Asvatthama suddenly appears in the mournful atmosphere of the battlefield and pledges that he will begin war in the night, causing all the Pandavas to burn to death.
Balram says to Duryodhan that nobody can stop Asvatthama, when he has once decided to destroy the Pandavas. The god of Death has sent the aerial car drawn by a thousand swans, to fetch the brave to the heavens. |
