The sage said to Janmajeya -
While Arjuna was fighting, he saw crows coming and sitting on the flag posts of the chariots. They were continuously cawing away. The bow string of Gandiva broke once and his left eye started throbbing. He suddenly started sweating.
Arjuna said to Krishna - Nothing is amiss. I can hear crying noises. I wonder what is happening.
Krishna said Till the time Abhimanyu is there, there is no fear. If Abhimanyu is killed, that will have to be by unfair means and that will mean Duryodhana's end.
Krishna knew that Abhimanyu had fallen but he could not tell Arjuna that. He started the chariot towards the camp. Arjuna saw more ill omens. He entered the camp.
It was all dark inside and all were sitting on the ground. Arjuna said Why is everyone avoiding me?
He saw Yudhistira crying. He moved around and saw Abhimanyu missing. He asked Bhima where Abhimanyu was. Bhima was quiet.
Arjuna had tears in his eyes. Slowly Bhima told Arjuna about the battle and the death of Abhimanyu.
Arjuna could not control his grief. He started crying, Krishna then consoled him.
