[...] Kunti Draupadi and she of the Sattwata race possessed of great fame and Ulupi the daughter of the Naga king and queen Chitrangada and the sister of Dliristitaketti and the daughter of Jarsandha —these and many other ladies 0 king used to wait upon the daughter of Suvala like maids of all work. [...] King Vudhislithira at that time became as agreeable to the Brabmanas as to the Kshatriyas and the various bands of Vaishyas and Shudras of his kingdom. [...] Recollecting the evil advice of the old king and some deeds of his Bhima one day in the midst of his friends slapped his armpits in the hearing of Dhritaraslitra and of Gandhari. [...] The angry Vrikodara recollecting his enemies Duyrodhana and Karna and Dusshasana gave way to a fit of passion and said these harsh words :— ' The sons of the blind king capable of fighing with various kinds of weapons ha ve all been despatched by me to the other world with these arms of mine which resemble a pair of iron clubs.
