Then (one Akshauhini of Army comprises of 21870 chariots, 21870 elephants, 65610 horses and 109350 men.) akshauhinis of the Kauravas army was arranged in Vyuha (battle array) and one akshauhini was under the direct control of Bhishma. He could be a source of danger to Bhishma. We should pay special attentions to kill Shikhandi. He alone is capable of destroying the entire army of the Pandavas led by Dhristadhyumna. All the chariots and warriors should be placed in such a position to Bhishma. He told Dussashan, ‘take care to protect our grandsire, Bhishma. (After this the entire account of the war is as related by Sanjaya to the blind king Dhritarastra)ĭuryodhana was busy arranging his troops in a battle array. The omens are all against the Kauravas." Saying this the great sage departed. He shall be even able to know the thoughts of the persons engaged in the war. He will be able to see during the day as well as in the night. Vyasa said, Sanjaya would get the power to see everything that happens in the war.
If someone can give me an account of the war as it unfolds, I shall be happy. I do not want to see my sons dying in the battlefield. He said, ‘My lord, I have been blind all my life. Dhritarastra was shaken by the stark words of the sage. I shall grant you your eyesight so that you may witness the war. All your sons and the kings will be killed soon. On the eve of the war, sage Vyasa visited the palace of Dhritarastra, who was his son, now the terrible days are in store.
These and some other rules that were usual in a Dharma-Yuddha or a righteous war were finalised and both the sides agreed to abide by them. Those who surrender, there lives will be spared, No charioteer, animal, or servants who were not soldiers were to be attacked. Only equals will fight in personal duels. The warriors of both the sides met and settled the rules of the war.
Blowing of conches raised a great tumult and beating of drums and many other instruments were sounded to announce the readiness for the war. The soldiers started warning up at the thought of the battle ahead. A white royal umbrella was seen in the Kauravas army. The Pandavas army took the western side of the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
