Vrihanta, the king of Uluka, making this earth tremble
with the sound of his drums, the clatter of his chariot-wheels,
and the roar of the elephants in his train. Vrihanta,
however, quickly coming out of his city followed by
his army consisting of four kinds of troops, gave battle
to Falguna (Arjuna). And the fight that took
place between Vrihanta and Dhananjaya was terrible.
It so happened that Vrihanta was unable to bear the
prowess of the son of Pandu. Then that invincible
king of the mountainous region regarding the son of
Kunti irresistible, approached him with all his wealth.
Arjuna snatched out the kingdom from Vrihanta, but
having made peace with him marched, accompanied by
that king, against Senavindu whom he soon expelled
from his kingdom. After this he subjugated Modapura,
Vamadeva, Sudaman, Susankula, the Northern Ulukas,
and the kings of those countries and peoples.
Hereafter at the command of Yudhishthira, O monarch,
Arjuna, did not move from the city of Senavindu but
sent his troops only and brought under his sway those
five countries and peoples. For Arjuna, having
arrived at Devaprastha, the city of Senavindu, took
up his quarters there with his army consisting of four
kinds of forces. Thence, surrounded by the kings
and the peoples he had subjugated, the hero marched
against king Viswagaswa—that bull of Puru’s
race. Having vanquished in battle the brave mountaineers,
who were all great warriors, the son of Pandu, O king,
then occupied with the help of his troops, the town
protected by the Puru king. Having vanquished
in battle the Puru king, as also the robber tribes,
of the mountains, the son of Pandu brought under his
sway the seven tribes called Utsava-sanketa.
That bull of the Kshatriya race then defeated the brave
Kshatriyas of Kashmira and also king Lohita along with
ten minor chiefs. Then the Trigartas, the Daravas,
the Kokonadas, and various other Kshatriyas, O king,
advanced against the son of Pandu. That Prince
of the Kuru race then took the delightful town of
Avisari, and then brought under his sway Rochamana
ruling in Uraga. Then the son of Indra (Arjuna),
putting forth his might, pressed the delightful town
of Singhapura that was well-protected with various
weapons. Then Arjuna, that bull amongst the son
of Pandu, at the head of all his troops, fiercely attacked
the regions called Suhma and Sumala. Then the
son of Indra, endued with great prowess, after pressing
them with great force, brought the Valhikas always
difficult of being vanquished, under his sway.
Then Falguna, the son of Pandu, taking with him a
select force, defeated the Daradas along with the
Kambojas. Then the exalted son of Indra vanquished
the robber tribes that dwelt in the north-eastern
frontier and those also that dwelt in the woods.
And, O great king, the son of Indra also subjugated
the allied tribes of the Lohas, the eastern Kambojas,
and northern Rishikas. And the battle with the
Rishikas was fierce in the extreme. Indeed, the
