Here I present you my thread on one of the most underrated warrior of Mahabharata Yudha, Samrat Yudhishtira. He fought many brave battles, he remained un defeated & was later crowned as Chakravarti Samrat.
Mahabharata scriptures mention him as a strong bowman & not spear
We all are aware that Yudhishtir had seeked blessings from his seniors like Bhisma, Drona, Kripa & Shalya on the battlefield before the war. Krishna said its his great wisdom but despite of paying his respect to his seniors, he will fiercely fight all his enemies in battle field.
Yudhishtir faced Srutayush who was the King of Kalinga who fought on Kaurava side, he was son of God Varun, a fierce warrior who attacked Yudhishtir with arrows & Yudhishtir retaliated & pierced him with his arrows
Yudhishtir was raged in anger, Gods, rakshas & gandharva trembled
Yudhishtir was raged in anger, Gods, rakshas & gandharva trembled
Yudhishtir's aggression, entire Universe was shaken, it seems Yudhishtir will consume all three worlds. Srutayush was vanquished in the combat & he fled away from the battle field. After that Yudhishtir started slaying Kaurava forces as if death himself opened his mouth wide open
Yudhishtir had many duels with mighty Bhishma, where both the warriors shot thousands of arrows at each other. Bhishma being the mighty warrior, yet couldn't defeat Yudhishtir in the battle field. Both warriors had worthy weapons of their own to counter the opponent's attack.
Bhishma alongside Drona was constantly attacking troops of Yudhishtir, this time Yudhishtir asked Ghatatkoch to lead battle. Both Bhishma & Drona were falling short in the battle field were unable to defeat Ghatatkoch & Yudhishtir's forces, hence they decided to withdraw Kauravas
After Bhishma & Drona withdrew, Duryodhan dispatched thousands of brave horseman to attack Yudhishtir, where Yudhishtir, Nakul & Sahdev started counter this attack by these horseman, they cut off their heads with thousands of arrows & those horseman started to crumble one by one
Another attack by Bhishma on Yudhishtir, where he struck him on his arm & chest with 12 arrows.
Yudhishtir also pierced by Pitamah Bhishma with 12 arrows, he was a worthy opponent to Bhishma & engaging with him, allowed Arjun to attack Kaurava forces in the battle field.
Yudhishtir also pierced by Pitamah Bhishma with 12 arrows, he was a worthy opponent to Bhishma & engaging with him, allowed Arjun to attack Kaurava forces in the battle field.
Yudhishtir met Duryodhan in the battlefield & Duryodhan had no chance against him. Yudhishtir pierced Duryodhan with his arrows & at one point Duryodhan lost all his senses. Kaurava troops were frightened looking at Yudhishtir & finally Drona had to arrive to save Duryodhan.
Once Drona arrived to shield Duryodhan, Yudhishtir got more fierce & started slaughtering the forces of Drona & Kaurava sons. With his arrows, Yudhishtir started dispatching his enemies to Yama lok. He was completely unstoppable & destroyed many opponent forces single handedly.
Now battle starts btwn Drona & Yudhishtir. Drona struck Yudhishtir with Vayavya weapon & in response Yudhishtir fired Varuna, Agneya, Yamya. Drona fired Aindra, Prajapatya, Yudhishtir countered with Mahendra Weapon
Drona fired Bramhastra, Yudhishtir countered with his Bramhastra
Drona fired Bramhastra, Yudhishtir countered with his Bramhastra
Drona was left baffled in the battlefield that all his weapons were defeated by Yudhishtir, even his Brahmastra couldn't make any impact on him. Finally, Drona decided to withdraw himself from the battle & clearly Yudhishtir had won this duel against his respected Guru Drona.
Drona Parva, there are multiple duels btwn Drona & Yudhishtir, even in this battle Yudhishtir & Bhim had surrounded Drona & his troops & Drona was completely helpless. Duryodhan had to sent additional forces to aid Drona in the battle. Yudhishtir then started slaying those forces
Yudhishtir then cut off multiple bows of Drona with his pointed arrows. Finally, Krishna intervened & advised Yudhishtir to cease the battle against his Guru. He said a King should fight with King & he should look for Duryodhan in the battlefield. Yudhishtir accepted his counsel.
Kritvarma was the commander of Narayani Sena & a Maharathi. He fought with Yudhishtir fired several arrows, broke his bow. Yudhishtir then fired several arrows, broke multiple bows & broke armour of Kritvarma. Yudhishtir fired snake like arrow which pierced right arm of Kritvarma
Yudhishtir accepted Krishna's advice to lie about Ashwatthama's death to Drona. When Drona asked, he said elephant or man, I am not sure, but Drona couldn't hear properly. Yudhishtir's special chariot was always 4 fingers above earth & chariot suddenly fell on ground due to lie
After Drona, Karna became the commander then he & Yudhishtir had multiple battles. Yudhishtir fiercely attacked Karna with arrows which sounded thunder, pierced Karna's body & his limbs. Karna fell unconscious in his chariot but regained his senses in few moments & resumed battle
Later Karna attacked Yudhishtir with Kripa & Ashwatthama. This time Karna pierced Yudhishtir's limbs & Yudhishtir had to withdraw. Rumors were raised that Yudhishtir had fallen. Words reached Arjun & Krishna, they started looking for Yudhishtir & found Yudhishtir resting in camp
Yudhishtir got angry on Arjun saying why did he leave battlefield, whr his brothers are still fighting. A fight broke btwn two. Krishna intervened & convinced Arjun, instead of fighting his brother, Arjun should take revenge on the battlefield by defeating & taking life of Karna
After receiving treatment, Yudhishtir quickly returned to the battlefield before Arjun began his battle with Karna. After Karna fell, Shalya became Kaurava Commander who single handedly started attacking Pandav forces. He possessed grt skills, striking arrows like meteors frm sky
Yudhishtir now attacked King of Madra, Shalya. Yudhishtir who was usually mild & soft, looked extremely fierce with his eyes open started slaughtering forces of Shalya in hundreds & thousands. He single handedly defeated several charioteers without any assistance frm other Pandav
Shalya attacked Yudhishtir razor sharp arrows & broke his bow. Yudhishtir then picked another bow & attacked Shalya wid his hundreds of arrows. Yudhishtir broke the bow of Shalya, then killed his charioteer, destroyed his chariot, he destroyed his multiple chariots in battlefield
Finally Yudhishtir succeeded in slaying Shalya, the commander of Kaurava army. Now the Kaurav forces started to flee away frm battlefield on horse, elephants & chariots. Yudhishtir had succeeded in defeating all his enemies. Mighty warriors like Bhishma, Drona couldn't defeat him
Yudhishtir was a strong bowman which has been mentioned in scriptures multiple times. Hard to describe everything in one thread. Do read text attached to each tweet for better understanding.

Here is the link to my thread on the Game of Dice, where I have shown with evidences that Yudhishtir was not a gambler as portrayed in public domain, nor was his decision to place Draupadi for his bet. Do read the thread to get a overview of the events.
