c5.s2.388.4

Bhīṣma said that the Pāṇḍavas were incapable of being vanquished by the very gods, including Indra, but he alone would check them to-day (VI, 58). (10) After the forenoon of that day had passed away, Bhīṣma attacked the Pāṇḍavas, and a dreadful battle ensued, in which the Pāṇḍavas were routed. Kṛṣṇa told Arjuna to strike Bhīṣma, reminding him of his vow to slay all the warriors of Dhṛtarāṣṭra's son, headed by Bhīṣma and Droṇa. At the request of Arjuna, Kṛṣṇa drove the steeds to where Bhīṣma was, and the army of Yudhiṣṭhira rallied for battle. Arjuna and Bhīṣma fought; Kṛṣṇa displayed great skill in driving the horses; he and Arjuna were both wounded by Bhīṣma, and the Pāṇḍava army was routed; Bhīṣma ordered Droṇa, etc. (μ), to attack Arjuna. (11) The grandson of Cini came to Arjuna's rescue; Kṛṣṇa applauded him, and, saying that he would slay Bhīṣma and Droṇa, etc., he jumped down from the chariot with his discus Sudarśana in his hand, and rushed towards Bhīṣma (who welcomed him), but was held back by Arjuna, who said that he would himself slay the Kurus; he was then prevailed upon to mount the chariot once more, where he blew the Pāñcajanya, while arrows were shot from the Gāṇḍīva in all directions. (12) Then Duryodhana, etc. (ν), attacked Arjuna, who invoked the Māhendra weapon and checked the Kaurava host. (13) Virāṭa, Drupadā, etc., approached. Arjuna caused a river of blood to flow there with Rākṣasas on its banks. Elated with victory, the Cedis, etc.
