Verse 22

¹⁷Arjuna, overlord of the Haihayas, a bull among kshatriyas, worshipped Datta, a portion of a portion of Narayana, with his services and his attendance, ¹⁸and gained a thousand arms, and the quality of not being withstood by his enemies, and force of sense that nothing checked, and beauty, fire, valour, fame and strength; ¹⁹and mastery in yoga, and a lordship in which are the powers that begin with becoming small. He moved through the worlds with nothing to stop his going, as the wind moves. ²⁰Surrounded by jewels of women, playing in the water of the Reva, wild with drink and wearing the Vaijayanti garland, he blocked the river with his arms.

²¹The waters of the river, turned back on their own course, flooded the camp of the ten-headed one, who thought himself a hero; and he could not bear that strength in the other man. ²²He was seized as easily as in play, before the eyes of the women, his offence done; he was shut up in Mahismati, and then let go, the way one lets a monkey go.
