Arjuna and Bhima fight

Arjuna and Karna's fight was ferocious. It was as if Rama and Ravana were fighting. Arjuna shot an arrow which produced thousands of snakes. Karna shot the Garuda weapon and all the snakes were destroyed and the fiery birds, produced by the weapon, came to attack Arjuna. Arjuna shot the Fire weapon. The birds were burnt and a rain of fire started. Karna invoked a weapon to create torrents of water to come down and extinguish the fire. Arjuna then invoked the Vayu weapon and the rain dried up.
Thus exchange of weapons happened between Karna and Arjuna. Karna wanted to know who Arjuna really was. Arjuna said he was a poor brahman having a fight with a king.
Karna then invoked an arrow and shot that, which Arjuna cut off. Whatever weapons Karna shot were cut off by Arjuna. Arjuna then cut off the chariot of Karna. Seeing Karna defeated, the other kings rushed to Karna's rescue but could not stand in front of Arjuna.
The kings accepted defeat and Arjuna and Bhima embraced each other.

While Arjuna was fighting, Bhima was carrying on his battle.

Dhristyadyumna fought with Kichaka. Kichaka was able to over power him, and he fled.

Draupadi afraid of the consequences of the war, appealed to Krishna to do something. Krishna blew his conch shell. All became quiet. Krishna asked his followers to help Drupada's family. The Yadavas who had come with Krishna, wanted to join Arjuna. Krishna stopped them.

Having won their battle, the Pandavas decided to leave the place with Draupadi.
