Explanation

Jayadratha received a boon from Lord Shiva that enabled him to defeat the four Pandava brothers (except Arjuna) for one day. On the day of Abhimanyu's entry into the Chakravyuha, Jayadratha used this boon to block Yudhishthira, Bhima, Nakula, and Sahadeva from following Abhimanyu. Dushashana, Shakuni, and Ashwathama were present but not responsible for blocking the Pandavas.
