Chitrasen attacks Duryodhana

The army and troupe of Duryodhana went through the forest. On the way they trampled many trees. As destiny would have it, they ended up crossing a garden which belonged to the Gandharva Chitrasen. The guards reported to their master that the garden had been destroyed by Duryodhana. They said they tried to stop him, but Duryodhana had insulted them and said they were alive because he was not in a mood to fight. Karna and the others had then pushed the guards out.
Chitrasen climbed up on his chariot and decided to confront Duryodhana. He went where Duryodhana was and said - You dare destroy my garden and behave rudely. Have you lost the desire for life?
Saying this the Gandharva shot an arrow which hid the sun and it became dark. Karna then shot an arrow and the sun was visible again. Seeing this Chitrasen shot a few arrows which were cut off by Karna. The Gandharva then picked an weapon called Simhamukha and aimed that. Karna cut that off. The snake weapon was released which was cut off by Karna who release eagles.
Chitrasen said he was pleased to see the skill of Karna. He then released a few arrows which hit Karna and he fell senseless. While Karna was trying to get up, the army attacked Chitrasen but the gandharva cut off all the weapons of the army. Karna then began showering weapons.
Chitrasen then understood that to combat this, magic would be needed. He then made himself invisible and then started showering arrows. Unable to fight an invisible enemy, the army was soon vanquished. Unable to fight, Karna soon gave up.
