Kotikashya Questions Draupadi in the Hermitage

A group of kings, hunting in the forest, comes upon a lone woman of extraordinary beauty standing in a hermitage, holding a kadamba branch. Their leader, Kotikashya, demands to know who she is, whose wife or daughter she is — and introduces the powerful kings who stand with him, including Jayadratha of Souvira.

Pandavas Defeat the Allied Kings in Battle

Jayadratha orders his allied kings to stand firm and attack. The warriors from Shibi, Sindhu, Trigarta, and Souvira face the five Pandavas — and are decimated. Bhima kills Kotikashya with a javelin. Arjuna slays twelve from Souvira with his arrows. Nakula cuts off an elephant's trunk and tusks with his sword. Headless torsos litter the battlefield, and the survivors are routed.
