Gandhari goes to the battlefield

It was a horrible sight at the battlefield. Vultures were flying everywhere. Jackals and Dogs were tearing at the flesh of the dead.
People looked around for the bodies of their departed ones. Some recognized the body parts, some saw the bodies and some could find the bodies at all.
There were dead animals and chariots and many jewels were scattered there.
After some time, Gandhari was able to spot Duryodhana. She swooned seeing her dead son. People thought she had died. Krishna, Satyaki and the Pandavas raised her and revived her.
Seeing Krishna, Gandhari said See, there is Duryodhana. Where is Karna? Why is not here with him? Where is Shakuni? Where are Bhishma and Drona? He who had never lain on a hard bed, why does he lie on the bare ground? Get up son. Bhima and Arjuna are calling for a fight.
Krishna said Do no grieve. Your sons have what they deserved. Go with the Pandavas now.
