There were sixteen thousand other women of the great-souled one; their sons, grandsons, and others numbered in the hundreds and thousands.

Naraka was slain by whom the Parijata tree was taken; Balarama and Shishupala, and the monkey Dvivida, were also killed.

From Aniruddha was born Vajra, who became king after Hari departed; he made Sandipani his guru, along with his son, and in Mathura, Ugrasena was established as protector of the gods.

Brahma said: I shall now declare the Bharata, the removal of the earth's burden; Krishna, fighting on account of the Pandavas and others, accomplished it.

The other was Vichitravirya, lord of the princess of Kashi; when Vichitravirya died, from Vyasa, through niyoga, sons were born.

Then those great souls entered the house of a Brahmin in Ekachakra, having slain the demon Baka.

ततः पाञ्चालविषयेद्रौपद्यास्ते स्वयंवरम् । विज्ञाय वीर्यशुल्कान्तां पाण्डवा उपयेमिरे ॥ १,१४५.

Afterward, in the land of Panchala, the Pandavas won Draupadi at her self-choice ceremony, knowing her to be the prize for valor.

He received the divine chariot Nandighosha, the unrivaled bow Gandiva famed in the three worlds, the supreme quiver of inexhaustible arrows, and impenetrable armor.

With that bow, the heroic Pandava, Arjuna, together with Krishna, offered the fire-god Jatavedas a mighty tribute.

Even Yudhishthira, righteous-souled and surrounded by his brothers, was defeated by Duryodhana, the sinful one, through deceitful dice, following the counsel of Karna, Duhshasana, and Shakuni.

Then, for twelve years, they performed great austerities in the forest, accompanied by Draupadi and the sage Dhaumya, surrounded by groups of ascetics.

They went to the city of Virata, taking refuge in disguise, and for one year, those wise ones served in the cattle-stalls.

After that, they returned to their own kingdom and earnestly requested King Duryodhana for five villages in place of half the realm.

नाप्तवन्तः कुरुक्षेत्रे युद्धञ्चक्रुर्बलान्विताः । अक्षौहिणीभिर्दिव्याभिः सप्तभिः परिवारिताः ॥ १,१४५.

Not obtaining them, they fought a mighty battle at Kurukshetra, supported by seven divine divisions of troops.
