Drupada (censuring Duryodhana) (placing the Pārthas at his head) & Drona (then 85 years of age, with white locks, but behaving like a youth of 16) (VII, 125). Yudhiṣṭhira was aoxious at not having obtained any intelligence of Arjuna and Sātyaki, and thought of sending Bhīma after Sātyaki, asking him to send him a message by a leonine roar (VII, 126). Bhīma requested Dhṛṣṭadyumna to protect Yudhiṣṭhira, and prepared to set out (description) after Sātyaki and Arjuna; the fierce blasts of Pāñcajanya were heard, filling Yudhiṣṭhira with fear. Bhīma (with his charioteer Viçoka) broke through the head of the Kuru array; the Pāñcālas and Somakas followed him behind; the brothers Duḥçala, etc. (νν), (with celestial weapons) he passed, and rushed against Drona's division; Drona & Bhīmasena; Bhīma's mace pressed Drona's chariot down into the earth; Drona, who had previously alighted, was saved; Bhīma slew eleven sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra: Kuṇḍabhedin, etc. (ξξ); Dhṛtarāṣṭra's sons and the soldiers fled away.

Bhīma & Drona; Bhīma passing through the Bhoja, etc. (οο), division and beholding Sātyaki, proceeded with great speed and sighted Arjuna, to whom he made his presence known by a roar; Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa uttered loud roars in return; ### [c5.s6.326.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.326.2) 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). ### [c5.s6.326.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.326.3) Continuation of the battle between Karṇa and Bhīma, who recollected the woes in Virāṭa's city, etc. (σσ). Bhīma's horses of the hne of bears and Karṇa's of the hue of swans mingled together; Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna became anxious for Bhīma; a great carnage took place (VII, 132). Dhṛtarāṣṭra's eulogy on Bhīma (ττ); Karṇa was capable of eneonntering D., as, and men. Sañjaya continued: Bhīma again deprived Karṇa of his steeds and driver.

Dhṛtarāṣṭra's observations on Bhīma's victory over Karna (vv); "I think Destiny reigns supreme." Sañjaya called Dhṛtarāṣṭra "the root of this destruction of the world"; then he related: five brothers of Duryodhana (φφ) + Karna & Bhīmasena, who slew the five brothers, resisting Karna the while (VII, 135). Karna became despondent of his life; Bhīma again deprived Karna of his steeds, driver, and bow; Karna once more fled on foot; Duryodhana dispatched other brothers of his against Bhīma, who slew them all (χχ). Karna wept, recollecting the words of Vidura; then, riding upon another chariot he encountered Bhīma (description), who gladdened Arjuna, etc. (ψψ) (VII, 136). ### [c5.s6.326.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.326.4) Karna sorrowfully surveyed the slain brothers of Duryodhana, and was hard pressed by Bhīma, who was applauded by Cā., Bhūriśravas, etc. (ωω): Duryodhana dispatched seven of his brothers to the rescue of Karna; they were all slain by Bhīma (aaa); Bhīma lamented the death of Vikarna, who was dear to him. Then he with a shout gladdened Yudhishṭhira, who rushed against Droṇa. Beholding the slaughter of thirty-one of his brothers by Bhīma, Duryodhana recollected the words of Vidura (βββ) (VII, 137). Bhīma & Karna; a great carnage was caused by both (Sindhus, Sauviras, Kauravas); Cā. and Si. were amazed (VII, 138). Continuation: D-r., Si., G., and Vd. applauded the two combatants.

Arjuna then forced Karna to fly, and speeded a terrible shaft after him when he was retreating, which was cut off by Aṣvatthāman, whom Arjuna then forced to flee away (VII, 139). Dhṛtarāṣṭra lamented (γγγ). ### [c5.s6.326.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.326.5) Sāñjaya related: Sātyaki followed Bhīma; Alambusha (rājavaro, v. †5828) & Sātyaki, who slew him (!), and then proceeded, with his steeds of the Sindhu breed, towards Arjuna; Duḥśāsana and the Dhārtarāṣṭras & Sātyaki, who slew the steeds of Duḥśāsana, gladdening Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa (VII, 140). Fifty Trigarta princes & Sātyaki, who made them flee away, and then, passing through the Cārasenas and Kaliṅgas, approached Arjuna, and was eulogized (δδδ) by Kṛṣṇa. Arjuna was not pleased with the arrival of Sātyaki on account of his anxiety for Yudhishṭhira (eee) (VII, 141). Bhūriśravas & Sātyaki; they mutually addressed (ζζζ) and challenged each other, whereafter the fight began; each deprived the other of his chariot, then they fought with swords, then with fists and hands (descriptions); Kṛṣṇa urged Arjuna to protect the tired Sātyaki against Bhūriśravas, who was fresh; Sātyaki succumbed to Bhūriśravas; Arjuna cut off one of the arms of Bhūriśravas (VII, 142).

Though forbidden by Kṛṣṇa, etc. (κκκ), Sātyaki slew Bhūriśravas sitting in prāya. The warriors did not applaud Sātyaki; Si., Cā., men, and D. applauded Bhūriśravas; the soldiers thought that it had been ordained by the Creator that it should be so. ### [c5.s6.326.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.326.6) Sātyaki justified his conduct (λλλ), quoting Vālmīki (VII, 143). Dhṛtarāṣṭra asked Sātyaki how Sātyaki could be humiliated by Bhūriśravas. Sañjaya related the history of Cini (e) and of Somadatta, and praised the Vṛṣṇi heroes, vanquishers of the very D., Dā., G., As., Y., U., and Rā. (VII, 144). Arjuna proceeded to Jayadratha's chariot.

Arjuna employed the Aindra weapon, etc. (description). Arjuna & Jayadratha (+ ooo); Arjuna cut off Jayadratha's standard and slew his driver; Jayadratha was placed by six chariot warriors in their midst. Kṛṣṇa covered the sun by means of his yoga power, so that all, except Arjuna, thought the sun to have set, and he urged Arjuna to cut off Jayadratha's head without delay; Arjuna caused such a carnage that the warriors abandoned Jayadratha in fear and fled away; Kṛṣṇa again urged Arjuna to cut off Jayadratha's head without delay, telling him of Jayadratha's father Vṛddhakshatra (g), who was still engaged in penances outside Samantapañcaka; ### [c5.s6.326.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.326.7) Arjuna should make the head fall upon the lap of Vṛddhakshatra himself, lest his own head should crack in 100 pieces; this Arjuna did, and as the head fell down from Vṛddhakshatra's lap the latter's head split into 100 pieces. Kṛṣṇa then withdrew the darkness created by him; Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna blew their conches, and Bhīma, by a tremendous shout, communicated to Yudhishṭhira the message of victory.

Kṛṣṇa told Arjuna to avoid Karna because the latter had yet the lance that Indra had given him. Karna & Sātyaki (upon Kṛṣṇa's chariot with Dāruka and the horses Ṡaibya, etc. (ppp), Kṛṣṇa having known before the encounter that Sātyaki would be deprived of his chariot by Bhūriśravas, and having therefore ordered Dāruka to let his chariot be equipped the next day, and now calling Dāruka by blowing his conch in the Ṛṣabha note; neither D., G., Y., U., Rā., nor men could conquer the two Kṛṣṇas; D. with Brahmān and Si. knew their prowess); Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujas (abandoning Arjuna's chariot) & Karna; such a battle had never been heard of even between D., G., As., U., or Rā.; D., G., and Dā. looked at; Sātyaki slew Karna's charioteer and steeds.

Sātyaki did not slay the Dhārtarāṣṭras (Duḥśāsana, etc.) on account of the vow of Bhīmasena. Aṣvatthāman, Kṛtavarman, etc., were all vanquished by Sātyaki with only one bow; "in this world there are only three mighty bowmen: Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna, and Sātyaki," said Sañjaya. The younger brother of Dāruka soon brought another chariot (description) to Sātyaki; Sātyaki ascended it, and Dāruka went to Kṛṣṇa. A new chariot was brought for Karna also. Sañjaya told Dhṛtarāṣṭra that thirty-one of his sons had been slain by Bhīmasena, etc. (777) (VII, 147). Insulted by Karṇa, Bhīma addressed Arjuna in order to induce the latter to permit him to slay Karṇa; Arjuna rebuked Karṇa (vvv), and vowed to slay his son Vṛṣasena in his presence. Kṛṣṇa congratulated Arjuna (φφ), who attributed the victory to Kṛṣṇa; Kṛṣṇa pointed out to Arjuna the results of that day's battle; then he blew Pāñcajanya and went and informed Yudhiṣṭhira (VII, 148). Kṛṣṇa congratulated Yudhiṣṭhira, who attributed the success to Kṛṣṇa's grace (xxx); Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna once more congratulated him (ψψψ); then Bhīma and Sātyaki, whom Yudhiṣṭhira congratulated and embraced (VII, 149).
