Bhagadatta

Mbh.1.2.443	First comes the installation in the command of the army of the great instructor in arms, Drona: then the vow made by that great master of weapons of seizing the wise Yudhishthira in battle to please Duryodhana; then the retreat of Arjuna from the field before the Sansaptakas, then the overthrow of Bhagadatta like to a second Indra in the field, with the elephant Supritika, by Arjuna; then the death of the hero Abhimanyu in his teens, alone and unsupported, at the hands of many Maharathas including Jayadratha; then after the death of Abhimanyu, the destruction by Arjuna, in battle of seven Akshauhinis of troops and then of Jayadratha; then the entry, by Bhima of mighty arms and by that foremost of warriors-in-chariot, Satyaki, into the Kaurava ranks impenetrable even to the gods, in search of Arjuna in obedience to the orders of Yudhishthira, and the destruction of the remnant of the Sansaptakas.
Mbh.1.67.3436	And he who was known as the great Asura Vashkala became on earth the great Bhagadatta.

Mbh.2.10.405	And Kinnaras by hundreds and innumerable kings with Bhagadatta as their chief, and Druma, the chief of the Kimpurushas, and Mahendra, the chief of the Rakshasas, and Gandhamadana accompanied by many Yakshas and Gandharvas and many Rakshasas wait upon the lord of treasures.
Mbh.2.14.589	He also that beareth on his head that gem which is known as the most wonderful on earth, that king of the Yavanas, who hath chastised Muru and Naraka, whose power is unlimited, and who ruleth the west like another Varuna, who is called Bhagadatta, and who is the old friend of thy father, hath bowed his head before Jarasandha, by speech and specially by act.
Mbh.2.25.1142	Bhagadatta, hearing this, said, O thou who hast Kunto for thy mother, as thou art to me, so is Yudhishthira also.
Mbh.2.26.1145	SECTION XXVI Vaisampayana continued, thus addressed, Dhananjaya replied unto Bhagadatta, saying, If thou wilt give thy promise to do this, thou hast done all I desire.
Mbh.2.33.1421	And Dhritarashtra and Bhishma and Vidura of high intelligence; and all Kaurava brothers with Duryyodhana at their head; and Suvala the king of Gandhara and Sakuni endued with great strength; and Achala, and Vrishaka, and Karna that foremost of all charioteers; and Salya endued with great might and the strong Valhika; and Somadatta, and Bhuri of the Kuru race, and Bhurisravas and Sala; and Aswatthama, Kripa, Drona, and Jayadratha, the ruler of Sindhu; and Yajnasena with his sons, and Salya that lord of earth and that great car warrior king Bhagadatta of Pragjyotisha accompanied by all Mlechcha tribes inhabiting the marshy regions on the sea-shore; and many mountain kings, and king Vrihadvala; and Vasudeva the king of the Paundrayas, and the kings of Vanga and Kalinga; and Akastha and Kuntala and the kings of the Malavas and the Andhrakas; and the Dravidas and the Singhalas and the king of Kashmira, and king Kuntibhoja of great energy and king Gauravahana, and all the other heroic kings of Valhika; and Virata with his two sons, and Mavella endued with great might; and various kings and princes ruling in various countries; and, O Bharata king Sisupala endued with great energy and invincible in battle accompanied by his son, all of them came to the sacrifice of the son of Pandu.
Mbh.2.43.1732	Passing over Bhishmaka of abundant energy, and king Dantavakra, and Bhagadatta known for his innumerable sacrificial stakes, and Jayatsena the king of the Magadha, and Virata and Drupada, and Sakuni and Vrihadvala, and Vinda and Anuvinda of Avant Pandya, Sweta Uttama Sankhya of great prosperity, the proud Vrishasena, the powerful Ekalavya, and the great charioteer Kalinga of abundant energy, why dost thou praise Kesava?
Mbh.2.50.2111	And that great warrior king Bhagadatta, the brave ruler of Pragjyotisha and the mighty sovereign of the mlechchas, at the head of a large number of Yavanas waited at the gate unable to enter, with a considerable tribute comprising of horses of the best breed and possessing the speed of the wind.
Mbh.2.50.2112	And king Bhagadatta beholding the concourse had to go away from the gate, making over a number of swords with handles made of the purest ivory and well-adorned with diamonds and every kind of gems.
Mbh.3.250.12348	Other brave Kshatriyas of mighty energy headed by Bhagadatta, and all acquainted with celestial weapons, will slay thy foes.
Mbh.3.252.12443	Then going to the north, he subdued the sovereigns of that quarter and having effected the defeat of Bhagadatta, Radha's son ascended that mighty mountain Himavat, all along fighting his foes.
Mbh.5.4.104	Quickly send word to Salya, and to the kings under him, and to king Bhagadatta of immeasurable valour residing on the eastern sea-coast, and to fierce Hardikya, and Ahuka, and the king of the Mallas of powerful understanding, and Rochamana.
Mbh.5.19.828	And in the same way king Bhagadatta, gladdening the heart of Dhritarashtra's son, gave an Akshauhini of troops to him.
Mbh.5.66.3430	O Sanjaya, our grandsire, the son of Santanu, and Dhritarashtra, and Drona, and Kripa, and Karna, and king Vahlika, and Drona's son, and Somadatta, and Sakuni the son of Suvala; and Dussasana, and Sala, and Purumitra, and Vivingsati; Vikarna, and Chitrasena, and king Jayatsena, and Vinda and Anuvinda, the two chiefs of Avanti, and Bhurisravas, and king Bhagadatta, and king Jarasandha and other rulers of the earth, assembled there to fight for the good of the Kauravas, are all on the eve of death.
Mbh.5.161.7260	As regards my army, it is a veritable main with Saradwat's son as its large fish, Vivingsati as its huge snake, Bhishma as its current of immeasurable might, Drona as its unconquerable alligator, Karna and Salwa and Salya its fishes and whirlpools, the ruler of the Kamvojas its equine head emitting fire, Vrihadvala its fierce waves, Somadatta's son its whale, Yuyutsu and Durmarshana its waters, Bhagadatta its gale, Srutayus and Hridika's son its gulfs and bays, Dussasana its current, Sushena and Chitrayuda its water-elephants hippopotamus and crocodile, Jayadratha its submarine rock, Purumitra its depth, and Sakuni its shores!
Mbh.5.168.7620	The ruler of Pragjyotisha, the brave Bhagadatta of exceeding prowess, is the foremost of those holding the elephant hook, and is skilled also in fighting from a car.
Mbh.5.168.7622	Then Bhagadatta, O son of Gandhari, who regarded Indra as his friend, made friendship with Indra's son the high-souled Pandava.
Mbh.6.17.875	And king Bhagadatta, blazing with energy and riding on that elephant of his, went out like the wielder of the thunder.
Mbh.6.17.876	And the two princes of Avanti named Vinda and Anuvinda, who were regarded as equal to Bhagadatta, followed Ketumat, riding on the necks of their elephants.
Mbh.6.45.2246	And against the heroic Bhagadatta in battle, Virata, the commander of a large division, rushed impetuously, O king, and then commenced their combat.
Mbh.6.45.2247	Virata, exceedingly provoked, poured on Bhagadatta an arrowy shower like, O Bharata, the clouds showering rain on the mountain breast.
Mbh.6.45.2248	But Bhagadatta, that lord of the earth, speedily enveloped Virata in that encounter with arrows like the clouds enveloping the risen sun.
Mbh.6.51.2665	And Bhurisravas, and Sala, and Salya, and Bhagadatta, O sire, and Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti, protected the left flank.
Mbh.6.56.2974	And Bhurisravas and Sala, and Salya and Bhagadatta, O sire, and the Madrakas, the Sindhu-Souviras, and they that were called the Pancha-nodas, together with Jayadratha, were placed on its neck.
Mbh.6.64.3463	Thus addressed, all the troops of the Dhritarashtra army, excited with rage, rushed towards Bhimasena endued with great might, And Bhagadatta, O king, on his elephant of rent temples, suddenly rushed thither where Bhimasena was stationed.
Mbh.6.64.3465	Those mighty car-warriors, however, of the Pandava army, relying on the prowess of their own arms, could not bear that shrouding of Bhima with the arrowy showers of Bhagadatta.
Mbh.6.64.3466	They, therefore, surrounding Bhagadatta on all sides, poured on him their arrowy down-pours.
Mbh.6.64.3469	And that elephant with temporal juice trickling down urged by Bhagadatta, like the Destroyer, ran with double his former speed, shaking the very earth with his tread.
Mbh.6.64.3471	Then king Bhagadatta, that tiger among men, excited with rage, struck Bhimasena between his two breasts with a straight shaft.
Mbh.6.64.3473	And beholding those mighty car-warriors terrified and Bhimasena in a swoon, Bhagadatta of great prowess uttered a loud roar.
Mbh.6.64.3478	Then Ghatotkacha urged his own elephant to battle, desirous, O chastiser of foes, of slaying Bhagadatta with his elephant.
Mbh.6.64.3480	And the elephant of Bhagadatta, thus afflicted by those elephants, already struck with arrows and feeling great pain, uttered loud cries that resembled the thunder of Indra.
Mbh.6.64.3481	And hearing those terrible and loud cries of that roaring elephant, Bhishma, addressing Drona, Suyodhana and all the kings, said, The mighty bowman Bhagadatta is battling with the wicked-souled son of Hidimva, and hath fallen into great distress.
Mbh.6.64.3491	Hearing these words of Bhishma, all the kings of the Kuru army, headed by Bharadwaja's son, desirous of rescuing Bhagadatta, proceeded with great speed to where the ruler of the Pragjyotishas was.
Mbh.6.65.3556	Duryodhana said, Drona and thou, and Salya, and Kripa, and Drona's son, and Kritavarman the son of Hridika, and Sudakshina the ruler of the Kamvojas, and Bhurisravas, and Vikarna, and Bhagadatta of exceeding prowess, are all regarded as mighty car-warriors.
Mbh.6.76.4027	It is also protected by Bhagadatta and Vikarna by Drona's son, and Suvala's son, and Valhika and by many other mighty and high-souled heroes of the world.
Mbh.6.82.4258	SECTION LXXXII Sanjaya said, O chief of the Bharatas, Ganga's son, once more addressing thy son who was plunged in thought, told him these delightful words, Myself and Drona and Salya and Kritavarman of Satwata's race, and Aswatthaman and Vikarna and Bhagadatta and Suvala's son and Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti, and Valhika with the Valhikas and the mighty king of the Trigartas and the invincible ruler of the Magadhas, Vrihadvala the king of the Kosalas, and Chitrasena and Vivingsati and many thousands of car-warriors graced with tall standards, a large number of country-born steeds well-mounted with excellent horse-soldiers and many infuriate elephants of large size with temporal juice issuing from their mouths and cheeks, and many brave foot-soldiers armed with diverse weapons and born in diverse realms, are all prepared to do battle for thy sake
Mbh.6.84.4406	That prince of Rakshasa, the mighty son of Hidimva, on his car of solar effulgence furnished with a standard, rushed against Bhagadatta.
Mbh.6.84.4409	They could not, however, notice any distinction between Hidimva's son and Bhagadatta.
Mbh.6.84.4410	As the chief of the celestials, excited with wrath, had inspired the Danavas with fear, so did Bhagadatta, O king, frightened the Pandava warriors.
Mbh.6.84.4415	Then Ghatotkatcha, O king, in that dreadful battle, covered Bhagadatta with his arrows like the clouds pouring rain on the breast of Meru.
Mbh.6.84.4419	Cutting off by means of his sharp shafts those lances, the mighty-armed Rakshasa pierced Bhagadatta with seventy shafts, each resembling the thunder-bolt in force.
Mbh.6.84.4422	King Bhagadatta then cut off that swift dart furnished with a staff of gold and coursing impetuously towards him into three fragments, and thereupon it fell down on the ground.
Mbh.6.84.4424	Having vanquished in battle that hero of great valour and renowned prowess, who, O king, cannot be vanquished in battle by Yama himself or Varuna, king Bhagadatta with his elephant began to crush down the troops of the Pandavas like a wild elephant.
Mbh.6.88.4619	Next to Drona was the valiant Bhagadatta.
Mbh.6.88.4621	Behind Bhagadatta was Vrihadvala the king of the Kosalas accompanied by the Melakas, the Tripuras, and the Chichilas.
Mbh.6.90.4711	When my sons staying in the midst of those unretreating heroes, viz, Drona and Bhishma, and the high-souled Kripa, and Somadatta's heroic son and Bhagadatta, and Aswatthaman also, O son, and other brave warriors, are being still slain in battle, what can it be said save the result of fate
Mbh.6.93.4895	On the field of battle, with the mighty elephant of great speed, Bhagadatta placed himself in the very front of Duryodhana's car.
Mbh.6.96.5049	Or if thy grief on account of that fierce prince of the Rakshasas be too great, let this one proceed in battle against that wicked warrior, that is to say, king Bhagadatta who is equal unto Purandara himself in fight.
Mbh.6.96.5050	Having said this much unto the king, the grandsire skilled in speech then addressed Bhagadatta in the presence of the Kuru king, saying, Proceed quickly, O great monarch, against that invincible warrior, viz, the son of Hidimva.
Mbh.6.96.5056	Hearing these words of Bhishma the generalissimo of the Kaurava army, Bhagadatta specially set out with a leonine roar facing the ranks of the foe.
Mbh.6.96.5059	Bhagadatta then, on his elephant named Supratika, rushed against them.
Mbh.6.96.5060	Then commenced a fierce and awful battle between the Pandavas and Bhagadatta, that increased the population of Yama's kingdom.
Mbh.6.96.5067	And during the progress of the battle making the hair stand on end, that great bowman, viz, Bhagadatta, rushed towards Bhimasena, on his elephant of rent temples and with juice trickling down in seven currents and resembling on that account a mountain with as many rillets flowing down its breast after a shower.
Mbh.6.96.5069	King Bhagadatta afflicted Bhimasena with that arrowy shower like the clouds afflicting the mountain breast with torrents of rain on the expiry of summer.
Mbh.6.96.5070	That mighty bowman Bhimasena, however, excited with rage, slew by his arrowy showers the combatants numbering more than a hundred, that protected the flanks and rear of Bhagadatta
Mbh.6.96.5071	Beholding them slain, the valiant Bhagadatta, filled with rage, urged his prince of elephants towards Bhimasena's car.
Mbh.6.96.5086	Placing Bhima at their head, they rushed at Bhagadatta scattering diverse kinds of arrows and diverse kinds of weapons.
Mbh.6.96.5087	Hearing the fierce shouts, O king, of those advancing warriors swelling with rage and vengeance, that great bowman Bhagadatta, filled with rage and perfectly fearless, urged his own elephant.
Mbh.6.96.5092	Beholding, then the Pandava array broken by the intelligent Bhagadatta, Ghatotkacha, of fierce mien, O king, with blazing face and eyes red as fire, filled with rage, rushed towards him.
Mbh.6.96.5098	Beholding that dart of his adversary, O king, divided in twain and fallen on the ground, Bhagadatta took up a large javelin furnished with a golden staff and resembling a flame of fire in effulgence, and hurled it at the Rakshasa, saying, Wait, Wait.
Mbh.6.96.5104	Hearing, however, those loud shouts of the rejoicing Pandavas, that great bowman, viz, the valiant Bhagadatta, could not bear it coolly.
Mbh.6.96.5114	Deeply pierced by Bhagadatta in that battle, and exceedingly pained, Visoka thereupon, O chief of the Bharatas, sat down on the terrace of the car.
Mbh.6.96.5121	Bhagadatta also, upon that elephant of his, O Bharata, crushing the Pandava ranks, rushed towards Yudhishthira.
Mbh.6.96.5122	Then commenced a fierce battle between Bhagadatta, O sire, and the Panchalas, the Srinjayas, and the Kekayas, with upraised weapons.
Mbh.6.97.5144	Then Santanu's son, Bhishma, and that foremost of car-warriors, viz, Kripa, and Bhagadatta, and Susarman, all went towards Dhananjaya.
Mbh.6.97.5167	Meanwhile, Ganga's son, and Bhagadatta, and that mighty car-warrior, viz, Gautama, began to resist Arjuna, that impetuous son of Pandu.
Mbh.6.100.5336	Drona and Bhurisravas and Salya and Bhagadatta, O sire, clad in mail, took up their position in the right wing of that array.
Mbh.6.103.5510	And similarly Bhagadatta also, and the mighty Srutayush, surrounded Bhima on all sides with an elephant division.
Mbh.6.109.5924	Next behind was Bhagadatta surrounded by his elephant division.
Mbh.6.109.5925	And behind Bhagadatta were Kripa and Kritavarman.
Mbh.6.109.5976	of Avanti, and Sudakshina the ruler of the Kamvojas, and the brave Bhagadatta, and the mighty king of the Magadhas, and Somadatta's son, and the brave Rakshasas who is Rishyasringa's son and the ruler of the Trigartas, alone with all the other great car-warriors of the Kuru army.
Mbh.6.112.6081	Then Bhagadatta, excited with rage, afflicted him of Madhu's race in that battle with many sharp arrows like a guide piercing a huge elephant with the hook.
Mbh.6.112.6084	Then that slayer of hostile heroes, excited with rage and taking up another bow of greater impetus, pierced Bhagadatta in that battle with many sharp arrows.
Mbh.6.112.6085	That mighty bowman, viz, Bhagadatta, then deeply pierced, began to lick the corners of his mouth.
Mbh.6.114.6190	SECTION CXIV Sanjaya said, Hearing these words of the high-souled Drona, Bhagadatta and Kripa and Salya and Kritavarman, and Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti, and Jayadratha the ruler of the Sindhus, and Chitrasena and Vikarna and Durmarshana and others, these ten warriors of thy army, supported by a large host consisting of many nationalities, fought with Bhimasena, desirous of winning high renown in the battle for Bhishma's sake.
Mbh.6.114.6192	And Chitrasena and Vikarna and Bhagadatta, O sire, each struck him with ten arrows.
Mbh.6.114.6210	And Kripa and Kritavarman and the valiant Bhagadatta, and Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti, and Chitrasena, and Durmarshana, and Vikarna, and the valiant ruler of the Sindhus also, in that battle, These chastisers of foes, all quickly pierced Bhima for the sake of Salya.
Mbh.6.114.6223	Bhima, however, in that battle, having pierced Salya with nine arrows made wholly of iron, and Bhagadatta with three, and Kritavarman with eight, pierced each of the others with Gautama at their head, with two arrows.
Mbh.6.114.6227	The heroic and mighty Bhagadatta then, in that battle, hurled at him a dart of fierce impetuosity furnished with a golden staff.
Mbh.6.114.6234	That mighty car-warrior then, having cut off the arrow sped by the ruler of the Madras, forcibly cut off the dart sped by Bhagadatta in that battle.
Mbh.6.117.6398	King Bhagadatta, however, of great prowess then rushed at Arjuna, and checked his course in battle with showers of arrows.
Mbh.6.120.6562	Thereupon mighty car-warriors, seven in number, viz, Drona and Kritavarman, and Jayadratha the ruler of the Sindhus, and Bhurisravas, and Sala, and Salya, and Bhagadatta could not brook that act of Arjuna.
Mbh.7.14.606	King Drupada was engaged with Bhagadatta.
Mbh.7.14.608	That bull among men, viz, Bhagadatta, pierced king Drupada and his driver and standard and car with many straight shafts.
Mbh.7.24.1274	Meanwhile, king Yudhishthira, thinking Vrikodara to have been slain, surrounded Bhagadatta on all sides, aided by the Panchalas.
Mbh.7.24.1275	Having surrounded him with numerous cars, king Yudhishthira that foremost of car-warriors, covered Bhagadatta with keen shafts by hundreds and thousands.
Mbh.7.24.1276	Then Bhagadatta, that king of the mountainous regions, frustrating with his iron hook that shower of arrows, began to consume both the Pandavas and the Panchalas by means of that elephant of his.
Mbh.7.24.1278	O monarch, the feat that we then beheld, achieved by old Bhagadatta with his elephant, was highly wonderful.
Mbh.7.24.1281	Then the elephant of Bhagadatta, wheeling round and attacking the elephant of the king of the Dasarnas, ripped open the latter's flank and slew it outright.
Mbh.7.24.1282	Then Bhagadatta himself with seven lances bright as the rays of the sun, slew his human antagonist seated on the elephant just when the latter was about to fall down from his seat.
Mbh.7.24.1283	Piercing king Bhagadatta then with many arrows, Yudhishthira surrounded him on all sides with a large number of cars.
Mbh.7.24.1292	Indeed, Bhagadatta, mounted on that elephant of his, began to smite down the Pandavas, like the chief of the celestials mounted on Airavata smiting down the Danavas in days of old
Mbh.7.24.1294	And while the Pandava troops were thus destroyed by Bhagadatta, Bhima, excited with rage, once more rushed against the ruler of the Pragjyotisha.
Mbh.7.24.1296	Then Kriti's son, Ruchiparvan, mounted on his car, quickly rushed against Bhagadatta, scattering showers of arrows and advancing like the Destroyer himself.
Mbh.7.24.1297	Then Bhagadatta, that ruler of the hilly regions, possessed of beautiful limbs, despatched Ruchiparvan with a straight shaft to Yama's abode
Mbh.7.24.1305	Meanwhile, king Bhagadatta on his elephant, shooting shafts on the foe, looked resplendent like the Sun himself scattering his rays on the earth.
Mbh.7.24.1309	Like a cowherd belabouring his cattle in the forest with a goad, Bhagadatta repeatedly smote the Pandava host.
Mbh.7.24.1314	Mounted on that foremost of elephants, king Bhagadatta penetrated the hostile army like the Asura Virochana in days of old into the celestial host in battle well-protected by the gods.
Mbh.7.25.1318	Beholding the risen dust and hearing the wail of the troops when Bhagadatta was performing great feats on the field, the son of Kunti addressed Krishna and said O slayer of Madhu, it seems that the ruler of the Pragjyotishas hath, on his elephant, with great impetuosity, advanced to battle.
Mbh.7.25.1327	At these words of Arjuna, Krishna began to proceed to the place where Bhagadatta was breaking the Pandava ranks.
Mbh.7.25.1328	While Arjuna was proceeding towards Bhagadatta, the mighty Samsaptaka car-warriors, numbering fourteen thousand, made up of ten thousand Gopalas or Narayanas who used to follow Vasudeva, returning to the field, summoned him to battle.
Mbh.7.25.1329	Beholding the Pandava host broken by Bhagadatta, and summoned on the other hand by the Samsaptakas, Arjuna's heart was divided in twain.
Mbh.7.25.1349	Having slain the Samsaptakas then, that is, who were engaged in battle, Partha addressed Krishna, saying, Go towards Bhagadatta
Mbh.7.26.1372	And when that division was being thus crushed, king Bhagadatta, on that same elephant of his, impetuously rushed towards Arjuna.
Mbh.7.26.1373	Thereupon, Dhananjaya, that tiger among men, staying on his car, received Bhagadatta.
Mbh.7.26.1375	Those two heroes, viz, Bhagadatta and Dhananjaya, then coursed on the field, the one on his car and the other on his elephant, both of which were equipped according to the rules of science.
Mbh.7.26.1376	Then Bhagadatta, like the lord Indra, from his elephant looking like a mass of clouds, poured on Dhananjaya showers of arrows.
Mbh.7.26.1377	The valiant son of Vasava, however, with his arrows, cut off those arrowy showers of Bhagadatta before they could reach him.
Mbh.7.26.1378	The king of the Pragjyotishas, then, baffling that arrowy shower of Arjuna, struck both Partha and Krishna, O king, with many shafts and overwhelming both of them with a thick shower of shafts, Bhagadatta then urged his elephant for the destruction of Krishna and Partha.
Mbh.7.27.1383	SECTION XXVII Dhritarashtra said, Filled with rage, what did Partha, the son of Pandu, do to Bhagadatta?
Mbh.7.27.1387	Indeed, O monarch, from the neck of his elephant, Bhagadatta scattered showers of shafts on the two Krishnas, staying upon their car.
Mbh.7.27.1389	Those shafts whose touch resembled that of fire, equipped with beautiful feathers, and shot by Bhagadatta, passing through Devaki's son, entered the earth.
Mbh.7.27.1391	Then Bhagadatta hurled at him fourteen lances of sharp points, that were bright as the rays of the sun.
Mbh.7.27.1399	Deeply pierced with those shafts of Arjuna, that were beautifully winged with Kanka feathers, Bhagadatta, O monarch, became incensed with the son of Pandu.
Mbh.7.27.1403	Thus addressed by him, Bhagadatta became filled with rage, and taking up a bright bow showered upon both the Pandava and Govinda his arrowy down-pours.
Mbh.7.27.1407	That all-slaying weapon, hurled by Bhagadatta, Kesava, covering Arjuna, received on his breast.
Mbh.7.27.1437	Slay now, O Partha, that invincible foe of thine, viz, Bhagadatta, enemy of the gods, even as I formerly slew for the good of the worlds, the Asura Naraka'
Mbh.7.27.1438	Thus addressed by the high-souled Kesava, Partha suddenly overwhelmed Bhagadatta with clouds of whetted arrows.
Mbh.7.27.1441	Though urged repeatedly then by Bhagadatta, the elephant refused to obey like a poor man's wife her lord.
Mbh.7.27.1444	The son of Pandu then, with a straight shaft furnished with a crescent-shaped head, pierced the bosom of king Bhagadatta.
Mbh.7.27.1445	His breast, being pierced through by the diadem-decked Arjuna, king Bhagadatta, deprived of life, threw down his bow and arrows.
Mbh.7.28.1449	SECTION XXVIII Sanjaya said, Having slain Bhagadatta who was ever the favourite and I friend of Indra and who was possessed of great energy, Partha circumambulated him.
Mbh.7.144.7557	Satyaki and Arjuna also have slain hundreds of heroes with Bhimasena as their foremost, and Bhagadatta also, O sire!

Mbh.7.195.10871	He hath been righteously slain by me in battle, O son of Pandu, even as thou hast slain the brave Bhagadatta, thy friend.

Mbh.9.2.100	When Bhagadatta, skilled in fight from the backs of elephants, has been slain, and when Jayadratha hath been slain, what can it be but destiny?
Mbh.9.22.1512	After the fall of heroic Bhagadatta, of the Kamboja chief Sadakshina, and of Duhshasana, the carnage did not still cease!

Mbh.9.62.4528	I am now like a moneyless wayfarer and shall follow in the wake of Drona who has already gone to heaven, of Karna and Shalya, of Vrishasena of great energy, of Shakuni the son of Subala, of Jalasandha of great valour, of king Bhagadatta, of Somadatta's son, that mighty bowman, of Jayadratha, the king of the Sindhus, of all my brothers headed by Duhshasana and equal unto myself, of Duhshasana's son of great prowess, and of Lakshmana, my son, and thousands of others that fought for me.
