THE PANDAVA GENERALISSIMO

Yudhishthira finally asked Kesava for his opinion. "The warriors mentioned are, each one of them, worthy of selection," said Krishna* "Any one of them would fill the Kauravas with fear.

All things considered, I would endorse Arjuna's choice. Anoint Dhrishtadyumna, therefore, as your Supreme Commander."

Accordingly, Dhrishtadyumna, Drupada's illustrious son, who led Draupadi at the swayam-vara and gave her away to Arjuna, who for thirteen long years was brooding over the insult that his sister had to suffer in Duryodhana's court, and who waswaiting for an opportunity to avenge the wrong, anointed Supreme Commander of the Pandava army.

Lion-roar of warriors, the blowing ofconchs and shells and t trumpeting of elephants rent the air, With warlike cheers which made the welkin ring, the Pandava army entered Kurukshetra in martial array.
