Двое меня! И не разделяйте!
EARLY MORNING OF DAY 15 CONTINUES :
Bhima kills an elephant by name Ashwathama & shouts loudly before Drona :
ASWATHAMA HAD BEEN SLAIN
Hearing those highly disagreeable words of Bhima and reflecting upon them, Drona's limbs seemed to dissolve.
Recollecting however, the prowess of his son, he soon came to regard that intelligence as false.
Hearing, therefore, of his slaughter, Drona did not become unmanned. Indeed, soon recovering his senses, he became comforted, remembering that his son was incapable of being resisted by foes. Rushing towards Drishtadyumna, he covered him with multiple shafts.
Now around 20000 warriors attacked him but he dispelled all those warriors’ shafts with arrows of his.
Using more celestial weapons, Drona slews six thousand elephants & ten thousand steeds.
Seeing the destructive mood of Drona, all the rishis assemble & Bramha Deva himself appears before him and says :
U are fighting unrighteously. Ur are versed in the Vedas but U ceased to practice them. U are not doing the duties of a Brahman . Please lay aside all ur weapons.
Even the rishis echoed the same feelings of Brahma Deva.
Hearing this, Drona became exceedingly cheerless in battle.
Burning with grief and exceedingly afflicted, he tries to reach Yudhishthiraas to find out whether his son Aswatthaman had been slain or not.
Drona firmly believed that Yudhishthira would never speak an untruth even for the sake of the sovereignty of the three worlds.
For this reason, Drona sought to approach Yudhishthira and not any body else. He had hoped for truth from Yudhishthira from the latter's infancy.
Meanwhile, Krishna , knowing that Drona, was capable of sweeping all the Pandavas off the face of the earth, became much distressed
Krishna's main concern was due to the fact that Drona was all set to fire BRAMASTRA soon.
