Sree Krishna and Arjuna visit Dharmaraju

On Duryodhanas instigation,Karna used Bhaargavaasthramon pandava armies.pANDAVA armies called Sree Krishna and Arjuna for their help.But Arjuna was tired and not in the mood to fight Karna. HE WANTED TO GO AWAY FROM THE WAR FIELD AND RESCUE HIMSELF.Sree Krishna observed Arjunas bent of mind at that time.Bheema,Saathyaki,Dhrushtadyumna and other warriors were inspiring Pandava armies to fight and were actively participating in the war.So,there was no real danger for the pandava armies.If Karna fights some more time with these people ,he would be still more exhausted.If Arjuna took rest for some more time, he could come back with renewed vigor and attack Karna in a better way.So,he told Arjuna to see Dharmaraju before fighting with Karna. Hearing that Dharmaraju was humiliated in war field,Arjuna felt very bad. He searched for his brother in the war field.He could not find Dharmarajus chariot.Then ,he went to Bheema and enquired about Dharmaraju.Bheema replied him that while he was fighting with Kourava armies,Karna had attcked Dharmaraju.Dharmaraju was injured and he could not stay in the field.So,probably he might have left.Arjuna also felt the same.He told his elder brother Bheema to go and enquire about Dharmarajus welfare. Till then,he would fight with the armies. To this Bheema gave negative answer. his explanation ran like this.Arjuna! if you leave the war field,no one would say that you ran away afraidor humiliated. But If I leave now,people would think I ran away. So,I would not leave the field now. You GO AND SEE DHARMARAJU.In the mean time,I would attack samsapthakas.Arjuna agreed to this.He asked Sree Krishna to go fast because he wanted to see his elder brother.Sree krishna told Bheema to fight and win the war .In the mean time ,they would go and find Dharmaraju.They reache dDharmarajus camp. There he was lying on a bed all alone .Arjuna and Sree Krishna saluted him with respect.

Dharmarajus flees from the war field

Arjuna defeated Samsapthakas and went to pandava armies which could not control Karna.He attacked Aswathdhaama with his powerful arrows.Samsapthakas again attacked Arjuna.Who ever was injured by Arjuna arrows,thought they were the only ones who received such painful arrows.Aswathdhaama too joined them and started the fight afresh with Arjuna.Many of the Samsapthakas were killed by Arjuna that day. Aswathdhaama attcked Dhrushtadyumna.He was angry that Dhrushtadyumna was the cause of his fathers death.Dhrushtadyumnas chariot was broken down by Aswathdhaama.Krishna observed this and instigated Arjuna to go and protect Dhrushtadyumna.Arjuna went and irritated Aswathdhaama with his arrows.Aswathdhaama was troubled to such an extent that he left Dhrushtadyumna and went away on his chariot.Dharmaraju could not give equal fight to Karna and asked his charioteer to take him away from the war field.But Kourava armies forestalled Dharmaraju.Bheema came to his rescueand fought with kourava armies. Salya warned Karna that Duryodhana was in the hands of Bheema and he might come to trouble.So,it was their foremost duty to protect Duryodhana immediately.Karna left Nakula,Sahadeva ,and Dharmaraju and went to Bheema to protect their king.Dharmaraju was ashamed by the turn events regarding him and went to his tent. He removed the arrows that were on his body and laid down on the bed with shame and helplessness.He told Nakula and Sahadeva to go to the warfield and help Bheema and they went away.Arjuna was fighting Arjuna ,but he was concerned about Dharmarajus safety.Dharmaraju was not to be seen in the field and his anxiety increased.

Karna massacres many pandava warriors

Karna regained consciousness and again fought with Bheema.Later Bheema went to attack kourava army with his gada.Karna followed Dharmaraju to fight with him.Again Bheema AND kARNA IVOLVED IN A SEVERE FIGHT.tHERE WAS GREAT LOSS OF ARMY,WARRIORS,HORSES AND ELEPHANTS ON both the sides. Duryodhana attacked Nakula and Sahadeva and they could not give him equal fight.Observing it,Dhrushtadyumna went to their help.ferocious war ensued between ,Duryodhana and Dhrushtadyumna.Dhrushtadyumna killed his charioteer,horses and broke his bow,chariot,flag mast and gada.Then Duryodhanas brother,Dandadhaarudu came to his rescue.He took him on to his chariot and took him away from the war field.Karna was fighting with Sathyaki at that time. But Karna went to fight with Dhrushtadyumna seeing Duryodhanas plight.But Saathyaki did not leave Karna but attacked him.War between both the army chiefs was ferocious and hair rising. Sons of Paanchaala,Vyaaghrakethu,Susarma,Sukla,Chithra,Ugraayudha,Jaya,Rochamaana and Simhasena attacked Karna collectively.Karna killed all of them.He killed Chedi warriors,Jishnu,Jishnusarma,Devaapi,Bhadradanda,Chithra,Chithraayudha,Hari,Simhakethu,Rochamaana,Salabha and other great warriors.Every one praised Karna that his valour was most marked and greater than Bheeshma and Dronas.Many warriors from Pandava army were attacking Karna. Bheema was killing Kourava army mercilessly.

Dharmaraju defeated by Karna

Aswathdhaama took oath that he would not leave his armature until he kills Dhrushtadyumna,the man who killed his father.Dhrushtadyumna,Saathyaki,Nakula,Sahadeva,Bheema,sons of Droupadi attacked Karna.Duryodhana ,along with his brother,came to Karnas rescue.Karna made Saathykai,and Dhrushtadyuman flee from war field.He attacked Dharmaraju.Blood oozed from the body of Dharmaraju.Karna attacked Saathyaki and Sikhandi and broke their chariots.Dharmaraju ran away from the war field driving his chariot,himself.Karna foolwed him and humiliated him like this.Dharmaraju!you are a king.You know what is right and what is wrong.How can you flee from war field and run away from your enemy?war is not fit job for you.If you attack people like me another time,you might face grave situation. so,go home.Otherwise,go TO kRISHNA AND Arjuna and save your self.I would not kill you.Remembering the word given to Kunthi devi,Karna left him.He started killing pandava armies.Dharmaraju was ashamed left that place with adown cast face. Karna then attacked Bheema.Bheema was angry that Karna humiliated his big brother.He told Sathyaki to protect Dharmaraju and started fighting Karna.Karna broke Bheemas bow and planted many arrows in his body. Bheema took another bow and attacked him fiercely.Karna fainted with the injuries and fell down like a dead man. Bheema went to Karna and wanted cut off his tongue because he humilated his brother. But Salya stopped him. he said that Karna just fainted and was not dead. if He cut his tongue ,he would die of heavy bleeding. then,Arjunas promise to kill him would become meaningless.Bheema abeyed his words and went from there.

Karnas second day at war

Next day ,pandavas reached the war filed with great enthusiasm. Dharmaraju prepared Durjaya vyooham on Bruhaspathis advise.Kourava armies were waiting for Karna to enter the war field.Duryodhana started coming with Karna and his other brothers.Then Karna brought his chariot to Duryodhana and told himhis piece of mind.Duryodhana!there are many incidents where Arjuna and myself fought ferociously. But Arjuna gained an upper hand because he had Sree Krishna as his charioteer. But Salya,who is on our side is equal to Krishna in this field.So make Salya ,my charioteer. then I would definitely win this war.Not only Pandavas,but even deities I am sure to win over. Duryodhana agreed to make Salya his charioteer and went to Salya. He saluted him and praised him in many ways.At last,he told him to be charioteer of Karna. Then only,they could win this war.Salya got angry hearing these words.He houted . Duryodhana!I am a king. How can you ask me to be a charioteer to a low caste person like Karna? I would participate no more in this war. I am going to my kingdom.You ill treated me by asking such a favor. Duryodhana pleaded with him and convinced him at last.Salya agreed in the end,but on one condition.whatever he talks or comments in the war field,Karna should not retaliate or show his unpleasantness to him.Karna agreed to this condition. there was no other way to him.Karna said that He was going to win over pandavas that day. to this remark,Salya commented in a derogatory manner.Karna could not say anything. at that time,blood rained in kouravas army with thunders.many such bad omens appeared.

Karnas first day as army chief

Karna attacked pandava army releasing arrows continuously.Nakula gave him stiff fight.but in the end,Karna broke his bow and chariot.Karna told Nakula in derogatory manner,never to attack a warrior who is mightier than himself.Karna remembered the words given to Kunthee devi that he would not kill pandavas except Arjuna and released him.He told him to go to Arjuna and protect himself. Nakula was humiliated ,but calmly went and alighted Dharmarajus chariot and saved himself. Then ,Karna attacked Paanchaala army.Yuyuthsudu attacked Ulookudu,Sakunis son ,but could not contain him.he ran away.Ulookudu ,then attacked paanchaala army.Samsapthakulu,Sibi,Saalva,Thrigartha,Naarayana,Gopaaluru fought with Arjuna,all combined.Sathyasenudu attacked Sree Krishna and made him lose control over reins of his chariot and horses.Arjuna killed him.He killed Mithra varma also. Then he used his Indraasthram,which released so many arrows at kourava army,which demolished the enemy mercilessly.With its effect,Samsapthakulu got shattered and fled. Duryodhana entered into fight with Dharmaraju but could not gain an upper hand.Arjuna controlled Karnas attack by releasing arrows which controlled his celestial and powerful arms.Pandava armies fought with kourava armies with renewed vigor. It was evening and both sides went to their respective tents.

Karna parvamu

Vaisampaayana described the Mahaa Bhaaratha story to Janamejaya king like this.Sanjaya left Kurukshethra and went to Dhrutharashtra.HE saluted Dhrutharashtra and told him the latest developments in the war field.After Dronas demise,Aswthdhaama fought the war. But, when Naarayana asthra of him failed he stopped participating in the war.Duryodhana counselled his people. He asked Aswathdhaama ,regarding what they had to do next.Aswthdhaama told him to continue his trilas to win the war.May be they might succeed.Karna is an able warrior. he has many powerful arms and weapons with him,which were given by gods.So,he might be your trump card in winning the war.Duryodhana was happy to hear those words. HE MADE Karna ,the chief of army officially. Next day. kourava armies entered war field with grea enthusiasm.Karna formed makara vyooham with his army. Seeing that ,Pandavas made ardhachandra vyooham.Dharma raju told Arjuna like this.Karna is the army chief now.He is the sole cause of our difficulties. so,kill him with your arrows.If you kill him,victory wouldbe ours.So,make it happen.Both the armies participated actively in war.Saathyaki,Dhrushtadyumnudu,Chekithaanudu,sons of Droupadi attacked Prabhadra,Kachedi,Paandya,Chola,Magadha,and Vanga countries armies.Bheema attacked kourava armies sitting on an elephant.Kulootha king,Kshemdhoorthi,attacked Bheemasena.Bheema killed him.Pandava armies fought showing all their might.

Vyaasa comes to Aswathdhaama and Arjuna

Paanchaala armies and Pandava armies were running away from warfield. they were afraid to face the wrath of Aswathdhaama.Arjuna attacked Aswathdhaama.Aswathdhaama released Aagneyaastram.because of that asthra ,entire akshouhini army was destroyed.Then Arjuna used his Brahmaasthram which cancelled all other asthras.With its effect,Aswathdhaama s asthra became inactive.Aswathdhaama was unhappy with these dvelopments. he put away his bow,got down from his chariot,and went far away from the war field. Vyaasa maharshi stood before Aswathdhaama.Aswathdhaama prayed him with respect and told him that aagneyaasthram became ineffective.Then Vyaasa told him like this. in your earlier life ,you prayed Lord Siva using the idol made of soil. But Naranaaraayana..ie Sree Krishna and Arjuna prayed Parameswara in the form of Linga.How can you ,an idol worshipper,win over them who are lingaarchakaas? By that time,it was evening.both the armies went to their tents to take rest.Veda Vyaasa Maharshi came to Arjuna.Arjuna fell over his feet and showed his reverence to him.He too had a doubt to be clarified. he asked him.O great sage!while I was fighting in the war,a great person was standing before and killing the enemies.My arrows were sinking into them later.Prople are thinking that my enemies were dying because of my arrows,while in reality another was attcking them.I want to know ,who that great man is. Vyaasa Maharshi then told him that he was none other than Lord Shiva.He told him many such stories of Lord Shiva to Arjuna.Sanjaya told these things to Dhrutharashtra.

Aswathdhaama angered by Dhrushtadyumnas act

Aswathdhaama did not the reason why their armies were fleeing.he came to Duryodhana and enquired him .Duryodhana told him that taking the excuse of killing an elephant ,by the Aswathdhaama,Dharmaraju told thatAswathdhaama was killed. when Drona left his arms not to participate in the war,Dhrushtadyumna beheaded him.may be that the advise might have been given by Sree Krishna. Aswathdhaama felt very much for this type of death in the hands of a cheap person. he felt dying in the war was OK. BUT THE way he was killed angered Aswathdhaam.he felt that Dharmaraju was the sole cause of this entire episode.He wanted to punish him aptly for his mistake.he swore that he would demolish all the pandavas by his divyaasthraas.he got ready to use it. kouravas were enthusiastic and attacked Pandava armies. Dhrushtadyumna said that he was born to kill Drona.why every one is attacking me and finding fault with me?Arjuna looked at Dhrushtadyumna seriously and told him to stop his meaningless talk.SreeKrishna and Dharmaraju were aghast by his careless talk.Saathyaki got angry and scolded Dhrushtadyumna.dhrushtadyumna and Sikhandi brought shame to Pandavas by their mean acts.Then Dhrushtadyumna commented that Sathyaki too killed Bhoorisravudu in cheap manner. so,if he again commented in derogatory manner,he was sure to kill Saathyaki.Saathyaki got down from his chariot and On Sree Krishnas directions Bheema intervened and took him away from that place. Dhrushtadyumna asked Bheema to stop trying to to stall Saathyaki. he was the apt person to do it. he was not aged and one handed Bhoorisravudu to be killed by Sathyaki.In the mean time Kourava armies attacked Pandava armies with the assistance of Aswathdhaama.Aswathdhaama released mandala,ardhachandra,bhalla,naaraacha and similar powerful arrows at pandava armies. Arjuna stood standstill to the fire releasing arrows and told his armies to run away from its way. Sree Krishna told the entire army and the warriors to release their bows and arrows on to the ground and lie down. because that powerful arrow would harm common people .every one left their arms and lied down on the ground.Bheema refused to do so. then Arjuna and Sree Krishna left their arms and ran to Bheema and made him leave his arms and made him lie on the ground.Because of this way out,Naarayanaasthram released by Aswathdhaama became useless.Aswathdhaama then fought with Dhrushtadyumna.

fifth day of Dronas captaincy...Dronas assasination

On the fifth day ,Drona attacked Pandava armies in such a fashion that they were all running away from the war field.He killed Drupadas grandsons,Kekaya kings,Drupada and Virata kings. as soon as sun rose in the East,both sides completed their morning chores and started the fight. Fight between Drona and Arjuna was hair raising.Drona released celestial and powerful arrows and they were equally nullified by Arjuna.Then Drona started attacking pandava armies and Arjuna attacked kourava armies.it was midafternoon.Sree Krishna observed the entire scene.Sree Krishna told to Pandavas that they can not win in that state. unless,Drona stops participating in the war,they had no chances of winning.If any one among them told him that his son,Aswathdhaam was killed in the war,then he would stop fighting.then,it would be easy for them to kill him.Every one accepted the idea except Arjuna.Dharmaraju was sorry for this turn of events. then ,Bheema reached Drona and told aloud that he killed Aswathdhaama and told elephant in a low voice. it was the truth because ,he had killed an elephant named Aswathdhaama earlier that day.Drona was aghast hearing this news. At that time,great sages like Viswamithra,Bharadhwaaja and others came and told him like this. you are a Brahmin.You fought till now. It is enough.your time is up.Stop this war and be peaceful. saying these words,they disappeared. Drona heard their words and BHEEMAS words and started moving forward.He came across. he remembered that Dhrushtadyumna was born to kill him. He questioned Dharmaraju as to the truth of Bheemas claim of killing Aswathdhaama.Sree Krishna told Dharmaraju that to save his people from the wrath of Drona ,he had to ascertain the words of Bheema.Dharmaraju told him aloud that Aswathdhaam died,and slowly in low voice ,elephant.Drona became standstill and dumb.he shrivelled and shrunk. Dhrushtadyumna attacked him at that point. Drona told Dhrushtadyumna to move away from him.Drona participated in was as a captain for four days,one night ,and for twenty gadiyas on the fifth day.he killed twenty thousand warriors.he called Karna,Krupaachaarya, and Duryodhana by their names and told them his mind.You always tell me to war still more and still more intense fashion.Idid to my capacity.Now I donot want to participate in war. I want to end my life.Saying this,he released his bow and arrows.he advised them to live their lives with knowledge and intelligence. he sat on the ground in squatting position and started his penance in a calm and composed manner.Dhrushtadyumna walked to him with his sword.Drona was released from his life.In spite of Arjunas warnings and Dharmarajus pleas that it was wrong,he beheaded Drona.kourava armies ran away.Duryodhana became dull with this incident.

Krishna consoles Dharmaraju

Sree Krishna then started telling the reason behind his happiness on the death of Ghatothkacha.As long as Karna has the super power given by Indra with him,it is very difficult to save you from him.but now we are safe.you not fear death in the hands of Karna.even other wise,Ghatothkacha is a demon.may be he might resort some wrong deeds with anger and not having moral values ,he might be a liability in later days.who knows/ may be I would have to kill him then.so,this day is the for happiness.dont be sorrowful. Saathyaki heard these words.he questioned Krishna,why Karna did not kill Arjuna till then,if had so much power all along.why did not he utilise those super powers.to Krishna replied like this.As long as kouravas are in their tents,they think of this only. but as soon as Karna comes to warfielod,I make him forget this aspect.I did not all this to protect Arjuna only.now,Karna can not use that power.From now on,I can sleep peacefully. Sanjaya told these things to Dhrutharashtra. they were very unhappy.they knew that divine powers were with pandavas.they did not know how to save their people. Dharma raju was weeping hearing Ghatothkachas demise.he squatted in his chariot. Krishna consoled him and told him not to repent any more.he should not be depressed like a common man.he had to get up and complete so many other things with josh.otherwise,how could they obtain victory over kouravas?Dharmaraju remembered all the good qualities of Ghatothkacha and was sorrowful. Vyaasa maharshi came and consoled him.he too told that Karna acquired that power with sole intention of killing Arjuna. now,with the demise of Ghatothkacha,they were safe.he told Dharmaraju to go in rightful path. he is sure to taste the victory on the fifth day from then. it was night and both armies were tired. Arjuna then addressed both te armies to take rest till the moon comes. both sides agreed and they slept there itself.some slept on their elephants,some on their horses,some in their chariots and some slept on the ground.as soon as the moon shone in the sky,they started the war again. Duryodhana came to Drona and again instigated him like this. Pandavas your pet students. so ,you are not fighting with them sincerely and making them great warriors.if you are biassed like that what can I do? he questioned. Drona lost temper hearing these words. he lashed out at him like this.why are you talking like this with venom?you did whatever you wanted to do till now.you enjoyed life to the fullest extent in whatever fashion you wanted to enjoy.leave all your fears and attack pandavas now.Drona then went to attack PANDAVA ARMIES.aRJUNA ANd Bheema also attcked Kourava armies on Krishnas encouragement.it was almost morning and sky was red with suns rays.

Ghatothkacha KILLEDE BY kARNA

Sree Krishna called Ghatothkacha ,who was fighting with Karna.he told him to fight with Alaayudha and kill him. Ghatothkacha went and fought with Alaayudha. there was a fierce fight between them.Ghatothakacha killed Alaayudha and hurled his head in front of Duryodhana.Kouravas thought that Alaayudha,being a demon,would kill pandavas but he himself was killed by Ghatothkacha.Then Ghatothkacha went and attacked Karna who was destroying Pandava army. Ghatothkacha became invisible along with his chariot. kouravas were afraid in what way and whom he would attack next.he showered arrows on kouravas.Karna did not know how to control Ghatothkacha. as his strength was depleting,Ghatothkachas strength was renewing.Duryodhana and others advised Karna to use his specialpowers,given by Indra to kill Ghatothkacha.Otherwise they would all be killed by the demon.by that time,Karnas chariot was broken by Ghatothkacha and he was rushing at him with his gada.so,Karna had no other go than to use his special powers to kill Ghatothkacha. that powere released by Karna killed the demon mercilessly.kouravas celebrated the death of Ghatothkacha.pandavas went into dorrow. but Krishna blew his conch in happiness and hugged Arjuna.Arjuna was aghast at the response of Krishna to Ghatothkachas death. he questioned Krishna the reason for his happiness.

war during fourth night of Dronas captaincy

Pandavas and kouravas were fighting on the night of fourth day of Dronas captaincy.Karna was fighting with Sahadeva and destroyed his chariot.Sahadeva was helpless. then Karna went to him and humilated him in this hashion.never attack an enemy who is more powerful than you.see,Arjuna is fighting with kourava army . go and take shelter behind him.just because,Karna gave word to his mother that he would not kill other pandavas except Arjuna,he released Sahadeva. Sahadeva was ashamed and alighted another and went away.like this both sides for involved in duels and fight in groups.Saathyaki attacked Karna.Karna came to Duryodhana and told him that they would kill Sathyaki in the same fashion as when they Abhimanyu. Duryodhana gave his assent.they thought that Sathyaki deth would immensely help them in achieving the victory.Duryodhana sent Sakuni to help them.Karna and Duryodhana attacked Sathyaki along with other kourava warriors.Sathyaki was at his best on that night. he killes and massacred infantry,horses,elephants in so many different and unique ways.Arjuna ,Sathyaki and DHRUSHTADYUMNA WERE ATTACKING kourava armies in such a fashion that they were all running away from the war field. Arjuna wanted to attack Karna.he directed SREE Krishna to go to Karna.but Sree Krishna gave him his line of thought. demons will have more energy and strength during nights than humans.So,it would be better if we send Ghatothkacha to attack Karna. we can attack other Kourava armies.they called Ghatothkacha and told him that Karna was attacking pandava armiesferociously.if you show your might ,he can not withstand your demons vigour.because we are fighting during night,victory to you is imminent and sure.so,go and win over Karna for today.Arjuna also gave his consent.Ghatothkacha was happy to put into action their advise.he attacked Karna with renewed vigour. Karna could not equal him,however he tried. Ghatothkacha broke the bow of Karna.

karna consoles Duryodhana

Duryodhana went to Karna and poured out his grievances.he told him like this.Dronaachaaryudu has prepared a pakka and strong vyooham. but he could not control Arjuna.so,there is no gain from him.definitely he is harming us in a way.if we had known that Drona was like this,we would have kept Saindhava at home and come to the war field.then so much of our army would not have perished. Karna was cool headed. he replied like this. why blame Drona for the death of Saindhava. it is an act of god.we have to do our duty.he consoled Duryodhana. so,on the fourth day,they went to war during night also.Drona attacked Pandava armies along with Karna.Duryodhanas brothers attacked Bheema but Bheema killed all of them.he was ferocious and people were afraid to even look at him during that time. Drona attacked Bheema.Saathyaki was attacked by Aswathdhaama.but ,Ghatothkacha gave counter attack to Aswathdhaama.Strength of demons increases by night. so,Ghatothkacha was very strong and vibrant in his attack.kouravas could not control him.it was beyond their power to contain him.Karna,Duryodhana and others were afraid to face him and went aside.Karna went to attack pandava army.he could not stand up to the attack of Arjuna and ran away and took shelter behind Krupaachaaryas chariot.Arjuna attacked kourava army.Bheema destroyed Ambashta,sibi and vanga armies.Arjuna destroyed Magadha,Madra,and other armies.pandava armies ran away when Drona attacked them. It was dark.they could not see properly.Duryodhana made arrangements to carry and hold lights.Pandavas also made similar arrangements with divities.

Duryodhana instigates Drona

sree Krishna hugged Arjuna and praised him that he was a great warrior.you won over Kouravas who could not be won by even dieties.now,if you can win over Karna,I would be very happy.Arjuna replied him obediantly. our development and progress lies in your kind attitude towards us.you have to look after our welfare. Sri Krishna then told him that they had to go and see Dharmaraju.Krishna started the chariot.seeing the fate of Kourava army,again Krishna praised Arjunas talent profusely.they neared Dharmaraju.sree Krishna blew his conch,paanchajanyam.Dharmaraju recieved them bubbling with happiness.Krishna and Arjuna got down from their chariot and paid their respect to Dharmaraju. Duryodhana was dull with this turn of events. he said that if Arjuna really lost his temper,no one can face him and win.Arjunas intention is to save kouravas,that was why he is not showing his full vigour.he went to Drona.he started humiliating Drona with his words.Arjuna is your dear student and disciple. so,you would not kill him. Drona was hurt by the rude attitude of Duryodhana. why are you hurting with such talk again and again/I told you so many times that no one van defeat Arjuna.It is difficult even for the dieties.you and all your men could not safe guard Saindhava.why this use less talk. we would go for the war even in the night.tell my son not to grieve for me.tell him to kill those pandavas who remain after my demise.

curse of VRUddhakshathrudu

Arjuna was tired of keeping the head of Saindhava from ground.he asked Krishna,how long he had to throw it into the sky again and again.then Sree Krishna started to tell him the story of Vruddhakshathrudu. Vruddhakshathrudu was the king of Sindhu.he did penance for a son.he had a son named Saindhava.his actual name is Jayadhradha.in his childhood,once a voice was heard from the sky that he would be beheaded when he is not alert in the war field.hearing this,his father ,with the power of penance,gave curse like this. who ever would throw Saindhavs head on to the ground,would die a mean death. his head would be blown in to hundred pieces.so,Saindhavas head should not fall to the ground. Vruddha kshathrudu gave his kingdom to Saindhava and went into woods to do penance.his abode is near Samanthapanchaka area.so,Krishna directed Arjuna to use his Paasupathaasthram in such a way that the head of Saindhava would fall straight into the lap of VRuddhakshathrudu.then Arjuna prayed that his use of Paasupathaasthram should be in such a way that the mission is accomplished successfully.he released arrows in such a stream that the head of Saindhava fell into the lap of Vruddhakshathrudu who was doing penance.the old king did not know what fell in his lap.so,he immediately took it and threw it on to the ground.as soon as it fell to the ground,the old kings head blew into hundred peices and immediately died.seeing this,Krishna praised Arjuna.everyone was awe struck at this act of Arjuna.Arjuna then took back the paasupathaasthram.till his head fell on to the ground,the body of Saindhava was standing in the chariot. as soon as it fell,his body also collapsed to the ground.like this Arjuna succeeded. kouravas wept seeing the demise of Saindhava. Bheema blew his conch and made sounds of happiness like a lion.Dharmaraju was happy that Arjuna could fulfill his words.pandava armies were happy with this outcome.they attacked Drona with inspiration.

saindhava beheaded

Duryodhana thought that Arjunas oath to kill Saindhava before sunset was improbable to achieve. because they were all there to protect Saindhava.If Arjuna failed to accomplish this act,he would die of shame .if Arjuna died,all other Pandavas would also die.then KOuravas can rule the entire world happily. But Arjuna destroyed Karnas chariot.Karna alighted Salyas chariot and fought with Arjuna.Duryodhana and other warriors surrounded Arjuna and fought with him.ferocious war was taking place there.It was nearing evening.then Sree Krishna told Arjuna a way out. he had to behead Sandhava during that split second.Krishna covered sun with his Sudarsana chakra. kouravas thought that sun has set in the west.every one was looking at the sunset,including Saindhava.kouravas were happy that Arjuna failed to fulfil his statement to kill Saindhava before sunset. Arjuna was unhappy that he had to resort to such mean tactics to kill Saindhava. but he had no option.So,he killed Saindhava with his arrows.Sree Krishna warned him that Saindhavas head should not roll on the ground.so Arjuna was flicking at the head so that it was popping in the air.Krishna removed his sudarsana chakra from the sun and every one realised that it was not yet sun set.but by that it was too late. Saindhavas was already beheaded.they were sorry, they were angry and they were astonished.they all attacked Arjuna together.Arjuna was doing war with them ,but also simultaneously seeing that Saindhavas head did not fall to the ground.everyone was astonished to see that act.
