Virata
Virata was the king of Matsyas, in whose palace the Pandavas and Draupadi lived during their Ajnatavasa.
On the 12th day of war
Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti, with their troops encountered Virata, the ruler of Matsyas at the head of his forces, like Indra and Agni in days of old encountering the (Asura) Bali. That awful encounter between the Matsyas and the Kekayas, in which steeds and car-warriors and elephants fought most fearlessly, resembled that between the gods and the Asuras in days of old.
