Karṇaśravas, a brahman. § 324 (Dvaitavanapraveśa): III, 26, 986 (among the brahmans who waited upon Yudhishṭhira). [Karṇa-digvijaya(ḥ)] (“subjection of the earth by Karṇa”). § 515 (Ghoshay.). When Duryodhana had come to Hāstinapura, Bhīshma said to him that, as he had told him before, this journey did not please him, and advised him to make peace with the Pāṇḍavas. Duryodhana laughed and sallied out with Śakuni, followed by Karṇa and Duḥśāsana. When Bhīshma, ashamed, had gone away, they returned and began to consult. Karṇa complained of the partiality of Bhīshma for the Pāṇḍavas, and promised to conquer the world for Duryodhana. Duryodhana gladly accepted his offer, and on an auspicious lunar day, etc., Karṇa set out (III, 253). Karṇa, surrounded by a large army, first made Drupada and the princes that were under him pay tribute. He then successively conquered the north (Bhagadatta, the kings inhabiting the Himavat), the east (the Aṅgas, Vaṅgas, Kaliṅgas, Maṇḍikas (B. Śuṇḍika), Mithilas, Māgadhas, Karkakhaṇḍas, Āvaśīras, Yodhyas, Ahikshattra, Vatsabhūmi, Kevalī, Mṛttikāvatī, Mohana, Pattana, Tripurā, Kośalā), the south (Rukmin, the Pāṇḍya mountain, Kerala, Nīla, the son of Veṇudāri, Śaiśupāla, the Āvantyas, the Vṛshṇis, etc.), and the west (Yāvanas, Barbaras, etc.), with the Mlecchas, the mountaineers, Bhadras, Rohitakas, Āgneyas, Mālavas, Śaśakas, Nagnajit, etc. Having returned to Hāstinapura, he was highly praised by Duryodhana and Dhṛtarāshṭra, who sat with Gāndhārī (III, 254).
