# The Mahabharata/Book 1: Adi Parva/Section LVII

Section LVII. ( Astika Parva continued. )
Saunaka said, "O son of Suta, I desire to hear the names of all those snakes that fell into the fire of this snake-sacrifice."
Sauti replied, "Many thousands and tens of thousands and Arbudas (of snakes fell into the fire.) O excellent of Brahmanas, so great is the number that I am unable to count them all. As far, however, as I remember, hear thou the names I mention of the principal snakes cast into the fire. Hear first the names of the principal ones of Vasuki's race alone, of color blue, red, and white, terrible in form, and of body huge, and of dreadful poison.
"Kotisha, Manasa, Purna, Shala, Pala, Halimaka; Pitchchala, Kaunapa, Chakra, Kalavega, Prokalana; Hiranya-bahu, Sharana, Kakshaka, Kala-dantaka. These snakes, born of Vasuki, fell into the fire. And, O Brahmana, numerous other snakes born of the same race, of terrible form and great strength, were burnt in the blazing fire. I shall now mention those born in the race of Takshaka. Hear thou their names! Puchchandaka, Mandalaka, Pinda-sekta, Ravenaka; Uchchikha, Sharava, Vanga, Vilwa-teja, Virohana; Shili, Shali, Kara, Muka, Sukumara, Pravepana; Mudgara ard Shishu-roma, and Suroma and Moha-hanu. These snakes born of Takshaka fell into the fire. And Paravata, Parijata, Pandara, Harina, Krisha; Vihanga, Sharava, Meda, Pramoda, Sanha-tapana. These born in the race of Airavata fell into the fire. Now hear, O best of Brahmanas, the snakes I mention born of the race of Kauravya! Eraka, Kundala Veni, Veni-skandha, Kumaraka; Vahuka, Sringa-vera, Dhurtaka, Prata and Ataka. These born in the race of Kauravya fell into the fire. Now hear the names I mention, in order, of those snakes endued with the speed of the wind and with virulent poison, born in the race of Dhritarashtra. Shanku-karna, Pitharaka, Kuthara, Sukha-shechaka; Purnangada, Purna-mukha, Prahasa, Shakuni, Dari; Ama-hatha, Kamathaka, Sushena, Manasa, Avya; Vairava, Munda-vedanga, Pishanga, Udraparaka; Rishava, the snake Begavana, Pindaraka, Maha-hanu; Raktanga, Sarva-saranga, Samridha, Pa​tha-vasaka; Varahaka, Viranaka, Suchitra, Chitra-vegika, Parashara, Tarunaka, Mani-skandha, and Aruni.
"O Brahmana, thus I have recited the names of the principal snakes known widely for their achievements! I have not been able to name all, the number being countless. The sons of these snakes, the sons of those sons, that were all burnt, having fallen into the fire, I am unable to mention. They are so many! Some of three heads, some of seven, others of ten, of poison like unto the fire at the end of the yuga, and terrible in form, were burnt by thousands!
"Many others, of huge bodies, of great speed, tall as mountain summits, of the length of a yama, a yojana, and of two yojanas, capable of assuming at will any form and of mustering at will any degree of strength, of poison like unto blazing fire, afflicted by the curse of a mother, were burnt in that great sacrifice!"
And so ends the fifty-seventh Section in the Astika of the Adi Parva.
# The Long Island Rail Road: A Comprehensive History, Part Two: The Flushing, North Shore & Central Railroad/Preface

Preface
Volume I of the Long Island Rail Road history presented the story of the South Side Railroad, one of the Long Island's early competitors. Volume II presented here tells the interesting story of the other great competitor that the Long Island faced in the post-Civil War period: the Flushing, North Shore & Central Railroad. As the title implies, this railroad was essentially a union of three originally separate roads; its history, in effect, is the story of the railroads that radiated from two centers: Flushing and Garden City.
As in the case of the South Side Railroad, almost no original sources relating to the Flushing roads or to the Central Railroad have come down to us; successive warehouse fires and the disinterest on the part of officialdom have effectively destroyed the records of an earlier day. It has been necessary, therefore, to rely on the contemporary newspapers of the island for a detailed account of the road. All the newspapers in the area served by the Flushing, North Shore & Central Railroad have been searched to make this story as complete as possible. These include: {{normal|Flushing Journal,} 1850–1880; Flushing Times, 1873–1884; {{normal|Long Island Farmer} (Jamaica), 1865–1871; Long Island Democrat (Jamaica), 1865–1882; Newtown Register (Elmhurst), 1873–1882; Hempstead Inquirer, 1870–1880; South Side Signal (Babylon), iB69–1880; Long Island Headlight (Farmingdale), 1873–1875; Long Island Leader (Port Jefferson), 1873–1876.
Although accounts of the Flushing & North Side Railroad and the Central Railroad have appeared from time to time, it has been possible to present here a much fuller and more detailed picture, thanks to the large amount of new material uncovered in the little-known country press of that day. The original Flushing Railroad and the North Shore Railroad have never been researched before to the writer's knowledge, and the account presented here is the first to tell the full story of these pioneer roads.
The author is indebted to Mr. Harold Fagerberg of Babylon and to Mr. Harold L. Goldsmith of Woodside for photographs of rolling stock and stations; to Mr. Jeffrey Winslow for layout and arrangement of the pictures and maps; to Mr. Felix ReifSchneiderfor his unfailing counsel and encouragement, and for arranging the publication of the book; ​finally, to the Long Island Historical Society for making available its extensive newspaper collection.
Volume III, covering the history of the Long Island Rail Road proper from the end of the Civil War to 1880, is now in preparation.

# The Lucknow Album/Bebeapore ki Kothe

BEBEAPORE KI KOTHE.
View No. 3.
At a spot, a few miles eastward of the city, stand the ruins of the old palace of Bebeapore. Newab Ausuf-ood-dowlah, the first of the Newabs who made Lucknow the capital, built this palace as a country residence, and enclosed a park, in which an immensity of small game was preserved. Whenever a change of residents, or political agents, to the King's Court, took place, the new arrival always had this palace placed at his disposal, until he should be conducted in state to the Residency in the city. It was from here that went forth the memorable decree of the Government of India for the deposition of Wuzeer Ali, the adopted son and heir of Ausuf-ood-dowlah. Wuzeer Ali was subsequently removed to Benares, where he became notorious as the murderer of Mr. Cherry, the Governor-General's Agent. It was here also that Lord Teignmouth held a grand Durbar, the object of which was, to obtain the enthronement of Newab Saadut Ali Khan, in succession to Wuzeer Ali. The object was attained, and the reign of Saadut Ali Khan proved eminently successful.
The palace might still be so far repaired as to be inhabitable, but there does not, at present, appear to be any special way in which it could be utilized. The park is utterly neglected, and is now infested with wild animals.
# The Lucknow Album/Darul Shaffa

DARUL SHAFFA.
View No. 8.
This house, as its name implies, is a Hospital or Dispensary, which was built by Newab Saadut Ali Khan, and ​was intended for the reception of the indigent sick, but was never used for that purpose. It is said that some of the ladies of the Oudh Court, having conceived a fancy, obtained possession, and made use of it as a place affording retirement, where they could hold occasional merry-makings in secret. The house has been thoroughly renovated, and is now the residence of the Secretary to the Chief Commissioner, and may be considered one of the most enviable residences in Lucknow.
Immediately on the right commences a long range of buildings, the whole together known as the Begum Kothi. In the days of the King, these comprised the palace of the Queen mother of Oudh. After the departure of Her Majesty to Europe, in 1856, the buildings remained occupied, strictly as a zenana enclosure, by members of the Queen's household; but, during the mutiny, the rebels took possession and garrisoned them. On the reoccupation of Lucknow by the British, they each had to be taken by storm. The high wall was levelled, and the several fine buildings, which were hidden from view, have been converted into handsome shops and public offices. The first is, the shop of Messrs. Nowrjee and Company; the next is the extensive printing establishment of Moonshee Newul Kishore; a press that, from the large quantity of work carried on, is, in all probability, the largest in India. Next is the shop of Messrs. Cursetjee's sons, and adjoining is the Government Post Office, formerly an Imam-barra, or mausoleum; it is reported that in this building the late Post Master, Mr. Mackenzie, discovered a quantity of hidden treasure. The next conspicuous object is Mr. Joseph Paton's celebrated clock-tower: it contains no clock, because a portion of the machinery was stolen, and as the building has since passed into other hands, the empty tower remains to mark the memory of the builder.

# The Lucknow Album/Dilkoosha

​We next come to the—
DILKOOSHA.
View No. 5.
This magnificent hunting-box, or country-seat, was built by Saadut Ali Khan. He cleared away the dense jungle surrounding it, and converted the grounds into an immense, well-arranged park, which he stocked with deer and other game, and further so beautifully ornamented the place, that it became the favourite resort of the ladies of the court during the summer months.
During the siege of the Bailie Guard, in 1857, the Dilkoosha was held, in great force, by the enemy, but on the 14th November it was captured by Sir Colin Campbell, when he advanced to the relief of the beleaguered Garrison.
After the formation of the new Cantonment, at Mahomed Bagh, the Dilkoosha was made a residence for the General commanding the Division, and remained so for years; but it ​has lately been dismantled, and although it is built on an eminence, nothing can now be seen of the once noble edifice, but its bare massive walls and castellated stair-cases. It was on the western slope of the approach to this building, that the rescued Garrison of the Bailie Guard bivouacked, on the night of the 30th November, and attempted to rest their weary limbs, while prevented from sleeping by the tremendous cannonading kept up by the enemy.
Not far from this spot, to the northward, is that grand and noble pile of buildings known as—
LA MARTINIERE.
