He then brought under subjection all the kings the northern country. Having vanquished Bhagadatta, the son of Rudra (Karna) ascended the great mountain Himalayas fighting all along with many foes. Going on all sides, he conquered and brought under subjection all the kings inhabiting the Himalayas and he made them pay tribute.
अथोत्तरां दिशं गत्वा वशे चक्रे नराधिपान्॥ भगदत्तं च निर्जित्य राधेयो गिरिमारुहत्। हिमवन्तं महाशैलं युध्यमानश्च शत्रुभिः॥ प्रययौ च दिशः सर्वान् नृपतीन् वशमानयत्। स हैमवतिकाञ्जित्वा करं सर्वानदापयत्॥
