[Pāṇḍu-digvijaya(ḥ)] (“subjection of the earth by Pāṇḍu”). § 177 (Sambhavap.): After some time Bhīshma went to the capital of the Madra king Śalya (“the bull of the Bāhlīkas”), and according to the custom observed in that family and ordained by Svayambhū himself, he obtained his sister Mādrī for Pāṇḍu by giving great riches, and took her to Hāstinapura, where the nuptials were celebrated on an auspicious day and muhūrta. After thirty days Pāṇḍu started on his conquest of the world, and conquered the Daśārṇas (āgaskṛtaḥ), slew the Magadha king Dīrgha (who had offended against numerous kings) in Rājagṛha
then going into Mithilā he defeated the Videhas
then the Kāśis, Suhmas, and Puṇḍras, etc., and after having made all kings the vassals of the Kurus, he returned laden with much wealth to Hāstinapura, where people said: “They who before robbed the Kurus of both territory and wealth, have been made to pay tribute” by Pāṇḍu (I, 113).
