Supratīka^1  : m.: Name of Bhagadatta's elephant.


A. Description: big (mahādvipa 6. 91. 41; 7. 25. 36; 7. 27. 29; 7. 28. 39); excellent, chief or king of the elephants (gajapravara 6. 91. 52; nāgapravara 7. 25. 20, 58; vāraṇottama 6. 17. 36; dviparṣabha 7. 25. 35; dviradaśreṣṭha 7. 26. 5; nāgendra 6. 91. 36; gajapati 6. 91. 43; nāgarāja 6. 79. 25; 7. 25. 56); very swift (āśugati 7. 25. 39), hence although one, appeared to enemies like hundreds or hosts of elephants 7. 25. 39, 59; never fatigued, the elephant always achieved his objective in battles (saṁkhye kṛtakarmā jitaklamaḥ) 7. 26. 5; indescribable, unrivalled in battles (sadāpratigajo yudhi/sarvaśabdātigaḥ) 7. 26. 5; white like silver (rajatopama 6. 112. 57); compared with elephant of Indra (mahendragajasaṁnibha 6. 112. 55); at one place Supratīka actually identified with the elephant of Indra (yena nāgena maghavān ajayad daityadānavān/sa nāgapravaro bhīmaṁ sahasā samupādravat) 7. 25. 20; yet also said to be in appearance (dark ?) like a cloud (jīmūtasaṁkāśān nāgāt 7. 27. 24).


B. Part in the epic war: Ordered by Bhīsma, Bhagadatta with his elephant in rut (not named) rushed against Bhīma; Abhimanyu and other heroes pierced the elephant with arrows; incited, the elephant ran with double speed; the rutting elephant, goaded by Bhagadatta, attacked with double speed the Pāṇḍava warriors like the God of Death; seeing his big form all the great warriors on the side of the Pāṇḍavas became uneasy 6. 60. 37-44; Ghaṭotkaca drove his elephant against Bhagadatta in order to kill him and his elephant; the other elephants driven by the Rākṣasas also attacked Bhagadatta's elephant with tusks; afflicted by the attack and pierced with arrows, Bhagadatta's elephant roared loudly like a thunder; hearing it Bhīṣma reported to Droṇa and Duryodhaṇa that Bhagadatta must be in danger 6. 60. 5357; in another battle between Bhagadatta and Ghaṭotkaca, the latter tried to kill the former's elephant (Supratīka not named, referred to as prāgjyotiṣagaja) with a śakti, but it was cut into three pieces by Bhagadatta 6. 79. 37-38; Bhagadatta, mounted on Supratīka, attacked the Pāṇḍava heroes (6. 91. 23); Bhagadatta, seated on Supratīka's head (supratīkaśirogataḥ 6. 91. 33), ichor flowing from Supratīka's temples in seven streams, attacked Bhīma 6. 91. 31-33, 37; Pāṇḍava warriors encircled Supratīka on all sides; Supratīka attacked by the mountain-like elephant of the king of the Daśārṇa country 6. 91. 40, 42; Bhagadatta goaded his elephant Supratīka with his hook and toe (aṅkuśāṅguṣṭhanuditaḥ sa gajapravaro yudhi 6. 91. 52); running hither and thither Supratīka crushed chariots, horses together with their riders, and footsoldiers in hundreds and thousands; as a result the Pāṇḍava army squeezed like a piece of skin placed on fire; in order to kill Supratīka Ghaṭotkaca hurled his śūla against him, but Bhagadatta protected him by cutting down the śūla 6. 91. 53-54, 57-58; Bhagadatta, with his Supratīka crushing the Pāṇḍava army, rushed towards Yudhiṣṭhira 6. 91. 79; Arjuna with great effort checked the advance of Supratīka and pierced him with sharp arrows made of ayas 6. 112. 55, 57; in the fight of Bhagadatta with Bhīma, the former's elephant (Supratīka not named) appeared to kill Bhīma 7. 25. 19-24; Bhagadatta on his elephant fought the army of the Pāṇḍavas and the Pāñcālas 7. 25. 24-27, and the army led by Yudhiṣṭhira 7. 25. 32-41; Bhagadatta's elephant took hold of Sātyaki's chariot and hurled it away 7. 25. 36; in the encounter between Bhagadatta's elephant and the elephant of the king of Daśārṇas the former proved victorious 7. 25. 28-30; in the encounter between Bhīma and Bhagadatta, the latter's elephant frightened Bhīma's horses by sprinkling water on them 7. 25. 43; he shattered the charioteer of Yuyutsu by stepping on his horses 7. 25. 49; Bhagadatta charged his elephant against Kṛṣṇa and Arjuṇa to kill them; seeing him rush like the angry God of Death, Kṛṣṇa avoided frontal attack by quickly driving Arjuna's chariot around the elephant keeping him on the right (cakre 'pasavyaṁ tvaritaḥ syandanena janārdanaḥ 7. 27. 28); although Supratīka was within his reach, Arjuna, remembering the rule (of the war), did not kill the elephant together with Bhagadatta from behind (saṁprāptam api neyeṣa parāvṛttaṁ mahādvipam/sārohaṁ mṛtyusātkartuṁ smaran dharmaṁ dhanaṁjayaḥ 7. 27. 29); Bhagadatta's elephant then sent many elephants and horses to death and crushed the chariots 7. 27. 27-30.


C. Supratīka not named: As in some of the above accounts, at some other places also Bhagadatta is mentioned with his elephant without naming the elephant; at all such places obviously Supratīka is meant: 5. 164. 38; 6. 17. 36; 6. 60. 53, 59; 6. 79. 37, 41; 6. 91. 37; 6. 112. 54-57; 7. 25. 19; 7. 26. 3, 5; 7. 27. 21-24; 27-30; 7. 28. 3, 8.


D. Comparisons:

(1) with mountain: (a) Supratīka with ichor issuing out at seven places compared with a mountain with water flowing down on all sides 6. 91. 32; (b) pierced by arrows and blood issuing from his body, Supratīka looked like Himavant coloured with red minerals (dhātucitra ivādrirāṭ) 6. 91. 41; (c) fight between Supratīka and the elephant of the king of Daśārṇas compared with that of two winged mountains 7. 25. 29; (d) Bhagadatta's elephant frightened the enemies as formerly the chief winged mountain frightened (its enemies ?) 7. 25. 56; (e) Bhagadatta's elephant devoid of his armour looked like the king of the mountains bereft of clouds 7. 28. 8;

(2) with other elephants: (a) Supratīka with Bhagadatta seated on him and shooting arrows compared with Airāvata with Indra seated on him and sending down streams of water 6. 91 33, (5. 16. 38); (b) Bhagadatta on elephant destroying Pāṇḍava army compared with Indra on his Airāvata destroying the Dānavas 7. 25. 40; (c) Bhagadatta's elephant crushed the Pāṇḍava army as a wild elephant crushes a host of lotuses 6. 79. 41;

(3) with cloud: Bhagadatta's elephant pierced by arrows looked like a big cloud penetrated by sun's rays 7. 25. 52;

(4) with ocean: Bhagadatta's elephant frightened the enemies as ocean frightens the merchants 7. 25. 56;

(5) with shore of the ocean: Supratīka checked the onslaught of the elephant of the Daśārṇa king as the shore checks the advance of the ocean 6. 91. 43;

(6) with arrow: Supratīka, discharged against Bhīma, sped like an arrow discharged from the bow-string 6. 91. 37;

(7) with fire: Supratīka goaded by Bhagadatta looked like the Saṁvartaka fire 6. 91. 52.


E. End: Bhagadatta, with his elephant Supratīka, was killed (śasta) by Arjuna 1. 2. 161; in the final encounter of Bhagadatta with Arjuna, the latter cut down the armour of Bhagadatta's elephant (Supratīka not named) 7. 28. 8; he struck the elephant between the temples with the nārāca arrow; the arrow went deep upto its feathered part; with the limbs stiffened and the tusks piercing the ground, the elephant fell down; he died roaring aloud 7. 28. 37, 39.
