SECTION XXIX
(Digvijaya Parva Continued)
Vaisampayana said,--that chastiser of all foes
then vanquished king Srenimat of the country of Kumara, and then Vrihadvala,
the king of Kosala. Then the foremost of the sons of Pandu, by performing feats
excelling in fierceness, defeated the virtuous and mighty king Dirghayaghna of
Ayodhya. And the exalted one then subjugated the country of Gopalakaksha and
the northern Kosalas and also the king of Mallas. And the mighty one, arriving
then in the moist region at the foot of the Himalayas soon brought the whole
country under his sway. And that bull of Bharata race brought under control in
this way diverse countries. And endued with great energy and in strength the
foremost of all strong men, the son of Pandu next conquered the country of
Bhallata, as also the mountain of Suktimanta that was by the side of Bhallata.
Then Bhima of terrible prowess and long arms, vanquishing in battle the
unretreating Suvahu the king of Kasi, brought him under complete sway. Then that
bull among the sons of Pandu overcame in battle, by sheer force, the great king
Kratha reigning in the region lying about Suparsa. Then the hero of great
energy vanquished the Matsya and the powerful Maladas and the country called
Pasubhumi that was without fear or oppression of any kind. And the long-armed
hero then, coming from that land, conquered Madahara, Mahidara, and the
Somadheyas, and turned his steps towards the north. And the mighty son of Kunti
then subjugated, by sheer force, the country called Vatsabhumi, and the king of
the Bhargas, as also the ruler of the Nishadas and Manimat and numerous other
kings. Then Bhima, with scarcely any degree of exertion and very soon,
vanquished the southern Mallas and the Bhagauanta mountains. And the hero next
vanquished, by policy alone, the Sarmakas and the Varmakas. And that tiger
among men then defeated with comparative ease that lord of earth, Janaka the
king of the Videhas. And the hero then subjugated strategically the Sakas and
the barbarians living in that part of the country. And the son of Pandu,
sending forth expeditions from Videha, conquered the seven kings of the Kiratas
living about the Indra mountain. The mighty hero then, endued with abundant
energy, vanquished in battle the Submas and the Prasuhmas. And winning them
over to his side, the son of Kunti, possessed of great strength, marched
against Magadha. On his way he subjugated the monarchs known by the names of
Danda and Dandadhara, And accompanied by those monarchs, the son of Pandu
marched against Girivraja. After bringing the son of Jarasandha under his sway
by conciliation and making him pay tribute, the hero then accompanied by the
monarchs he had vanquished, marched against Kansa. And making the earth tremble
by means of his troops consisting of the four kinds of forces, the foremost of
the Pandavas then encountered Karna that slayer of foes. And, O Bharata, having
subjugated Karna and brought him under his sway, the mighty hero then
vanquished the powerful king of the mountainous regions. And the son of Pandu
then slew in a fierce encounter, by the strength of his arms, the mighty king
who dwelt in Madagiri. And the Pandava then, O king, subjugated in battle those
strong and brave heroes of fierce prowess, viz., the heroic and mighty
Vasudeva, the king of Pundra and king Mahaujah who reigned in Kausika-kachchha,
and then attacked the king of Vanga. And having vanquished Samudrasena and king
Chandrasena and Tamralipta, and also the king of the Karvatas and the ruler of
the Suhmas, as also the kings that dwelt on the sea-shore, that bull among the
Bharatas then conquered all Mlechchha tribes. The mighty son of the wind-god
having thus conquered various countries, and exacting tributes from them all
advanced towards Lohity. And the son of Pandu then made all the Mlechchha kings
dwelling in the marshy regions on the sea-coast, pay tributes and various kinds
of wealth, and sandal wood and aloes, and clothes and gems, and pearls and
blankets and gold and silver and valuable corals. The Mlechchha kings showered
upon the illustrious son of Kunti a thick downpour of wealth consisting of
coins and gems counted by hundreds of millions. Then returning to Indraprastha,
Bhima of terrible prowess offered the whole of that wealth unto king
Yudhisthira the just."
