Alone

  1. Alone he saved the Kurus (from the Gandharvas), and 
  2. alone he satiated Agni. 
  3. Alone he led the life of a Brahmacharin for five years (on the breast of Himavat). 
  4. Taking up Subhadra on his car, alone he challenged Krishna to single combat. 
  5. Alone he fought with Rudra who stood before him as a forester. It was in this very forest that Partha rescued Krishna while she was being taken away (by Jayadratha). 
  6. It is he alone that hath, for five years, studied the science of weapons under Indra. 
  7. Alone vanquishing all foes he hath spread the fame of the Kurus. 
  8. Alone that chastiser of foes vanquished in battle Chitrasena, the king of the Gandharvas and in a moment his invincible troops also. 
  9. Alone he overthrew in battle the fierce Nivatakavachas and the Kalakhanchas, that were both incapable of being slain by the gods themselves.
