Killing the sons of Bhima, Bhima began killing soldiers on the field. With the remaining brothers, Duryodhana attacked Bhima. Bhima wounded Duryodhana with his arrows. Seeing this Dushshasana and the other eight brothers attacked. Taking his mace, Bhima killed eight of the brothers. Off the sons of Dhritarashtra and Gandhari, only Duryodhana and Dushsasana were alive.
Karna came again to attack. He cut off Bhima's mace. Without a weapon, Bhima hurled a dead elephant at Karna. Karna cut that off. Bhima started throwing other dead animals and then dead bodies of soldiers which Karna cut off. Bhima was now empty handed and bleeding . Karna caught him. Remembering his promise to Kunti, he released Bhima.
Arjuna had traveled a long distance. Some more, and then Jayadratha would be in front of him. Krishna said - Only four hours are left for the sun to set. Please hurry up.
Arjuna said I still do not see Jayadratha. How do I kill the one I do not see.
Krishna said Do not worry. Jayadratha will die today.
Seeing Arjuna coming, Jayadrata hid himself. Krishna then asked Sudarshana to go and cover the sun. It suddenly became dark. The kuru army was happy. Now Arjuna will kill himself.
Jayadratha then came in front of Arjuna and reminded him of the promise.
Arjuna said I will not go back on my word. I will kill myself.
Arjuna then began arranging for a pyre and lit that. Krishna said If you have to enter the fire, take your weapons with you.
Picking up the Gandiva, Arjuna went around the fire seven times. Krishna then removed Sudarshana. The sun would be there for two more hours. Krishna asked Arjuna to make use of the opportunity. Krishan said Make sure you do not drop his cut head on the ground. Using arrows, throw the head onto the lap of his father who lives in the forest as a mendicant.
Arjuna did that. The cut head fell on the lap of the old mendicant. The old king threw that on the ground and his head burst into a thousand pieces.
After this, Arjuna asked Krishna about the secret of Jayadratha.
Krishna said Jayadratha had prayed to Shiva and pleased him. Shiva had then granted him a boon that who ever dropped his head on the ground would die.
Hearing this, Arjuna bowed down at Krishna for helping him.
