Bhishma said Hearing these words of the god of wind, Arjuna remained silent. At this, the god of wind once more addressed him saying, When the dwellers of Heaven, headed by Indra, found themselves within the mouth of the Asura Mada, at that time, Chyavana took away from them the Earth.
भीष्म उवाच तूष्णीमासीदर्जुनस्तु पवनस्त्वब्रवीत् पुनः। शृणु मे ब्राह्मणेष्वेव मुख्यं कर्म जनाधिप॥ मदस्यास्यमनुप्राप्ता यदा सेन्द्रा दिवौकसः। तदैव च्यवनेनेह हृता तेषां वसुन्धरा॥
