O Sanjaya, after telling the names of the chief warriors what did Duryodhana think? Duryodhana saw the army of the Pandavas properly arrayed and uttered these words to Drona to instigate him against the Panda's. It was described by Sanjaya to Dhrtarastra. When did Dhrtarastra ask the question? He asked the question, when he wanted to know the details of the war from the very beginning. Why did he put the question? After the tenth day of the battle Sanjaya gave a surprising news that Bhisma, the grandfather of the Kauravas and the Panda's, the son of SSantanu, the chief warrior and the best archer was badly injured and was lying on the bed of arrows. Dhrtarastra was shocked and began to lament for him. Then he asked Sanjaya to relate to him all the details of the battle. Ile said, "O Sanjaya, assembled on the holy field of Kuruksetra, eager to fight, what did my sons and the sons of Pandu do?"(1) Sanjaya replied—"Seeing the army of the Pandavas arrayed properly, Duryodhana went to Dronacarya and after approaching him he spoke, "Behold, 0 Master, the mighty army of the sons of Pandu arrayed for battle by your talented pupil, named Dhrstadyumna, the son of Drupada."(2-3) |
