THE TWELFTH DAY

You tried to poison and kill them. You tried to bum them alive. You have grieved and humiliated them at the game of dice and you have forced them out to live in the forest for long years.

They will not surrender. See there, their army has rallied and all their forces are leading a combined attack on Drona.

There, see Bhima, Satyaki, Yudhamanyu, Kshatra dharma, Nakula, Uttamaujas, Drupada, Virata, Sikhandin. Dhrishtaketu and other warriors have all come to protect

Yudhishthira and are pressing Drona hard. We should not stand idly watching, when we have put such a heavy burden on the acharya.

Great as he is, there is a limit to the load even he can carry. Even wolves combined in large numbers can harass and kill a mighty elephant, Let us proceed. It will not do any longer to leave Drona unsupported."
