Core and Pancharatra: Description of Ghatotkacha. Witnessing the fierce battle with illusions, the distressed Kaurava army fled away. Only Karna is able to withstand the illusion and agility of Ghatotkacha, and that too with considerable effort. In the process, Ghatotkacha is playing with Karna's mind by saying - "Stand now, son of a charioteer, you shall not leave alive. Today, I will destroy your faith in battle on the battlefield."
