Droṇa arranged the Kaurava army in the form of the Śakaṭavyūha on the eleventh day of the war; Jayadratha, the Kaliṅga king (not named), and Vikarṇa stood on the right side (dakṣiṇa pārśva); at the extremity of the right wing (prapakṣa) was Śakuni, assisted by excellent horsemen from the Gandhāra country who fought with sharp prāsas; Kṛpa, Kṛtavarman, Citrasena, and Viviṁśati, with Duḥśāsana to lead them (duḥśāsanamukhāḥ), stood on its left side (savya pārśva); at the extremity of the left wing (prapakṣa) stood the Kāmbojas, led by Sudakṣiṇa, who fought on horses, as also the Śakas and the Yavanas; apparently in between the two sides were stationed the Madras, the Trigartas, the Ambaṣṭhas, warriors who came from the west and the north, the Śibis, the Śūrasenas, the Śūdras, the Maladas, the Sauvīras, and the Kitavas, all of whom were led by Duryodhana (tavātmajaṁ puraskṛtya); Karṇa took position in front of Duryodhana and was at the head of all the archers (pramukhe sarvadhanvinām) 7. 6. 1-8; in this Vyūha, Karṇa was in front of the army (tāvakānāṁ mukhaṁ karṇaḥ) 7. 6. 21; from the description of the start of that day's battle it is clear that Droṇa also stood at the head of the army 7. 6. 32-36; this Vyūha of the Kauravas was opposed by the Pāṇḍavas with the Krauñcavyūha 7. 6. 15. [See Cakraśakaṭa ]
