mahabharat yuddh prarambh hone se poorv hi arjun apane priyajanoan ko dekhakar moh se grast ho ge, tab bhagavan shrikrishn ne unhean 'karmayog' ka upadesh diya, jo 'shrimadbhagavadh gita' ke roop mean prasiddh hai. unhoanne kaha ki- "honi pahale ho chuki hai, tumhean to keval kshatriy dharm ke anusar chalana hai. dharm palan ke lie yuddh karana hi chahie." shrikrishn ne arjun ko apana virat roop dikhate hue kaha ki- "adharm ke karan kauravoan ka nash ho chuka hai." arjun ne dekha ki samast kaurav shrikrishn ke mukh mean sama rahe haian. arjun ka moh door ho gaya tatha ve yuddh karane ke lie taiyar ho ge.
- yuddh se poorv yudhishthir rath se utarakar paidal hi pitamah bhishm ke pas ge tatha unake charanasparsh karake unhean pranam kiya. bhishm ne yudhishthir ko vijay ka arshivad diya. isi prakar yudhishthir ne kripachary aur dronachary ko bhi pranam kiya tatha vijay ka arshivad prapt kiya. yudhishthir ki dharm-niti ko dekhakar dhritarashtr ka putr yuyutsu itana prabhavit hua ki kaurav sena ko chho dakar paandavoan se ja mila.[1]
- arjun ne devadatt namak shankh bajakar yuddh praranbh kiya. dekhate-hi-dekhate ghamasan yuddh chhi d gaya. bhishm ke samane paandav sena tharra uthi. abhimanyu ne bhishm ko roka tatha unaki dhvaja ko kat diya. bhishm pitamah abhimanyu ke ran-kaushal ko dekhakar chakit the. is din yuddh mean virat ke putr uttar kumar aur shvet kramash: shaly tatha bhishm dvara viragati ko prapt hue. sandhya hote hi yuddh samapti ki ghoshana ki gee.
- pahale din ke yuddh se duryodhan bahut prasann tha. yudhishthir ne shrikrishn se kaha ki- "aj ke yuddh se pitamah ki ajeyata siddh ho gee hai." shrikrishn ne yudhishthir ko dhairy bandhaya. is din paandav kisi bhi mukhy kaurav vir ko nahian mar paye.
