Day Six

The day started with the armies fighting. Karna was creating havoc with his mace. Sahadeva started his fight, killing many soldiers. Shakuni aimed a sword at Sahadeva, who cut that off. All arrows of Shakuni were cut off by Sahadeva. Shakuni fled.
Nakula and Jayadhrata were fighting. Dhristadyumna and Bhurisrava were fighting.
Arjuna and Drona began fighting. Seeing this, Abhimanyu joined in. He cut off Drona's bow. When Drona picked another bow, Abhimanyu cut that too. Whatever weapons Drona used were cut off by Abhimanyu.
Krishna took the chariot towards Bhishma where Arjuna attacked the grand sire. It was a severe combat with each cutting off the other's arrows. Arjuna cut off the flag staff of the chariot and killed the charioteer and the horses of Bhishma's chariot.
Bhishma then picked up a weapon called Narayana and invoked the power by reciting the mantras. When the weapon was released, the earth started shaking. Krishna told Arjuna - drop your weapons on the chariot and sit down. Arjuna said this was not his duty. His duty was to fight.
Krishna said, this was not the time for words. Arjuna dropped his weapons seeing which the other Pandava warriors and their allies did the same. Bhima still had his mace in hand. Krishna said Immediately  drop the mace. Bhima refused and said he would rather die.
The weapon saw only Bhima with a weapon and came towards him. Krishna seeing this went towards Bhima and stood in front of him. The weapon came and struck Krishna. The weapon, on touching Krishna, lots all its power.
Bhishma seeing this started praising Krishna.
The war resumed.with Bhishma wounding Arjuna.
Soon it was evening and the war ended.
