of first class gold possessing the splendour of fire, some purified and some in a state of ore.  And Rama having the plough for his weapon and always loving bravery gave unto Arjuna, as a nuptial present, a thousand elephants with secretions flowing in three streams from the three parts of their bodies (the temple, the ears, and the anus) each large as a mountain summit, irresistible in battle, decked with coverlets and bells, well-adorned with other golden ornaments, and equipped with excellent thrones on their backs.  And that large wave of wealth and gems that the Yadavas presented, together with the cloths and blankets that represented its foam, and the elephants its alligators and sharks, and the flags its floating weeds swelling into large proportions, mingled with the Pandu ocean and filled it to the brim, to the great sorrow of all foes.  Yudhishthira accepted all those presents and worshipped all those great warriors of the Vrishni and the Andhaka races.  Those illustrious heroes of the Kuru, the Vrishni, and the Andhaka races passed their days in pleasure and merriment there like virtuous men (after death) in the celestial regions.  The Kurus and the Vrishnis with joyous hearts amused themselves there, setting up at times loud shouts mingled with clappings of the hand.  Spending many days in sports and merriment there, and worshipped by the Kurus all the while, the Vrishni heroes endued with great energy then returned to the city of Dwaravati.  And the great warriors of the Vrishni and the Andhaka races set out with Rama in the van, carrying with them those gems of the purest rays that had been given them by those foremost ones of Kuru’s race.  And, O Bharata, the high-souled Vasudeva remained there with Arjuna in the delightful city of Indraprastha.  And the illustrious one wandered over the banks of the Yamuna in search of deer.  And he sported with Arjuna piercing with his shafts deer and wild boars.  Then Subhadra, the favourite sister of Kesava, gave birth to an illustrious son, like Puloma’s daughter, (the queen of heaven) bringing forth Jayanta.  And the son that Subhadra brought forth was of long arms, broad chest, and eyes as large as those of a bull.  That hero and oppressor of foes came to be called Abhimanyu.  And the son of Arjuna, that grinder of foes and bull among men, was called Abhimanyu because he was fearless and wrathful.  And that great warrior was begotten upon the daughter of the Satwata race by Dhananjaya, like fire produced in a sacrifice from within the sami wood by the process of rubbing.  Upon the birth of this child, Yudhishthira, the powerful son of Kunti, gave away unto Brahmanas ten thousand cows and coins of gold.  The child from his earliest years became the favourite of Vasudeva and of his father and uncles, like the moon of all the people of the world.  Upon his birth, Krishna performed the usual rites of infancy.  The child began to grow up like the Moon of the bright fortnight.  That grinder of foes soon became conversant with the Vedas and acquired from his father the science of weapon both celestial and human, consisting of four branches and ten divisions.
