Day Eight

The day began. Duryodhana was sad about being tricked. Arjuna faced Bhishma who said Let me see your skill today. Taking the crown of Duryodhana, you tricked me. Now listen to me, I will make Krishna break his vow. He will pick up a weapon.
Gods wondered what would happen. Krishna had vowed not to touch a weapon and here Bhishma had made a promise. Let us see who will break his vow.
Bhishma fought furiously. He cut off all Arjuna's arrows.
Drona and Dhristadyumna were fighting. The son of Drupada was cutting off all of Drona's arrows. Drona cut off Dhristadyumna's bow. Dhristadyumna then picked up a mace and flung it at Drona who cut that off. Drona then cut the chariot of the prince. Dhristadyumna then picked up a sword and rushed at Drona. He cut off the horses of the chariot. Using five arrows, Drona cut the sword. Dhristadyumna then climbed up on the chariot of Abhimanyu.
Bhima and Duryodhana were fighting each other with their maces. Wounded, Duryodhana climbed on his chariot and began shooting arrows at Bhima. Bhima seeing  this, also climbed up on his chariot. Bhima cut off Duryodhana's bow. Duryodhana picked up another bow. Bhima cut that off too. Seeing this many warriors came to rescue Bhima and all of them met their end in the hands of Bhima.
