Vannakam,

In the K.M. Ganguli translation of the mahabharata I am reaching the end of the Bhishma Parva and have just entered the tenth day of the battle in which Bhishma perishes.

To anyone else who has read this translation, I cannot remember the instance where Duryodhana asks for the five golden arrows meant to slay the pandavas. I read about this event occurring during the battle but as far as I can remember it did not happen.

If someone knows where this is the Ganguli translation it would be much appreciated. It's a minor point I know, but it is a key moment in the battle that ultimately leads to Bhishma's demise.

Namaste
