Third day of Drona as army chief

Drona formed padma vyooham on his third day as army chief.as it is circular,it is very difficult for the enemy to enter it and win.it is also called as chakra vyooham because of its circular shape.pandava army also reached the battle field but could not give a proper fight to dronas onslaught of arrows.pandava armies turned back.Dharmaraju was helpless and was afriad of the consequences of the war.no one could break this vyooham except Arjuna.he called abhimanyu and talked in this fashion.O my son!Sree krishna,Arjuna,,Pradyumna and you,only four of you know how to break and enter this vyooham.so,you have to start and do it and make us happy.Abhimanyu was happy that he was of some use to them. But he told like this.my father told me how to enter but did not tell me how to come out of this padmavyooham.but I will show you my calibre and will accept the challenge.pandava army followed Abhimanyu.
Drona and other warriors did fierce war against Abhimanyu,one after the other.Abhimanyu weakened Drona by his arrows and enetred padmavyooham effortlessly.Duryodhana and Drona ,both along with their armies fell on Abhimanyu.along with them,Krupaachaaryudu,aswathdhaama,kruthavarma,karna,sala,Somadaththa,sakuni pouravulu,salya vrushasenulu,all of them attacked abhimanyu at atime simultaneously.but Abhimanyu gave them stiff fight and injured all of tyem.no one could stand and fight with Abhimanyu.he was like a small anacutt which could control the mighty sea.his expertise outclassed that of sree krishna and Arjuna combined.Drona was very happy to see the son of his most liked disciple out class like this.
Dussaasana clamoured that he would kill  Abhimanyu and bring sorrow to Arjuna and krishna.they would die of grief and others cannot do anything.our vendetta would be fulfilled.
Saying so he attacked Abhimanyu.but he fell like adead person when arrows released by Abhimanyu touched his chin.his charioteer took him away from the battle field.
To help Abhimanyu ,Dharmaraju came behind and attcked kourava armies.kourava army broke up.Drona called for kourava warriors but no one came to their assistance.Saindhava blocked pandava armies and Dharmaraju from Abhimanyu.pandavas could not cross him and go near Abhimanyu.when pandavas were undergoing vanavaasam,Saindhava tried to molest Droupadi by taking her away.but pandavas stopped it in time and humiliated him by tonsuring his head.he was ashamed and did thapam . siva came to himand Saindhava asked him boon to give him power to defeat pandavas.siva declined that outright. But he told except Arjuna,he would give him power to defeat remaining four pandavas for one day.so,with that boon,he could control remaining foru pandavas that single day.sSAathyaki,Dharmaraju,Bheema,nakula and Sahadeva were fighting there only without any success.Drona and Kourava armies,though they countered him from all sides,could do nothing.
