Meanwhile, the sun was setting on the horizon. Sātyaki defeated Duśśāsana and Bhīma defeated Karṇa.Įven so, the six great rathikas were protecting Jayadratha and fighting vigorously therefore it was difficult to kill him. Arjuna killed Śrutāyudha, Sudakṣiṇa, and others he defeated Duryodhana who faced him in single combat and moved forward. A large-scale scuffle broke out, followed by one-to-one combat. Kṛtavarma, Kāmbhoja, and others tried to block them. Following him in tow were the warriors Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujas, who were protecting the wheels of his chariot. Seeing this, Droṇa shouted, “What’s this? You’re going away without defeating your enemy on the battlefield!”Īrjuna replied, “ Ācārya, you are my guru, not my enemy I am your disciple, equal to your son there is no man yet born on this earth who can defeat you!” Saying this, Arjuna escaped from his clutches and deftly entered the padma- vyūha.
Kṛṣṇa turned Arjuna’s chariot to the right even as Droṇa was watching then he went in a circular manner avoiding Droṇa. Looking at this, Kṛṣṇa said, “Arjuna! Let’s not waste time let’s leave this brāhmaṇa and move forward!” Arjuna said, “Whatever you say!” Although Arjuna fought fearlessly, Droṇa stood firm, unmoved. Bowing down to his teacher, he said, “ Ācārya! Please bless me you are like a father to me therefore you must protect me just like you would protect Aśvatthāma with your compassion and benevolence, I desire to wage war with Jayadratha and kill him.”ĭroṇa smiled and said, “How is it possible for you to defeat Jayadratha without conquering me, Arjuna?” Saying so, he sent out sharp shafts at him. Droṇa himself stood at the front of the śakaṭa.Īrjuna defeated Durmarṣaṇa, Duryodhana, Duśśāsana, and others finally he reached Droṇa.
At the front of the sūcī, he had arranged Kṛtavarma, Kāmbhoja, Jalasandha, Duryodhana, Karṇa, and along with these heroes, thousands of other warriors behind all of them stood Jayadratha. The fourteenth day of the war began with Droṇa arranging the Kaurava army in the śakaṭa-vyūha formation within which he arranged the army in the padma-vyūha and inside that created a sūcī- vyūha.
