अध्याय ११
II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
येर चेष्टवितें जें बळ I तें मागंचि मियां ग्रासिलें सकळ I आतां कोल्हेरीचे वेताळ I तैसे निर्जीव हे आहाती II 466 II
हालविती दोरी तुटली I तरि तिये खांबावरील बाहुलीं I भलतेणें लोटिलीं I उलथोनि पडती II 467 II
तैसा सैन्याचा यया बगा I मोडतां वेळू न लगेल पैं गा I म्हणोनि उठीं उठीं वेगां I शाहाणा होईं II 468 II
तुवां गोग्रहणाचेनि अवसरें I घातलें मोहनास्त्र येकसरें I मग विराटाचेनि महाभेडें उत्तरें I आसडूनि नागविलें II 469 II
आतां हें त्याहूनि निपटारें जाहलें I निवटीं आयितें रण पडिलें I घेईं यश रिपु जिंतिले I एकलेनि अर्जुनें II 470 II
आणि कोरडें यशचि नोहे I समग्र राज्यही आलें आहे I तूं निमित्तमात्रचि होयें I सव्यसाची II 471 II
"The army once at the zenith of vigor has been reduced to a few who are also no more than potter's clay dolls. A string-controlled puppet is manipulated from above by a puppeteer who pulls wires or strings. Just like when the string breaks, the puppets lose motion, get ready Parth and lift your bow, for it won't take much time to destroy your enemy.
The story of Duryodhan stealing King Virat's cows, also known as the Virata Parva or the 'cattle raid' episode of the Mahabharat, was a tactical move by the Kauravas to force the Pandavas out of hiding and back into a twelve-year exile. When the Kuru army attacked the capital, the only person left to defend the city was Virat's young and inexperienced son, Prince Uttar. Though boastful among the women of the palace, Uttar was terrified when he saw the formidable Kuru army. With no charioteer available, Arjun agreed to be Uttara's charioteer. Once they reached the battlefield, prince Uttar lost his nerve and tried to flee, but Arjun stopped him. Arjun then revealed his true identity to the prince and retrieved his divine bow, the Gandiv, and other weapons which had been hidden. Arjun, with Uttar as his charioteer, single-handedly faced the entire Kuru army. He fought and defeated all the great Kuru warriors—Bhishma, Dronacharya, Karna, Duryodhan, and others—one by one, capturing their upper garments as souvenirs for Princess Uttara's dolls (as requested by her earlier).
Arjun used the Sammohana Astra against the Kaurav army, rendering them disoriented and causing them to drop their weapons.
Addressing Arjun Lord Krishna said, this army is much weaker than the enemy during Virat Parva, so waste no time and destroy them thus earning the glory of defeating this army singlehandedly. This is going to be no small victory because along with it you get the kingdom. So He urged Arjun to rise and fight."
