Chapter 1 Verse 9-13: The War is Declared!

Continuing with Duryodhana’s monologue with Drona, we see Duryodhana’s weak & self-centered personality express itself in his elaborate description of the Pandava army and the miniscule mention of his own army’s heroes. The war is declared with Bhishma’s blowing of his conch shell, and Swami Swaroopananda brings the awe-inspiring vastness of the battlefield alive in his characteristic narration style.
