as also with the bow, acquired wonderful proficiency. And Sahadeva obtaining the whole science of morality and duties from (Vrihaspati) the spiritual chief of the celestials, continued to live under the control of his brothers. And Nakula—the favorite of his brothers—taught by Drona became known as a skilful warrior and a great charioteer (Ati-ratha). Indeed, Arjuna and the other Pandava princes became so powerful that they slew in war the great Sauvira who had performed a sacrifice extending for three years undaunted by the inroads of the Gandharvas. And the king of the Yavanas himself whom the powerful Pandu even had failed to bring under subjection was brought by Arjuna under control. Then (illegible text)rgain, Vipula, the king of Sauvira, endued with great prowess, who had always shown a disregard for the Kurus, was made by the intelligent Arjuna to feel the edge of his power. And Arjuna also repressed by means of his arrows (the pride of) king Sumitra of Sauviva, also known by the name of Dattamitra, who had resolutely sought an encounter with him. The third of the Pandava princes, assisted by Bhima, with only a single chariot subjugated all the kings of the East backed by ten thousand chariots. In the same way, having conquered with a single chariot the whole of the South, Dhananjaya sent unto the kingdom of the Kurus a considerable spoil.
"Thus did those foremost of men—the illustrious Pandavas—conquering the territories of other kings extended the limits of their own kingdom. But beholding the great prowess and strength of those mighty bowmen, king Dhrita-rashtra's sentiments towards the Pandavas became suddenly poisoned, and from that day the monarch became so anxious that he could not sleep."
Thus ends the hundred and forty-first section in the Sambhava of the Adi Parva.
