Mbh.1.67.3523	And, O king, when the time came, the Kaurava monarch bestowed his daughter Duhsala on Jayadratha, the king of the Sindhus, agreeably to the counsels of Sakuni.
Mbh.5.55.3079	Bhishma, Drona Kripa and Drona's son, Karna and, Bhurisravas, Salya, the king of Pragjyotish, and Jayadratha, the king of the Sindhus, every one of these, O Bharata, is singly capable of slaying the Pandavas.
Mbh.5.57.3158	Karna, the son of Vikartana, and Jayadratha the king of the Sindhus, have been assigned to Arjuna as his share.
Mbh.5.95.4464	If with Bhishma, and Drona, and Kripa, and Karna, and Vivingsati, and Aswatthaman, Vikarna, and Somadatta, and Vahlika and the chief of the Sindhus, and the ruler of the Kalingas, and Sudakshina, the king of the Kamvojas, there were Yudhishthira, and Bhimasena and Savyasachin, and the twins, and if Satyaki of mighty energy, and Yuyutsu, that mighty car warrior, are stationed, who is there, O bull of Bharata's race, of such misdirected intelligence that would fight these?
Mbh.5.133.5915	And the princess Vidula, one day, rebuked her own son, who, after his defeat by the king of the Sindhus, lay prostrate with heart depressed by despair.
Mbh.5.134.5993	It is true, the king of the Sindhus hath many followers.
Mbh.5.156.6932	And placing an Akshauhini of troops under each of those best of men, viz, Kripa, Drona, Salya, Jayadratha, the king of the Sindhus, Sudakshina the ruler of the Kamvojas, Kritavarman, Drona's son Aswatthaman, Karna, Bhurisravas, Sakuni, the son of Suvala, and the mighty Vahlika, the king used to bring them daily before him and at all hours, and speak to them.

Mbh.6.17.870	Commanded by the royal chief of the Sindhus, that large division occupying the very van of the army and abounding with untold cars, elephants, and steeds, looked magnificent.
Mbh.6.20.961	In Bhishma's division were all the sons of Dhritarashtra, and also Sala who was a countryman of the Valhikas, and also all those Kshatriyas called Amvastas, and those called Sindhus, and those also that are called Sauviras, and the heroic dwellers of the country of the five rivers.
Mbh.6.45.2255	That chastiser of foes, king Drupada, then, in great wrath rushed against Jayadratha, the ruler of the Sindhus, cheerfully waiting for battle.
Mbh.6.45.2256	The ruler of the Sindhus pierced Drupada in that combat with three shafts, and Drupada pierced him in return.
Mbh.6.47.2393	And those seven warriors were Vrihadvala the ruler of the Kosalas, and Jayatsena of Magadha, and Rukmaratha, O king, who was the valourous son of Salya, and Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti, and Sudakshina the king of the Kamvojas, and Jayadratha, the ruler of the Sindhus and the kinsman of Vrihadkshatra.
Mbh.6.57.3025	Then Bhishma and Drona, and Jayadratha, the ruler of the Sindhus and Purumitra, and Vikarna, and Sakuni the son of Suvala-these warriors invincible in battle and possessed of leonine prowess-staying in battle broke the ranks of the Pandavas.
Mbh.6.59.3261	Srutayush, the ruler of the Amvashtas, and Durmarshana, and Chitrasena, and Drona, and Kripa, and the ruler of the Sindhus, and Valhika, and Bhurisravas, and Salya, and Sala, O king, and other warriors by hundreds united together, along with Bhishma himself, have on battle, by the prowess of his own arms, been vanquished today by the angry son of Pritha, viz, Kiritin, that one mighty car-warrior in the world'
Mbh.6.71.3812	And the king of Avanti engaged with the ruler of Kasi, and the ruler of the Sindhus engaged with Bhimasena.
Mbh.6.72.3841	And Dhananjaya encountered Drona and Kripa, and Vikarna and many other kings, brave in battle, all mighty bowmen endued with great strength, as also that mighty bowman the ruler of the Sindhus supported by his friends and kinsmen and many kings of the west and the south also, O bull of Bharata's race.
Mbh.6.80.4178	Then that foremost of car-warriors, viz, the mighty king of the Sindhus, supported by many brave warriors, placed himself on the flank of Duryodhana.
Mbh.6.86.4515	Then that distinguished bowman, desirous of approaching Bhishma beheld Duryodhana and other kings headed by the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.6.86.4544	Disregarding those arrows, the impetuous Vrikodara, with heart filled with rage, slew in that battle all the steeds, born in Aratta, of the king of the Sindhus.
Mbh.6.92.4882	While dwelling also in her sylvan retreat, thy well-wisher, that wicked wight, viz, the ruler of the Sindhus, persecuted her further, disregarding my sires.
Mbh.6.95.4996	Kripa and Bhurisravas and Salya, and Drona's son and Vivingsati, and Chitrasena and Vikarna, and the ruler of the Sindhus, and Vrihadvala, and those two mighty bowmen, viz, the two princes of Avanti, surrounded the Kuru king.
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.6.101.5381	Confounding Kripa and Drona and mighty son of Drona, as also the ruler of the Sindhus, the great bowman moved on the field of battle with great activity and skill.
Mbh.6.109.5975	Drona, and Drona's son, and Kripa, and Suyodhana, and Chitrasena, and Vikarna, and Jayadratha the ruler of the Sindhus, Vinda and Anuvinda.
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.6.114.6193	And the ruler of the Sindhus struck him with three, and Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti each struck him with five arrows.
Mbh.6.114.6201	And once more striking the ruler of the Sindhus with three arrows, he uttered a loud shout, filled with joy.
Mbh.6.114.6204	Possessed of the splendour of Yama himself, as he appears at the end of the Yuga, Bhimasena then, with three arrows, despatched unto Death's domain the steeds of the ruler of the Sindhus as also his charioteer.
Mbh.6.114.6206	Then, O sire, with a couple of broad-headed arrows, he cut off, O chief of the Bharatas, the bow of the high-souled king of the Sindhus in the middle.
Mbh.6.114.6208	Indeed, the son of Pandu achieved in that battle a most wonderful feat, for piercing all those mighty car-warriors and holding them in check, he deprived, O sire, the ruler of the Sindhus of his car in the very sight of all the army.
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.6.115.6247	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.6.117.6383	The king of Sindhus, having pierced Virata with nine straight arrows of keen points, once more struck him with thirty.
Mbh.6.117.6385	The ruler of the Matsyas and the ruler of the Sindhus, both armed with beautiful bows and beautiful scimitars, both decked with handsome coats of mail and weapons and standards, and both of beautiful forms looked resplendent in that 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.7.7.216	And the ruler of the Sindhus, and the chief of the Kalingas, and thy son Vikarna, clad in mail, took up their position on the right wing of Drona.
Mbh.7.14.636	Then Subhadra's son Abhimanyu, beholding the ruler of the Sindhus, let Paurava alone, and leaping up like a hawk from the latter's car, quickly alighted on the earth.
Mbh.7.14.644	Then, O Bharata, Jayadratha's large sword sticking into Abhimanyu's shield covered with golden plate, broke, as the ruler of the Sindhus attempted to draw it off forcibly.
Mbh.7.14.649	Having vanquished the ruler of the Sindhus, Subhadra's son, that slayer of hostile heroes, then began to scorch that division of the Kaurava army like Sun scorching the world.
Mbh.7.32.1712	And there stood the ruler of the Sindhus, of great beauty of person, and immovable like the cliff of Meru.
Mbh.7.32.1713	Standing by the side of the ruler of the Sindhus and headed by Aswatthaman, were, O king, thy thirty sons, resembling the very gods.
Mbh.7.39.1962	Amongst thy warriors thus slaughtered by Abhimanyu with sharp shafts, none, O monarch, stayed any longer on the field of battle except the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.40.1984	Indeed, king Jayadratha, the son of the ruler of the Sindhus, checked, with all their followers, the Parthas, desirous of rescuing their son.
Mbh.7.40.1986	Dhritarashtra said, I think, Sanjaya, that heavy was the burthen thrown upon the ruler of the Sindhus, inasmuch as alone he had to resist the angry Pandavas desirous of rescuing their son.
Mbh.7.40.1987	Exceedingly wonderful, I think, was the might and heroism of the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.40.1995	Indeed, Hara, appearing in a dream unto the ruler of the Sindhus, addressed him, saying Solicit the boon thou desirest.
Mbh.7.40.1998	Thus addressed by Mahadeva, Jayadratha, the ruler of the Sindhus, bowed down unto him and said with joined palms and restrained soul, Alone, on a single car, I shall check in battle all the sons of Pandu, endued though they are with terrible energy and prowess'
Mbh.7.40.2005	And the Kshatriyas of the Kuru army, beholding that the burthen was taken up by the ruler of the Sindhus, rushed with loud shouts, O monarch, to that part of the field where Yudhishthira's army was
Mbh.7.41.2006	SECTION XLI Sanjaya said, Thou askest me, O monarch, about the prowess of the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.41.2018	And piercing Yudhishthira then with seventy arrows, the ruler of the Sindhus pierced the other heroes of the Pandava army with thick showers of shafts.
Mbh.7.41.2021	Within the twinkling, however, of the eye, the ruler of the Sindhus took up another bow and piercing Pratha Yudhishthira with ten arrows struck each of the others with three shafts.
Mbh.7.41.2029	And they repeatedly applauded that feat of the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.41.2031	The path that the son of Subhadra had made for the Pandavas by the slaughter of numerous warriors and elephants was then filled up by the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.41.2033	Everyone amongst thy enemies who endeavoured to pierce the array that had been formed by Drona, was checked by the ruler of the Sindhus in consequence of the boon he had got from Mahadeva
Mbh.7.42.2034	SECTION XLII Sanjaya said, When the ruler of the Sindhus checked the Pandavas, desirous of success, the battle that took place then between thy troops and the enemy became awful.
Mbh.7.50.2308	He penetrated within the hostile army, but we could not follow him, obstructed by the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.71.3102	Then, O sire, the wretched king of the Sindhus, viz, Jayadratha, in consequence of the boon granted to him by Rudra, checked all of us!
Mbh.7.72.3160	Being what thou art how canst thou then see any cause of fear, O king of the Sindhus!
Mbh.7.72.3162	Therefore, do not fear, O king of the Sindhus!
Mbh.7.72.3164	Sanjaya continued, Thus comforted, O monarch, by thy son, the king of the Sindhus then, accompanied by Duryodhana, repaired that very night to Drona the generalissimo of the Kuru army.
Mbh.7.72.3181	Even thus was the ruler of the Sindhus consoled by Bharadwaja's son.
Mbh.7.73.3184	SECTION LXXV Sanjaya said, After Partha had vowed the death of the ruler of the Sindhus, the mighty-armed Vasudeva addressed Dhananjaya and said, With the consent of thy brothers alone, but without consulting me, thou hast sworn, saying, I will slay the ruler of the Sindhus!
Mbh.7.73.3189	Those spies, quickly coming unto me, gave me this information, viz, that after thou, O lord, hadst vowed to slay the ruler of the Sindhus, loud leonine shouts, mingled with the sounds of our musical instruments, were heard by the Dhritarashtras.
Mbh.7.73.3197	O thou of eyes like lotus-petals, they then learnt truly the vow about the slaughter of the ruler of the Sindhus, made by thee that art wedded to truth
Mbh.7.73.3199	As regards king Jayadratha, that ruler of the Sindhus and the Sauviras, overwhelmed with grief and becoming thoroughly cheerless he stood up and entered his own tent with all his counsellors.
Mbh.7.73.3209	Beholding the Kuru king to be greatly afflicted, king Jayadratha, the ruler of the Sindhus, slowly said these words having a beneficial reference to himself, I do not behold here that bowman of superior energy who can baffle with his arms the weapons of Arjuna in great battle!
Mbh.7.73.3223	Jayadratha, that ruler of the Sindhus, difficult of being conquered in battle, will take his stand, by it, protected by heroes!
Mbh.7.74.3230	In the very sight of Drona and all his men, I will fell the head of the ruler of the Sindhus, on the earth, beholding which they will indulge in lamentations.
Mbh.7.74.3231	If the Siddhas, the Rudras, the Vasus, with the Aswins, the Maruts with Indra: at their head the Viswadevas with other gods, the Pitris, the Gandharvas, Garuda, the Ocean, the mountains, the firmament, Heaven, Earth, the point of the compass cardinal and subsidiary, and the regents of those points, all the creatures that are domestic and all that are wild, in fact if all the mobile and the immobile beings together, become the protectors of the ruler of the Sindhus, yet, O slayer of Madhu, shalt thou behold Jayadratha slain by me tomorrow in battle with my arrows!
Mbh.7.74.3238	Thou shalt behold in tomorrow's battle the weapons of all those who come to protect the ruler of the Sindhus, baffled by me with my Brahma weapon!
Mbh.7.74.3240	Tomorrow I shall gratify all cannibals, rout the foe, gladden my friends, and crush the ruler of the Sindhus!
Mbh.7.74.3242	Thou shalt behold that ruler of the Sindhus, of sinful behaviour, and brought up in every luxury, pierced by me with my shafts!
Mbh.7.75.3283	The wretched ruler of the Sindhus, O beautiful lady, that murderer of a child, that perpetrator of a sinful act, shall, with his friends and kinsmen, obtain the fruit of this arrogance of his on the expiry of this night.
Mbh.7.75.3285	Tomorrow thou shalt hear that the head of the Sindhus hath, in battle, been cut off from his trunk to roll on the outskirts of Samantapanchaka!
Mbh.7.75.3296	Even if all human beings and snakes and Pisachas and all the wanderers of the night and birds, and all the gods and the Asuras, help the ruler of the Sindhus on the field of battle; he shall still, with them, cease to exist tomorrow
Mbh.7.77.3353	And everybody in the Pandava camp thought of this, viz, The high-souled wielder of Gandiva, burning with grief for the death of his son, hath suddenly vowed the slaughter of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.77.3362	Oh, let Dhananjaya come back to the camp, having slain the ruler of the Sindhus in battle.
Mbh.7.77.3364	If he fails to slay the ruler of the Sindhus tomorrow, he will certainly enter into blazing fire.
Mbh.7.78.3420	Surrounded in battle as he will be by all of them and by all the great car-warriors, how shall he obtain a sight, O Krishna, of the wicked rule of the Sindhus?
Mbh.7.78.3426	And then that hero, of eyes like lotus leaves, and possessed of great energy, said these words for the benefit of Pandu's son who had resolved upon the slaughter of the ruler of the Sindhus, O Partha, there is an indestructible, supreme weapon of the name of Pasupata.
Mbh.7.81.3602	Having slain the ruler of the Sindhus, Jishnu will come to thee in the evening.
Mbh.7.82.3624	Mounted on that best of cars with those two friends, that slayer of large bodies of foes, viz, Partha, proceeded for achieving the slaughter of the ruler of the Sindhus, like Soma rising in the firmament with Budha and Sukra, for destroying the gloom of night, or like Indra proceeding with Varuna and Surya to the great battle with the Asuras occasioned by the abduction of Taraka the wife of Vrihaspati.
Mbh.7.82.3631	I shall, therefore, go thither where the ruler of the Sindhus waiteth for the display of my energy and in expectation of repairing to the regions of Yama.
Mbh.7.82.3632	Indeed, as the slaughter of the ruler of the Sindhus is one of my most imperative duties, even so is the protection of king Yudhishthira the just another of my most imperative obligations.
Mbh.7.82.3638	Reposing this burden on thee, or on that mighty car-warrior Pradyumna, I can, O bull among men, without anxiety slay the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.83.3677	The ruler of the Sindhus did not, nor Bhishma; nor Salya; nor Bhurisravas; nor Purumitra; nor Jaya; nor Aswatthaman; nor Kripa; nor Drona, O Sanjaya!
Mbh.7.85.3762	Take comfort, O ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.85.3763	Thus addressed by Drona, Jayadratha, the ruler of the Sindhus, became comforted.
Mbh.7.88.3875	SECTION XC Sanjaya said, Slaying the force of Duhsasana, the mighty car-warrior, Savyasachin, desirous of getting at the ruler of the Sindhus, proceeded against the division of Drona, Having approached Drona who was stationed at the entrance of the array, Partha, at Krishna's request joined his hands and said these words unto Drona: Wish me well, O Brahmana, and bless me, saying Swasti!
Mbh.7.91.4103	SECTION XCIII Sanjaya said, After the son of Kunti, impelled by the desire of slaying the ruler of the Sindhus, had penetrated into the Bharata host having pierced through the irresistible divisions of both Drona and the Bhojas, after the heir of the ruler of the Kamvojas, viz, prince Sudakshina, had been slain, after Savyasachin had killed the valiant Srutayudha also, after the Kuru ranks had fled away and confusion had set in on all sides, thy son, beholding his army broken, repaired to Drona.
Mbh.7.91.4121	If thou hadst not granted me the boon about humiliating and checking the Pandavas, I would never have prevented the ruler of the Sindhus from returning to his own country.
Mbh.7.91.4122	Fool that I am, expecting protection from thee, I assured the ruler of the Sindhus, and through my folly offered him as a victim to death.
Mbh.7.91.4124	O thou that ownest red steeds, do that by which the ruler of the Sindhus may yet be saved.
Mbh.7.91.4125	Do not give way to wrath on hearing the delirious ravings of my afflicted self, O, protect ye the ruler of the Sindhus'
Mbh.7.92.4265	As regards the ruler of the Sindhus, he remained in the rear of the whole army protected by many foremost of bowmen and car-warriors numbering Kripa amongst them.
Mbh.7.92.4266	And the ruler of the Sindhus had for the protectors of his wheels two of the foremost warriors, viz, the son of Drona on his right, O king, and the Suta's son Karna on the left.
Mbh.7.92.4268	And the Kuru warriors, having made these arrangements for the protection of the ruler of the Sindhus, fought with the Pandavas
Mbh.7.96.4402	And while the troops, inspired with hope of victory, were thus engaged, Arjuna and Vasudeva proceeded towards the place where the ruler of the Sindhus was.
Mbh.7.96.4436	Understanding that he was tired and that the ruler of the Sindhus was yet at a distance, they surrounded him, uttering leonine roars.
Mbh.7.96.4438	The ruler of the Sindhus is still at a distance.
Mbh.7.97.4498	Others, O Bharata, said, The ruler of the Sindhus hath already been despatched to Yama's abode.
Mbh.7.97.4500	Meanwhile, the son of Pandu, seeing the sun coursing towards the Western hills, proceeded with greater speed towards the ruler of the Sindhus, on his steeds, whose thirst had been slaked.
Mbh.7.98.4526	The ruler of the Sindhus, however, shall not escape me if once he is seen by me.
Mbh.7.98.4529	Even so, O mighty-armed one, did they converse amongst themselves, while looking after the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.98.4544	Freed from the division of Drona, their joy, at sight of the ruler of the Sindhus, was like that of a couple of hawks at the sight of a piece of flesh.
Mbh.7.98.4545	Beholding the ruler of the Sindhus not far off, they rushed in wrath towards him like a couple of hawks swooping down towards a piece of meat.
Mbh.7.98.4546	Seeing Hrishikesa and Dhananjaya transgress the divisions of Drona, thy valiant son, king Duryodhana, whose armour had been bound on his person by Drona, and who was well-versed in grooming and guiding horses, rushed, on a single car, O lord, for the protection of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.100.4674	Indeed, those mighty bowmen, the protectors of the ruler of Sindhus, suddenly beholding Partha, uttered loud shouts, filling the earth with that noise.
Mbh.7.101.4692	Their cars drawn by foremost steeds of great fleetness were of diverse countries and of diverse species, some bred in mountainous regions, some in rivers, and some in the country of the Sindhus, many foremost of car-warriors among the Kurus desirous, O king, of rescuing thy son quickly rushed towards Dhananjaya's car from every side.
Mbh.7.101.4716	And piercing the son of Somadatta with three arrows and Salya with ten, he pierced Kripa with five and twenty arrows, and the ruler of the Sindhus with a hundred, Partha struck Drona's son with seventy arrows.
Mbh.7.102.4741	A silver boar adorned the standard-top of the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.102.4743	With that silver mark on his barrier, the ruler of the Sindhus looked as resplendent, as Surya in days of yore in the battle between the celestials and the Asuras.
Mbh.7.102.4762	And that mighty-armed hero looked resplendent as he stretched his bow Gandiva, desirous of vanquishing all those tigers among men for slaying the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.103.4766	SECTION CV Dhritarashtra said, After Arjuna had got the ruler of the Sindhus within sight, what, O Sanjaya, did the Panchalas, attacked by Bharadwaja's son, do, encountering the Kurus'
Mbh.7.107.5002	Indeed, while the heroic protectors of the ruler of the Sindhus were fighting, and while the Dhartarashtras were roaring in front of Arjuna's car, the twang of Gandiva could not be heard.
Mbh.7.107.5049	These warriors are prepared to lay down their lives for the sake of the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.108.5115	Charging thee with the protection of that best of men, viz, king Yudhishthira the just, I will proceed today for the destruction of the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.109.5199	Slaying with my shafts, O king, these Kiratas difficult of defeat in battle, I shall follow in the track of Arjuna who is intent on the slaughter of the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.109.5204	Obtaining these, and countless Kshatriyas, as also Kripa and that foremost of car-warriors, viz, Drona and the ruler of the Sindhus, and the Karna, he thinks lightly of the Pandavas.
Mbh.7.109.5249	After the sinful ruler of the Sindhus has been slain by the high-souled son of Pandu, I shall embrace king Yudhishthira of virtuous soul'
Mbh.7.111.5366	Beholding those two exceedingly active heroes pierce through the divisions placed in the van, and seeing the ruler of the Sindhus also within reach of the shafts from Gandiva, what, indeed, was the measure adopted by the Kaurava impelled by fate?
Mbh.7.111.5401	Tell me, therefore, everything about what Arjuna did for compassing the slaughter of the ruler of the Sindhus'
Mbh.7.116.5646	From the character of the omens that appear to my view, I am sure that Arjuna will slay the ruler of the Sindhus before the sun sets.
Mbh.7.119.5804	Is the ruler of the Sindhus yet alive?
Mbh.7.123.6110	That hero of great might, relying on whose prowess the Pandavas are alive, he to whom we always turn in times of fear like the celestials towards their chief of a thousand eyes, that hero hath, in search after the ruler of Sindhus, penetrated into the Bharata host.
Mbh.7.124.6135	I shall go thither where the ruler of the Sindhus stayeth, at the point of death.
Mbh.7.125.6250	The valiant Bhima, that tiger among men, beholding Arjuna putting forth his prowess for the slaughter of the ruler of the Sindhus, uttered a loud shout, like, O monarch, the clouds roaring in the season of rains.
Mbh.7.125.6269	Burning with grief on account of the death of his son, endeavouring to achieve a most difficult feat, and even now seeking to slaughter Jayadratha, alas, he that hath made that vow, viz, Dhananjaya, will he succeed in slaying the ruler of the Sindhus in battle?
Mbh.7.125.6271	Shall the ruler of the Sindhus who is devoted to Duryodhana's welfare, slain by Phalguna, gladden his foes?
Mbh.7.125.6272	Shall king Duryodhana, beholding the ruler of the Sindhus slain in battle make peace with us?
Mbh.7.127.6322	SECTION CXXIX -Sanjaya said, After that army had thus been routed, and Arjuna and Bhimasena had all gone after the ruler of the Sindhus, thy son Duryodhana proceeded towards Drona.
Mbh.7.127.6325	With eyes red in wrath, thy son addressed the preceptor and said, O grinder of foes, Arjuna and Bhimasena, and unvanquished Satyaki, and many mighty car-warriors, defeating all our troops, have succeeded in approaching the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.127.6335	Say quickly what should next be done for the ruler of the Sindhus on the present occasion, and let what thou sayest be quickly and properly carried out'
Mbh.7.127.6341	In this pass, I think, the protection of the ruler of the Sindhus is our first duty.
Mbh.7.127.6343	The heroic Yuyudhana and Vrikodara have both gone against the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.127.6349	At present, however, O king, know the combatants for players, these shafts for dice, and the ruler of the Sindhus, without doubt, O monarch, as the stake, in this game of battle.
Mbh.7.127.6351	Under the circumstances, therefore, O monarch, all of us becoming reckless of our very lives, should make due arrangements for the protection of the ruler of the Sindhus in battle.
Mbh.7.127.6352	Engaged as we are in our present sport, it is here that we shall have victory or defeat, here, that is, where those great bowmen are protecting the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.135.6722	Indeed, that host of the Sindhus, the Sauviras, and the Kauravas, afflicted with the impetuous shafts of both Karna and Bhima, was removed to a great distance.
Mbh.7.137.6875	Since I have heard of Dhananjaya's entry, grief is consuming my heart, like fire consuming a heap of dry grass, I see that all the kings of the earth with the ruler of the Sindhus amongst them, are affected by evil destiny.
Mbh.7.137.6876	Having done a great wrong to the diadem-decked Arjuna, how can the ruler of the Sindhus, if he falls within Arjuna's sight, save his life?
Mbh.7.137.6877	From circumstantial inference, I see, O Sanjaya, how can the ruler of the Sindhus, if he falls within Arjuna's sight, save his life?
Mbh.7.137.6878	From circumstantial inference, I see, O Sanjaya, that the ruler of the Sindhus is already dead.
Mbh.7.138.6931	The ruler of the Sindhus hath not yet been slain.
Mbh.7.139.7024	Mentally applauding the Kuru warrior thus, O king, the mighty-armed Arjuna, the son of Pritha, replied unto Vasudeva, saying, My eyes having rested upon of the Sindhus, I could not, O Madhava, see Satyaki.
Mbh.7.140.7092	But deprived of reason, and forbidden by Krishna and the high-souled Partha, Bhima, and the two protectors of the two wheels of Arjuna's car, viz, Yudhamanyu and Uttamaujas, and Aswatthaman, and Kripa and Karna, and Vrishasena, and the ruler of the Sindhus also, and while the soldiers were yet uttering shouts of disapproval, Satyaki stew Bhurisravas while in the observance of his vow.
Mbh.7.142.7173	The ruler of the Sindhus is, again, protected by many mighty car-warriors among the Kuru army.
Mbh.7.142.7176	Then, O king, many leaders of the Kuru army, such as Duryodhana and Karna and Vrishasena and the ruler of the Sindhus himself, rushed with speed, O king, against Arjuna whose shafts were never baffled and who was proceeding, on his car drawn by steeds of great fleetness.
Mbh.7.142.7177	Vibhatsu, however, getting at the ruler of the Sindhus who was staying before him, and casting his glances upon him, seemed to scorch him with his eyes blazing with wrath.
Mbh.7.142.7184	If the ruler of the Sindhus can be protected till the setting of the sun, then Partha, his vow being falsified, will enter into blazing fire.
Mbh.7.142.7189	How, O son of Radha, when thou art alive will Phalguna succeed in slaying the ruler of the Sindhus before the sun goes to the Asta hills?
Mbh.7.142.7191	How will Vibhatsu, who seems to have been urged on by Fate, get at the ruler of the Sindhus when the latter if protected by Drona's son, by myself, and Duhsasana?
Mbh.7.142.7200	I shall strive my best so that this foremost one of the sons of Pandu may not succeed in slaying the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.142.7201	As long as I shall fight, shooting my whetted shafts, the heroic Dhananjaya, capable of drawing the bow with even his left hand, will not succeed in getting at the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.142.7204	I shall in battle today exert myself to my utmost for the sake of the ruler of the Sindhus, and for achieving thy good.
Mbh.7.142.7215	And the mighty and invincible Partha, of prowess incapable of being baffled, causing an immense slaughter in that army of thine, soon reached the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.142.7218	Then Duryodhana and Karna and Vrishasena and the ruler of the Madras, and Aswatthaman and Kripa and the ruler of the Sindhus himself, excited with wrath and fighting for the sake of the Sindhu king, encompassed the diadem-decked Arjuna on all sides.
Mbh.7.142.7219	All those warriors, skilled in battle, placing the ruler of the Sindhus at their back, and desirous of slaying Arjuna and Krishna, surrounded Partha, that hero conversant with battle, who was then dancing along the track of his car, producing fierce sounds with the bowstring and his palms and resembling the Destroyer himself with wide-opened mouth.
Mbh.7.142.7224	Indeed, the son of Saradwata's daughter piercing Partha with ten shafts and Vasudeva with seven, stayed in the track of Arjuna's car, protecting the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.142.7226	Stretching their bows and shooting countless shafts, they began to protect the ruler of the Sindhus, at the command of thy son.
Mbh.7.142.7234	Having caused an immense slaughter in thy army, the mighty and invincible Dhananjaya, of prowess incapable of being baffled came upon the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.142.7269	And the ruler of the Sindhus pierced each with four arrows, and Vrishasena also pierced each of them, O king, with seven arrows.
Mbh.7.143.7341	And piercing the ruler of the Sindhus then with four and sixty arrows, he uttered a leonine shout.
Mbh.7.143.7342	The ruler of the Sindhus, however, thus pierced by the wielder of Gandiva with his arrows, became filled with rage and unable to brook it, like an elephant when pierced with the hook.
Mbh.7.143.7346	Then Arjuna, baffling the keen arrows sped by the ruler of the Sindhus, cut off at the same time, with a pair of shafts, the head of Jayadratha's driver and the well-decked standard also of Jayadratha.
Mbh.7.143.7349	Janardana then quickly addressed the son of Pandu and said, Behold, O Partha, the ruler of the Sindhus hath, by six mighty and heroic car-warriors, been placed in their-midst!
Mbh.7.143.7351	Without vanquishing those six car-warriors in battle, O bull among men, thou wilt never be able to slay the ruler of the Sindhus even if thou exertest thyself without intermission.
Mbh.7.143.7353	Then the ruler of the Sindhus will in consequence behold the sun to have set.
Mbh.7.143.7363	And while the ruler of the Sindhus was thus beholding the sun, Krishna, once more addressing Dhananjaya said these words, Behold, the heroic ruler of the Sindhus is now looking at the sun, casting off his fear of thee, O foremost one among the Bharatas!
Mbh.7.143.7369	And he pierced Vrishasena with eight arrows and the ruler of the Sindhus himself with sixty.
Mbh.7.143.7375	Then those warriors of thine, O king, thus slaughtered in battle by that hero, abandoned the ruler of the Sindhus in fear and fled away.
Mbh.7.143.7390	And others concealed themselves behind and under the bodies of slain elephants Routing thy host thus, O king, Dhananjaya began to strike with terrible shafts the protectors of the ruler of the Sindhus with his arrowy showers, Karna and Drona's son and Kripa and Salya and Vrishasena and Duryodhana.
Mbh.7.143.7401	Then Janardana, once more addressing Arjuna, quickly said, O Dhananjaya, quickly cut off the head of the wicked-souled ruler of the Sindhus!
Mbh.7.143.7410	That chastiser of foes, viz, the old ruler of the Sindhus, hearing these words, reflected for sometime.
Mbh.7.143.7429	After, O king, the ruler of the Sindhus had been slain by the diadem-decked Arjuna, that darkness, O bull of Bharata's race, was withdrawn by Vasudeva.
Mbh.7.143.7431	Even thus, O king, was thy son-in-law, the ruler of the Sindhus, having caused eight Akshauhinis to be slaughtered, himself slain by Partha of inconceivable energy.
Mbh.7.143.7432	Beholding Jayadratha, the ruler of the Sindhus slain, tears of sorrow fell from the eyes of thy sons.
Mbh.7.143.7434	Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma, bearing that tremendous shout understood that the ruler of the Sindhus had been slain by the high-souled Phalguna.
Mbh.7.143.7438	Indeed, the Pandavas, having got the victory by slaying the ruler of the Sindhus fought with Drona, intoxicated with success.
Mbh.7.144.7441	SECTION CXLVI Dhritarashtra said, Tell me, O Sanjaya, what did my warriors do after the heroic ruler of the Sindhus had been slain, by Arjuna'
Mbh.7.144.7442	Sanjaya said, Beholding the ruler of the Sindhus, O sire, slain in battle by Partha, Kripa, the son of Saradwat, under the influence of wrath, covered the son of Pandu with a dense shower of arrows.
Mbh.7.144.7489	Dhritarashtra said, Tell me, O Sanjaya, how the battle took place between the heroic Karna and Satyaki of the Vrishni race, after the fall of Bhurisravas and of the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.146.7635	SECTION CXLVIII Sanjaya said, After the ruler of the Sindhus had been slain by Partha, Krishna, repairing unto the king, viz, Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma, worshipped the latter with a gladdened heart.
Mbh.7.146.7641	By good luck, that sinful wretch, viz, the ruler of the Sindhus, hath been slain.
Mbh.7.147.7697	SECTION CXLIX Sanjaya said, Upon the fall, O king, of the ruler of the Sindhus, thy son Suyodhana, his face bedewed with tears, and himself filled with grief and breathing hot sighs like a snake whose fangs have been broken, that offender against the whole world, viz, thy son, experienced bitter affliction.
Mbh.7.147.7700	Neither Drona, nor the son of Radha, nor Aswatthaman, nor Kripa, O sire, is competent to stand before Arjuna when the latter is excited with wrath, And Suyodhana, said unto himself, Having vanquished in battle all the mighty car-warriors of my army, Partha slew the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.148.7739	SECTION CI Dhritarashtra said, After the ruler of the Sindhus had been slain in battle by Savyasachin and after the fall of Bhurisravas, what became the state of your mind?
Mbh.7.148.7742	Sanjaya said, Loud wails arose among thy coops, O Bharata, after the slaughter of Bhurisravas and the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.148.7764	With resolute care, all of you had surrounded Arjuna, resolved to stand by the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.148.7766	Why, when thou art alive, and Karna, and Kripa, and Salya, and Aswatthaman, O Kauravya, hath the ruler of the Sindhus been slain?
Mbh.7.148.7767	For rescuing the ruler of the Sindhus, the kings on thy side had put forth all their fierce energy.
Mbh.7.148.7773	Having failed, O Bharata, in rescuing the ruler of the Sindhus, why dost thou pierce me thus with thy wordy shafts, seeing that I too am burning with grief?
Mbh.7.148.7776	When the ruler of the Sindhus and Bhurisravas also have been slain in the very midst of so many mighty car-warriors, what do you think, will the end be?
Mbh.7.149.7796	And thy son, Duryodhana, then said unto Karna, Behold, the diadem-decked son of Pandu, with Krishna alone for helpmate, penetrated into the array formed by the preceptor, an array that the gods themselves could not pierce, and in the very sight of the illustrious Drona struggling in battle and of many other foremost of warriors, slew the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.149.7800	How, indeed, could Phalguna, in spite of the resistance offered by Drona in battle, accomplish his vow by slaying the ruler of the Sindhus?
Mbh.7.149.7805	Having in the first instance promised protection unto the ruler of the Sindhus, Drona, that scorcher of foes, gave unto the diadem-decked Arjuna admittance into the array!
Mbh.7.149.7806	If he had in the beginning granted permission to the ruler of the Sindhus for his return home, without doubt, such an awful carnage would then have never occurred.
Mbh.7.149.7823	And since, O Suyodhana, in spite of ourselves fighting to the utmost extent of our powers, the ruler of the Sindhus has been slain in battle, it seems that Fate is all-powerful.
Mbh.7.150.7857	Filled with great wrath at the slaughter of the ruler of Sindhus, and resolved to lay down his life, he penetrated into the hostile army.
Mbh.7.151.7893	Sanjaya said, Having slain the ruler of the Sindhus in the evening, Partha, after his meeting with Yudhishthira and the great bowman, viz, Satyaki, both proceeded towards Drona.
Mbh.7.170.9164	SECTION CLXXII Sanjaya said, Beholding his own army routed while being slaughtered by those illustrious heroes, thy son, well-acquainted with words, O monarch, quickly repairing unto Karna and Drona, that foremost of all victors in battle, wrathfully said these words, This battle has been set on foot by you two in rage, having seen the ruler of the Sindhus slain by Savyasachin.
Mbh.7.180.9827	Vasudeva said, Duhsasana and Karna and Sakuni and the ruler of the Sindhus, with Duryodhana at their head, had frequently debated on this subject.
Mbh.7.181.9858	How, indeed, did these excited with wrath at the death of the ruler of the Sindhus, and those at the death of Ghatotkacha, each side unable to brook their loss, fight that nocturnal battle'
Mbh.7.181.9890	We also were all held in check by the illustrious ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.7.181.9896	For a little offence, O Krishna, was the ruler of the Sindhus slain by the wielder of Gandiva.
Mbh.7.199.11535	After thou hadst vowed to slay the ruler of the Sindhus, O sinless one, Krishna showed thee this God, in thy dream, sitting on the top of that foremost of mountains.
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.8.73.4397	All the kings regarded the slaughter of the ruler of the Sindhus to have been exceedingly wonderful.
Mbh.9.52.3777	Narada said, Already Bhishma and Drona and the lord of the Sindhus have fallen!
Mbh.9.62.4528	I am now like a moneyless wayfarer and shall follow in the wake of Drona who has already gone to heaven, of Karna and Shalya, of Vrishasena of great energy, of Shakuni the son of Subala, of Jalasandha of great valour, of king Bhagadatta, of Somadatta's son, that mighty bowman, of Jayadratha, the king of the Sindhus, of all my brothers headed by Duhshasana and equal unto myself, of Duhshasana's son of great prowess, and of Lakshmana, my son, and thousands of others that fought for me.
Mbh.10.3.199	I shall today make the Pancalas follow in the wake, hard to tread, of Duryodhana and Karna and Bhishma, and the ruler of the Sindhus.
Mbh.10.9.720	Embrace king Bahlika, that mighty car-warrior, as also the ruler of the Sindhus, and Somadatta, Bhurishrava, and the other foremost of kings that have preceded thee to heaven.
Mbh.11.22.900	The Kamboja and Yavana wives of that mighty-armed lord of the Sindhus and the Sauviras are waiting upon him for protecting him from the wild beasts.
Mbh.12.100.5600	The Gandharvas, the Sindhus, and the Sauviras fight best with their nails and lances.
Mbh.14.52.2295	By the power of thy intelligence was shown the means by which was duly affected the destruction of Duryodhana in battle, as also of Karna, as of the sinful icing of the Sindhus; and Bhurisravas.
Mbh.14.77.3352	From every side they began to strike that hero, that slayer of the Nivatakavachas, that destroyer of the Samasaptakas, that killer of the king of the Sindhus.
Mbh.15.11.535	He wishes to perform the Sraddha of the high-souled son of Ganga, as also of Drona and Somadatta and Valhika of great intelligence, and of all his sons as also of all well-wishers of his that have been slain, and, if thou permittest it, of that wicked-souled wight, viz, the ruler of the Sindhus
