Bhagadatta was Raja of Pragjyotisha Kingdom.He was extremely skilled in using elephants in warfare.Arjuna defeated Bhagadatta during time of Raja-suya yagya performed by Yudhishthira.He considered Pandavas as his enemies from that defeat.
Bhagadatta supported Kauravas in Kurushetra war & on 12th day he started killing Pandava’s army in huge numbers while mounted on his elephant Supratika.Bhima tried to fight & tried to injure Supratika while going underneath.Elephant almost crushed Bhima but he was able to escape.
Many Pandava warriors and elephants tried to stop Bhagadatta but in vain. Arjuna entered & with his arrows killed soldiers who were protecting Supratika’s legs. Fierce battle started between Arjuna& Bhagadatta.
