Salya is called Artayani after the name of his father. 381. i.e., the universal destroyer armed with his bow. Gory mace wet with &c. the original is pleonastic. The Bengal reading parantapa is a mistake for kathanchana. 'Kimpaca' is a species of cucurbitaceous plant. To avoid periphrasis I render it poison.
The Bengal texts have Parantapa with a Visarga, thus implying that it refers to Gudakesa. The Bombay edition prints it without the Visarga, implying that it is in the vocative case, referring to Dhritarashtra, the listener. One of the most useful rules in translating from one language into another is to use identical words for identical expressions in the original.
