Mbh.9.17.1093	Having taken up that foremost of bows, that first of bowmen pierced the son of Hridika with ten arrows in the centre of the chest.
Mbh.9.17.1105	Meanwhile the son of Hridika, riding upon another car, advanced to that spot.
Mbh.9.17.1107	Then Ashvatthama, taking up on his car the son of Hridika who had been made steedless and carless by the Pandava king, bore him away from Yudhishthira's presence.
