Yudhishthira'S Fond Hope

1) Yudhishthira expresses concern to Bhima about Arjuna and Satyaki's wellbeing as he can hear Krishna's conch but not the twang of Arjuna's bow. 2) Bhima assures Yudhishthira not to worry and offers to go check on Arjuna and Satyaki. 3) Dhrishtadyumna also promises to protect Yudhishthira from Drona while Bhima goes to help Arjuna. Bhima then fights through the Kaurava forces to reach Arjuna.
