MISCONCEPTION - SIX KAURAVA MAHARATHIS WERE SUCCESSFUL IN STOPPING ARJUNA DURING JAYADRATH WADH.
These days blorndies are making people fool.They are claiming that the six so called Kaurava Maharathis,viz,Karna,Ashwathama,Salya,Vrishasena,Duryodhan,Kripacharya were successful in stopping Arjuna from reaching Jayadrath.Lets Puncture this claim of Blorndies.
Please Note:As per the Critical Edition,Krishna faking sunset using illusion is a later addition so if we take CE into consideration then there is no point about Arjuna not reaching Jayadrath.
However Blorndies find it difficult to believe CE,so lets quote from their favourite KMG Translation-
I won't be quoting about Arjuna destroying seven Kaurava Akshaunis and defeating/killing many Kuru warriors,lets come straight to the point.
>> KRISHNA'S PLAN -
Lord Krishna says that he will have to resort to Yoga so that Jayadrath comes out who is currently concealing himself.
Narrative:
Without vanquishing those six car-warriors in battle, O bull among men, thou wilt never be able to slay the ruler of the Sindhus even if thou exertest thyself without intermission. I shall, therefore, resort to Yoga for shrouding the sun. Then the ruler of the Sindhus will (in consequence) behold the sun to have set. Desirous of life, O lord, through joy that wicked wight will no longer, for his destruction, conceal himself. Availing yourself of that opportunity, thou shouldst then, O best of the Kurus, strike him.
*** Here Krishna clearly says that when he fakes Sunset,Jayadrath will no longer conceal himself.
>> HOWEVER THIS PLAN DIDN'T WORKED,NEITHER JAYADRATH COMES OUT AS KRISHNA SAID,NOR THE SUNSET CAUSED ANY ELEMENT OF SURPRISE DUE TO WHICH THE KURUS LOST.ARJUNA STILL HAD TO DEFEAT THOSE SIX MAHARATHIS TO KILL JAYADRATH -
Narrative:
Then Krishna otherwise called Hari, possessed of ascetic powers, that lord of all ascetics, having taken recourse to Yoga, created that darkness. Thy warriors, O king, thinking the sun to have set were filled with delight at the prospect of Partha's laying down his life. Indeed, thy warriors, not seeing the sun, were filled with gladness. All of them stood, with heads thrown backwards. King Jayadratha also was in the same attitude. And while the ruler of the Sindhus was thus beholding the sun, Krishna, once more addressing Dhananjaya said these words, 'Behold, the heroic ruler of the Sindhus is now looking at the sun, casting off his fear of thee, O foremost one among the Bharatas!
*** HERE WE CAN READ THAT KURU WARRIORS WERE FILLED WITH DELIGHT BUT NOWHERE WRITTEN THAT THEY REMOVED OR LEFT JAYADRATH UNPROTECTED.NEITHER JAYADRATH COMES OUT OF THE PROTECTION OF THESE SIX MAHARATHIS.HE WAS ONLY LOOKING AT THE SUN, NOTHING MORE.
>> ARJUNA VANQUISHES ALL THE SIX MAHARATHIS SINGLE HANDEDLY,LOL
Narrative:
Thus addressed by Kesava the valiant son of Pandu began to slaughter thy host with his arrows resembling the sun or fire in splendour. And he pierced Kripa with twenty arrows and Karna with fifty. And he struck Salya and Duryodhana each with six. And he pierced Vrishasena with eight arrows and the ruler of the Sindhus himself with sixty. And the mighty-armed son of Pandu, O king, deeply piercing with his arrows the other warriors of thy host, rushed against Jayadratha. Beholding him in their presence like a swelling fire with its tongue of flame outstretched, the protectors of Jayadratha were sorely puzzled.(ALL KURU WARRIORS ATTACK ARJUNA HERE) Then all the warriors, O king, desirous of victory bathed the son of Indra in that battle with torrents of arrows. Shrouded with incessant showers of arrows, the son of Kunti, that mighty-armed and unvanquished descendant of Kuru, became filled with rage. Then that tiger among men, viz., the son of Indra, desirous of slaughtering thy host, created a thick net of arrows.
>> ALL THE SIX MAHARATHIS FLED AND THEY FLED IN SUCH A WAY THAT NO TWO COULD BE SEEN FLYING TOGETHER LOL,WHAT SARCASM BY VYAS...NOT EVEN A SINGLE WARRIOR WHO NOT STRUCK BY ARJUN'S ARROWS -
Narrative:
Then those warriors of thine, O king, thus slaughtered in battle by that hero, abandoned the ruler of the Sindhus in fear and fled away. And they fled away in such a manner that no two persons could be seen flying together. The prowess that we then beheld of Kunti's son was extremely wonderful. Indeed, the like of what that illustrious warrior then did had never been nor will ever be. Like Rudra himself slaughtering creatures, Dhananjaya slaughtered elephants and elephant-riders, horses and horse-riders, and (car-warriors and) car-drivers. I did not in that battle, O king, see a single elephant or steed or human warrior that was not struck with Partha's shafts.
>> THEY ALL WERE STRUCK SO BADLY THAT THEIR VISION BECAME BLURRED,THEY COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING,COULD NOT EVEN DISTINGUISH EACH OTHER -
Narrative:
Their vision blurred by dust and darkness, thy warriors became perfectly cheerless and unable to distinguish one another. Urged on by fate and with their vital limbs cut open and mangled with shafts, they began to wander or, limp, or fall down. And some amongst them, O Bharata, became paralysed and some became deathly pale.
>> ARJUNA DESTROYS THE CHARIOT STANDARD AND KILLS THE CHARIOTEER OF JAYADRATH IN PRESENCE OF SIX MAHARATHIS -
Narrative:
Then Arjuna, baffling the keen arrows sped by the ruler of the Sindhus, cut off at the same time, with a pair of shafts, the head of Jayadratha's driver and the well-decked standard also of Jayadratha. Its stay cut off and itself pierced and struck with arrows, that standard fell down like a flame of fire
>> THE SIX MAHARATHIS RETURN,BUT ARJUNA AGAIN DEFEATS THEM ALL
Routing thy host thus, O king, Dhananjaya began to strike with terrible shafts the protectors of the ruler of the Sindhus with his arrowy showers, Karna and Drona's son and Kripa and Salya and Vrishasena and Duryodhana. So quick was he in the use of weapons that no one could mark when Arjuna took out his arrows, when he fixed them on the bowstring, when he stretched---the bow and let them off. Indeed, while striking the foe, his bow was seen incessantly drawn to a circle. His arrows also were seen incessantly issuing out of his bow and scattered in all directions. Then cutting off Karna's bow as also of Vrishasena's, Arjuna felled Salya's driver from his niche in the car, with a broad-headed arrow. With many arrows that foremost of victors, viz., Dhananjaya, then deeply pierced in that battle Kripa and Aswatthaman, related as uncle and nephew to each other.

***Note: Lord Krishna faking sunset has been removed by BORI,if you read this chapter carefully then the role of sunset would really seem to be confusing and misleading,Sunset didn't worked like Krishna planned or rather the interpolator planned.BORI makes much more sense here.
PS - DAY 14 OF KURUKSHETRA WAS THE WORST DAY FOR OUR LORDY,BELOW ARE THE REASON -
