This battle was under the instruction of Sri Krisna and Arjuna.Gatotkaca who is the son of Bimasena was fighting very bravely. The purpose of this fight was to tease Prabu Karno in order that he used his weapon Kunta, a very powerful weapon that could one be used once, and it was to be used to kill Arjuna. Prabu Karno tried again and again to harm Gatutkaca but he failed because Gatutkaca always hid himself behind the cloud. His effort finally succeeded, Prabu Karno finally lost his patience and used his killing weapon ti kill Gatutkaca. Gatutkaca died an honorable dead and Prabu Karno lost his weapon for killing Arjuna. In the next episode of the story Prabu Karno was killed by Arjuno.
