Day Three

Having bathed and changed, Yudhistira sat in his camp. He was trying to console Virata who had lost 2 sons in a day.
The next day the Kaurava army created a Garuda formation with Bhishma at the tip. Drona and Kritavarma were the eyes.
The Pandavas formed a crescent formation.
When the two armies clashed, the noise was so great that it was very difficult to hear any other sound. Like rain, the sky was overcast with arrows flying around.
Arjuna along with Ghatotkacha and Abhimanyu killed many Kaurava warriors.
Bhima and Duryodhana fought with bow and arrows and at one time Duryodhana fainted.
Coming to his sense he asked Drona and Bhishma to concentrate on the battle. This angered them and they said - When we tried to talk to sense to you, you refused to listen. Now, let us handle things ourselves.As a king you need to be responsible for your people.
Bhishma started fighting again. It was difficult to stand his might.
Arjuna got showered by arrows from Bhishma. Using divine weapons, Arjuna cut off Bhishma's weapons. Arjuna cut off the flag staff on Bhishma's chariot and cut off his bow. Arjuna then killed Bhishma's charioteer. Bhishma took another bow. The sun was hidden with the arrows flying around.
The day's fight ended.
