Indeed, that Arjuna is irresistible in fight, who hath for his friend Narayana the Creator and Lord of all the worlds fully acquainted with the course of everything. Who is there in the three worlds, O Bharata, who would venture to vanquish that hero the Ape-bannered Jishnu who hath no equal in battle? Countless are the virtues that reside in Partha. Janardana again, is superior to him.
The correct reading is Vishnu, and not Jishnu as in many of the Bengal texts. Indrayudha is Indra's bow or the rainbow. The Bengal reading is Savayambhuriva bhanuna which I have adopted. The Bombay reading is Merurivabhanuna, which means "like the mountain Meru with Sun." It is difficult to make a choice between the two.
And beholding that feat of his brother, Jishnu of extraordinary intelligence, himself also of inconceivable feats, wondered much. And equal unto Indra himself in achievements, shaking off all fear he stood with his bow ready to receive those assailants. There is no doubt, O Sankarshana, about this, if I am Vasudeva.
Then Bhima, that grinder of all foes, and Jishnu, and the illustrious twins, on returning from their eleemosynary round in the evening, cheerfully gave everything unto Yudhishthira.
Then Dhrishtadyumna, O king, and Pandu's son Yudhishthira, having heard those words of Bhishma urged their array on. And Yudhishthira said, 'Advance! Fight! Vanquish Bhishma in battle. Ye all will be protected by that conqueror of foes, viz., Jishnu of unbaffled aim. Ye Srinjayas, entertain no fear today of Bhishma in battle. And they made the most vigorous efforts for the overthrow of Bhishma.
O son of Pritha, known as thou art over whole earth, thou wilt not be able to live unknown, like the sun that can never course through the sky unknown to men. Like a large tree in a well-watered region with spreading branches and flowers and leaves, or like Indra's elephant, how will Jishnu live unknown?
And self-restraint, and charity, and strength, and intelligence, and modesty, and fortitude, and excellent energy even all these are established in that majestic one of magnificent soul. And, O Pandava, Jishnu never committed any shameful act through poverty of spirit. And in the world, none ever say that Partha hath uttered an untruth.
Ye Adityas, select Sthanu, otherwise called Ishana and Jishnu, who is never fatigued with work, as your warrior. It is he that will destroy those Asuras. Hearing these words of his, the gods with Sakra at their head, making Brahman take their lead, sought the protection of the Deity having the bull for his mark.
Vaisampayana said, "The gods and the Gandharvas then, understanding the wishes of Indra, procured an excellent Arghya and reverenced the son of Pritha in a hurry. And giving water to wash both his feet and face, they caused the prince to enter the palace of Indra. And thus worshipped, Jishnu continued to live in the abode of his father.
O fool of little understanding, how wilt thou fight with me while I am stationed in the midst of my elephant force?" "'Having said these words unto king Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma, Uluka, turning his face then towards Jishnu, said unto him these words, "Fight without bragging, O Arjuna! Why dost thou brag so much? Success resulteth from the application of method.
