Bhagadatta holds Arjuna for eight days

In the text — not yet checked

Arjuna walked around the man he had just killed because he was his father's friend.

Before the Rajasuya Arjuna fought the elephant king of Pragjyotisha for eight days without winning, until Bhagadatta recognised the situation and accepted tribute. Later at Kurukshetra Arjuna killed him and circled the fallen king as a mark of respect.
