Mahabharat

Tomorrow herein

I shall step onto the battlefield

as an undeterred warrior.

With only triumph, clenching my mind.

Sanjay, today grandsire

shall obliterate the Pandavas' army.

Assume that today, is the final day of the war.

My sons shall emerge victorious

while the Pandavas will concede defeat.

Tell me. What is happening on the battlefield?

The Pandava warriors are cooking up a battle formation, my King.

Commander Dhrishtadyumna.

You, along with elder brother shall confront Duryodhan

at the centerfield of the battlefield.

Bhima, Nakula, Sahadev.

Attack the forces of the Kaurava, from the west.

It's your foremost responsibility

to rebuff Lord Dronacharya.

King Virat, Abhimanyu and I

shall entice grandsire into battle.

Brother, attack Duryodhan

the moment is vulnerable.

Soldiers, get to your respective positions

at the earliest.

The battle formation is about to commence.

Praise the lord!

Praise the lord!

Praise the lord!

Praise the lord!

Grandsire, declare the battle formations to begin.

You had urged that you would decimate the Pandava's army.

Incentives are not achieved by formations

but by a sense of purpose, Prince Duryodhan.

Why hasn't grandsire created a formation, yet?

What if, like the first day

he is planning to attack our army from both sides?

No, Arjun.

Grandsire is a distinguished General.

The formations, which his enemies can comprehend

he will never put up with the same strategy again.

Moreover

war needs a formation

decimate doesn't have one.

Lord Dronacharya, you will stay at the end of the battlefield.

And shall protect Prince Duryodhan.

Prince Duryodhan!

You had questioned my sense of duty.

Today, you shall view with your own eyes

how I carry through, my obligation.

Let's move, my friend.

Grandsire!

It's not your Grandsire, Arjun.

It's Kaurava's accomplished general.

The proficient follower of duty.

The saviour of traditions.

Lord Bhishma!

Pandava!

Get ready, to engage with Bhishma.

Your army, will not be allowed to surrender

nor could they take off from the battlefield.

On this battlefield

the only thing they

could partake in, is death.

'The third day of war.'

Lord Bhishma had caused us great many casualties.

With just nine attacks

he annihilated two battalions of our soldiers.

I could feel for a while

that we weren't facing off against the grandsire

rather the Lord of Death, was present.

Pertaining yesterdays' involvement, I thought

Grandsire was against the Kauravas.

I thought he would hold off our onslaught.

But wouldn't attack us in return.

What could have changed his mind?

His perception has changed, Sahadev.

Fingers were raised against his sense of duty.

Henceforth,

he is ready to embrace death

or embark upon, to take up ours.

Hereafter, from today, our only objective

is the death of grandsire.

'Fourth day of the war.'

Your Grace, we just have four battalions of soldiers left.

In just a day, Lord Bhishma had thumped our forces.

And this is just the fourth day of war.
