Drona parvamu...Dronas first day at war as cheif of army

Sanjaya went to the battlefield and stayed there for few days. He returned one night  and visited Dhrutharashtra.he started to tell him the happenings at the battlefield.Dronaachaaryudu was made the chief of army by Duryodhana.he was pleased by this guesture. He told Duryodhana like this.I am happy that you respected my in a fitting manner.you ask for a boon and I would give it.Duryodhana asked that dharmaraju be captured alive and handed to him.

Drona was confused as to the kings intentions. He questioned him.why are you asking this favor of me?do you want to hand over half of the kingdom to him?what is your idea behind your asking this particular favour?

To that,Duryodhana replied like this. If I kill Dharmaraju,Arjuna would not keep quiet. He would smash the entire Kourava armies,leaving none alive.even if we kill all the pandavas,krishna would see to it that we dont get hold of this kingdom.so,if we have Dharmaraju in our captivity, I can still be the king and rule this kingdom eternally.

To that Drona answered like this. If you can see that Arjuna is not there,I can control the entire army and capture dharmaraju alive.if Arjuna is there and faces me,I cant win over him.Duryodhana was happy to hear these words. 

Next day,,they formed sakata vyooham. Pandavas formed krouncha vyooham.while kouravas were marching for the battle field,without any clouds,it rained blood and bones.eagles rounded on their heads.foxes cried unceremoniously.but,kourava did not pay heed to these warnings.they came and clashed with pandava armies.the war between them was so grotesque and hair rising that even dieties were afraid to view it.Drona was at his best and was seen every where smashing the enemy armies.

Demons,Ghatothkacha and Alambusudu were doing war using their magical powers.war between Drupada and Bhagadattha was very interesting.many of the kourava kings attacked Abhimanyu,but they could not withstand his expertise.Drona came to attack Dharmaraju.Arjuna came there with lightning speed and attacked him.kourava army ran away.by evening both the grouos retorned to their camps.
