“ Then king Duryodhana, O monarch, beholding that army of thine thus standing as if paralysed and lifeless, said, 'Relying upon the might of your army I have summoned the Pandavas to battle and caused this passage-at-arms to commence! Upon the fall of Drona, however, the prospect seems to be cheerless. Warriors engaged in battle all die in battle. Engaged in battle, a warrior may have either victory or death. ”
