Bhurishrava dies

With his hands cut off, Bhurishrava fainted. Regaining consciousness, he said to Arjuna - Shame on you. You cut off my hands in an unfair manner. I was fighting Satyaki. Why did you interfere? You will go to hell for this.
Arjuna was ashamed.
Krishna said - Do not fear Arjuna. Bhurishrava talks of fair war. What did he do when Abhimanyu was killed by unfair means?
Bhurishrava said Krishna, I know no one as evil as you.
He then realized he was cursing the Lord and kept quiet.
He then said I will not go anywhere cursing the Lord.
Krishna said Leave all ill will aside and go off to Vaikuntha.

Bhurishrava sat quietly. Satyaki, seeing his enemy, sitting on the ground, jumped with a sword in his hand.

He cut off Bhurishrava's head. The kauravas seeing this started showering arrows at Satyaki. Satyaki them jumped on his chariot and began fighting.

Birth of Bhurishrava

The sage said to Janmajeya - Let me tell you about Satyaki a bit.

Once Krishna was performing a sacrifice for pleasing the departed forefathers. He invited many kings for the ceremony. Of the invited kings was a king called Somdatta. Seeing this angered Shini, who was a uncle of Krishna and the brother of Vasudeva. Shini said how could Somdatta be there? He was not fit to be invited? Somdatta also started abusing Shini. Shini got up and grabbed Somdatta by his hair. He then started slapping Somdatta till his teeth started shaking.

The insulted Somdatta left. He went to the forest to pray for revenge. He prayed to Shiva who appeared before him. He asked Shiva to bless him with a son who would be able to avenge him. Shiva said a son would be born who would win over the son of Shini.

This was Bhurishrava, who with the blessing of Shiva, was able to capture Satyaki.

Bhurishrava catches Satyaki

While Arjuna had gone to look for Jayadratha, Yudhistira was worried. Finding no one, he asked Satyaki to lead the battle.

Satyaki went inside the formation and started killing warriors. The king Bhurishrava, seeing this came and attacked Satyaki. Satyaki cut off the arrows of Bhurishrava.
Bhurisharava asked Satyaki to come down on the ground and fight.
Satyaki jumoed down and both started fighting with their swords.

Krishna saw this and asked Arjuna to help Satyaki. He said Bhurishrava has caught Satyaki by his hair and is about to cut off his head.

Arjuna then aimed arrows at Bhurishrava, cutting off his hands.

Janmajeya asked Satyaki was able to defeat all, but how was he easily overcome by Bhurishrava?
