Duryodhana, eager to bolster the confidence of his weary warriors, turned to Drona’s son with unwavering conviction and declared that Arjuna had grown exhausted by the relentless burden of war, while Karna remained unwearied, his spirit blazing with inexhaustible vigor. He proclaimed that the son of Radha, consumed by righteous wrath, would certainly slay Arjuna…
Sanjaya continued his solemn narration to Dhritarashtra, revealing that before the long-awaited encounter between Karna and Arjuna commenced, an extraordinary assembly unfolded in the celestial realms. The gods themselves gathered to witness the decisive hour that would determine the destiny of kings, the restoration of righteousness, and the fulfilment of divine purpose. What was about…
Sanjaya said to Dhritarashtra, “The dreadful death of Dussasana shook the hearts of your sons. The sight of Bhimasena tearing open his chest and fulfilling his terrible vow filled them with grief, humiliation, frustration, and an unquenchable thirst for vengeance. Blinded by rage rather than guided by wisdom, they resolved that Bhima must perish before…
Dussasana, consumed by rage, hurled a heavy pestle at Bhīma with all the strength he possessed. Bhīma shattered it effortlessly.

Sanjaya addressed Dhritarashtra with a voice heavy with concern. “O King,” he said, “Bhīmasena moves across the battlefield like the blazing midday sun, radiating irresistible power. The arrows released from his mighty bow resemble streams of living fire, consuming everything before them. Unable to withstand his terrible assault, your warriors abandon their positions in fear…
