The armies met on a vast field in [[Kurukshetra]] and each day of the battle was characterised by numerous individual combats as well as mass raids against entire enemy divisions. The victor or the vanquished on each day was determined not by any territories gained, but by the body count. This was a war to the death. The victor was the survivor.
