Pragjyotishas

Mbh.6.64.3468	And struck by all those mighty car-warriors with showers of fierce shafts of diverse kinds that elephant, O king, of the ruler of the Pragjyotishas with blood trickling down his body, became beautiful to behold on the field of battle like a mass of clouds tinged with the rays of the sun.
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.6.75.3978	And the ruler of the Pragjyotishas, united with the Madras, the Sauviras, and the Kekayas, and surrounded by a large force, was stationed, O king, in its breasts.
Mbh.6.82.4289	And Hidimva's son, that prince of the Rakshasas, rushed against that mighty bowman, the ruler of the Pragjyotishas, like one infuriate elephant against another.
Mbh.6.84.4407	The ruler of the Pragjyotishas was stationed on his prince of elephants like the wielder of the thunder-bolt in days of old in the battle occasioned by the ravishment of Taraka.
Mbh.6.84.4418	Then the ruler of the Pragjyotishas, excited with wrath, hurled in that combat fourteen lances, all of which, however, were cut off by the Rakshasa.
Mbh.6.84.4420	Then the ruler of the Pragjyotishas, laughing the while, O Bharata, despatched in that combat the four steeds of the Rakshasa to Death's domain.
Mbh.6.84.4421	The prince of the Rakshasas, however, of great valour, staying on that car whose steeds had been slain, hurled with great force a dart at the elephant of the ruler of the Pragjyotishas.
Mbh.6.96.5081	Then that best of kings, viz, the ruler of the Pragjyotishas, excited with rage, sped four and ten lances at that elephant.
Mbh.6.96.5095	Beholding it coursing towards him with great impetuosity, the ruler of the Pragjyotishas sped at it a beautiful but fierce and sharp arrow with a crescent head.
Mbh.6.96.5117	Just at this time that son of Pandu who had Krishna for his charioteer, O king, slaughtering the foe on all sides as he came, appeared at that spot where those tigers among men, those mighty car-warriors, viz, Bhimasena and Ghatotkacha, sire and son, were engaged with the ruler of the Pragjyotishas.
Mbh.6.112.6082	Then that foremost of car-warriors, viz, the grandson of Sini, abandoning the Rakshasa in battle, sped many straight shafts at the ruler of the Pragjyotishas.
Mbh.6.112.6083	The ruler of the Pragjyotishas then, with a broad-headed arrow of great sharpness, displaying great lightness of hand, cut off, the large bow of Satyaki.
Mbh.6.114.6220	And he pierced the ruler of the Pragjyotishas, O king, in that battle, with a hundred 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.6.117.6401	Then, O elder brother of Pandu, the ruler of Pragjyotishas, abandoning that son of Pandu, quickly proceeded, O king, against the car of Drupada.
Mbh.7.20.904	And in the midst of that army, the ruler of the Pragjyotishas, mounted on his duly equipped elephant, looked resplendent, O king, like the rising sun.
Mbh.7.20.907	And the ruler of the Pragjyotishas was surrounded by many heroic kings of the hilly countries, armed with diverse weapons, like Sakra himself surrounded by the celestials.
Mbh.7.24.1258	When those troops, thus broken, fled away in all directions, the ruler of the Pragjyotishas then advanced against Bhima, upon his elephant
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.7.25.1325	Go quickly, therefore, to that spot where the ruler of the Pragjyotishas is.
Mbh.7.26.1365	Indeed, the son of Pandu, overwhelming the hostile host by means of his arrows, came upon the king of the Pragjyotishas, O monarch, like Garuda swooping down upon his prey.
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.7.27.1384	What also did the king of the Pragjyotishas do to Partha?
Mbh.7.27.1386	Sanjaya said, While Partha and Krishna were thus engaged with the ruler of the Pragjyotishas, all creatures regarded them to be very near the jaws of Death.
Mbh.7.27.1396	Then the ruler of the Pragjyotishas hurled at Vasudeva a dart made wholly of iron and decked with gold.
Mbh.7.27.1402	Arjuna, then, having placed his diadem properly, addressed the ruler of the Pragjyotishas, saying, Look well on this world'
Mbh.7.27.1433	It was from Naraka, O Partha, that the ruler of the Pragjyotishas got this weapon of mine.
Mbh.14.76.3331	Once more the king of the Pragjyotishas, inflamed with ire, forcibly urged his elephant, which resembled a mountain, at Arjuna.
