Scene shifts to Drona heroically riding his chariot and shooting arrows, he confronts Arjuna and tells him to accept his challenge, Drona says that if he defeats Arjuna today - He can be proud on his skill, and if Arjuna defeats him today - He can be proud on his skills as a teacher, honors will be his Anyways.

Both have hunters in their hand and they start to have a duel with it, Sikhandi soon wraps Shakuni's neck around the hunter and holds him at his will, Sikhandi says that killing Bhishma is Mahadev's vardaan, Shakuni, who is almost choked, says that he (Sikhandi) will have to take another janm for fulfilling Mahadev's vardaan and stabs Sikhandi in her stomach, a shocked Sikhandi falls onto the ground, Shakuni proceeds to give a final stab to kill Sikhandi but is stopped and kicked away in mid air by Abhimanyu, the latter then picks an injured Sikhandi up and proceeds to the Pandavas camp to treat her.

Vidura asks Sanjaya about what is happening, Sanjaya says that Sikhandi is injured and hence is being taken back to the camp, Dhritashtra is happy and says that Sikhandi will not be able to return to the battlefield and hence pitamaha will not die.
