English translation

A fierce battle between the Kauravas and the Yadava heroes; Balarama and Krishna appearing and reconciling them.

Srinardji says - Rajan! There was a great commotion when Duryodhana left. Then Ganganananda Devavrata Bhishma immediately arrived and, seeing the Yadavas, repeatedly bowed down and incinerated the Yadava army in the same manner as if a burning wildfire had burned a forest. 1-2.

Bhishmaji was the greatest among all the Dharmadharis, the greatest devotee of Bhagavad, the scholar, and the foremost of the heroic community. He also delivered six sixes to Parashurama in the battle. A helmet and a crown adorned his head. His penis was a gourd. The hair on the beards and moustaches had turned white. He was the grandfather of the Kairavas but looked like a sixteen-year-old man roaming the battlefield by force. He killed the huge army of Aniruddha with his arrows. The heads of the elephants were cut off, the necks of the horses fell off. The foot warriors, armed with swords and arrows, were cut into two pieces. Bhishma also crushed the chariots by killing their charioteers, horses, and chariots. Princes who had their legs amputated turned upside down. With swords and bows in their hands, the warriors collapsed due to amputations in their arms. Some soldiers' armor was torn off and they fell to the ground lifeless. The fallen gold-plated heroes, horses, chariots, and elephants adorned the battlefield like a forest with cut-down trees. The king. That battlefield icon appears to be the same as the Pandemic. The weapons seemed to be her teeth, her arrowheads, her flagstaff, her clothes, and her tresses. The wheels of the chariots were visible from the ringing of his ears. 3 - 9. (Vishwajitkhand chapter 21 to 25)

There, the river, revealed by the bloodshed, began to flow at a rapid pace. It also carried chariots, horses, and humans. That bloodstream had become as inaccessible to humans as Vaitarani. Kushmanda, Manama, and Baitalagana came chanting Bhairava and collected the male monkeys from there to make Rudra's garland. Seeing her army fall in the battlefield, the great archer Shiromani Aniruddha mounted a chariot with a very large flag and proceeded to confront Bhishma. The king! With a single arrow, Pradyugranandan Aniruddha cut the arch of Bhishma's bow into two pieces, similar to how Garuda cut a serpent into two pieces with his sharp beak, making a soothing sound similar to the eerie thunderbolt that erupted from the ocean during the Puranic period. Manasvi Bhishma then took the second bow, placed an oath of allegiance on it, and placed the Brahmastra on it in public view on the battlefield. It appeared to be much faster than that. Seeing this, Madhava Aniruddha also arranged the Brahmastra himself to protect his army. The two Brahmastra became as bright as twelve suns and fought each other. Aniruddha then abolished both the weapons capable of burning the three worlds. At the same time, Aniruddha, the Yadukulatilaka, cut the radiant bow of Ganga Nandana Bhishma in the same way as the sun destroys the fog with its rays. Bhishma then wielded a million-heavy, sturdy mace on Aniruddha and roared like a lion. Just as Garuda captured a serpent with his claws, Lord Aniruddha captured Bhishma's donkey with his left hand and placed his mace on his chest with his right hand. Disturbed by the mace's blow, Ganganananda Bhishma fell from the chariot, speechless. In that battlefield, they looked like the sun falling from the sky. Mahatma Aniruddha, who was then standing there, was suddenly struck with power by Kripacharya. At that time, his eyes were burning with rage. O Lord! That power was cut off on the way by Deepti Mana, the son of Krishna (before reaching Aniruddha), with his sharp-edged sword, as if someone had severed the friendship with a bitter word. Filled with fury, Mahabahu Dronacharya then used the parvatastra on Bhanu, repeatedly bows and arrows. Huge mountains began to fall from the sky, crushing the enemy forces. Rajendra! The fall of those mountains caused great consternation in the Yadava army. 10-25 |

Then Srikrishnaputra Bhanu used the North Western weapon. A great storm appeared from it, and all the mountains were blown away from the battlefield. On the same occasion, angry outsiders used firearms, which started burning the enemy army like a huge forest from the wildfire. Seeing this, Jambavatinandan Samba used a rainbow weapon in the battlefield, by which the fire was quenched like an ego with knowledge. Filled with fury, Karna then released Madhu and shot twenty arrows at Sambak. Then he roared like a mighty mighty cloud. Wounded by his arrows, the Samba with the chariot went around for two hours. Then, in a moment of distress, a kosha fell away. Then they left the chariot and came to the battlefield with the mace. Jambavathikumar Sambane with that donkey hurt Karna deeply. The king. Suffering from the injury, Karna, the hero of Mahabali, fell to earth and was wiped out in the battlefield. Samba also took his bow and rode at great speed on another chariot. He wounded Shulko with twenty arrows and Somadatta with five. The king! Not only this, but they also wounded Drona's son Ashwatthama with ten arrows, Dhaumya with sixteen arrows, Lakshmana with ten arrows, Shakunika with five, Dushasana with twenty, Sanjaya with twenty, Bhurishrava with a hundred, and Yajna Keta with a hundred sharp arrows in the battlefield. Then the mighty warriors began to roar like a cloud. Samba then wounded the charioteers with ten arrows each, the elephants and horses one by one, and the other heroes with five arrows each. Jambavathikumar Sambaka saw the handshake and was amazed at himself and all the soldiers of the enemy. At the same time, Bhishma got up, took his best bow in his hand, and shot ten arrows, severing Samba's best staff. Mahabali's heroes Bhishma, Dronacharya, and Karna then began to inflict immediate blows on the Yadava army in the same way that the three gunas destroyed knowledge when provoked. 26-39 |

The Honorable Duryodhana mounted a chariot and returned to the battle. He was accompanied by an army of ten akshauhins, which made a great noise. Mithileshwar! At that time, the Puranas, Deveshwar Balarama and Krishna, appeared there. Balarama's chariot was adorned with Taladhvaja and Krishna's chariot was adorned with Garuda Dhvaja. The two brothers were illuminating all directions with their divine light. At that time, the gods raised their voices in joy. The main main Gandharva began to sing Manohar songs. The gods and goddesses began to sound the bells and cymbals, and the gods and goddesses began to shower khol (lava) and flowers. At the same time, the Yaduvanshis began to bow at the feet of the heroic Gods Balarama and Krishna. The Kauravas, such as Duryodhana, began to make excellent sacrifices to the Kauravas by placing weapons on all sides. Everyone was happy and everyone had their hands together. Parameshwara Srihari scolded his drunken sons Pradyumna and others, and after bowing down to Bhishma and the Kauravas, they met Duryodhana and spoke thus. 40-45 | (Vishwajitkhand chapter 21 to 25)

Sri Balarama and Sri Krishna said, "Rajan! Forgive these childish Yadavs for what they have done; do not feel sorrow in your heart. Nripesvara. Whatever harsh things these people have said, let it be said to both of us. The king! The Yadavas and the Kauravas should never have an altercation on this ground floor. These are all interrelated and cognate. We are each other's sweethearts like Dhoti and Uttari. 46-47 |

Naradji says - Maithileshwar! Deveshwar Balaram and Shrikrishna Pradyumna, who were continuously worshipped and served by the Kauravas, along with the Yadavas, were highly decorated there. 48.

Thus was completed the twenty-first chapter in the Narada Bahulashva-Samvad under the Vishwajit Khanda in the Srigargha Samhita, titled 'The Meeting between the Yadavas and the Kauravas'. 21.
