Maha bharata - book seven, 

After Bhishma is cut down at the end of the previous book of the Maha·bh?rata, the book which bears his name, Dury?dhana selects Drona as leader of his forces. Drona accepts the honor with Bhishmas blessing, despite his ongoing personal conflicts as mentor to both the P?ndava and K?urava heroes in their youth. The fighting rages on, with heavy losses on both sides. Furious and frustrated, Dury?dhana accuses Drona of collaborating with the enemy, but he replies that as long as ?rjuna is on the field, the P?ndavas will remain invincible. When ?rjuna is finally diverted from the main action of the battle, Yudhi·shthira entrusts ?rjunas son Abhim?nyu with the task of making a breach in the K?urava formation. Abhim?nyu rampages through Dronas army, but at last is cornered by several K?urava warriors and finally killed by Jayad·ratha.
