At last Droṇa, having slain more than two akṣauhiṇīs, "proceeded hence to heaven" ("attained to the highest state") slain by Dhṛṣṭadyumna. D., P., etc., beheld him (VII, 8). Dhṛtarāṣṭra asked Sañjaya the particulars of Droṇa's heroism and slaughter (mentioning his knowledge of the Vedas; his ability to remove Meru; his equality to Bṛhaspati or Ućanas; his horses of the Sindhu breed, etc. (ι)) (VII, 9). Dhṛtarāṣṭra swooned away, and was restored to consciousness by the Bhārata ladies. Then he enquired of Sañjaya about Yudhiṣṭhira, etc. (κ), especially Yuyudhāna Sātyaki (β), and Dhṛṣṭaketu (ε), and Ketumat (δ); and the children of Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Kṣatrañjaya, etc. (λ), who, giving up all sports for twelve years, and observing excellent vows, waited upon Bhīṣma for the sake of weapons; and the five Kaikeya brothers (ε); and Yuyutsu (f), and Dhṛṣṭadyumna (g) (VII, 10). Dhṛtarāṣṭra recited the feats of Kṛṣṇa: the killing of Hayarāja, etc. (μ), that he had vanquished in battle the Aṅgas, etc. (ν), and that if Kṛṣṇa would summon them, Gada, etc. (ξ), would take up their position in the Pāṇḍava host; and regretted that Duryodhana did not know Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna; the destruction of the Kurus he attributed to himself or to Destiny (VII, 11).—§ 590: Sañjaya begins his narrative in detail. THE ELEVENTH DAY'S BATTLE: Duryodhana, having consulted with Karṇa and Duḥśāsana, etc., asked Droṇa to seize Yudhiṣṭhira alive.
