Mbh.8.40.2137	If, O ruler of the Madras, thou speakest such words again, I shall then crush thy head with my mace that is as hard as the thunder.

Mbh.8.43.2334	SECTION Sanjaya said, That chastiser of foes, viz, the son of Radha, thus silencing the ruler of the Madras, once more addressed him, O monarch, saying these words, In answer to that which, O Shalya, thou hast said unto me by way of instance, I tell thee that I am incapable of being frightened by thee in battle with thy words.
Mbh.8.44.2354	Sanjaya continued, Unto the ruler of Madras, of harsh features, who was saying such disagreeable things unto Karna, the latter once more said words that were twice bitter.
Mbh.8.44.2355	Karna said, Listen with devoted attention to this, O ruler of the Madras, that was heard by me while it was recited in the presence of Dhritarashtra.
Mbh.8.44.2409	The Prasthalas, the Madras, the Gandharas, the Arattas, those called Khasas, the Vasatis, the Sindhus and the Sauviras are almost as blamable in their practices
Mbh.8.46.2585	Unto the ruler of the Madras who was saying so, Karna, in rage, said, Behold, Partha is assailed on all sides by the angry samsaptakas.

Mbh.8.50.2814	Thus addressed by Karna, the ruler of the Madras began to urge those foremost of steeds, of the hue of swans, towards the spot where Vrikodara was.
Mbh.8.50.2826	Beholding Bhima, that delighter in battle, advancing quickly, the puissant king of the Madras addressed the Suta's son in the following words: Shalya said, Behold, O Karna, the mighty-armed son of Pandu, who is filled with rage.

Mbh.8.50.2831	Beholding Bhima, that delighter in battle, approaching him in that way, the son of Radha laughingly said unto Shalya these words, The words that thou, O ruler of the Madras, hast today spoken to me regarding Bhima, O lord, are without doubt all true.
Mbh.8.50.2864	The ruler of the Madras then, beholding the Suta's son deprived of his senses, bore that ornament of battle away on his car, from that fight.
Mbh.8.51.2886	Those steeds, O king, urged on by the ruler of Madras, approached with great speed the car of Bhimasena and mingled in battle.
Mbh.8.56.3209	That great bowman, fighting single-handed with the Bahlikas, and the Kaikayas, the Matsyas, the Vasatas, the Madras, and Saindhavas, looked exceedingly resplendent.

Mbh.8.68.3941	This one will subjugate the Madras, the Kalingas, and the Kaikeyas.
Mbh.8.73.4408	If in consequence of thy regard for that foremost of men, viz, thy preceptor Drona, thou cherishest compassion for Ashvatthama, if, again, thou hast any kindness for Kripa for the sake of respect that is due to a preceptor, if, approaching Kritavarma, thou dost not despatch him today to Yama's abode in consequence of the honour that is due to one's kinsmen by the mother's side, if, O lotus-eyed one, approaching thy mother's brother, viz, Shalya, the ruler of the Madras, thou dost not from compassion slay him, I ask thee, do thou, with keen shafts, O foremost of men slay Karna today with speed, that vile wretch of sinful heart who cherisheth the fiercest hate for the son of Pandu.
Mbh.8.78.4729	Thus urged, Shalya, the ruler of the Madras, endued with great might, urged those white steeds that were fleet as thought, towards the Cedis, the Pancalas and the Karushas.
Mbh.8.79.4804	Beholding Arjuna of white steeds and having Krishna for his driver thus advance, and seeing the standard of that high-souled one, the king of the Madras, addressing Karna, said, There cometh that car-warrior having white steeds yoked unto his vehicle and having Krishna for his driver, slaying his foes in battle.

Mbh.8.87.5374	Once more the ruler of the Madras said, If, O Karna, the white steeded Arjuna slays thee in battle today, I myself, on a single car, will slay both Madhava and Phalguna
Mbh.8.90.5636	Beholding Vaikartana aim that arrow, the high-souled ruler of the Madras, addressing Karna, said, This arrow, O Karna, will not succeed in striking off Arjuna's head.
Mbh.8.90.5638	Endued with great activity, the Suta's son, with eyes burning in wrath, then said unto the ruler of the Madras, O Shalya, Karna never aimeth an arrow twice.
Mbh.8.91.5878	Beholding the heroic Karna thrown down stretched on the earth, pierced with arrows and bathed in blood, the king of the Madras, went away on that car deprived of its standard.
Mbh.8.92.5892	The ruler of the Madras, with stupefied heart, quickly proceeding, O king, to the side of Duryodhana, on that car divested of standard said in sorrow these words, The elephants, the steeds, and the foremost of car-warriors of thy army have been slain.

Mbh.9.2.136	Who were they that protected the right wheel of the ruler of the Madras in battle?
Mbh.9.2.139	How, when all of you were together, could the mighty king of the Madras, as also my son, be slain, O Sanjaya, by the Pandavas?
Mbh.9.7.410	Thus addressed by Shalya, king Duryodhana cheerfully poured sanctified water, without losing any time, O best of the Bharatas, on the ruler of the Madras, in the midst of his troops, according to the rites ordained in the scriptures, O monarch.
Mbh.9.7.428	They regarded the Parthas as already slain and brought under the power of the ruler of the Madras.
Mbh.9.7.430	Hearing those shouts of thy army, king Yudhishthira, addressing him of Vrishni's race, said these words, in the hearing of all the Kshatriyas, The ruler of the Madras, Shalya, that great bowman who is highly regarded by all the warriors hath, O Madhava, been made the leader of his forces by Dhritarashtra's son.
Mbh.9.7.437	I think that the ruler of the Madras is in battle equal to Bhishma or Drona or Karna, or perhaps, superior to them.
Mbh.9.7.440	The king of the Madras, O monarch, endued with the prowess of a lion or an elephant, will career fearlessly in battle like the Destroyer himself in wrath amongst creatures at the time of the universal destruction.
Mbh.9.7.442	Save thee there is no other person in either heaven or the whole of this world, who, O son of Kuru's race, would be able to slay the ruler of the Madras while excited with wrath in battle.

Mbh.9.8.471	Those great car-warriors, having made such an understanding with one another placed the ruler of the Madras at their head and quickly proceeded against their foes.
Mbh.9.8.480	Cherishing that hope in his heart, and drawing comfort from it, O Bharata, thy son Duryodhana, relying in battle upon that mighty car-warrior, the ruler of the Madras, regarded himself as possessed of a protector.
Mbh.9.8.482	Assuring him duly, the valiant king of the Madras, having formed, O monarch, a grand array whose arrangements were auspicious in every respect, proceeded against the Parthas in battle.

Mbh.9.10.631	Smilingly, all thy warriors, filled with rage, speedily encompassed the ruler of the Madras and stood from desire of battle.

Mbh.9.11.648	The Pandavas also, O monarch, in that encounter, inspired with desire of victory, proceeded against the ruler of the Madras and pierced him with keen shafts.

Mbh.9.11.665	Infuriate with rage and prowess, the ruler of the Madras shrouded his foes in that battle like Destroyer at the end of the Yuga.
Mbh.9.11.666	The mighty ruler of the Madras began to roar aloud like the clouds.
Mbh.9.11.683	The ruler of the Madras then slew the steeds of Sahadeva before his eyes.
Mbh.9.11.699	At this, the ruler of the Madras came down from his car and cheerlessly gazed at Bhima.
Mbh.9.11.701	Of tranquil soul, the ruler of the Madras took up his mace and began to cast his glances upon his foe.
Mbh.9.12.707	Save the ruler of the Madras, or Rama, that delighter of the Yadus, there is none else that can venture to endure the impetuosity of Bhima in battle.
Mbh.9.12.708	Similarly, save Bhima, there is no other warrior that can venture to endure the force of the mace of the illustrious king of the Madras in battle
Mbh.9.12.709	Those two combatants then, Vrikodara and the ruler of the Madras, roaring like bulls, careered in circles, frequently jumping up in the air.
Mbh.9.12.713	Struck by the ruler of the Madras with his mace, the mace of Bhima, O king, produced sparks of fire in the welkin which thereupon seemed to be ablaze.
Mbh.9.12.717	Struck by the ruler of the Madras on both his left and right, the mighty-armed Bhimasena stood immovable like a mountain.
Mbh.9.12.729	Then the mighty Kripa, taking up Shalya, that bull among the Madras, on his own car, quickly bore him away from the field of battle.
Mbh.9.12.730	Within, however, the twinkling of an eye, Bhimasena, rising up, and still reeling as if drunk, challenged, with uplifted mace, the ruler of the Madras.
Mbh.9.12.738	Kripa, and Kritavarma, and the mighty son of Subala, placing the ruler of the Madras before them, fought with king Yudhishthira the just.
Mbh.9.12.754	Conversant with what are the vital limbs of the body, the son of Pritha, however, O monarch, with the greatest ease, struck the ruler of the Madras with four and ten cloth-yard shafts, aiming at the latter's vital limbs.
Mbh.9.12.757	King Yudhishthira the just, possessed of great fame and filled with rage, pierced the ruler of the Madras with many keen arrows equipped with feathers of Kankas and peacocks.

Mbh.9.13.790	The ruler of the Madras, however, quickly baffled in that battle all those weapons, hurled from the arms of those five warriors at him, as these coursed towards his car.
Mbh.9.13.796	Insensate with rage, Satyaki took up another bow and pierced the ruler of the Madras with two shafts and his driver with three.
Mbh.9.13.798	Thus checked in that battle by the ruler of the Madras, O Bharata, those slayers of foes became unable to stay in front of Shalya.
Mbh.9.13.800	Then, O king, the mighty-armed Bhimasena, possessed of great prowess and mentally resolved to cast off his life-breaths, encountered the ruler of the Madras.
Mbh.9.13.802	Though encompassed by those four great bowmen and mighty car-warriors among the Pandavas, the valiant ruler of the Madras still fought with them.
Mbh.9.13.806	I hope, the rider of the Madras, excited with rage, will not annihilate my army in battle'
Mbh.9.13.807	Then the Pandavas, O elder brother of Pandu Dhritarashtra, with cars and elephants and steeds, approached the ruler of the Madras and began to afflict him from every side.
Mbh.9.13.808	Like the wind dispersing mighty masses of clouds, the king of the Madras, in that battle, dispersed that risen shower of arrows and diverse other kinds of weapons in profusion.
Mbh.9.13.810	Indeed, those arrows shot by the ruler of the Madras from the van of battle were seen to fall like swarms of birds.
Mbh.9.13.812	When a thick gloom appeared, caused by the arrows shot by the mighty ruler of the Madras owing to his extreme lightness of hands in that dreadful battle, and when they beheld the vast host of the Pandavas thus agitated by that hero, the gods and the Gandharvas became filled with great wonder.
Mbh.9.15.871	With patience and great strength, O monarch, the king of the Madras at the same time fought with the twins Nakula and Sahadeva, each of whom resembled the Destroyer himself in prowess.

Mbh.9.15.883	Bhimasena and Satyaki, rushing at the ruler of the Madras, both struck him with arrows winged with Kanka feathers, the former with sixty, and the latter with nine.

Mbh.9.15.886	Having made Satyaki carless, that mighty car-warrior, the ruler of the Madras, struck him with a hundred arrows from every side.
Mbh.9.15.888	The prowess that we then beheld of the ruler of the Madras was exceedingly wonderful, since the Parthas, even unitedly, could not approach him in that battle.
Mbh.9.15.889	Riding then upon another car, the mighty Satyaki, of prowess incapable of being baffled, beholding the Pandavas afflicted and succumbing to the ruler of the Madras, rushed with speed against him.
Mbh.9.15.891	The collision that then took place between Satyaki and the heroic ruler of the Madras, became fierce and wonderful to behold, even like that which had taken place in days of yore between the Asura Samvara and the chief of the celestials.

Mbh.9.15.902	The Earth became shrouded with the fierce shafts, equipped with feathers of Kankas and peacocks, that fell, sped from the arms of the ruler of the Madras.
Mbh.9.16.909	Nakula cast his glances on the ruler of the Madras from one of his flanks.
Mbh.9.16.919	While his troops were thus being slaughtered by the ruler of the Madras, Pandu's son, king Yudhishthira the just, became filled with rage.
Mbh.9.16.920	Relying upon his prowess, that mighty car-warrior began to afflict the ruler of the Madras, resolved to either win the battle or meet with death.
Mbh.9.16.924	I desire to vanquish that ruler of the Madras today in battle.
Mbh.9.16.940	Having made that vow, the king proceeded against the ruler of the Madras.
Mbh.9.16.942	Endued with great activity and filled with rage, they rushed, with loud shouts of joy, against the ruler of the Madras, that bull among the Kurus.
Mbh.9.16.944	Then thy son and the valiant ruler of the Madras, like the Udaya and the Asta hills, received those assailants.

Mbh.9.16.976	Similarly, the son of Kunti covered the ruler of the Madras with showers of arrows.
Mbh.9.16.977	Then those two heroes, the ruler of the Madras and Yudhishthira, mangled in that battle with each other's arrows and bathed in blood, looked like a Salmali and a Kinsuka tree decked with flowers.
Mbh.9.16.989	The son of Drona, at this time, speedily proceeded towards the ruler of the Madras who had been reduced to that plight, and quickly taking him up on his own car, fled away quickly.

Mbh.9.17.994	SECTION Sanjaya said, Taking up another bow that was very strong and much tougher, the ruler of the Madras pierced Yudhishthira and roared like a lion.

Mbh.9.17.1004	Protected by Bhimasena, and by the two sons of Madri, and by him of Madhu's race, the royal son of Dharma struck the ruler of the Madras in the centre of the chest with winged arrows of fierce energy.
Mbh.9.17.1005	Then the car-warriors and other combatants of thy army, clad in mail and equipped with weapons, beholding the ruler of the Madras exceedingly afflicted with arrows in that battle, surrounded him on all sides, at the command of Duryodhana.
Mbh.9.17.1006	The ruler of the Madras at this time quickly pierced Yudhishthira with seven arrows in that battle.
Mbh.9.17.1008	Those two great car-warriors, the ruler of the Madras and Yudhishthira, began to cover each other with arrows, washed in oil and shot from their bowstrings stretched to their ears.
Mbh.9.17.1010	The loud noise of their bows, bowstrings, and palms resembled that of Indra's thunder as those high-souled warriors, the brave ruler of the Madras and the heroic Pandava, showered upon each other their numberless arrows.
Mbh.9.17.1013	Then the illustrious ruler of the Madras, endued with fierce impetuosity, putting forth his vigour, pierced the heroic Yudhishthira of terrible might in the chest with shaft possessed of the splendour of fire or the sun.
Mbh.9.17.1014	Deeply pierced, O king, that bull of Kuru's race, the illustrious Yudhishthira, then struck the ruler of the Madras with a well-shot shaft and became filled with joy.
Mbh.9.17.1017	Filled with joy, the ruler of the Madras then, drawing his bow and having shot many arrows, at last cut off, with a pair of razor-faced shafts, the bow of his royal foe, that bull of Kuru's race.
Mbh.9.17.1022	The ruler of the Madras then slew with four shafts the four steeds of Yudhishthira.
Mbh.9.17.1030	His armour having been cut off by Bhimasena, the high-souled ruler of the Madras, taking up a sword and a shield decked with a stars, jumped down from his car and rushed towards the son of Kunti.
Mbh.9.17.1039	The ruler of the Madras assailed by those foremost of Pandava warriors headed by Bhimasena, proceeded regardless of them towards Yudhishthira, like a lion proceeding for seizing a deer.
Mbh.9.17.1041	Beholding the ruler of the Madras before him, he rushed towards that foe with great impetuosity.
Mbh.9.17.1046	Rolling his eyes that were wide open, he cast his glances on the ruler of the Madras, his heart filled with rage.
Mbh.9.17.1047	Thus looked at, O god among men, by that king of cleansed soul and sins all washed away, the ruler of the Madras was not reduced to ashes.
Mbh.9.17.1049	The illustrious chief of the Kurus then hurled with great force at the king of the Madras that blazing dart of beautiful and fierce handle and effulgent with gems and corals.
Mbh.9.17.1058	Having carefully inspired it with many fierce mantras, and endued it with terrible velocity by the exercise of great might and great care, king Yudhishthira hurled it along the best of tracks for the destruction of the ruler of the Madras.
Mbh.9.17.1062	Piercing through his very vitals and his fair and broad chest, that dart entered the Earth as easily as it would enter any water without the slightest resistance and bearing away with it the world-wide fame of the king of the Madras.
Mbh.9.17.1065	Stretching his arms, the ruler of the Madras fell down on the Earth, with face directed towards king Yudhishthira the just, like a tall banner erected to the honour of Indra falling down on the ground.
Mbh.9.17.1069	Though deprived of weapons and standard, and though his heart had been pierced, beauty did not yet seem to abandon the lifeless ruler of the Madras.
Mbh.9.17.1075	Upon the fall of Shalya, the youthful younger brother of the king of the Madras, who was equal to his deceased brother in every accomplishment, and who was regarded as a mighty car-warrior, proceeded against Yudhishthira.
Mbh.9.17.1082	Indeed, upon the slaughter of the younger brother of the Madras clad in beautiful armour, the Kurus, uttering cries of Oh
Mbh.9.17.1096	Upon the slaughter of the king of the Madras and upon Kritavarma having been made carless, the entire army of Duryodhana once more turned its face from the battle.

Mbh.9.19.1186	Hearing of the slaughter of the ruler of the Madras who was incapable of defeat by the very gods, that king will know the prowess of the eldest son of Pandu.
