Mbh.5.94.4420	And before Vasudeva sat Karna and Duryodhana, while behind him were seated the Vrishnis with Kritavarman.
Mbh.5.94.4434	And Dussasana gave an excellent seat to Satyaki, while Vivingsati gave another golden one to Kritavarman.
Mbh.5.130.5767	And because of that knowledge, he soon issued out of the court, accompanied by Hridika's son Kritavarman.
Mbh.5.130.5768	And Satyaki addressed Kritavarman, saying, Array the troops soon.
Mbh.5.131.5838	And arm-in-arm with Satyaki on one side and Hridika's son Kritavarman on the other, and obtaining permission of the Rishis, the slayer of Madhu went out.
Mbh.5.131.5844	And there also appeared, mounted on his car, that favourite hero of Vrishnis, the mighty car-warrior Kritavarman, the son of Hridika.

Mbh.6.45.2203	And the mighty bowman Satyaki rushed against Kritavarman.
Mbh.6.45.2205	And Satyaki afflicted Kritavarman, and Kritavarman afflicted Satyaki, with loud shouts and each weakened the other.
Mbh.6.47.2342	SECTION XLVII Sanjaya said, After the great part of the forenoon of that awful day had worn out, in that terrific engagement, O king, that was so destructive of foremost of men, Durmukha and Kritavarman, and Kripa, and Salya, and Vivinsati, urged by thy son, approached Bhishma and began to protect him.
Mbh.6.47.2352	Piercing Kritavarman with one arrow, and Salya with five, he weakened his great-grandsire with nine arrows.
Mbh.6.47.2363	And Kritavarman, and Kripa, and Salya also, O sire, piercing Arjuna's son, all failed to make him waver, for he stood firm like the Mainaka mountain.
Mbh.6.47.2380	And Bhima then, piercing Santanu's son Bhishma in that combat with three arrows, pierced Kripa with one, and Kritavarman with eight.
Mbh.6.47.2388	Achieving such a feat, O king, the ruler of the Madras speedily mounted on the splendid car of Kritavarman.
Mbh.6.47.2389	And beholding his brother Uttara slain and seeing Salya staying with Kritavarman, Virata's son Sweta blazed up in wrath, like fire blazing up with clarified butter.
Mbh.6.48.2485	And Valhika and Kritavarman, and Kripa, and Salya also, O Bharata, and the son of Jarasandha, and Vikarna, and Chitrasena, and Vivinsati, with great speed, when speed was so necessary, surrounding him on all sides, poured on Sweta ceaseless showers of arrows.
Mbh.6.49.2571	When, after the forenoon had passed away, the commander Sweta was, O Bharata, slain by Bhishma in that fierce conflict, Virata's son Sankha, that grinder of hostile ranks ever delighting in battle, beholding Salya stationed with Kritavarman on his car, suddenly blazed up with wrath, like fire with clarified butter.
Mbh.6.51.2667	And Aswatthaman, and Kripa, and Kritavarman of Satwata's race, with a very large division of the troops, were, stationed at the rear of the army.
Mbh.6.56.2972	And its two eyes were Bharadwaja's son and Kritavarman of Satwata's race.

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.6.71.3816	And Kripa and Kritavarman both rushed against Dhrishtadyumna.
Mbh.6.75.3975	And that foremost, of all bowmen, viz, Kritavarman, united with the ruler of the Kamvojas and with the Valhikas was stationed, O king, in its head.
Mbh.6.76.4026	And that host is protected by Drona and Bhishma and by Kritavarman and Kripa and Dussasana, and others headed by Jayadratha.
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.6.83.4367	Kritavarman, in that battle, covered with his arrows that mighty car-warrior Bhima.
Mbh.6.83.4369	Then that chastiser of foes viz, Bhimasena, excited with wrath, and laughing the while, sped some shafts at Kritavarman.
Mbh.6.83.4371	Then the mighty Bhimasena, slaying the four steeds of Kritavarman, felled the latter's charioteer, and then his beautiful standard.
Mbh.6.83.4372	And that slayer of hostile heroes viz, Bhima then pierced Kritavarman himself with many shafts of diverse kinds.
Mbh.6.83.4373	And Kritavarman, pierced all over, seemed to be excessively mangled in every limb.
Mbh.6.83.4374	Then from that car whose steeds had been slain, Kritavarman quickly went to the car of Vrishaka, in the very sight, O king, of both Salya and thy son.
Mbh.6.87.4604	And Drona, and Drona's son, and Kripa, and Salya, and Kritavarman of the Satwata race, surrounding the whole Dhartarashtra army, proceeded towards their tents.
Mbh.6.90.4750	And it was thus, O Bharata, that the Pandava host suffered destruction when Bhishma the son of Santanu, and Drona that foremost of car-warriors, and Aswatthaman, and Kripa, and Kritavarman, were inflamed with wrath.
Mbh.6.96.5048	Myself, and Drona, and Kripa, and Drona's son, and Kritavarman of the Satwata race, and Salya, and Somadatta's son, and that mighty car-warrior Vikarna, and thy heroic brothers headed by Dussasana, will all, for thy sake, battle against that mighty Rakshasas.
Mbh.6.97.5145	And Hridika's son Kritavarman and Valhika rushed towards Satyaki.
Mbh.6.100.5335	Kripa, and Kritavarman, and that mighty car-warrior Saivya, and Sakuni, and the ruler of the Sindhus, and Sudakshina the ruler of the Kamvojas, these all, together with Bhishma and thy sons, O Bharata, took up their stations in the van of the whole army and in the very front of the Kaurava array.
Mbh.6.105.5595	The heroic Satyaki, having pierced Kritavarman with five arrows, stayed in battle scattering his arrows by thousands.
Mbh.6.105.5605	Satyaki, having checked Kritavarman in that dreadful battle, fell upon the grandsire and rained on him shafts of diverse kinds
Mbh.6.109.5925	And behind Bhagadatta were Kripa and Kritavarman.
Mbh.6.111.6026	Kritavarman, O king, resisted Dhrishtadyumna who had reached the presence of Bhishma and who was exerting himself with great activity and vigour in that battle.
Mbh.6.112.6119	The son of Prishata, however, having pierced Kritavarman with five shafts made wholly of iron, once more, struck him quickly in the centre of the chest fifty shafts.
Mbh.6.112.6120	And similarly, O king, Prishata's son struck Kritavarman with nine sharp and blazing shaft, winged with the feathers of the Kanka bird.
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.6.114.6191	And Salya struck Bhima with nine arrows, and Kritavarman struck him with three, and Kripa with nine.
Mbh.6.114.6196	The brave Pandava, that slayer of hostile heroes, pierced Salya with seven arrows, and Kritavarman with eight.
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.6.114.6221	Of great renown, he then pierced Kripa with many arrows, and then, displaying great dexterity, he cut off with a keen-edged shaft the bow, with arrow fixed thereon, of the high-souled Kritavarman.
Mbh.6.114.6222	Then Kritavarman, that scorcher of foes, taking up another bow, struck Vrikodara between his eyebrows with a long arrow.
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.6.115.6247	And in that battle the Atiratha Arjuna, afflicting thy host, struck the ruler of the Pragjyotishas, and Jayadratha the king of the Sindhus, and Chitrasena, and Vikarna, and Kritavarman, and Durmarshana, O monarch, and those two mighty car-warriors, viz, the princes of Avanti, each with three arrows winged with the feathers of the Kanka and the peacock.
Mbh.6.115.6261	Kripa, and Kritavarman, and Jayadratha, the ruler of the Sindhus, and Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti, these did not forsake the battle.
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.7.7.218	And Kripa, and Kritavarman, and Chitrasena, and Vivinsati headed by Duhsasana, strove vigorously for protecting the left wing.
Mbh.7.14.597	Satyaki, laughing the while, pierced Kritavarman in the centre of the chest with a long arrow.
Mbh.7.14.600	Like the swiftly-coursing winds failing to move a mountain, Kritavarman was unable to move Satyaki or make him tremble.
Mbh.7.15.693	Then the mighty car-warrior Kritavarman quickly approached Salya who, deprived of his senses, was breathing hard as he lay on the field.
Mbh.7.15.694	And beholding him, O king, struck violently with the mace, and writhing like a snake, and deprived of his senses in a swoon, the mighty car-warrior Kritavarman, taking him upon his car, quickly bore the ruler of Madras away from the field.
Mbh.7.20.895	And Kritavarman and the illustrious Kripa formed the two eyes of that Garuda.
Mbh.7.35.1813	And Drona, and Drona's son, and Kripa and Karna and Kritavarman and Suvala's son, Vrihadvala, and the ruler of the Madras, and Bhuri, and Bhurisravas, and Sala, and Paurava and Vrishasena, shooting sharp shafts, checked Subhadra's son by means of those arrowy showers.
Mbh.7.35.1827	And Vivinsati, pierced him with seventy shafts, and Kritavarman with seven.
Mbh.7.35.1844	And Aswatthaman struck him with twenty, and Kritavarman with seven.
Mbh.7.37.1883	Careering with great speed like a circle of fire, he pierced Drona and Karna, and Kripa, and Salya and Drona's son, and Kritavarman of the Bhoja race, and Vrihadvala, and Duryodhana, and Somadatta, and mighty Sakuni, and diverse kings and diverse princes and diverse bodies of troops.
Mbh.7.44.2097	Beholding them broken and routed, Drona and Drona's son, and Vrihadvala, and Kripa, and Duryodhana, and Karna, and Kritavarman, and Suvala's son Sakuni, rushed in great wrath against the unvanquished son of Subhadra.
Mbh.7.44.2113	Then Drona, and Kripa, and Karna, and Drona's son and Vrihadvala, and Kritavarman, the son of Hridika, these six car-warriors, -encompassed Abhimanyu.
Mbh.7.45.2124	Then Drona, and Kripa, and Karna, and Drona's son, and Vrihadvala and Kritavarman, the son of Hridika, these six car-warriors, encompassed him.
Mbh.7.45.2129	And piercing Kritavarman with eighty shafts, he pierced Kripa with sixty.
Mbh.7.45.2141	And Karna struck him with two and twenty broad-headed arrows and Kritavarman struck him with four and ten.
Mbh.7.46.2204	He, of Bhoja's race viz, Kritavarman then slew his steeds, and Kripa slew his two Parshni charioteers.
Mbh.7.71.3103	Then Drona, Kripa and Karna and Drona's son, and the king of the Kosalas, and Kritavarman, these six car-warriors surrounded the son of Subhadra.
Mbh.7.85.3774	At the mouth of that needle, the great bowman Kritavarman took up his stand.
Mbh.7.85.3775	Next to Kritavarman, O sire, stood the ruler of the Kamvojas and Jalasandha.
Mbh.7.88.3920	Then, O King, Jaya, and Kritavarman of the Satwata race, and the ruler of the Kamvojas, and Srutayus, began to oppose the progress of Dhananjaya.
Mbh.7.89.3945	Indeed, avoiding the invincible Drona who stood immovable like the Mainaka mountain, Arjuna took up his position between Kritavarman and Sudakshina the ruler of the Kamvojas.
Mbh.7.89.3951	Then Kritavarman, that mighty car-warrior, taking up another bow, pierced Arjuna in the chest, O Bharata, with five arrows.
Mbh.7.89.3954	Beholding the son of Kunti obstructed before the car of Kritavarman, he of Vrishni's race thought that no time should be wasted.
Mbh.7.89.3955	Then Krishna addressing Partha, said, Do not show any mercy to Kritavarman!
Mbh.7.89.3957	Then Arjuna, stupefying Kritavarman with his arrows, proceeded, on his swift steeds, to the division of the Kamvojas.
Mbh.7.89.3958	Seeing Arjuna of white steeds penetrate into the Kamvoja force, Kritavarman became filled with wrath.
Mbh.7.89.3960	Indeed, Kritavarman, with his arrows resisted those two Panchala princes as they advanced, following Arjuna for protecting his wheels.
Mbh.7.89.3961	Then Kritavarman, the ruler of the Bhojas, pierced them both with sharp shafts, striking Yudhamanyu with three, and Uttamaujas with four.
Mbh.7.89.3965	Then those two warriors, taking up and stringing two other bows, began to pierce Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.89.3967	But those two princes, resisted by Kritavarman, obtained no admittance into the Dhritarashtra host, although those bulls among men struggled vigorously.
Mbh.7.89.3969	That slayer of foes, however, slew not Kritavarman although he had got him within reach.
Mbh.7.91.4151	He by whom Hridika's son Kritavarman, the ruler of the Bhojas, and thyself equal unto a celestial, have both been vanquished by the power of his weapons, he by whom Srutayus hath been slain, as also Sudakshina, and king Srutayus too, he by whom both Srutayus and Achyutayus and myriads of Mlecchas also have been slain, how can I contend in battle with that invincible son of Pandu, that accomplished master of weapons, who is even like an all-consuming fire?
Mbh.7.92.4235	One of these retreated towards Kritavarman, the chief of the Bhojas; another towards Jalasandha; and fiercely slaughtered the while by the Pandavas, proceeded towards Drona himself.
Mbh.7.94.4303	Bhimasena rushed against the mighty-armed Jalasandha, and Yudhishthira, at the head of his troops rushed, in that battle, against Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.98.4533	Indeed, beholding them freed from Drona and Kritavarman, thy warriors regarded the colour of Partha's and Krishna's face to be dreadful; and thy men then, from all sides, set up a loud wail.
Mbh.7.108.5152	Drona at the head of his troops, and Kritavarman also, in battle, will not succeed in beating us or afflicting me.
Mbh.7.110.5307	At this, wrathful Kritavarman came forward to resist Satyaki.
Mbh.7.110.5308	The valiant Satyaki striking the advancing Kritavarman with six shafts, quickly slew his four steeds with four other shafts.
Mbh.7.110.5309	And once again, he pierced Kritavarman in the centre of the chest with four other shafts.
Mbh.7.110.5310	And once again, he pierced Kritavarman in the centre of the chest with sixteen straight shafts of great speed.
Mbh.7.110.5311	Thus encountered; O monarch; with many shafts of fierce energy by him of the Satwata race, Kritavarman was unable to brook it.
Mbh.7.110.5314	Then, O king, Kritavarman, that warrior equipped with the highest weapons, shooting many shafts, cut off the bow of Satyaki with arrows fixed thereon.
Mbh.7.110.5316	Upon his bow being broken, the foremost of mighty men, viz, Satyaki, hurled a dart at the right arm of Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.110.5317	And taking up and drawing a tougher bow, Yuyudhana quickly shot at his foe, shafts by hundreds and thousands and entirely shrouded Kritavarman and his car with that arrowy downpour.
Mbh.7.110.5320	At this, the steeds of Kritavarman, deprived of a driver, ran away with great speed.
Mbh.7.110.5324	Resting for a short space of time, Kritavarman then urged those good steeds of his.
Mbh.7.110.5326	Satyaki, however, had by that time, left him behind, while Kritavarman himself now rushed against Bhimasena without pursuing Satyaki.
Mbh.7.110.5332	The heroic Kritavarman, O king, displaying his prowess, resisted all those warriors who, although they had become a little heartless, struggled yet with great vigour.
Mbh.7.111.5363	Drona constitutes the fathomless cave of that ocean, Kritavarman its vast vortex.
Mbh.7.111.5415	The mighty car-warrior Kritavarman, however, alone, resisted, in that battle the Pandavas thus rushing in fury and wrath with their followers against thy host.
Mbh.7.111.5418	Then the mighty-armed Bhima, piercing Kritavarman with three shafts, blew his conch, gladdening all the Pandavas.
Mbh.7.111.5422	Then Kritavarman, O king, pierced every one of those great car-warriors with five shafts, and Bhima again with seven.
Mbh.7.111.5426	Beholding Bhimasena in that condition, the Parthas headed by king Yudhishthira the just afflicted Kritavarman, O king, shooting at him many shafts.
Mbh.7.111.5428	Then mighty Bhimasena recovering consciousness, took up in that battle a dart made of steel and equipped with a golden staff, and hurled it with great speed from his own car at the car of Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.111.5429	That dart resembling a snake freed from its slough, hurled from Bhima's hands, fierce-looking, blazed forth as it proceeded towards Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.111.5434	Then O king, Bhima, of terrible might, struck Kritavarman, in the centre of the chest with five shafts, in consequence of thy evil policy, O monarch!
Mbh.7.111.5436	Then that mighty bowman, viz, Kritavarman, filled with rage, smilingly struck Bhimasena with three shafts, and having struck him forcibly, pierced in return every one of those great car-warriors struggling vigorously in battle, with three shafts.
Mbh.7.111.5440	Whirling his large shield, decked with gold, Sikhandin sent that sword towards the car of Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.111.5443	Meanwhile, those mighty car-warriors quickly and deeply pierced Kritavarman with their shafts in that battle.
Mbh.7.111.5448	Indeed, the heroic Kritavarman rushed at Sikhandin, displaying his might, like a tiger at an elephant.
Mbh.7.111.5452	And Kritavarman in that battle pierced that mighty car-warrior viz, Yajnasena's son, with three and seventy shafts and once more with seven.
Mbh.7.111.5456	The Parthas, beholding Sikhandin lying senseless on the terrace of his car, soon encompassed Kritavarman in that battle with crowds of cars.
Mbh.7.111.5457	The mighty car-warrior, Kritavarman, then achieved a most wonderful feat there, inasmuch as, alone, he held in check all the Parthas with their followers.
Mbh.7.112.5463	After the rout of that force by the high-souled son of Hridika, and upon the Parthas being humiliated with shame and thy troops elated with joy, he that became protector of the Pandavas who were solicitous of protection while sinking in that fathomless sea of distress, that hero, viz, the grandson of Sini, hearing that fierce uproar, of thy army in that terrible fight, quickly turned back and proceeded against Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.112.5464	Hridika's son, Kritavarman, then excited with wrath, covered the grandson of Sini with clouds of sharp shafts.
Mbh.7.112.5466	The grandson of Sini then quickly sped at Kritavarman a sharp and broad-headed arrow in the encounter and then four other arrows.
Mbh.7.112.5467	These tour arrows slew the steeds of Kritavarman, and the other cut off Kritavarman's bow.
Mbh.7.112.5472	Having, O monarch, forded the ocean constituted by Drona's division, and filled with joy at having vanquished Kritavarman in battle, that hero then addressed his charioteer, saying, Proceed slowly without fear'
Mbh.7.113.5551	Hearing that uproar, the mighty car-warrior Kritavarman quickly proceeded to that spot where the puissant Madhava.
Mbh.7.113.5553	And Kritavarman proceeded, shaking his bow, and urging his steeds, and urging his charioteer with the words, Go with speed, Go with speed'
Mbh.7.113.5554	Beholding Kritavarman rushing towards him like the Destroyer himself with wide-open mouth, Yuyudhana, O king, addressed his driver, saying, That Kritavarman, armed with arrows, is rushing in his car towards me with speed.
Mbh.7.113.5557	Kritavarman pierced Sini's grandson with six and twenty whetted arrows of keen points, and the latter's driver with five arrows.
Mbh.7.113.5559	Owning a standard decked with gold, and adorned with golden mail, Kritavarman, shaking his formidable bow, whose staff was decked with gold, thus checked, Yuyudhana with shafts equipped with golden wings.
Mbh.7.113.5560	Then the grandson of Sini, desirous of seeing Dhananjaya, sped with great activity eight arrows at Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.113.5563	Indeed, Satyaki, then aiming another arrow of golden wings, that emitted blazing flames and resembled an angry snake, or the rod of the Destroyer himself, pierced Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.113.5565	Afflicted with the shafts of Satwata, and bathed in blood in that battle, Kritavarman throwing aside his bow with arrow, fell upon his car.
Mbh.7.113.5567	Having thus resisted Kritavarman who resembled the thousand-armed Arjuna of old, or Ocean himself of immeasurable might, Satyaki proceeded onwards.
Mbh.7.118.5748	Numerous heroes, of whom Kritavarman is the first, contending vigorously in battle, could not slay Yuyudhana.
Mbh.7.127.6357	Thou mayest remember, O king, that formerly while Arjuna penetrated thy host from desire of battle, those two princes, O monarch, had been checked in their progress by Kritavarman.
Mbh.7.138.6916	Having with his shafts crushed Drona himself and Kritavarman of the Bhoja race, this Satyaki cometh to thee, O Phalguna!
Mbh.7.141.7121	SECTION CXLIII Dhritarashtra said, Unvanquished by Drona, and Radha's son and Vikarna and Kritavarman, how could the heroic Satyaki, never before checked in battle, having after his promise to Yudhishthira crossed the ocean of the Kaurava troops, being humiliated by the Kuru warrior Bhurisravas and forcibly thrown on the ground'
