In Bhishma Parva's latter half, war's fury abounds,
Bhishma's might falter as Arjun surrounds.
With Shikhandi as shield, Arjun takes his stand,
Bhishma falls, pierced by arrows, across the land.
In Drona Parva's early sections, seen Drona's might,
As commander, leading Kauravas into war's light.
With a vow to capture Yudhishthira in his sight,
Drona uses celestial weapons, day and night.
Arjun's battle with Samsaptakas unfolds with pride,
Destroying their army, yet side by side.
The tragic death of Abhimanyu will forever be told,
A young warrior's fate, forever to be cold.
