Bhagadatta’s Advance, the Saṃśaptaka Challenge, and Arjuna’s Counterstrike (द्रोणपर्व, अध्याय २६)

Devanagari script

सुपर्वा पर्वतपतिर्निन्ये वैवस्वतक्षयम्‌ । यह देख जिनके अंगोंकी जोड़ सुन्दर है उन पर्वतराज भगदत्तने झुकी हुई गाँठवाले बाणके द्वारा रुचिपर्वाको यमलोक पहुँचा दिया

Transliteration

sañjaya uvāca | suparvā parvatapatir ninye vaivasvatakṣayam |

Translation

Sañjaya said: Suparvā, lord of the mountains, sent (his foe) to Vaivasvata’s abode—Yama’s realm. Thus Bhagadatta, like a mountain-king in his well-knit frame, with a hooked-headed arrow dispatched Ruciparvā to the world of Yama.
