ततः कदाचिद्धरिसंप्रयुक्तं ।

हर्षोऽर्जुनं चिन्तयतां बभूव ॥ ३.१६६.१ ॥
Then at some time, yoked with steeds, Indra's vehicle came suddenly into view; seeing it, bright as lightning, joy arose in the great charioteers who were thinking of Arjuna.

शिखेव चाग्नेर्ज्वलिता विधूमा ॥ ३.१६६.२ ॥
Blazing, suddenly lighting up the sky, held by Mātali, he shone like a great meteor standing amid the clouds, or like the smokeless flame of fire.

प्रह्वोऽभवद्भ्रातुरुपह्वरे सः ॥ ३.१६६.५ ॥
He also saluted the revered feet of Vṛkodara (Bhīma); he was greeted by the two sons of Mādrī; having met Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī) and consoled her, he bowed humbly before his brother in a secluded place.
3.166.6
बभूव तेषां परमः प्रहर्ष-

Greatly delighted, they gave Mātali the supreme honour, equal to that of the king of the gods; and the sons of the Kuru king duly asked him about the assembly of the heavenly dwellers.
3.166.9
तानप्यसौ मातलिरभ्यनन्द-
त्पितेव पुत्राननुशिष्य पार्थान्।
ययौ रथेनाप्रतिमप्रभेण ।
पुनः सकाशं त्रिदिवेश्वरस्य ॥ ३.१६६.९ ॥
He too honoured them as a father honours his sons; and, having instructed the sons of Pṛthā, he went back in his chariot of incomparable splendour to the presence of the lord of the three heavens.
3.166.10
गते तु तस्मिन्वरदेववाहे ।
शक्रात्मजः सर्वरिपुप्रमाथी।
साक्षात्सहस्राक्ष इव प्रतीतः ।
श्रीमान्स्वदेहादवमुच्य जिष्णुः ॥ ३.१६६.१० ॥
When that excellent divine chariot had gone, Jiṣṇu, the son of Śakra, crusher of all foes, resplendent and seeming verily like the thousand-eyed one, took off from his own body (his armour).
3.166.11
शक्रेण दत्तानिददौ महात्मा ।
महाधनान्युत्तमरूपवन्ति।

शक्राच्च वायोश्च शिवाच्च साक्षात्।
तथैव शीलेन समाधिना च ।
प्रीताः सुरा मे सहिताः सहेन्द्राः ॥ ३.१६६.१३ ॥
Thus I learned the weapons directly from Indra, from Vāyu, and from Śiva; and likewise, through my good conduct and concentration, the gods together with Indra were pleased with me.

संक्षेपतो वै स विशुद्धकर्मा ।

Briefly he told them of his entry into heaven; then Kirīṭī, the one of pure deeds, pleased, slept in that dwelling together with the two sons of Mādrī.
