Dhrishtadyumna tried to intercept Drona but in vain. The whole army
shouted: "Yudhishthira has been taken!" So near came Drona:
Suddenly, then, Arjuna appeared on the battlefield, the earth rumbling
under the wheels of his chariot, as it coursed swiftly over the bloody field, over bones
and bodies lying in heaps. Drona held back, for Arjuna had come on the scene.
From Gandiva issued a continuous stream of arrows. No one could see the
shafts taken out of the quiver or placed in position. It seemed as if, from out of the
great bow, an unending flood of arrows issued without intermission. The battle field was
darkened by flying missiles.
Drona retreated. Yudhishthira was not taken. The battle was stopped for
the day and the Kaurava forces went to their camp in chastened mood.
The Pandava army marched proudly to camp and behind them walked Kesava*
and Arjuna conversing. Thus closed the eleventh day of the battle.
