Yudhishtira seeks benediction from Bhisma...

Episode#50

Yudhishtira crossed the lines of armed soldiers, walked straight to Bhisma Pitamah, touched his feet and said humbly, "Pitamah permit us to fight this battle, unfortunately we dare to fight against you, our own unconquerable and incomparable Pitamah, but not without seeking your precious benediction!"

Pitamah replied "Born in the Bharat-race, you have acted according to our code of conduct, go ahead and you will experience victory! I am however, bound by obligation to the throne of Hastinapur and I must fight for the Kauravas, but I assure you that you will not face defeat."

Yudhishtira approached Guru Drona who blessed him saying "I and Aswasthama are morally bound to serve the King as he has provided us with food, shelter and basic amenities as per the norms.

I cannot deviate from their obligation without violating the laws of loyalty and righteousness as it would amount to treachery. We may have to battle against you but nevertheless victory is yours."

Yudhishtira also approached Kripa and king Salya for their blessings and returned to his regiment.

Mahabharata war - Day 9

Episode#63 On the Ninth day, before the battle began, Duryodhana was closeted with Bhisma Pitamah. He gave vent to his feelings of disappointment over the inconclusive manner in which the battle proceeded. His words were no less than piercing spears and pained Bhisma greatly but known for his equanimity, the latter was patient and said "Like ghee on the sacrificial fire I am pouring my life out for you. Why do you seek to mortify me, who has been doing the very utmost for you? You speak like a man of no understanding, not knowing what is right and what is wrong. You see things not in their original state - your vision is clouded...! You are now reaping the harvest of hatred you deliberately sowed. The only course left is to battle in the best possible way, by losing heart nothing is accomplished! Fight now as a Kshatriya should and the honour will be yours whatever the consequences!" Thus cheering Duryodhana and boosting his confidence with wise and affectionate words, Bhism...

The Kurukshetra field presented strange sight with burning torches - the generals and soldiers on both the sides we're engaged in battle, thousands of torches burnt and were used as signals, devised for night time. Ghatotkacha and his troops of demons (who are stronger at night) found darkness an additional advantage and violently attacked Duryodhana army. Duryodhana heart sank when he saw thousands of his men destroyed by Ghatotkacha and his demon army moving in the air and attacking in strange and unexpected ways. The warriors begged to Karna "Kill this fellow at once, Karna, for otherwise, soon our whole army will cease to be. Finish him without delay!" Karna himself was angry and bewildered, having been wounded by one of the Asura arrows. He had with him the spear which Indra had bestowed to him, but as warned, it could be used only once, and...
