Prativindhya

Mbh.1.95.5341	And Yudhishthira begat Prativindhya; Bhima, Sutasoma; Arjuna, Srutakriti; Nakula, Satanika; and Sahadeva, Srutakarman.
Mbh.1.222.10874	Prativindhya by Yudhishthira, Sutasoma by Vrikodara, Srutakarman by Arjuna, Satanika by Nakula, and Srutasena by Sahadeva, these were the five heroes and great warriors that Panchali brought forth, like Aditi bringing forth the Adityas.
Mbh.1.222.10875	And the Brahmanas, from their foreknowledge, said unto Yudhishthira that as the son of his would be capable of bearing like the Vindhya mountains the weapons of the foe, he should be called Prativindhya.
Mbh.2.69.3036	Let not unthinking children call my child Prativindhya endued with great energy of mind as the son of a slave.
Mbh.3.12.674	By my five husbands five sons of exceeding energy have been born of me: Prativindhya by Yudhishthira, Sutasoma by Vrikodara, Srutakirti by Arjuna, Satanika by Nakula and Srutakarman by the youngest, all of them of energy that cannot be baffled.
Mbh.3.233.11829	Thy brave sons, Prativindhya by Yudhishthira and Sutasoma by Bhima, and Srutakarman by Arjuna, and Satanika by Nakula, and Srutasena begot by Sahadeva, are well and have become skilled in weapons.
Mbh.6.45.2265	And Sakuni, endued with great prowess, rushed, O king, against Prativindhya of great prowess, like a lion against an infuriate elephant.
Mbh.6.45.2267	And Sakuni also, in that fierce conflict, pierced Prativindhya in return and mangled that warrior of great intelligence with straight arrows.
Mbh.6.101.5403	Then the mighty Prativindhya quickly pierced the Rakshasa with whetted shafts, sharp as battle-axes and furnished with points capable of penetrating every armour.
Mbh.7.23.1109	White steeds with black necks, endued with the speed of the mind, O monarch, and exceedingly obedient to the driver, bore prince Prativindhya.
Mbh.7.23.1196	Beholding Prativindhya staying at the van of that dreadful battle, Drona's son Aswatthaman, desirous of protecting the honour of his sire, resisted the former with his shafts.
Mbh.7.23.1197	Prativindhya, then, excited with rage pierced Aswatthaman, bearing on his standard the device of a lion's tail and staying in battle for the sake of his father, with many sharp shafts.
Mbh.7.162.8767	Duhsasana, O king, contending vigorously, resisted Prativindhya as the letter advanced with resolution on his car, drawn by steeds looking like peacocks.
Mbh.7.166.8961	Thy son Duhsasana proceeded against that mighty car-warrior, viz, Prativindhya, who was advancing against Drona, scorching his foes in battle.
Mbh.7.166.8963	Duhsasana pierced Prativindhya, who was accomplishing fierce feats in battle, with three arrows on the forehead.
Mbh.7.166.8964	Deeply pierced by that mighty bowman, thy son, Prativindhya, O monarch, looked beautiful like a crested hill.
Mbh.7.166.8965	The mighty car-warrior Prativindhya, then, piercing Duhsasana with three arrows, once more pierced him with seven, Thy son, then, O Bharata, achieved there an exceedingly difficult feat, for he felled Prativindhya's steeds with many arrows.
Mbh.7.166.8967	And then he cut off, O king, into a thousand fragments the car of Prativindhya, armed with the bow.
Mbh.7.166.8969	Deprived of his car, the virtuous Prativindhya stood, bow in hand, and contended with thy son scattering numberless arrows.
Mbh.7.166.8972	Beholding their brother, Prativindhya in that plight, his brothers, all mighty car-warriors, rushed impetuously to that spot with a large force.
Mbh.8.13.508	King Citrasena rushed against the advancing Srutakarman; and Prativindhya against Citra owning a beautiful standard and a beautiful bow.
Mbh.8.14.563	Then Prativindhya, piercing Citra with five arrows, struck his driver with three and his standard with one.
Mbh.8.14.565	Then Prativindhya, O Bharata, cutting off with his shafts the bow of his antagonist deeply struck the latter with five keen arrows.
Mbh.8.14.567	Prativindhya, however, in that battle, cut off, with the greatest ease, into three fragments, that dart as it coursed towards him like a flashing meteor.
Mbh.8.14.569	Beholding that dart baffled, Citra, taking up a huge mace decked with a net-work of gold, hurled it at Prativindhya.
Mbh.8.14.571	Meanwhile, having alighted from his car, O Bharata, Prativindhya hurled at Citra a dart, well-adorned and equipped with a golden staff.
Mbh.8.14.572	Catching it as it coursed towards him, the high-souled king Citra, O Bharata, hurled the very weapon at Prativindhya.
Mbh.8.14.573	Striking the brave Prativindhya in that battle, that blazing dart, piercing through his right arm, fell down on the Earth, and falling illumined the whole region like a blast of lightning.
Mbh.8.14.574	Then Prativindhya, O king, filled with rage, and desiring to compass the destruction of Citra, sped at him a lance decked with gold.
Mbh.8.14.577	Beholding Citra slain, thy warriors, those ornaments of battle, rushed impetuously at Prativindhya from all sides.
Mbh.8.14.578	Shooting diverse kinds of shafts and Sataghnis decked with rows of bells, they soon covered Prativindhya like masses of clouds covering the Sun.
Mbh.8.14.579	The mighty-armed Prativindhya, consuming with his arrowy showers those assailants of his in that battle, routed thy army like the thunder-wielding Sakra routing the Asura host.
Mbh.8.25.1072	Then thy son, overcome with fear, mounted upon the car of Vivingsu, while Satanika quickly got upon the car of Prativindhya.
Mbh.10.8.516	Then that tiger among men, in that dreadful battle, struck Prativindhya in the abdomen, at which the latter, O king, deprived of life, fell down on the Earth.
