  1. The mighty son of Pritha then, his mouth
  2. smoking with wrath, struck the invincible god in the form of a Kirata, with hi clenched fists, blows that
  3. descended like thunderbolts. The god in the Kirata form returned Phalguna's blows with fierce blows
  4. resembling the thunderbolts of Indra. And in consequence of that conflict of blows between the son of
  5. Pandu and the Kirata, there arose in that place loud and frightful sounds. That terrible conflict of blows,
  6. resembling the conflict of yore between Vritra and Vasava, lasted but for a moment.
  7.  
  8. The mighty Jishnu clasping the Kirata began to press him with his breast, but the Kirata, possessed of great strength
  9. pressed the insensible son of Pandu with force. And in consequence of the pressure of their arms and of
  10. their breasts, their bodies began to emit smoke like charcoal in fire. The great god then, smiting the
  11. already smitten son of Pandu, and attacking him in anger with his full might, deprived him of his senses.
  12. Then, O Bharata, Phalguna, thus pressed by the god of the gods, with limbs, besides, bruised and
  13. mangled, became incapable of motion and was almost reduced to a ball of flesh.
  14.  
  15. And struck by the illustrious god, he became breathless and, falling down on earth without power of moving, looked like
  16. one that was dead. Soon, however, he regained consciousness, and, rising from his prostrate position,
  17. with body covered with blood, became filled with grief.

  19. Varna Parva: Section XXXIX
