Duryodhana sought Bhīshma in the night and gave expression to his grief at the success of the Pāṇḍavas; Bhīshma promised to do his best, at which Duryodhana was delighted (VI, 80).—§ 584: THE SEVENTH DAY: Bhīshma disposed his troops in a Maṇḍala array (description), protected by Bhīshma, who was again protected by Citrasena, etc.; Duryodhana looked like Cakra himself. Then the Dhārtarāshṭras began to proceed, facing the west. Yudhishṭhira disposed his troops in a Vajra array. (1) Droṇa & the Matsya king; Acvatthāman & Cikhaṇḍin; Duryodhana & Dhrishṭadyumna; Nakula and Sahadeva & the Madra king; Vinda and Anuvinda & Irāvat; many kings & Arjuna; Bhīmasena & Sātyaki; Citrasena & etc. (β) (sons of Dhṛtarāshṭra); Ghaṭotkaca & the Prāgjyotisha king; Alambusha & Sātyaki; Bhūriçravas & Dhrishṭaketu; Yudhishṭhira & king Çrutāyus; Cekitāna & Kṛpa. Others proceeded against Bhīma, and thousands against Arjuna, among others the Trigarta king with his brothers. D., D.-r., G., and U. wondered, beholding the two Kṛshṇas (i.e. Kṛshṇa and Arjuna). Arjuna invoked the Aindra weapon; the foes fled, but were rescued by Bhīshma (VI, 81). (2) After Suçarman had ceased fighting, and the Kuru army had been routed by Arjuna, and Bhīshma had proceeded against the chariot of Arjuna, Duryodhana exhorted the kings and Suçarman to protect Bhīshma, who resembled the planet Çukra (Venus) and was surrounded by the Trigartas.
