| Sanjaya says— O King! Lakhs of Kshatriyas from the Pandava side, leading the mighty Maharathi Virat Senapati Swet, showed their might to your son Duryodhan and keeping Shikhandi in front, boarded Bhishma's golden decorated chariot. Bhaarat! Those Maharathi Swet wanted to protect him. Therefore, they attacked Bhishma, the best of the warriors, with the desire to kill him. A very fierce battle broke out at that time. |
