All warriors were bearing the pains sprcaded by the arrows released from Bhishma's bow in battle-field. Those arrows had created fear of death in the mind of all those warriors. That battle was most fierce, thrilling and arousing anxiety in the hearts of all. Any father in that battle was so lost of recognition as his own son was beyond the same.
भीष्मचापच्युतैर्बाणैरार्तानां युध्यतां मृधे॥ परस्परेषां वीराणां मनांसि समकम्पयन्। तस्मिन्नत्याकुले युद्धे दारुणे लोमहर्षणे॥ पिता पुत्रं च समरे नाभिजानाति कश्चन।
