Quote

The Mahabharata, Book 2: Sabha Parva: Jarasandhta-badha Parva: Section XXX
“The mighty Anuvinda then endued with great prowess, beholding Vinda slain left his steedless car, having taken up a mace. Then that foremost of car-warriors, viz., the brother of Vinda, apparently dancing as he advanced with that mace in his arms, proceeded in that battle for avenging the slaughter of his elder brother. Filled with rage, Anuvinda struck Vasudeva on the forehead with that mace. The latter, however, trembled not, but stood still like the mountain Mainaka. Then Arjuna with six arrows, cut off his neck and two legs and two arms and head. Thus cut p. 199 off (into fragments, the limbs of) Anuvinda fell down like so many hills.” – The Mahabharata, Book 7: Drona Parva: Jayadratha-Vadha Parva: Section XCVIII
