About this listen
Narrated by Kumar Varun.
As Yudhishthira's anxiety over Arjuna and Satyaki grows, he sends Bhima into the thick of battle, hoping for news of his brother. Bhima, unstoppable and furious, cuts through the Kaurava ranks like a storm, slaughtering eleven of Dhritarashtra’s sons and breaking through Drona’s forces with sheer power. When Drona himself tries to stop him, Bhima shows no hesitation—destroying eight of Drona’s chariots before forcing his way through. His lion’s roar echoes across Kurukshetra, reaching the ears of Arjuna and Krishna and Yudhisthira.Sources, Bibliography and Suggested further readings:1. Vyasa, Krishna-Dwaipayana.
