The battlefield is illuminated by hundreds of lamp at that night time. It looked like the sky at night time.with stars.The warriors got confused whether they are fighting with their own people or with their rivals.As night advanced the soldiers failed to control their sleep. Their weapons started falling from their hands. Arjun observed their condition and addressed them kindly." All of you take rest for a while and then resume fighting. It will be good for you all." He looked at Drona and found his Gurudev nod his head in approval.The soldiers lied down wherever they stationed.
After the predecided time is over the soldiers got up feeling fresh and energetic.The Kaurava soldiers felt grateful to Arjun and wholeheartedly blessed him." He Third Pandav,He Jishnu.your concern for even your rivals is never seen before nor would be seen hereafter. We are thankful to you.
He Arjun we bless you wholeheartedly. May your every wish be fulfilled. May you always be victorious." Duryothan got frustrated,and nailed Drona." Your Arjun is winning battles without raising his bow Gurudev," Dron smiled with appreciation." Yes. Arjun is golden hearted.He is special"
Krishna heard that and teased Arjun." Parth you are special your rivals are praising."
Arjun smiled and said." He is not my rival. He is my Gurudev. Any way I agree I am special. Who will have the great Krishna Vaasudev as the friend,philosopher and guide? Who can have the good fortune of having you in my chariot?" Krishna patted his back and took the reigns in hand.
Drishtadyumn fought with Karna and tried his best to overpower him. Karn killed Dhrisht's horses and charioteer.Dhrisht got into Arjun's chariot and again tried to advance against Karna.
Duryothan asked Sakuni and his son Uluka to face Arjun taking ten thousand car warriors. Arjun roared with anger and destroyed the whole ten thousand army just like fire burning cotton.
Arjun pierced Uluka severely and made Sakuni chariot less.Sakuni got into Uluka's chariot and both of them fled shamelessly.
In the mean while Karna attacked Panchala army and started destroying them with great energy. His arrows flew in all directions and made Panchalas run for their lives.Yudhishtir approached Arjun and expressed his fear for Karna." Arjun are you watching the way Karna is slaughtering our army? Tonight he looks fearful. Now time has arrived for you to think about his death. Do that as soon as possible."
Arjun got miffed and told Krishna." You heard the words of Eldest.I won't tolerate Karna strike my army before my eyes. Now let us proceed towards Karna."
Krishna said." Parth! No one can advance against Karna except yourself.But considering he has Sakti weapon given by your father it is advisable to send Ghatotkacha against him.He will tackle Karna with his Demonic powers." Ghatotkacha came and saluted the two Krishnas and said." At your service.Krishna blessed him and said." Son of Hidimba Time has arrived to bring glory to your father. Use your might and I know Rakshasas will possess more power at night time. Go and slay Karna who is burning the Pandava army."
Arjun blessed him and said." Go my son. Satyaki will be your chariot protector. Bheemsen himself will accompany you. Go and make us proud by beating that Karn. I will stop Drona from supporting Karna."
After Ghatotkacha left Arjun fumed at himself and cornered Krishna." Madhav why should I fear the Sakti weapon? Did I not vanquish him when I pursued Jayathrath? Why should Ghatotkacha go to fight Karna? Am I not capable?"
Krishna pacified Arjun." Parth,listen carefully.When your father Indra bestowed Sakti weapon to Karna he said he can give anything except his Vajra." Arjun interrupted." He gave Vajra to me. It is the most powerful weapon of my father." Krishna said." Yes Parth.you have Vajra and Karna has Sakti.So when Karna uses Sakti against you it is obvious that you have to use Vajra on him.Apart from Vajra you have the most powerful astras Brahma sir and Pasupat."
Arjun nodded." Yes. But if I hurl them The whole world will get smashed.Not only that the fourteen worlds will get effected. So they should not be used against mere mortals."
Krishna smiled and said." There are only two ways. Either you have to succumb before Karna's Sakti.or you have to use your more power full astras to destroy his Sakti weapon.If you opt for the first one this dharma Yuddh will end there itself.The Empire of dharma won't get established.
If you opt for the second one and use Divyastras everything around will get destroyed."
Arjun looked confused." What should I do Madhav. I don't want to make my father's weapon fruitless. His word to Karna should be kept. I can not be the reason to destroy the creation itself by Pasupat or Brahmasir."
Krishna smiled and said." Now don't think too much.Every thing happens as per the fate.Did I not tell you Karmanyevadhikaraste Maa phaleshu Kadachana. Do your deed. Don't think about result. Now let us go and tackle your GuruDron,Dron Sishya Arjun." Madhav's Parth smiled and took Gandiv in his hand.
