(11) Bhīma attacked Bhānumat (the prince of the Kalingas), and slew him with his sword, dividing him in the middle, and made a great slaughter of men and elephants. (12) Beholding Çrutāyus (the ruler of the Kalingas) at the head of the Kalinga troops, Bhīmasena attacked him, was wounded, and taken into his chariot by the charioteer Açoka; once more he fought with Çrutāyus, and slew him, and Satyadeva, and Satya, and Ketumat, and routed the Kalingas. (13) When, however, the Kalingas were rallied again, Dhrshṭadyumna, with Çikhaṇḍin, Yudhishṭhira, etc., protected one of the wings of Bhīmasena; there was nobody on earth, save Bhīma and Sātyaki, who was dearer to Dhrshṭadyumna than his very life; they beheld Sātyaki at a distance; and that \[grand\]son of Çini took up the wing of both Bhīma and Dhrshṭadyumna; Bhīma caused a bloody river to flow there. (14) Bhīshma heard the cries, attacked Bhīma, and was attacked by Sātyaki, etc. (ι). Bhīshma jumped from his chariot, mace in hand, and was taken by Dhrshṭadyumna on his chariot. Sātyaki slew the charioteer of Bhīshma, who was then carried away from the field of battle by his steeds. The Kalingas were totally routed by Bhīma, who was praised by the Pāñcālas and Matsyas, himself embraced Dhrshṭadyumna, and was congratulated by Sātyaki, who returned to his own chariot and began to slay the Kurus (VI, 54). ### [c5.s2.388.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s2.388.2) (15) When the forenoon of that day had passed away, Dhrshṭadyumna engaged in battle with Açvatthāman, etc. (κ); he slew the steeds of Açvatthāman, who got up on Çalya's car. (16) Abhimanyu quickly came up and wounded Çalya, etc. (λ), but was, in his turn, wounded by Açvatthāman, etc. (μ). (17) Lakshmaṇa (the son of Duryodhana) attacked Abhimanyu. (18) Duryodhana attacked Abhimanyu in order to aid Lakshmaṇa. (19) Arjuna engaged in battle with the Kurus, headed by Bhīshma and Droṇa; dust and Abhimanyu's arrows produced complete darkness. The Kurus were routed. Arjuna and Kṛshṇa blew their conches. Bhīshma suggested to Droṇa that they should withdraw the troops, and as the sun set both armies were withdrawn (VI, 55).—§ 580: THIRD DAY: (1) Next morning Bhīshma formed a Garuḍa array; at its beak was Bhīshma himself; its eyes were formed by Droṇa and Kṛtavarman; Açvatthāman, etc. (α), were at its head; Bhūriçravas, etc. (β), were placed in its neck; at its back was Duryodhana and his followers; Vinda, etc. (γ), formed its tail; the Magadhas, etc. (δ), formed the right wing; the Kūrashas, etc. (ε), were stationed in the left wing. (2) Arjuna and Dhrshṭadyumna formed an array in the shape of a half-moon, with Bhīmasena in the right horn, etc. (ζ); next to Nīla Dhrshṭaketu, etc. (η); in the middle was Dhrshṭadyumna, etc. (θ); on the left horn was he who had Kṛshṇa for his protector. Then the battle commenced (VI, 56). ### [c5.s2.388.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s2.388.3) (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. ### [c5.s2.388.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.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.

The Kurus, including Bhīṣma, etc. (ο), got afraid of the Indra-weapon, and withdrew their forces at sunset. The same did Arjuna. Among the Kurus there was a great uproar: "The Sauviras, etc. (π), have all been slain by Arjuna, and he has vanquished Cṛutāyus, etc. (ρ)" (VI, 59). — § 581: THE FOURTH DAY: (1) When the night had passed away, Bhīṣma at the head of the army proceeded against the foe, surrounded by Droṇa, etc. (α). The array of the Pāṇḍavas was like that of the day before. Bhīṣma (β) attacked Arjuna, and so did Droṇa, etc. (β); Abhimanyu rushed out of the ranks and proceeded against all the foes, but Bhīṣma avoided Abhimanyu and fought against Arjuna himself (VI, 60).
