Quote
“Virata’s son Uttara is, in my judgment, one of the foremost of Rathas” – The Mahabharata, Book 5: Udyoga Parva: Uluka Dutagamana Parva: Section CLXXI
“And Uttara also, the son of Virata, on a tusker with upraised trunk, rushed against the ruler of the Madras. Salya, however, succeeded in checking the unparalleled impetuosity of that prince of elephants rushing quickly towards his car. That prince of elephants, in great wrath, placing his leg upon the yoke of (Salya’s) car, killed his four large steeds of excellent speed. The ruler of the Madras then, staying on that car whose steeds had been slain, hurled a dart, all made of iron, and resembling a snake, for slaying Uttara outright. The latter’s coat of mail being cut through by that dart, he became totally deprived of his senses and fell down from his elephant’s neck, with the hook and the lance loosened from his grasp.” – The Mahabharata, Book 6: Bhishma Parva: Bhagavat-Gita Parva: Section XLVII
