Krishna's confession before Jayathratha's death

Nar and Narayan are inseparable. They are one soul in two bodies. Krishna's love for Arjun is meaningful. The love that he showered on him can not be compared with his love for anyone else.

Abhimanyu's death followed by Jayathrath vadh stood testimony for Krishna's unparalleled love for Arjun. He said thus.

Na hi daara Na mitrani jnatayo Na cha Bandhava:

Kaschinnanya: Priyatara: Kunti putrat mamarjunat

No one is dearer to me than Kunti's son Arjuna,no wives,no friends,no relatives ,no others.

Anarjuna mimam lokam muhurtamapi Daruka

Udikshitum Na Saknoham...

O Daruka ! I can't look even for a second at this world,devoid of Arjuna.

These are his words to Daruka,his charioteer on the night of Abhi's death after Arjun took an oath to kill Jayathrath before the sun set of next day.

I wish to elaborate the sequence and present Krishna's devine love for Arjun.

Panchali,Subhadra rushed to the Royal Tent . They just could not stop crying and with swollen faces entered inside.Subhadra hastened to Krishna and confronted him.' Bhrata tell me this is false. I never believe my son has to succumb when you are there in the battlefield. Tell me it is false. Bring back my Abhi." Subhadra placed her head on Krishna's lap and sobbed.Krishna had moisture in his eyes.' Bhadra compose yourself. If you become so who will support Uttara in crisis? See your husband is shattered . You should be his strength now."

Subhadra hugged Arjun and wept piteously.' Abhi met with such fate even if his father is the best warrior? Why did you leave our son? Don't you know how adventurous he is? " Subhadra lamented bitterly.Panchali stood erect,detached staring into space. Kirti cried and said.' Pitasri Mata is not talking to any one. She lost contact with us."

Krishna got up and approached Panchali.' Sakhi look here. Try to come to terms with the mishap. Nothing is in our hands.It is pre ordained." Panchali murmured in a low tone.' Pre ordained? No. We sent our Abhi among those vultures.We pushed him into the altar of sacrifice. Is there any one here who is not guilty?" Her question made Yudhishtir Bheem and the Twins bend their heads with guilty feeling.

Arjun looked at Sahadev and asked.' Why did you all go after my child? You became so spineless not to assist a child and leave him to that bunch of jackals? I want every bit of information after I left the field."

Sahadev elaborately described every thing.Abhi's valour,His encounters and ultimately his death . Arjun fumed and asked.' So many warriors attacked one warrior? Why did GuruDron allow that? And why you all stayed outside the vyuha?"

Bheem answered sorrowfully.' Jayathrath stopped us. Mahadev gave him a boon that one single day he will be able to vanquish four of us except you. This happened that day. I am ashamed Arjun.I failed miserably. Forgive me." Bheema wept.

Arjun's eyes turned reddish. He stood and clasped his Gandiv firmly. Then he touched water and took oath.' That wretched Jayathrath harmed us by abducting Panchali. We left him with life thinking of Dussala. See how he took revenge. He is the culprit for my Abhi's death.Listen all of you. I swear I will kill Jayathrath before Sunset tomorrow by all means. If I fail I will enter fire along with my Gandiv."

Every one applauded Arjun whole heartedly. Panchali stared at Krishna.who read the question in her eyes. He assured her with his eyes.

Duryothan called for urgent meet at mid night. Jayathrath is beside him shivering and frightened.Karna questioned.' What happened friend? Just now we left for our tents. Anything serious ?" Jayathrath addressed Dron.' GuruDron? I am leaving immediately for my Sindhudesh. I request Yuvraj to grant me permission." Dussasan raised his eyebrows. " What happened Brother in law? Suddenly why do you look dejected?" He asked. Duryothan answered.' Guru Dron,Spies brought me news that Arjun vowed to kill me by sunset tomorrow. He feels Jayathrath is responsible for Abhimanyu's death."

Dron was taken aback.' What else did he vow, Tell me completely." Duryothan said with a smirk.' He vowed that before Sunset tomorrow if he can not kill Jayathrath he will enter fire with Gandiv." Karna and Dussasan looked at each other.Karna pointed out.' There is a silver lining here. If we prevent him from killing Jayathrath he will die. And without him Krishna wont live. Then it is so easy for us to defeat the remaining."

Jayathrath fumed at him.' Angraj. Here my life is put in danger. You are telling the impossible to be possible? Who will restrain Arjun? You? You won't even stay long to counter him. Case in point Draupadi Swayamvar and Virat Yudh.I don't have confidence in your boastful words. Dont try to stop me.I know the power of his arrows. When I abducted Draupadi,he struck me and stopped me even without seeing me before. I can't take risk. Here I leave."

Guru Dron tried to convince him.' Jayathrath,Kshatriyas should not leave the battle field in the middle. Yes I know Arjun's valour.But I am his Guru. It will be an insult to my Vidya if I can not fight my desciple. Give me a chance. I will hide you in the middle of two vyuhas . Let all of us protect you from Arjun." Duryothan also supported Dron.Jayathrath halfheartedly agreed to stay back.

Krishna and Arjun are discussing the next day war. While Arjun still is shedding tears thinking of Abhi,Krishna is more worried of Arjun's vow,Hescolded him softly.' Parth,how can you take such a vow in these circumstances? Is it that easy to reach Jayathrath tomorrow ? I got news just now that they already started counter measures to prevent you from fulfilling your vow.You should not be impulsive Parth. Yes. They killed Abhi by fraud. But now we are facing the most difficult task ahead."

Arjun glanced at him indifferently and shrugged his shoulders.' Madhav I have put my honour and life at stake to avenge my dearest son's death. I know I will win. You are with me. I have my Gandiv.I will pay my tribute to my Abhi by destroying Duryothan's forces and killing Jayathrath.I am ready to reach Abhi if I fail. " Krishna patted his back and said.' Don't say so.We will win tomorrow . I promise.Now go to sleep for a while. You have a tough task ahead."

Krishna came to his tent and called Daruka his charioteer.' Daruka,get my chariot ready for tomorrow. Keep every weapon inside. If Arjun needs me I will be breaking my vow also. Daruka,my parents,brothers,wives,children no one is as dear to me as Parth. I can't even look at the earth devoid of Parth even for a second. I will smash the Kauravas if anything happens to Parth." Krishna's words resounded in that dark night and made Daruka wonder.' How fortunate Arjun is to enjoy such love from the God himself.Narada's words are true They are Nar Narayan incarnated as Krishna and Arjun."

I Arjun lied down on the bed of Kusagrass and closed his eyes. His grief now is converting into uncontrolled fury that will definitely turn the tide against the Kauravas.Suddenly he felt the warmth of Krishna's hand on his forehead.Madhav, he muttered under his breath. Krishna softened his curls and closed his eyes.Say Om Namah Sivaya Parth,Krishna's words reached his ears and instantly Arjun,s conscience got fixed on The Thre Eyed Lord.

After a while he saw himself and his Madhav flying over the Himalayas and the next thing he saw is Manas Sarover and then the snow peaks of Kailasa Mountain.Arjun shivered with ecastacy and chanted.' He Chandra Sekhar Pahimam. Rakshamam. Om Namah Sivaya." Krishna's grip on Parth's shoulder tightened as they alighted in the middle of Kailasa. There he sat the Dakshinamurty,the Laya Karak with Uma Parvati on his side.

Kailash parvat is shining with Snow White peaks and beautiful flower lakes. The whole ambience offered immense mental peace and serenity to Arjun's grief stricken heart. He stood with folded hands and stared at Chandrasekhar,Parameswar Mahadev. He looked the same as benevolent,graceful with Vibhuti lines on his forehead and Sakti by his side. His eyes exhibited immense love for his special devotees.

He side glanced Mata Parvati whose face brightened on seeing her brother,Swayam Narayan and his dearest friend Arjun,whose face looked sad and painful. She stood and welcomed them gracefully." I am pleased to have you both here,Bhrata Narayan,she said. Siv Sankar smiled at Adisakti's enthusiastic welcome to Nar Narayan.

Mahadev blessed them and asked with a beautiful smile.' What made you both come all the way here? Is everything fine? Whatever you ask I am here to gift you that."

Siva then turned to Arjun and said in his kind voice.' Jishnu,ask without hesitation. What do you want? With your Madhav beside you in happiness and sadness why do you look agitated? "

Krishna and Arjun stood and prayed.' He Mahadev,you have the Sun and the moon as your eyes.You are the all pervading universe.He Chandra Mouli,Nagabharan,you are beyond birth and death.You are Veda Swarup .He Three Eyed Lord ! He Uma Maheswar,no one can describe your power.Rudra,Trilochan Salutations to you."

Siva nodded his head in delight. He then indicated by nodding his head to tell the purpose of their visit.Krishna pressed Arjun's hand and Arjun understood. He bowed his head and said ." He Devon Ka Dev,please grace me with Pasupat.

Siva ordered them to bring his bow and arrows from the lotus pond which is near by.Then the Ganas lead them to the. Lotus pond.In the middle of that Sarovar Krishna and Arjun observed two ferocious serpants shaking their tongues and spreading poison around.Krishna and Arjun washed their feet and chanted Satarudriyam with devotion.Siva graced them and they were able to see the bow and arrows in place of serpants.Krishna and Arjun brought them to Mahadev and folded their hands.

Arjun then saw a celibate in young age emerge from Siva's body and take the bow and arrows.Arjun observed his stance and grip and with single minded concentration.Arjun then memorised the Pasupat Mantr while Siva enlightened him only once.Now he understood the way Pasupat should be released with perfect recitation of the mantra.He kept the bow and arrows back in the Sarovar.

When Arjun returned he sensed Siva's prasannata and felt gratified.Siva smiled at him and said." The boon I gave you then got fruitified Arjun. Now no doubts were left . I know you will win always. Your Madhav will never allow you to falter. My blessings Arjun, Go ahead."

Arjun kept his forehead on Siva's feet and prayed ' Lord help me avenge my Abhi's death.I was not able to save him. Atleast this much I should do."

UmaParvati kept her hand on Arjun's head and side glanced her Shiv Sankar. After Krishna and Arjun left Parvati shouted at Chandra.' Can't you keep Varchas for some more time? How sad Arjun is. Swami I felt bad for him." Chandra felt embarrassed and Sankar Shiv smiled at Uma.' The mother of creation feels for every one of her sons.

Arjun opened his eyes. He still could feel Sankar Shiv before him. He decided it must have happened really. As he came out in the Pradosh Samay and proceeded to Hiranvati,Krishna accompanied him and enquired.' How is your mindset Parth? Are you ready to face the challenge set by yourself to kill Jayathrath before sunset?" Arjun turned sideways and hugged him closer.' You are with me. What more do I want? I feel more focussed and energised. Especially after the previous night's visit to Kailash. Madhav! Your love for me crossed all boundaries . By taking me to Shiv Sankar you graced me with great inner strength and self confidence. Tell me,is it a dream or you really took me there?

Krishna laughed mischievously . ' Parth,you can think about it later. First hurry up and get ready. Dont forget to get Vir Tilak done by Panchali.I will wait for you with your chariot and horses.". Krishna went off and Parth took bath in Hiranvati.He then proceeded to the place where he worship Shiv Sankar with Rudra Namakam. As he completed his daily ritual,Panchali came with Aarti Thali.

Arjun reluctantly looked into her lotus eyes swollen and sad.She did Tilak silently and performed Aarti.Arjun understood her suppressed grief for the untimely death of her beloved Abhimanyu.He assured her in a low voice.' I promise I will kill that wretched Jayathrath who is the cause for Abhi's death. Forgive me Krishnaa,I failed to save your beloved child."

Panchali raised her eyes and forcibly stopped her tears from falling down.She lowered her voice and said.' I know fate is inevitable.We are not fortunate enough to have our Abhi with us for a longer time. Don't feel guilty. Proceed ahead and expose your full might. I know you will return victorious. " She then prayed.' Let my husband be successful in fulfilling his oath.Remove all the obstacles from his path."

Subhadra said with tears." Please take care and punish the culprits. I know my brother will never let anything happen to you. I know you loved Abhi more than your life. But now your life is precious to all of us. Keep that in my mind. May you return victorious.

Arjun nodded his head and took his Gandiv.He then visited his Eldest and touched his feet. Yudhishtir blessed him and addressed Krishna.' You always stood by us in our trials. Today is a crucial day for all of us. You only can make us cross this ocean of grief. Be with your Parth and guide him towards victory." Krishna assured him.' Eldest,you will today see the extraordinary valour of your brother and the way he will crush your rivals. None can come on his way today.

Arjun went round his chariot and ascended with his Gandiv. Before galloping ahead he ordered Satyaki.' Be with my Eldest and protect him from Drona in my absence.If you are with him I will be at peace with myself." Satyaki agreed and marched towards his position.

Drona entered the field and blew his conch.He then called Jayathrath and infused confidence in him. Still he could see the fear in Jayathrath's eyes.He sighed and convinced himself.Who will not fear his beloved descipleArjun? Previous day belonged to his son. Today the wounded father is there to crush them all and kill Jayathrath. Still as the chief commander he should do his best to protect Jayathrath from Arjun. A strange smile appeared on his face.He will challenge his dearest Arjun to penetrate into the most difficult vyuhas that he will arrange.He knew it is a game of sorts for Arjun. The Three worlds will witness the valour of Dron Sishya Arjun today.

Drona arranged Sakata Vyuha with twenty four krosh length and ten krosh width.inside that in western direction he Arranged Chakra(lotus) Vyuha . In the middle of that he arranged Suchi Vyuha that spreads to the face of the army There at the face he kept Kambhoja king along with Duryothan who had one lakh warriors with him.In the centre of the Suchi Vyuha Jayathrarh stood with a protective ring that consisted of Bhurisravas Karna,Aswathama,Salya,Vrishasena,and Kripacharya.Dussasan along with Drona stood at the entrance of the Sakata Vyuha.

Celestials wondered on seeing the skill of Drona in arranging the Vyuhas. Even more exciting is the way it will happen,A single warrior versus The whole Kaurava Army with Stalwarts protecting Jayathrath. The Sun rose above and Indra's son appeared before his rivals with his Madhav holding the reins and Hanuman on his Flag roaring ferociously.

Krishna looked back and smiled indicating Arjun the moment to blow the conch. Immediately,Arjun blew his Devdutt conch the notes of which sounded death to his rivals and victory to himself. Krishna"s Panchajanya merged with it and together the sounds reached Jayathrath who sensed the danger that stood before him in the form of Arjun. He hid himself with fear covering himself behind the Kuru Maharathis.

At that moment one of the Kauravas called Durmarshan arrogantly went forward with his force shouting that he alone can slay Parth with his prowess.Krishna drove the chariot towards him.Arjun struck Durmarshan's elephant force with his shafts and within a moment the heads of elephants and warriors were cut from their bodies with great precision.Herds of elephants fell down looking like heaps of black clouds.Durmarshan who boasted of his prowess ran away from Arjun's sight,unable to bear the arrows released from Gandiv .

On seeing his brother's plight,Dussasan faced Arjun with great force.Arjun got angry on seeing him and fired his arrows continuously,and destroyed his army.Dussasan fled from the battlefield and Arjun followed him and taunted him." Stop Dussasan,You can't escape my arrows even if you ran away You only are responsible for your plight." Arjun then struck Dussasan with ten arrows making him run and hide behind Drona.

Now Arjun faced Drona and folded his hands." He Gurudev. You protected me like Krishna and my father did.I request you to allow me entrance into the Vyuha. With your permission I will destroy the army and penetrate inside. Grace me with your blessings to kill Jayathrath today. You treated me and Aswathama with equal affection." Arjun's words and his humility brought a smile on Drona's face.

Drona taunted Arjun.' How could you enter the Vyuha without defeating me? " Having said thus,GuruDrona covered Krishna and Arjun with many shafts.Drona cut the string of Arjun's bow Arjun tied up the string covered Drona with so many arrows and destroyed the army on his other side.Chariots flew into the sky horses with warriors fell down around Drona's chariot.Drona struck Arjun and Krishna with many arrows

.Krishna advised Arjun." Parth don't waste time fighting endlessly with Guru.Let us enter the Sakata Vyuha."Having said so Krishna drove the chariot round Drona as a mark of Pradakshina while Arjun showered arrows on Drona.The chariot of Arjun entered the Sakata Vyuha.Drona went behind him and shouted .' Arjun How can you leave me and enter like that? " Arjun folded his hands and admitted " you are not my Rival,Gurudev. Only Siva can stand before you when you are angry."

Arjun penetrated inside causing destruction every where.Drona again resisted Arjun with his arrows and Arjun responded by suppressing him with his arrows. Drona tried to prevent him invain.Kritavarma resisted Arjun to some extent but Arjun struck him with a sharp shaft and Kritavarma fell on the ground unconscious.

Srutayudh the another King attacked Arjun .Fierce battle followed. Arjun killed the charioteer and the horses.Srutayu furiously took a mace and rushed towards Arjun and Krishna.That mace belongs to Varun Dev ,It should not be used on a non fighting person in the war.In the meanwhile Arjun cut the hands of Sritayu. Since the mace was aimed at Krishna who is not fighting as per Varuna's word it went back and struck Srutayu himself. He fell down and died.

The Devine chariot raced ahead with Arjun destroying all the army left,right and centre. Then Kambhoja King Sudakshin came there and attacked Arjun with fifteen arrows. Arjun pierced him with seven arrows and wounded him.The king then struck Arjun with three arrows to which Arjun countered by killing his horses and charioteer.Another sharp arrow sped fast from Gandiv and killed Sudakshin immediately.Then Arjun was attacked by Sursen,Sibi and Papati with their elephants and chariots.Arjun fumed at them and killed six thousand chariot warriors.

Srutayu Ayutayu together struck Arjun with Tomar and trident. Arjun leaned back on his flag staff and Krishna also became unconscious for a moment. Before the rivals could celebrate Krishna revived from his stupor and alerted Arjun. The son of Indra released Aindrastr on them. Due to the effect of that Devine Astra Srutayu and Ayutayu got their heads and hands cut and fell on the ground. Along with them five hundred chariot warriors were killed instantly.Arjun killed their sons Niyatayu and Dirghayu when they attacked him with anger.

Duryothan felt dejected and sent his Kalinga ,Anga and Tribal forces to fight with Arjun.The Gandiv sounded relentlessly and within a moment the heads of warriors,the trunks of elephants and chariots rolled on the ground making the field look terrible.Still Yavanas,Sakas and Paradas along with tribals resisted Arjun with multiple weapons.Arjun destroyed all of them just like forest fire burns the trees around.The fire called Arjun burnt Kaurava army persuaded by the wind called Narayan.

Arjun's arrows made the battle ground look like a river of blood.Arjun moved forward and Ambashta king stopped him with a desire to fight.Arjun broke his bow and mace and killed him in a playful manner.

Duryothan felt depressed on seeing Arjun race ahead destroying his forces and kings who came on his way.He rushed towards Drona and blame d him with harsh words.' Your dearest desciple overcame you easily and crushing my army severely.Why did you ignore him? Jayathrath trusted you and stayed in Kurukshetr.But you cheated him like this.Look at the Maharathis around Jayathrath. They were in shock seeing the way Arjun penetrated into the Vyuha and advancing towards them.I remind you it is your duty to save Jayathrath from Arjun."

Drona's face became pale and he replied.' Duryothan,when Krishna drives the chariot faster than the wind,Arjun's arrows strike like lightening and whoever try to follow them will get hurt.You think I will be able to stop them? Never.Moreover I can't run behind him leaving the face of the Vyuha. I am old and he is young and smart.It is better if you go and prevent him now."

Duryothan desparately nodded his head. ' He outsmarted you,defeated Kritavarma,killed Sritayuth,Sudakshin,Sritayu Ayutayu and other kings. And the loss he caused to my army is unthinkable.Not only me but even if Indra comes with his army he can not beat angry Arjun.Tell me an idea so that I won't be a laughing stock before him."

Drona smiled and said.' Ofcourse Arjun is invincible.But I will gift you an armour wearing which you can save yourself from Arjun's arrows." Having said so Drona made Duryothana wear an unpenetratable armour with mantras.Duryothan felt happy and attacked Arjun from backside,

In the meanwhile Arjun advanced towards Jayathrath destroying every one who is around. Binda and Anuvinda attacked him and showered arrows on Arjun and Krishna.Arjun threw a lance with awesome precision and Vinda's head rolled on the ground.Anuvinda furiously struck Krishna with his mace. Arjun got angry and cut his hands,legs and head with one. Single arrow.

Krishna saw Duryothan coming towards them and said.' Parth ,He is the root cause of your miseries. He insulted Panchali in the Dyutasabha and he is venturing to fight with you? How could he come in the range of your Gandiv? Now crush him mercilessly. A great opportunity ahead."

Arjun replied with a smile.' Ofcourse I will tackle him. You know how much torture I experience thinking of Krishnaa's plight on that day.Now see my prowess how I deal with him."

Krishna and Arjun blew their conches.The army around Duryothan lost their hopes for him. But Duryothan challenged Arjun .' If you are the son of Pandu fight with me." He shouted.He then shot ten arrows on Arjun and five on Krishna. Arjun knitted his eyebrows and shot fourteen arrows which could not hurt Dury due to the armour. Krishna expressed his surprise.' What is this Parth? Are you fine? Why are your arrows unable to hurt Duryothan?" Arjun looked at Dury thoroughly and said.' It is the effect of that armour he wore.And he thinks I can't do anything. Foolish Duryothan. Now I will let him know what I can do to him despite that armour."

Arjun then hurled a Divyastr that can pierce any armour given to him by Indra. But Aswathama shot another Divyastr and nullified it. Arjun then told Krishna that he doesn't need Divyastras to crush Duryothan. He killed Dury's horses and charioteer.He then shot sharp small sized shafts into Duryothan's palms and nails . Duryothan wailed loudly unable to bear the pain.Blood oozed from his hands and nails.He retreated back with great pain and eight hundred warriors blocked Arjun's way and shielded Duryothan from Arjun's arrows.

It is past mid afternoon and Arjun's horses showed signs of exhaustion.Krishna told Arjun the horses needed respite otherwise they can not gallop with energy and vigour. Arjun took his Gandiv and descended the chariot.The Kaurava warriors found this and just like an ocean surrounded Arjun from all sides.Arjun stood on the ground stretched his Gandiv and showered Artha Chandra arrows from all sides.Elephants collapsed,horses shattered chariots flew into the sky within a short period the whole place looked terrible with pierced body parts,flowing blood streams and skulls,flesh and bones scattered every where

Krishna called Arjun and said.' Parth,your horses need water to drink. Then only they can rejuvenate and be helpful to us.Think about it." Arjun nodded his head and pierced the earth with his Devine Astra. Immediately a lake of fresh water originated there much to the surprise of every one around.Arjun constructed a fence of arrows round the lake and asked Krishna to tend the horses. The Kaurava army was spellbound on seeing this feat.

Celestials praised Arjun from the space. Krishna smiled and appreciated his friend.' Well done Parth.Now your horses will recover soon." Krishna took the horses into the water,washed their wounds and made them drink the Devine water.All this while no one dared to approach Krishna and the horses as Savyasachi showered a rain of arrows on his rivals and made them either go to heaven or run for their lives.

The horses felt relieved and became ready to do their duty Krishna sweet talked them and soothened their backs. He then tied them up to the chariot and called Arjun.It was like a miracle that happened in the middle of the battlefield.The Warriors bent their faces and thought such great feat never happened before and won't happen in future.

The guts with which Krishna and Arjun did the tending of horses fearlessly became the topic of discussion.The Kings wondered.' Isn't it foolishness to attack such Arjun who managed that difficult task in the middle of akshouhinis as if he is on a pleasure trip.Jayathrath will certainly die before Sunset. No one can live further having harmed that great Third Pandav."

As the day progressed Arjun doubled his devastating attack on Kauravas.When Arjun again tried to attack Duryothan,great warriors like Salya,Vrishasena,Aswathama and Bhurisravas shielded him from Arjun.The Devadutt and Panchajanya were blown together causing terror in the rival army.Aswathama shot Seventy arrows on Krishna and fifteen arrows on Arjun.Arjun shot hundred arrows on Aswathama,Fifty on Karna and Fifteen on Vrishasena.He broke Salya's bow.

All those warriors targeted Arjun with showers of arrows.In between he also shot arrows on Jayathrath who is hiding behind these warriors.

In the meanwhile Yudhishtir got tensed up and called Satyaki.' Satyaki,again and again I am hearing the sound of Krishna's Panchajanya only. The notes of Devadutta are not heard.I fear Arjun must have been hurt in the battle and Krishna might have got angry and took weapons.Satyaki,I fear how the fate is today. Arjun is your Guru.

Arjun is strikingly handsome with great shoulders. Did you see such beauty in anyone else? What will happen to me if some thing happens to Arjun.You go and assist Arjun in fulfilling his vow.I will be under the protection of Drisht dyumn. So make it fast and pursue the route of Arjun." Satyaki accepted to go and Yudhishtir hurried him up to find out Arjun and Krishna.
