ३.१५८.५ ॥
That wicked-minded, evil-intentioned one, seeking an opening for the abduction of Draupadī, was known by the name Jaṭāsura.
3.158.6
पोषणं तस् राजेनद्र चक्रे पाण्डवनन्दनः ।
बुबुधे न च तं पापं भस्मच्छन्नमिवानलम् ॥ ३.१५८.६ ॥
O lord of kings, the son of the Pāṇḍavas nourished him, but did not perceive that wicked one, like a fire hidden under ash.
3.158.7
स भीमसेने निष्क्रान्ते मृगयार्थमरिंदमे ।
घटोत्कचं सानुचरं दृष्ट्वा विप्रद्रुतं दिशः ॥ ३.१५८.७ ॥
O subduer of foes, when Bhīmasena had gone out to hunt, he saw Ghaṭotkaca with his followers scattered and fleeing in all directions.
3.158.8
लोमशप्रभृतींस्तांस्तु महर्षीश्च समाहितान् ।
स्नातुं विनिर्गतान्दृष्ट्वा पुष्पार्थं च तपोधनान् ॥ ३.१५८.८ ॥
He saw the great sages, Lomaśa and the rest, composed and wealthy in austerity, going out to bathe and to gather flowers.

Assuming another, deformed and terrifying form, taking all the weapons, seizing Draupadī and taking hold of the three Pāṇḍavas, that very wicked one set off.
3.158.10
विक्रम्य कौशिकं खङ्गं मोक्षयित्वा ग्रहं रिपोः ।
आक्रन्दद्भीमसेन वै येन यातो महाबलः ॥ ३.१५८.१० ॥
Charging with the Kauśika sword and freeing them from the enemy's grip, crying out, 'O Bhīmasena!', in the direction in which that mighty one had gone.
3.158.11
तमब्रवीद्धर्मराजो ह्रियमाणो युधिष्ठिरः ।
धर्मस्ते हीयते मूढ न चैनं समवेक्षसे ॥ ३.१५८.११ ॥
As he was being carried away, King Dharma, Yudhiṣṭhira, said to him: 'O fool, your dharma is being diminished, and yet you do not perceive it.'
3.158.12
येऽन्ये क्वचिन्मनुष्येषु तिर्यग्योनिगताश्च ये ।
धर्मं ते समवेक्षन्ते रक्षांसि च विशेषतः ॥ ३.१५८.१२ ॥
Others among humans somewhere, and those who have gone into animal wombs, observe dharma—and especially the rākṣasas.
3.158.13
धर्मस्यराक्षसा मूलं धर्मं ते विदुरुत्तमम् ।
एतत्परीक्ष्यसर्वं त्वं समीपे स्थातुमर्हसि ॥ ३.१५८.१३ ॥

गन्धर्वोरगरक्षांसि वयांसि पशवस्तथा ॥ ३.१५८.१४ ॥
O rākṣasa, the gods, sages, perfected beings and ancestors as well; gandharvas, serpents, demons, birds and beasts likewise.
3.158.15
तिर्यग्योनिगताश्चैव अपि कीटपिपीलिकाः ।
मनुष्यानुपजीवन्ति ततस्त्वमपि जीवसि ॥ ३.१५८.१५ ॥
Even creatures gone into animal wombs, even insects and ants, live by depending on humans; and so you too live.
3.158.16
समृद्ध्या यस्य लोकस्य लोको युष्माकमृध्यति ।
इमं च लोकं शोचन्तमनुशोचन्ति देवताः।
पूज्यमानाश्च वर्धन्ते हव्यकव्यैर्यथाविधि ॥ ३.१५८.१६ ॥
By the prosperity of which world your world prospers; the gods grieve for this grieving world; and when honored with oblations and offerings according to rule, they grow.

राष्ट्रस्यारक्ष्यमाणस्य कुतो भूतिः कुतः सुखम् ॥ ३.१५८.१७ ॥
We are the protectors and guardians of the realm, O rākṣasa. When the realm is unguarded, whence prosperity, whence happiness?

न च राजाऽवमन्तव्यो रक्षसा जात्वनागसि ।
अनुरप्यपचारश्च नास्त्यस्माकं नराशन ॥ ३.१५८.१८ ॥
O man-eater, a king who is guiltless must never be disdained by a rākṣasa; and on our part there is not even the slightest offense.

गुरूंश्च ब्राह्मणांश्चैव प्रमाणप्रवणाः सदा ॥ ३.१५८.१९ ॥

येषां चान्नानि भुञ्जीत यत्रच स्यात्प्रतिश्रयः ॥ ३.१५८.२० ॥
One must never betray friends or those who trust us, those whose food one eats and where one finds shelter.
3.158.21
स त्वं प्रतिश्रयेऽस्माकं पूज्यमानः सुखोषितः ।
भुक्त्वा चान्नानि दुष्प्रज्ञ कथमस्माञ्जिहीर्षसि ॥ ३.१५८.२१ ॥
You have been honored and lived in comfort in our shelter, and you have eaten our food. O ill-minded one, how can you wish to carry us off?
3.158.22
एवमेव वृथाचारो वृथा वृद्धो वृथामतिः ।
वृथामरणमर्हस्त्वं वृथाऽद्य नमविष्यसि ॥ ३.१५८.२२ ॥
Thus you are one of vain conduct, vainly aged and of vain understanding; you deserve a vain death, and today you shall bow down in vain.
3.158.23
अथ चेद्दुष्टबुद्धिस्त्वं सर्वैर्धर्मैर्विवर्जितः ।
प्रदाय शस्त्राण्यस्माकं युद्धेन द्रौपदीं हर ॥ ३.१५८.२३ ॥
But if you are evil-minded and abandoned by all duties, then surrender our weapons and by battle carry off Draupadī.
3.158.24
अथ चेत्त्वमविज्ञाय इदं कर्म करिष्यसि ।
अधर्मं चाप्यकीर्तिं च लोके प्राप्स्यसि केवलं ॥ ३.१५८.२४ ॥
If you do this deed without understanding it, you will obtain only unrighteousness and infamy in the world.
3.158.25
एतामद्य परामृश्य स्त्रियं राक्षस मानुषीम् ।
विषमेतत्समालोड्य कुम्भेन प्राशितं त्वया ॥ ३.१५८.२५ ॥
O rakshasa, having seized this human woman today, you stirred the poison thoroughly and drank it from the pot.
3.158.26
ततो युधिष्ठिरस्तस्य भारिकः समपद्यत ।
स तु भाराभिभूतात्मा न तथा शीघ्रगोऽभवत् ॥ ३.१५८.२६ ॥
Then Yudhiṣṭhira became heavy with the burden; his spirit overcome by the load, he was no longer as swift as before.
3.158.27
अथाब्रवीद्द्रौपदीं च नकुलं च युधिष्ठिरः ।
मा भैष्टं राक्षसान्मूढाद्गतिरस्य मया हृता ॥ ३.१५८.२७ ॥
Then Yudhiṣṭhira said to Draupadī and to Nakula: "Do not fear the deluded rakshasa; I have taken away his power of movement."
3.158.28
नातिदूरे महबाहुर्भविता पवनात्मजः ।
अस्मिन्मुहूर्ते संप्राप्ते नभविष्यति राक्षसः ॥ ३.१५८.२८ ॥
The mighty-armed son of the Wind (Bhīma) will not be far away; when this moment arrives, that rakshasa will no longer exist.
3.158.29
सहदेवस्तु तं दृष्ट्वा राक्षसं मूढचेतसम् ।
उवाच वचनं राजन्कुन्तीपुत्रं युधिष्ठिरम् ॥ ३.१५८.२९ ॥
But Sahadeva, having seen that rakshasa deluded in mind, spoke these words, O king, to Yudhiṣṭhira, son of Kuntī.
3.158.30
राजन्किं नाम सत्कृत्यं क्षत्रियस्यास्त्यतोऽधिकम् ।
यद्युद्धेऽभिमुखः प्राणांस्त्यजेच्छत्रुं जयेत वा ॥ ३.१५८.३० ॥
O king, what greater honourable duty is there for a warrior than this: in battle, facing the enemy, to give up his life or to conquer the enemy?
3.158.31
एष वास्मान्वयं वैनं युध्यमानाः परंतप ।
सूदयेम महाबाहो देशः कालो ह्ययं नृप ॥ ३.१५८.३१ ॥
O scorcher of foes, O mighty-armed one: let him slay us, or let us, fighting, slay him. O king, this is the place, and this is the time.
3.158.32
क्षत्रधर्मस्य संप्राप्तः कालः सत्यपराक्रम ।
जयन्तो हन्यमाना वा प्राप्तुमर्हाम सद्गतिम् ॥ ३.१५८.३२ ॥
O you of true valour, the time for the warrior's duty has come. Whether conquering or being slain, we shall deserve to attain a good destiny.
3.158.33
राक्षसे जीवमानेऽद्य रविरस्तमियाद्यदि ।
नाहं ब्रूयां पुनर्जातु क्षत्रियोस्मीति भारत ॥ ३.१५८.३३ ॥
O descendant of Bharata, if the sun sets today while the rākṣasa still lives, I shall never again say, "I am a warrior."
3.158.34
भोभो राक्षस तिष्ठस्व सहदेवोस्मि पाण्डवः ।
हत्वा रवा मां नयस्वैनां हतो वा स्वप्स्यसीह वै ॥ ३.१५८.३४ ॥
Ho there, rākṣasa, stand! I am Sahadeva, a son of Pāṇḍu. Slay me and take her away, or be slain here and sleep.
3.158.35
तदा ब्रुवति माद्रेये भीमसेनो यदृच्छया ।
प्रादृश्यत महाबाहुः सवज्र इव वासवः ॥ ३.१५८.३५ ॥
While the son of Mādrī was speaking thus, by chance Bhīmasena, the mighty-armed, appeared, like Vāsava (Indra) bearing the thunderbolt.
3.158.36
सोऽपश्यद्धातरौ तत्र द्रौपदीं च यशस्विनीम् ।
क्षितिस्थं सहदेवं च क्षिपन्तं राक्षसं तदा ॥ ३.१५८.३६ ॥
Then he saw his brothers there, and the famed Draupadī, and Sahadeva lying on the ground, and the rākṣasa who was hurling them.
3.158.37
मार्गाच्च राक्षसं मूढं कालोपहतचेतसम् ।
भ्रमन्तं तत्रतत्रैव दैवेन परिमोहितम् ॥ ३.१५८.३७ ॥
That deluded rākṣasa, his mind struck by time and bewildered by fate, wandered about here and there, off his path.
3.158.38
हृतान्संदृश्य तान्भ्रातृन्द्रौपदीं च महाबलः ।
क्रोधमाहारयद्भीमो राक्षसंचेदमब्रवीत् ॥ ३.१५८.३८ ॥
Seeing his brothers and Draupadī being carried off, mighty Bhīma brought up his anger and spoke these words to the rākṣasa.
3.158.39
विज्ञातोऽसि मया पूर्वं चेष्टञ्शस्त्रपरीक्षणे ।
आस्था तु त्वयि मे नास्ति यतोसि न हतस्तदा ॥ ३.१५८.३९ ॥
I recognized you long ago, when I was testing my weapons; yet I have no regard for you, for even then I did not kill you.
3.158.40
ब्रह्मरूपप्रतिच्छन्नो न नो वदसि चाप्रियम् ।
प्रियेषु रममाणं त्वां न चैवाप्रियकारिणम्।
ब्रह्मरूपेण विहितं नैव हन्यामनागसम् ॥ ३.१५८.४० ॥
You, hidden in the form of a brahmin, speak no unpleasant words to us, and delighting in what is dear you do no unpleasant deed. I will not kill one who is without fault, placed in the form of a brahmin.
3.158.41
राक्षसं जानमानोऽपि यो हन्यान्नरकं व्रजेत् ।
अपक्वस्य च कालेन वधस्तव न विद्यते ॥ ३.१५८.४१ ॥
Whoever kills a rākṣasa, though knowing him to be one, goes to hell; and for you, not yet ripe in time, there is no death.
3.158.42
नूनमद्यासि संपक्वो यथा ते मतिरीदृशी ।
दत्ता कृष्णापहरणे कालेनाद्भुतकर्मणा।
सोपि कालं समासाद्य तथाऽद्य नभविष्यसि ॥ ३.१५८.४२ ॥
Surely you are now ripe, such is your mind. Time, the doer of wondrous deeds, gave that at the abduction of Kṛṣṇā; that too, having reached its time, will not be today.
3.158.43
बडिशोऽयंत्वया ग्रस्तः कालसूत्रेण लम्बितः ।
मत्स्योऽम्भसीव स्यूतास्यः कथमद्य गमिष्यसि ॥ ३.१५८.४३ ॥
This fishhook you have swallowed, hanging by the thread of time, like a fish with its mouth sewn shut in the water. How will you go today?
3.158.44
यं चासि प्रस्थितो देशं मनः पूर्वं गतं च ते ।
न तं गन्तासि गन्तासि मार्गं बकहिडिम्बयोः ॥ ३.१५८.४४ ॥
The land to which you have set out, where your mind has already gone before, you shall not go there; you shall go the way of Baka and Hiḍimba.
3.158.45
एवमुक्तस्तु भीमेन राक्षसः कालचोदितः ।
भीत उत्सृज्य तान्सर्वान्युद्धाय समुपस्थितः ॥ ३.१५८.४५ ॥
Thus addressed by Bhīma, the rākṣasa, driven by time, became frightened; abandoning all of them, he stood before him ready for battle.
3.158.46
अब्रवीच्च पुनर्भीमं रोषात्प्रस्फुरिताधरः ।
न मे मूढा दिशः पाप त्वदर्थं मे विलम्बनम् ॥ ३.१५८.४६ ॥
Again, with lips trembling in anger, he said to Bhīma: 'Wretch, my directions are not confused; my delay is on your account.'
3.158.47
श्रुता मे राक्षसा ये ये त्वया विनिहता रणे ।
तेषामद्यकरिष्यामि तवास्रेणोदकक्रियाम् ॥ ३.१५८.४७ ॥
I have heard of the rākṣasas whom you slew in battle; for them I shall today perform the water-offering with your own weapon.
3.158.48
एवमुक्त्वातदा भीमं राक्षसो योद्धुमाययौ ।
करालवदनः क्रोधात्कालसर्प इव श्वसन् ॥ ३.१५८.४८ ॥
Having spoken thus, the rākṣasa then came to fight Bhīma, his face fearsome, hissing in wrath like a death-serpent.
3.158.49
एवमुक्तस्ततो भीमः सृक्विणी परिलेलिहन् ।
स्मयमान इव क्रोधात्साक्षात्कालान्तकोपमः ॥ ३.१५८.४९ ॥
Thus addressed, Bhīma, licking the corners of his mouth and as if smiling in wrath, appeared like Death himself, the ender of time.
3.158.50
ब्रुवन्वै तिष्ठतिष्ठेति क्रोधसंरक्तलोचनः ।
बाहुसंरम्भमेवेच्छन्नभिदुद्राव राक्षसम् ॥ ३.१५८.५० ॥
Crying out "Stand, stand!", his eyes reddened with wrath, longing only for the vigor of his arms, Bhīma rushed upon the rākṣasa.
3.158.51
मुहुर्मुहुर्व्याददानः सृक्विणी परिसंलिहन् ।
अभिदुद्राव संरब्धो बलो वज्रधरं यथा ॥ ३.१५८.५१ ॥
Again and again opening his mouth and licking the corners of his lips, enraged, the strong Bhīma charged like Indra, wielder of the thunderbolt.
3.158.52
भीमसेनोऽप्यवष्टब्धो नियुद्धायाभवत्स्थितः ।
राक्षसोऽपि च विस्रब्धो बाहुयुद्धमकाङ्क्षत ॥ ३.१५८.५२ ॥
Bhīmasena too, steadied, stood ready for wrestling; and the rākṣasa, confident, desired a fight with arms.
3.158.53
वर्तमाने तयो राजन्बाहुयुद्धे सुदारुणे ।
माद्रीपुत्रावतिक्रुद्धावुभावप्यभ्यधावताम् ॥ ३.१५८.५३ ॥
O king, while that most dreadful fight with arms was going on between the two, the two sons of Mādrī, both very enraged, rushed toward them.
3.158.54
न्यवारयत्तौ प्रहसन्कुन्तीपुत्रो वृकोदरः ।
शक्तोऽहं राक्षसस्येति प्रेक्षध्वमिति चाब्रवीत् ॥ ३.१५८.५४ ॥
Laughing, Vṛkodara, the son of Kuntī, held those two back and said: "I am able to overcome this rākṣasa — look on."
3.158.55
आत्मना भ्रातृभिश्चैव धर्मेण सुकृतेन च ।
इष्टेन च शपे राजन्सूदयिष्यामि राक्षसम् ॥ ३.१५८.५५ ॥
O king, I swear by myself, by my brothers, by dharma, by good deeds and by sacrifice: I will slay that rākṣasa.
3.158.56
इत्येवमुक्त्वा तौ वीरौ स्पर्धमानौ परस्परम् ।
बाहुभिः समसज्जेतामुभौ रक्षोवृकोदरौ ॥ ३.१५८.५६ ॥
Having spoken thus, the two heroes, contending with each other, engaged with their arms — the rākṣasa and Vṛkodara.
3.158.57
तयोरासीत्संप्रहारः क्रुद्धयोर्भीमरक्षसोः ।
अमृष्यमाणयोः सङ्ख्ये शक्रशम्बरयोरिव ॥ ३.१५८.५७ ॥
Between the enraged Bhīma and the rākṣasa there was a fierce clash, like that of Śakra and Śambara in battle, neither enduring the other's insolence.
3.158.58
तौ वीरौ समभिक्रुद्धावन्योन्यं पर्यधावताम् ।
आरुज्यारुज्यतौ वृक्षानन्योन्यमभिजघ्नतुः।
जीमूताविव धर्मान्ते विनदन्तौ महाबलौ ॥ ३.१५८.५८ ॥
The two heroes, fully enraged, rushed at each other. Breaking trees, they struck one another — like two thunderclouds roaring at the end of the rains, both of great strength.
3.158.59
बभञ्जतुर्महावृक्षानूरुभिर्बलिनां वरौ ।
अन्योन्येनाभिसंरब्धौ परस्परवधैषिणौ ॥ ३.१५८.५९ ॥
The best of the strong, the two of them broke great trees with their thighs, fiercely angered against each other, each seeking the other's death.
3.158.60
तद्वृक्षयुद्धमभवनमहीरुहविनाशनम् ।
वालिसुग्रीवयोर्भ्रात्रोः पुरेव कपिसिंहयोः ॥ ३.१५८.६० ॥
That tree-fight of Vāli and Sugrīva, the two brother lions among monkeys, brought about the destruction of great trees, as before.
3.158.61
आविध्याविध्य तौ वृक्षान्मुहूर्तमितरेतरम् ।
ताडयामासतुरुभौ विनदन्तौ मुहुर्मुहुः ॥ ३.१५८.६१ ॥
For a moment, brandishing the trees again and again, the two struck at each other, roaring, striking time and again.
3.158.62
तस्मिन्देशे यदा वृक्षाः सर्व एव निपातिताः ।
पुगीकृताश्च शतशः परस्परवधेप्सया ॥ ३.१५८.६२ ॥
When in that place all the trees had been felled and piled up by hundreds, with the desire to kill each other.
3.158.63
ततः शिलाः समादाय मुहूर्तमिव भारत ।
महाभ्रैरिव शैलेन्द्रौ युयुधाते महाबलौ ॥ ३.१५८.६३ ॥
Then, O Bhārata, taking up rocks as if for a moment, the two mighty ones fought like two mountain-kings with great clouds.
3.158.64
शिलाभिरुग्ररूपाभिर्बृहतीभिः परस्परम् ।
वज्रैरिव महावेगैराजघ्नतुरमर्षणौ ॥ ३.१५८.६४ ॥
With fierce-shaped large rocks, with great speed like thunderbolts, the two unforgiving ones struck each other.
3.158.65
अभिद्रुत्य च भूयस्तावन्योन्यबलदर्पितौ ।
भुजाभ्यां परिगृह्याथ चकर्षाते गजाविव ॥ ३.१५८.६५ ॥
Then, proud of each other's strength, rushing again, they seized each other with their arms and dragged, like two elephants.
3.158.66
मुष्टिभिश् महाघोरैरन्योन्यमभिपेततुः ।
ततः कटकटाशब्दो बभूव शुमहात्मनोः ॥ ३.१५८.६६ ॥
With terrible fists they rushed upon each other, and from the two great-souled ones there arose a sound of kaṭa-kaṭa.
3.158.67
ततः संहृत्यमुष्टिं तु पञ्चशीर्षमिवोरगम् ।
वेगेनाभ्यहनद्भीमो राक्षसस्य शिरोधराम् ॥ ३.१५८.६७ ॥
Then Bhīma, gathering his fist, like a five-headed serpent struck the rākṣasa's neck with force.
3.158.68
ततः श्रान्तं तु तद्रक्षो भीमसेनभुजाहतम् ।
सुपरिभ्रान्तमालक्ष्य भीमसेनोऽभ्यवर्तत ॥ ३.१५८.६८ ॥
Then seeing that rākṣasa, exhausted and struck by Bhīmasena's arm, reeling greatly, Bhīmasena advanced toward him.
3.158.69
तत एनं महाबाहुर्बाहुभ्याममरोपमः ।
समुत्क्षिप्य बलाद्भीमो निष्पिपेष महीतले ॥ ३.१५८.६९ ॥
Then that mighty-armed Bhīma, like a god, lifted him up by force with both arms and crushed him upon the ground.
3.158.70
ततः संपीड्य बलवद्भुजाभ्यां क्रोधमूर्च्छितः ।
तस्य गात्राणि सर्वाणि चूर्णयामास पाण्डवः।
अरत्निना चाभिहत्य शिरः कायादपाहरत् ॥ ३.१५८.७० ॥
Then the Pāṇḍava, overcome with rage, pressed him mightily with both arms and crushed all his limbs to powder; and striking him with his forearm, he tore the head from the body.
3.158.71
संदष्टौष्ठं विवृत्ताक्षं फलं वृक्षादिव च्युतम् ।
जटासुरस्य तु शिरो भीमसेनबलाद्धृतम्।
पपात रुधिरादिग्धं संदष्टदशनच्छदम् ॥ ३.१५८.७१ ॥
The head of Jaṭāsura, lips clamped over the teeth and eyes rolled back, seized by Bhīmasena's strength, fell smeared with blood like a fruit dropping from a tree.
3.158.72
तं निहत्यमहेष्वासो युधिष्ठिरमुपागमत् ।
स्तूयमानो द्विजाग्र्यैस्तु मरुद्भिरिव वासवः ॥ ३.१५८.७२ ॥
Having slain him, the great archer came to Yudhiṣṭhira, praised by the foremost of the twice-born, like Vāsava praised by the Maruts.
