Vaishampayana said Coming there at that time and beholding Kichaka and surrounding him all sides his friends began to lament.

Then beholding Kichaka with all his limbs mangled like a tortoise brought to the land, the hairs of their bodies siood erect and they were filled with fear.

Then seeing him crushed by Bhimasena like a Danava by Indra they tried to take him out side for performing his obsequial ceremonies.

Then the assembled sons of Suta beheld Krishna of faultless features standing hard by reclining on a pillar.

Amongst those assembled, some wicked Kichaka's exclaimed: "soon kill this unchaste woman for whom Kichaka has been slain.

Or without slaying her, let us burn her, with him who desired to have her; for we should do by all means what was liked by the deceased son of a Suta."

Then they said to Virata: "For her, Kichaka has been slain; we shall burn her with him; it behoves you to give permission.”

0 King, knowing well the prowess of Sutas, he gave them permission to burn down Sairandhri with Suta's son.

Then approaching terrified Krishna, stricken with stupor and having lotus eyes the Kichaka's caught hold of her violently.

Then binding that youthful damsel and placing her upon the bier they started with great joy towards the cremation ground.

Being thus carried away by the sons of Suta, O king, the faultless fertured and chaste Krishna, having lord, bewailed for the help of her husbands.

Draupadi said Let Jaya, Jayanta, Vijaya, Jayatsena and Jayadbala hear my words. The Sutas are taking me away.

Let those powerful and quick-coursing Gandharvas, the clatter of whose cars is very great and the twang of whose bows in a great encounter is heard like the roar of thunder, understand that the Sutas are taking me away.

Vaishampayana said Hearing those sorrowful words and bewailing of Krishna, Bhima, without reflecting the least, got up from his bed.

Bhimasena said: I have heard those which O Sairandhri, you have said; you have no fear any more, O timid lady, from the Sutas.

Vaishampayana said Having said this, the mighty-armed; Bhima, to slay them, began to swell his body and then carefully changing his dress.

He went out of the palace by a wrong way. Then speedily scaling the walls, Bhimasena.

Went to the cremation ground where the Kichaka's had-gone. Then scaling the walls and issuing out of the excellent city.

Bhima furiously rushed before the Sutas. And going near the funeral pyre he saw there a tree.

Tall as a palmyra, with huge branches and with red top; then holding it like an elephant with his arms, he uprooted it.

Measuring ten Vyamas and placed it on his shoulders. Then taking that tree up with its trunk and branches, measuring ten Vyamas that slayer of foes rushed towards the Sutas like Yama with mace in his hand. By the velocity of his movement, the banian, Nyagrodha, Kinshukh and other trees fell down on earth an lay in a heap. Beholding that Gandharva approach enraged like a lion, all those Sutas were afraid and trembled in sorrow and fear, Then beholding the Gandharva approach like death, the Kichaka's cremated their cldest brother and spoke amongst themselves trembling in fear and sorrow.

“Here comes the powerful Gandharva enraged uprooting a tree. Soon release Sairandhri from whom this fear has come."

Then seeing the tree that had been uprooted by Bhimaseni they set Draupadi free and ran towards the city.

Beholding them thus taking to their heels, the powerful Bhima, the son of the Wind-god, dispatched with that tree, O king, hundred and five of them to the abode of death, like the wielder of thunder-bolt, the Danavas. Then releasing Krishna he comforted her.

Then the irrepressible mighty-armed Vrikodara Bhima said to the poor Panchali, Draupadi, with tearful eyes.

Then, O timid lady, all those from whom proceeded you misery, have been killed. Return O Krishna, to the city, you have no fear. I shall go to Virata's kitchen by another way.

Vaishampayana said O descendant of Bharata, thus there were slain hundred and five of them (as if) a huge forest over-spread with uprooted trees.

Thus, Oking, one hundred and five Kichaka's killed. Including the commander-in-chief who was slain before, they were one hundred and six.

Beholding that wonderful deed men and women assembled; O descendant of Bharata, they were filled with surprise and could not speak any thing.
