the cannibals and even the Karnapravarnas, and those tribes also called
the Kalamukhas who were a cross between human beings and Rakshasas, and
the whole of the Cole mountains, and also Surabhipatna, and the island
called the Copper island, and the mountain called Ramaka. The high-souled
warrior, having brought under subjection king Timingila, conquered a wild
tribe known by the name of the Kerakas who were men with one leg. The son
of Pandu also conquered the town of Sanjayanti and the country of the
Pashandas and the Karahatakas by means of his messengers alone, and made
all of them pay tributes to him. The hero brought under his subjection and
exacted tributes from the Paundrayas and the Dravidas along with the
Udrakeralas and the Andhras and the Talavanas, the Kalingas and the
Ushtrakarnikas, and also the delightful city of Atavi and that of the
Yavanas. And, O king of kings, that slayer of all foes, the virtuous and
intelligent son of Madri having arrived at the sea-shore, then despatched
with great assurance messengers unto the illustrious Vibhishana, the
grandson of Pulastya. And the monarch willingly accepted the sway of the
son of Pandu, for that intelligent and exalted king regarded it all as the
act of Time. And he sent unto the son of Pandu diverse kinds of jewels and
gems, and sandal and also wood, and many celestial ornaments, and much
costly apparel, and many valuable pearls. And the intelligent Sahadeva,
accepting them all, returned to his own kingdom.

"Thus it was, O king, that slayer of all foes, having vanquished by
conciliation and war numerous kings and having also made them pay tribute,
came back to his own city. The bull of the Bharata race, having presented
the whole of that wealth unto king Yudhisthira the just regarded himself,
O Janamejaya, as crowned with success and continued to live happily."
