Mbh.7.174.9476 | SECTION CLXXVI Sanjaya said, During the progress of that battle between Karna and the Rakshasa, the valiant Alayudha, that prince of Rakshasa, appeared on the field. |
Mbh.7.174.9492 | Endued with a blazing form, Alayudha rode a car bright like the sun. |
Mbh.7.174.9500 | The heroic Alayudha was as mighty-armed as Ghatotkacha, and the standard of his car, endued with the splendour of the sun or fire, was, like Ghatotkacha's, pierced upon by vultures and ravens. |
Mbh.7.174.9503 | As Alayudha came to battle, the principal kings of the Pandava army endued with great might, and armed with sword and shield, and clad in mail, engaged in fight, O king, with joyous hearts |
Mbh.7.175.9504 | SECTION CLXXVII Sanjaya said, Beholding Alayudha of terrible deeds come to battle, all the Kauravas became filled with delight. |
Mbh.7.175.9507 | They all offered a respectful welcome to Alayudha, During the progress of that terrible and superhuman battle between Karna and the Rakshasa at night, a battle which though fierce was yet delightful to behold, the Panchalas, with all the other Kshatriyas, smilingly looked on as spectators. |
Mbh.7.175.9511 | Then Duryodhana, beholding Karna fallen into great distress, summoned Alayudha and said unto him, Yonder Vikartana's son, Karna, is engaged with the son of Hidimva, and is accomplishing such feats in battle as are worthy of his might and prowess. |
Mbh.7.175.9519 | Beholding Ghatotkacha engaged with Alayudha in battle and afflicted like the leader of a bovine herd when engaged with a lion, Bhima, that foremost of smiters, disregarding the advancing Karna, rushed towards Alayudha, riding on his car of solar effulgence and scattering clouds of shafts. |
Mbh.7.175.9520 | Seeing Bhima advance, Alayudha, O lord, abandoning Ghatotkacha, proceeded against Bhima himself. |
Mbh.7.175.9522 | Similarly, Alayudha, that chastiser of foes, repeatedly covered the son of Kunti with straight shafts whetted on stone. |
Mbh.7.175.9528 | Amongst those arrows sped at him by Bhima, Alayudha speedily cut off some and seized others in that battle. |
Mbh.7.176.9556 | Abandoning Karna for the present, quickly slay Alayudha, O mighty armed one! |

Mbh.7.176.9559 | The battle then that took place at night between those two cannibals, viz, Alayudha and the son of Hidimva became fierce and dreadful, O Bharata. |
Mbh.7.176.9560 | Meanwhile, the mighty car-warrior Yuyudhana, and Nakula, and Sahadeva, pierced with keen shafts the warriors of Alayudha, those terrible-looking and heroic Rakshasas, armed with bows. |

Mbh.7.176.9569 | Hurled forcibly by that achiever of fierce feats, that mace crushed into pieces the steeds, the driver, and the loud-rattling car of Alayudha. |
Mbh.7.176.9575 | Beholding that illusion created by the Rakshasa Alayudha, the Rakshasa Ghatotkacha, soaring aloft, destroyed it by means of his own illusion. |
Mbh.7.176.9576 | Alayudha, beholding his own illusion destroyed by that of his foe, began to pour a heavy shower of stones on Ghatotkacha. |
Mbh.7.176.9581 | Indeed, the battle that took place between Bhima's son and Alayudha, was, O king, dreadful in the extreme, like that in days of old, O monarch, between Vali and Sugriva, those two princes among the monkeys. |
Mbh.7.176.9591 | Then the mighty son of Bhimasena threw down the head of the slain Alayudha before Duryodhana. |
Mbh.7.176.9592 | Duryodhana, beholding the heroic Alayudha slain, became, O Bharata, filled with anxiety, for all his troops. |

Mbh.8.5.145 | That prince of Rakshasas, viz, Alayudha, unto whose vehicle were yoked asses of monstrous shape hath been despatched to Yama's abode by Ghatotkaca exerting himself with great prowess. |

Mbh.9.2.104 | When king Alambusa, and the Rakshasas Alayudha, and Rishyasringa's son, have been slain, what can it be but destiny? |
