(3) Arjuna fought with the Kauravas, who could not be broken, as they were protected by Droṇa; and the Pāṇḍavas were not broken, as they were protected by Arjuna and Bhīma. At last Bhīshma, etc. (ι), broke the ranks of the Pāṇḍavas. Bhīmasena, etc. (κ), attacked the Kauravas and fought with Duryodhana, Bhīshma, and Droṇa; Abhimanyu and Sātyaki attacked Çakuni (VI, 57). D., Dā., G., Pç., U., and Rā. eulogized Arjuna. (4) The Gāndhāras, with Çakuni, fought with Sātyaki (the Vṛshṇi hero) and Abhimanyu, and destroyed the chariot of Sātyaki, who mounted Abhimanyu's chariot. (5) Droṇa and Bhīshma attacked Yudhishṭhira, and were attacked by him and the sons of Mādrī. (6) Bhīmasena and Ghaṭotkaca fought with Duryodhana, who was brought away by his charioteer, and his troops fled, pursued by Bhīma. (7) Dhṛṣṭadyumna and Yudhiṣṭhira slew Droṇa's and Bhīṣma's army, which fled and could not be checked by Bhīṣma and Droṇa. (8) Abhimanyu and Cāineya began to slaughter the army of Cākuṇi. (9) Arjuna routed the Kaurava army, and its flight could not be checked by Bhīṣma and Droṇa, but was checked by Duryodhana, who blamed Bhīṣma, saying that he did not sincerely fight with the Pāṇḍavas, otherwise his troops could not have been routed while Bhīṣma, etc. (λ), were alive; had he known this unwillingness of Bhīṣma to fight, he would have consulted Karṇa.
