Drona in doubt

Drona observed Arjuna entering the warfield along with Uththara kumara.hewas in doubt as to the fact whether agnaathavaasa of Pandavas was completed or not in earnest.he turned towards Bheeshma and told so. arjuna must be a fool to come out into the open when their period of obscurity was not completed.Arjuna was nearing them on the pretext of reaching a tree. The way he was advancing reminded them of Indras valour.Bheeshma understood Dronas dilemma. He understood and realised that Pandavas agnaaathavaasam was over succesfully. That was why them come out into the open without any adeu.Drona was happy to note this point because he favored Pandavas though physically he was on the side of Kouravas.
Drona felt that there was no one in their army who could give a real fight to Arjuna and win.because they heard that Arjuna recieved acclaim for his valour from Siva himself.Karna did not like the way the elders were praising Pandavas and Arjuna in particular. He admonished them from talking .ike that.he boasted that he was enough to bend Arjuna to his tune in war and valour.

Duryodhana then intervened in their dialogue. He said if he were Arjuna, it meant that Pandavas did not complete their term of ambiguity succesfully. So again they had to undergo another twelve years of aranyavaasa and another year ofagnaathavaasa.if he was not Arjuna,they would kill the enemy in no time.though they did not like the ramblings of Karna and Arjuna,Drona and Bheeshma maintained their silence and laughed at their ignorance within.
