Rukmangada
“Then the mighty Rukmangada, son of the ruler of the Madras, for assuring the frightened troops, fearlessly said, ‘Ye heroes, ye need not fear! When I am here, what is Abhimanyu? Without doubt, I will seize this one a living captive’. Having said these words, the valiant prince, borne on his beautiful and well-equipped car, rushed at Abhimanyu. Piercing Abhimanyu with three shafts in the chest, three in the right arm, and three other sharp shafts in the left arm, he uttered a loud roar. Phalguni’s son, however, cutting off his bow, his right and left arms, and his head adorned with beautiful eyes and eye-brows quickly felled them on the earth. Beholding Rukmangada, the honoured son of Salya, slain by the illustrious son of Subhadra, that Rukmangada viz., who had vowed to consume his foe or take him alive, many princely p. 97 friends of Salya’s son, O king, accomplished in smiting and incapable of being easily defeated in battle, and owning standards decked with gold, (came up for the fight).’” – The Mahabharata, Book 7: Drona Parva: Abhimanyu-badha Parva: Section XLIII
