"You must first receive tribute from all the kings of Bharata. Let your brothers go forth and subdue the four quarters in your name. Only an emperor may perform the Rajasuya yagna."

Arjuna elected to go north, Bheema east, Nakula west and Sahadeva to the south. No king could resist Arjuna's advent; most preferred to acknowledge Yudhishtira's sovereignty without a battle that they could only lose. As Arjuna went north, the name Vijaya--the victorious--followed his triumphal progress.

Salva, the Sivabhakta and sorcerer whom Amba once chose, barred his way. Shalva was a friend of Kamsa and Jarasandha, of Rukmi and Sishupala of the old conspiracy that had opposed Krishna from the start. But he was no longer the dauntless kshatriya he had once been. Since news of Jarasandha's death spread, every king of that alliance was forced to reconsider his position. It was as if their heart had been carved from them.
