Ebook: The Mahabharata

The sixth volume completes Drona Parva and features the deaths of Abhimanyu, Jayadratha, Ghakotkacha and Drona. The Narayana weapon is released at Arjuna, following which Bhagadatta is killed. Some of the most ferocious fighting in the Kurukshetra war takes place in Drona Parva, specifically, in this volume. At the close of this volume, the war is virtually over and Karna assumes the mantle of commander-in-chief after Drona’s death.
