In MBH verse 7.23.43, as it can be seen from original Sanskrit text, the term Prabhadraka has been used as a qualifier before the Kambojas:
Yuktaih Paramakambojairjavanairhemamalibhih. :bhishayanto dvishatsainyan yama vaishravanopamah.||42||:prabhadrakastu kambojah shatsahasranyudayudhah. :nanavarnairhayashreshthairhemachitrarathadhvajah. ||43||:sharavratairvidhunvantah shatrunvitatakarmukah. :samanamrityavo bhutva dhrishtadyumnan samanvayuh.||44||:
(MBH Gorakhpore Rec., 7.23.42-44)
Hence in this context, the term Prabhadraka definitely implies adjective and not noun, and may not, therefore, be confused with the Prabhadraka clan. As an adjective, the term Prabhadraka/Prabhadrakastu means exceedingly handsome (Check up Prabhadraka in Monier-William Dictionary [1]). Researchers like Dr J. L. Kamboj, S Kirpal Singh etc have, therefore correctly taken the term Prabhadraka in the sense of an adjective rather than noun in the present context. Ganguli's translation is in error here. In fact, according to Sanskrit scholars, Ganguli's translation of MBH has numerous translations errors.
