ABHIMANYU |

| "Dear son,
Dronacharya is harrying our army greatly. Arjuna is absent and, if we should be defeated
in his absence, he will be grieved beyond measure. No one among us has been able to break
Drona's array. You know you can do it and no one else. I ask you to take up this
task." "I can do it," replied Abhimanyu. "I have been instructed by my father how to penetrate this formation and can certainly do so. But if ` after forcing my way, it should unfortunately become necessary for me to come out, I shall be at a loss what to do, being as yet uninstructed in the art of extrication." "Valiant boy, break this impregnable formation and open a passage for us. We shall all break in your wake. We shall be with you to face any danger and no question can arise of your having to come out." Bhimasena supported Yudhishthira's proposal: "I shall be immediately behind you and enter when you succeed in breaking the enemy's formation. So also will Dhrishtadyumna, Satyaki, the Panchalas, the Kekayas and the forces of Matsyadesa. Only break the formation as you alone can do: we shall do the rest and smash the Kaurava army." |
