SECTION XXVIII
(Digvijaya Parva Continued)
Vaisampayana said,--in the meantime, Bhimasena
also endued with great energy, having obtained the assent of Yudhishthira the
just marched towards the eastern direction. And the tiger among the Bharatas,
possessed of great valour and ever increasing the sorrows of his foes, was
accompanied by a mighty host with the full complement of elephants and horses
and cars, well-armed and capable of crushing all hostile kingdoms. That tiger
among men, the son of Pandu, going first into the great country of the
Panchalas, began by various means to conciliate that tribe. Then that hero,
that bull of the Bharata race, within a short time, vanquished the Gandakas and
the Videhas. That exalted one then subjugated the Dasarnas. There in the
country of the Dasarnas, the king called Sudharman with his bare arms fought a
fierce battle with Bhimasena. And Bhimasena, beholding that feat of the
illustrious king, appointed the mighty Sudharman as the first in command of his
forces. Then Bhima of terrible prowess marched towards the east, causing the
earth itself to tremble with the tread of the mighty host that followed him.
Then that hero who in strength was the foremost of all strong men defeated in
battle Rochamana, the king of Aswamedha, at the head of all his troops. And the
son of Kunti, having vanquished that monarch by performing feats that excelled
in fierceness, subjugated the eastern region. Then that prince of the Kuru
race, endued with great prowess going into the country of Pulinda in the south,
brought Sukumara and the king Sumitra under his sway. Then, O Janamejaya, that
bull in the Bharata race, at the command of Yudhishthira the just marched
against Sisupala of great energy. The king of Chedi, hearing of the intentions
of the son of Pandu, came out of his city. And that chastiser of all foes then
received the son of Pritha with respect. Then, O king, those bulls of the Chedi
and the Kuru lines, thus met together, enquired after each other's welfare.
Then, O monarch, the king of Chedi offered his kingdom unto Bhima and said
smilingly,--'O sinless one, upon what art thou bent?' And Bhima thereupon
represented unto him the intentions of king Yudhishthira. And Bhima dwelt
there, O king, for thirty nights, duly entertained by Sisupala. And after this
he set out from Chedi with his troops and vehicles."
