the Kuru army: some followed Droṇa, others Duryodhana; a fierce battle took place on the southern side between Arjuna and the Kurus. The Pāṇḍavas regretted that Arjuna was engaged on the southern part of the field in slaughtering the Saṃcaptakas and the Nārāyaṇa force. Having slain the Saṃcaptakas, Arjuna fought with Droṇa, etc., employing the Āgneya weapon; A. slew three of Karṇa's brothers (ηη). At sunset the armies retired.—§ 593 (Abhimanyuvadhap.), VII, 33-51: THIRTEENTH DAY: 33, 1456, 1466, 1468; 35, 1520, 1521; 36, 1545; 40, 1661; 45, 1824; 51, 1989, 1991: Being overcome by A., and Droṇa having failed to seize Yudhiṣṭhira, the Kurus were regarded as defeated; they heard everybody praise A. and Kṛṣṇa. Next morning Duryodhana blamed Droṇa for not having seized Yudhiṣṭhira; Droṇa said that nobody could defeat the force protected by Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa, save Mahādeva. The Saṃcaptakas challenged Arjuna and took him away to the southern side of the field. The Pāṇḍavas were headed by Bhīmasena. Abhimanyu defeated all the warriors that encountered him with the weapons he had received from Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa. At last Abhimanyu was slain by Duḥçāsana's son, after Jayadratha had checked those who tried to follow Abhimanyu.—§ 595 (do.), VII, 71, 2465: Vyāsa consoled Yudhiṣṭhira, who became free from grief; but "what shall we say to Arjuna?"—§ 596 (Pratijñāp.), VII, 72-81: 72, 2485, 2537, 2562, 2563; 73, 2581, 2610; 74, 2636, 2637; 75, 2666, 2667, 2672; 76, (2679), 2704; 77, 2716;
