“and Prativindhya against Citra owning a beautiful standard and a beautiful bow” – The Mahabharata, Book 8: Karna Parva: Section 13
“Citra, O Bharata, hurled the very weapon at Prativindhya. Striking the brave Prativindhya in that battle, that blazing dart, piercing through his right arm, fell down on the Earth, and falling illumined the whole
region like a blast of lightning. Then Prativindhya, O king, filled with rage, and desiring to compass the destruction of Citra, sped at him a lance decked with gold. That lance penetrating through his armour
and chest, entered the Earth like a mighty snake in its hole. Struck with that lance, the king fell down, stretching out his large and massive arms that resembled a couple of iron clubs.” – The Mahabharata, Book 8: Karna Parva: Section 13
