The war has begun the ladies stayed in the Kururashtra and aided wounded soldiers and warriors. Rajmata Kunti also came and stayed at their tents.

The army of Pandavas was less than that of Kauravas so the pandavas have to do as much destruction as possible, thus Sagarika suggested Yuddhistir to go for Vajra Vyuh.

In this formation, all maha-rathis are situated at the centre of the squared formation and are surrounded by infantry from all sides.

The tents were bustling and busy as the injured and wounded warriors kept coming in. Maharani Sudeshna and Uttara kept making the medicinal paste, which Nakul and Sehdev got from Ashwini Kunaras which heal any wound in an instant.

Draupadi and Kunti applied the paste on the wounded soldiers. Sagarika oversaw everything as Senapti-Bharya, she made sure there were enough beds and medicines and whether they were given to the soldier in need.

"Maharani Sudeshna ! We need more medicines !" Sagarika said entering the medical tent.

"Here you go !" Sudeshna said giving her the paste.

Sagarika quickly ran towards Draupadi giving her the paste.

"Senapti-Bharya ! More soldiers are coming !" A dasi informed.

"Arrange the beds !" Sagarika said.

"It seems as though the Pandavas are falling weak against the Kauravas." Draupadi said worriedly applying the paste on the wounded soldier.

"Probably yes." Sagarika said frowning.

"But how can this be possible ? You got the knowledge of warfare from Lord Kartik himself." Kunti said.

"Mata, I have knowledge but Pitamah Bhism has experience. I am afraid all my knowledge of warfare shall fail against his experience." Sagarika said.

"Pitamah keeps the strength to annihilate the entire Pandav army at once !" Draupadi said worriedly.

"He wouldn't do it putri, he surely is on the Kaurav side but he still supports us." Kunti assured.

"Let us hope he doesn't change his mentality." Sagarika said.

Suddenly they heard the sound of Shankh-Naag, this meant the battle for the day was over and all warriors shall retire. Only they could retire, the ladies now had more work as more soldiers would come in. And they also had to aid their husbands now.

Draupadi, Sagarika and Kunti made their way towards the front of tent where Uttara and Maharani Sudeshna was already present.

The Pandavas came with sad and grieve look on their faces. The ladies understand that they lost the war but there was something more to it, this not just due to their defeat.

Draupadi worriedly looked for her children, she sighed in relief as she all the Upapandavas and Abhimanyu were alright. They all came near them and moved aside. The ladies were shocked seeing Abhimanyu carrying Uttar's body.

"UTTAR !!" Uttara screamed, she fell on her knees, Sagarika held her as Uttara cried on her shoulder.

Maharani Sudeshna froze in spot seeing the dead body of his son and then fainted. Draupadi and Kunti caught her in time.

Uttar was given a warrior's funeral, tears fell from the eyes of Pandavas remembering his sacrifice to save Yuddhistir. If not they would have lost the war today itself.

"Mata my brother...." Uttara cried hugging Sagarika.

"The dynasty of Pandu shall always be indebted to Uttar till the end of time. He died a warrior's death, he got the first martyr." Sagarika consoled her.

At night Sagarika was in Abhimanyu's tent applying medicine on his wounds.

"How did you get so many wounds ?" Sagarika asked.

"Today I fought with Pitamah Bhism." Abhimanyu said proudly. Sagarika deadpanned him and then lightly hits his head.

"I told not to pull such dangerous stunts !" Sagarika scolded.

"But Choti Maa I had no such intentions but was left with no choice. Pitamah was coming for Tatshree Yuddhistir." Abhimanyu said. Sagarika sighed shaking her head.

"Hail you both ! Samrat had asked for Senapti-Bharya." A dasi informed.

"I am coming. Abhimanyu you take care of Uttara." Sagarika said.

"Surely Maa." Abhimanyu said.

Sagarika washed her hands and then made their way towards the tent of Yuddhistir where everyone was planning for the strategy for next day.

"Sagarika we were waiting for you." Yuddhistir said.

"Senapati Drishtadyum, what's the situation of our soldiers ?" Sagarika asked.

"The soldiers are losing faith on us due to today's defeat. They have one question in mind that if we are on side of Dharma and if this is the war for Dharma then why are we being defeated ?" Drishtadyumn said.

"The matter of victory and defeat are the two sides of a coin. If we lost today then we can win tomorrow as the war is not yet over." Krishna said.

"Sagarika suggest a Vyuh so that we can win tomorrow." Bheem said.

"Bhrata Bheem, as long as Pitamah and Guru Dron are there on the battlefield, emerging victorious is nearly impossible." Sagarika said.

"There is only one way now, we have to keep Pitamah Bhism away from the battlefield and Guru Dron occupied. For now Sagarika suggest a good vyuh." Krishna said.

"Senapti-Bharya, our soldier are very less compared to them but wr need a Vyuh that will annihilate a good portion of their army." Drishtadyumn said.

Sagarika thought for a while and then a Vyuh came in her mind.

"There is one Vyuh in my mind we can use. This Vyuh is aggressive in nature, it can cut right through the enemy's army and its side can leave the enemy's army in total disarray." Sagarika said.

"This is exactly what we need ! What's the name of the Vyuh ?" Arjun asked.

"The Krounch Vyuh." Sagarika said.
