'ratri ka samay tha. dirabhar ke thake hue yoddha so rahe the. santari pahara de rahe the, parantu arjun ko sab pahachanate the. kisi ne roka nahian, ve duryodhan ke pas pahuanch gaye. duryodhan ne apane param premi mitr ki bhaanti donoan ka satkar kiya aur poochha ki 'kahiye is samay ane ka kya prayojan hai?' arjun ne chitrasen se chhu dane vale din ki ghatana yad dilayi aur poochha ki 'kya apako apani bat yad hai?' duryodhan ne kaha- 'bhaee! jab tak is sharir mean pran hai, tab tak maian tumhara vah upakar nahian bhool sakata. tum kya chahate ho? kaho to abhi yuddh band kar dooan [tumhean rajyasianhasan par baitha dooan], jo tum kaho vahi karooan.' arjun ne kaha-'bhaiya! yuddh to ab ho hi raha hai, use ab band kya karana hai. rajy bhi ham apane bal-paurush se hi lena chahate haian, kisi ka diya hua dan le nahian sakate. haan, ham ek vishesh prayojan se yahaan aye haian. ap ek ghante ke liye apana rajamukut de dean, phir maian vapas de jaooanga.' duryodhan ne turant apana rajamukut arjun ko de diya. ab bhagavanh shrikrishn ne arjun ko age kiya aur svayan pichhe hue. donoan hi bhishm pitamah ke shivir mean aye. us samay pitamah baithe hue bhagavanh ka bhajan kar rahe the. arjun ne akar pranam kiya. unhoanne adhakhuli aankhoan se mukut dekhakar socha ki pratidin ki bhaanti duryodhan hi aya hoga, ashirvad diya aur arjun ke maangane par paanchoan ban bhi de diye. jab arjun ban lekar bahar nikal aye tab shrikrishn bhishm ke samane gaye.
