Krishna breaks his vow

Seeing the havoc being created by Bhima, Kirpacharya came to face Bhima. Kripa cut off Bhima's bow. Bhima picked up another bow and showered arrows on Kripa.
Satyaki was fighting Bhurisharava and Abhimayu was fighting with Susharma. Ghatotkacha was fighting Alambush and Drupada and Ashwatthama were fighting each other. Yudhistira and Shalya were fighting while Nakula and Dushshasana were fighting. None was able to win over the other. Sahadeva was fighting Shakuni. Shakuni had to flee, seeing Sahadeva's fighting skills.
Arjuna and Bhishma's war was something to see. The Gods had gathered in the skies to see the battle. Bhishma shot arrows at Arjuna, who cut those. Arjuna then cut off Bhishma's bow, who picked up another one. Bhishma then started aiming arrows at Krishna. Arjuna seeing this, cut off Bhishma's bow. Bhishma picked up another bow and Arjuna cut that too.
Krishna was wounded by Bhishma's arrows. He knew what Bhishma wanted. Bhishma and Arjuna were fighting each killing many soldiers in the other's army.
Arjuna was getting tired trying to fight off Bhishma's arrows.
Krishna becaem angry. He said he would now kill off all the Kauravas. He said I had made a promise that I will not lift a weapon. If I try to fulfill my promise, the Pandavas will be finished.
Krishna jumped off the chariot and picked up a wheel of a chariot and went to kill Bhishma with that.
Bhishma dropped his weapons and said Come O Lord and quickly make an end of me.
Seeing Krishna angry, Arjuna jumped off the chariot and caught Kirshna's hands. He said I had promised to kill Bhishma. With your grace I will fulfill that. Please return.

Krishna returned and resumed his role as the charioteer. Arjuna using divine weapons killed off many soldiers. Bhishma tried to attack but his arrows got cut off. Angry, he began killing soldiers.

The day then ended.
