End of the concluding auspicious chapter of Krishnavatara (based on Dasham Skandh Purana) in Bachittar Natak.21.
Twenty Four Avatars:
The Lord is One and the Victory is of the True Guru.
Now beings the description of Nara incarnation
CHAUPAI
Now let me describe the twentieth incarnation
The kind Murari (Kalpurakh) took form.
Arjuna appeared as a male avatar
Now I enumerate the twenty-second incarnation as to how he assumed this form. Arjuna became the Nara incarnation, who conquered the warriors of all the world.1.
(He) first smote the Niwat Kavachas (Indra's opposing stalwarts).
In the first place, he by killeing all the warriors, weaing unfailing coat of mail, removed the anxiety of his father Indra
Then fought with Shiva
Then he fought a battle with Rudra (Shiva), the king of ghosts, who bestowed a boon on him.2.
Then Duryodhana was freed (from bonds).
Then he redeemed Duryodhana and burnt the king of Gandharavas in the fire of the Khandav forest
The khandava bun was eaten (i.e. burnt) from the fire.
All these could not comprehend his secret.3.
If I tell the (whole) context of this story
My mind fears the enlargement of this Granth (Book) by relating all these stories,
So a little story has been told.
Therefore I have said it in brief and the poets will themselves improves my mistakes.4.
Having conquered the Kauravas, wrested (from them) all the settlements,
He conquered all the places, where several proud Kauravas lived
Then Sri Krishna was pleased
He pleased Krishna and obtained the certificate of victory from him.5.
(Then) killed Bhishma ('Gangeva') and Karna ('Bhanuj').
He killed Bhishma, the son of Ganga and Karan, the son of Surya after fighting a dreadful war with them
Defeated the mighty warrior Duryodhana
