Arjuna Conquers the North and Subdues BhagadattaCh. 248
Arjuna marches north, conquering the lands of the Kunindas, Anartas, and Kalakutas. His campaign culminates in an eight-day battle against the mighty King Bhagadatta of Pragjyotisha, a friend of Indra, who commands armies of kiratas and chinas. Exhausted by Arjuna's untiring valor, Bhagadatta surrenders and agrees to pay tribute to Yudhishthira.
