Mahabharata
English
Citrāṅgadopākhyāna(ṃ), “episode relating to Citrāṅgada.” § 166 (cf. Satyavatīlābhop.): I, 101. Two sons were born of Satyavatī, Citrāṅgada and Vicitravīrya. Before the last had attained to majority, Śāntanu died and ascended to heaven, Bhīshma placed Citrāṅgada on the throne. Citrāṅgada considered nobody his equal, not even the gods and Asuras. Therefore the king of the Gandharvas bearing the same name fought a three years' battle with him at Kurukshetra on the banks of the Sarasvatī, where Citrāṅgada was slain
then the Gandharva ascended to heaven. Bhīshma installed Vicitravīrya, yet in his minority, on the throne of the Kurus and ruled for him. (For continuation v. Vicitravīryop.)
