Reading Comprehension (Unseen) Passage Set - 18
Krisna's song had changed Arjuna's perspective of the battlefield. This was not Kurukshetra, where war was about property or vengeance. This was Dhrma-Kshetra, where Arjuna would triumph over his fear, guilt and rage. Arjuna picked up his magnificent bow, the Gandiva, and requested Krishna to take him towards the enemy lines. As the chariot rolled, Arjuna's banner with the image of Hanuman fluttered against the blue sky. The deep sound of Devdutt, Arjuna's conch-shell, filled the air, joined by the sound of Panchajanya, Krishna's conch-shell. Together, they announced the start of the war. Far away, in the place of Hastina-puri, the blind king and his blindfolded wife heard Sanjay describe the scene thus : ‘Then commenced the battle between your sons and your nephews, O monarch, which was as fierce and awful as the battle between the Devas and the Asuras. Men and crowds of chariots and elephants, and elephant-warriors and horsemen by thousands, and steeds, all possessed of great prowess, encountered one another.
