Āśvamedhika Parva, Adhyāya 77 — Saindhava resistance, Arjuna’s restraint, and Duḥśalā’s supplication
ततो रथसहस्रेण हयानामयुतेन च । कोष्ठकीकृत्य बीभत्सुं प्रहषष्टमनमसो 5 भवन्,एक हजार रथ और दस हजार घोड़ोंसे अर्जुनको घेरकर उन्हें कोष्ठबद्ध-सा करके वे मन-ही-मन बड़े प्रसन्न हो रहे थे
tato rathasahasreṇa hayānām ayutena ca | koṣṭhakīkṛtya bībhatsuṁ prahṛṣṭamanaso bhavan |
Then, surrounding Arjuna (Bībhatsu) with a thousand chariots and ten thousand horses, they enclosed him as though penned in a stockade; and, with minds inwardly delighted, they rejoiced at having him thus hemmed in.
