As expected Duryothana made Karna the chief commander of the Kaurava army. He said." Mitr. Grandfather and GuruDron always fought in favour of Pandavas. But I know you will be true to our friendship and bring victory to me.

Karna promised Duryothan that he will slay Parth and crown Duryothan as the king of Aryavarth. He arranged the army into Makara Vyuha.On seeing that Yudhishtir addressed Arjun." Phalgun,since thirteen years I nourished this fear of Karn. I always felt he is invincible. I wish now you will slay him and remove the thorn in my heart.."
Arjun nodded his head and arranged his army intoArtha Chandra Vyuha.Bheema. and Arjuna became the two corners of that Vyuha.A great battle happened between Bheema and Aswathama.They both are struck by the arrows of each other and were carried away from each other by their respective drivers.
Arjun was busy slaughtering Samsaptakas with his devastating arrows.Thousands of arrows showered from Gandiva crushed the Samsaptakas in hundreds.The prowess of Jishnu was hailed by Siddhas and Charanas thus." These two heroes are like Sun and the moon,Brahma and Siva. They are invincible rishis Nar and Narayan"
That moment Aswathama challenged Arjun for battle. Arjun was confused whether to tackle Samsaptakas or to fight with Aswathama .He asked Krishna the same.
Krishna asked Aswathama to fight with Arjun as he dared to challenge him.
Aswathama shot sixty arrows on Krishna and Arjun.Then Arjun cut off the bow of Aswathama in rage.He tackledSamsaptakas also while fighting with Aswathama.
The battle between Aswathama and Arjun is like that of Sukra and Brihaspati.
Arjun then shot a sharp shaft and shot between the eyebrows of Aswathama causing him severe pain.Aswathama also covered the two Krishnas with powerful arrows.
Arjun then covered him with twice as many arrows equipped with wings
At the same time Arjun made the heads ofSamsaptakas fall down in the battlefield with his crescent shaped arrows.After some time afflicted by Arjun's shafts and his steeds broken by Parth Aswathama lost hope and and retreated from Arjun's sphere,
After that Govind made Arjun rush towards Dandadhar,the chief of Magatha who had his invincible elephant.After a huge fight Arjun shot a crescent shaped arrow that cut the head of Dandadhara and made it roll down.
Pandava army praised Dhananjaya wholeheartedly.
