ARANMULA PARTHASARATHI

The Mahabharata Episode

The Lord at Aranmula is believed to represent a profound moment in the Mahabharata war. It was the ninth day of the battle. There were fierce combats. The Pandavas attacked Bhishma, the grandsire, who fought furiously and beat them back. The Pandavas attracked Bishma, the grandsire, who fought furiously and beat them back. The Pandava forces were throughly demoralized and were fleeing hither and thither. Krishna halted the chariot and said to Arjuna: "Partha, you and your brothers were looking forward to this day, after thirteen years. Do not hesitate to kill your grandsire. Remember the duty of a soldier."
