YUDHISHTHIRA'S MISGIVINGS |
|
Do not ask me to go. Consider well before you command me to leave." "Satyaki," replied Yudhishthira, "I have thought over it A I have weighed thedanger against the need and I have concludedthat you must go. You leave me with my full permission. Here is the powerful Bhima to look to my safety. There is Dhrishtadyumna also, and there are many others besides. There is no need to worry about me." So saying, Yudhishthira placed boxful of arrows and other weapons in Satyaki's chariot and got fresh horses yoked thereto and sent Satyaki uttering benedictions on him. "Bhimasena, Yudhishthira is your charge. Be vigilant," said Satyaki, and went to join Dhananjaya. Satyaki met with violent resistance as he proceeded to dash through the Kaurava forces, but he cut his way through bearing down all opposition. But the resistance was very stiff and his progress was slow. When Dronasaw Satyaki part fromYudhish- thira, he began to assault the Pandava formation with out rest or interval, until it began to break and retreat. Yudhishthira was greatly agitated. |
