Yudhiṣṭhira understood that all was safe, and thought of Arjuna's feats (ππ) (VII, 128). Karṇa & Bhīmasena; Karṇa mounted the chariot of Vṛṣasena; Bhīma uttered a loud roar that gratified Yudhiṣṭhira. Arjuna stretched Gāṇḍīva and Kṛṣṇa blew Pāñcajanya (VII, 129). Duryodhana saw Drona, and affectionately chided him for his hie having allowed Sātyaki and Bhīma to penetrate the Kuru host and approach to the aid of Arjuna. Drona counselled Duryodhana to make effective arrangements for the protection of Jayadratha. While going back towards Jayadratha, Duryodhana encountered the two brothers, the Pāñcāla princes, Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujas, the protectors of the wheels of Arjuna's chariot, who had formerly, while Arjuna penetrated the Kuru host, been checked in their progress by Kṛtavarman, and were now proceeding towards Arjuna hy the flank of the Kuru army. Uttamaujas ascended the chariot of Yudhāmanyu, which Duryodhana pressed down into the earth with his mace, and then Duryodhana ascended the chariot of the Madra king; Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujas, ascending two other chariots, proceeded towards Arjuna (VII, 130). Karṇa proceeded against Bhīma. Dhṛtarāṣṭra inquired about the battle (ρρ). Sañjaya related: Bhīma desired to avoid Karṇa and to proceed towards Arjuna; Karṇa insultingly challenged Bhīma, who turned back and encountered Karṇa; a fierce battle ensued between Bhīma and Karṇa, whom Bhīma deprived of his steeds and chariot. Karṇa mounted another chariot (VII, 131).
