THE COURSE OF WAR:
On the third day of the war, Bisma instructed korawa troops to form an eagle formation with themselves as commanders were on the front line while duryodana soldiers protected the back row.
Bisma wants to avoid failure again. Meanwhile, the Pandavas anticipate it by forming a crescent moon formation with Bima and Arjuna as right and left wing leaders. Korawa's army focuses its attack on Arjuna. Then Arjuna's train was overrun by various arrows and spears. With his great finesse, Arjuna fortified his chariot with countless streams of arrows. Abimanyu and Satyaki combine forces to destroy Sangkuni's Gandara army.
Bima and his son, Gatotkaca, attacked Duryodana who was in the back row. Bima's arrow sped towards Duryodana who swooped on his train. The train driver immediately took him away from the battle. Duryodana's army saw its leader stay away from the fight.
Bisma saw this and told the troops to be on standby and reshape the formation, then Duryodana came back and led his army. Duryodana is angry with Bisma for still being reluctant to attack the Pandavas. Bisma then regains consciousness and changes his feelings for the Pandavas.
Arjuna and Krishna try to attack Bisma. Arjuna and Bisma are once again involved in a violent fight, although Arjuna still feels unable and reluctant to fight his grandfather. Krishna became very angry with the situation and said, "I can no longer be patient, I will kill Bisma with my own hands," then he took a line of chakra and ran towards Bisma.
