Двое меня! И не разделяйте!
EARLY MORNING OF DAY 15 ( continuity of night 14 warfare )
The war continues without gap now even after the sunrise.
An enraged Drona kills the grandsons of Durupadha. He also vanquishes in no time, the Chedis, the Kaikeyas, the Srinjayas & Matsayas.
Drona faces Durupadha & Virata now & the old rivalry comes to the memories now & after a brief battle, Drona kills both Durupadha & Virata.
On seeing the death of his father Durupadha, Drishtadyumna takes up the challenge & charges towards Drona supported by Arjuna.
By now Sun had risen at the morning & the fighting still continued
Karna & Bhima once again have a wonderful battle . After both showing their prowess, Karna again shows his superiority by destroying Bhima’s chariot & his horses. Bhima was forced to jump over to Nakula’s chariot for safety.
Drona & Arjuna meet .
Drona unleashes the Aindra, the Pasupata, the Tvashtra, the Vayavya, and the Yamya weapons which were all countered efficiently by Arjuna.
The battle looked exceedingly wonderful with both displaying their prowess.
But gradually Drona showed his dominance & kills countless number of Pandavas .
Even Arjuna could not control Drona’s onslaught .
A worried Krishna now tells Arjuna :
It is evident that Drona, that warrior conversant with the mightiest of weapons, will consume us soon. This foremost of all bowmen is incapable of being ever vanquished by force in battle, by the very gods with Indra at their head. When, however, he lays aside his weapons, he becomes capable of being slain on the field even by human beings. Casting aside virtue, someone of U , adopt now some contrivance for gaining the victory, so that Drona may not slay us all in battle. However, he is fond of his son Aswathama. If he hears that Aswathama is dead, he will cease to fight, I think. Let someone , therefore, tell him that Aswatthaman, hath been slain in battle.
However, Arjuna disapproves this totally. But Yudhishthira accepted it with great difficulty.
Now Bhima, slews with a mace a elephant named Aswatthaman, of his own army, belonging to Indravarman, the chief of the Malavas.
Approaching Drona now with some bashfulness Bhima began to exclaim aloud,
Aswatthaman had been slain
