What is the truth behind Krishna's magic of hiding the Sun during Jayadratha Vadh?

What is the truth behind Krishna's magic of hiding the Sun during Jayadratha Vadh? The truth behind the magic was ..it did not happen at all. Many times I answered the questions related to this,still I feel the need to answer the same question.. There was no magic of Krishna that brought about Saindhava’s death. Krishna did not cover the Sun as per Bori and I strongly believe there is no need to do so. Jayadhratha was right before Arjuna and the Maharadhis Of protective ring could not stop him or drive him away. Still time is there for the sun to set.

Its stay cut off and itself pierced and struck with arrows, that standard fell down like a flame of fire. After Arjuna cut off Jayadhratha’s standard and killed his driver ,then Arjuna was alerted by Krishna by telling the story of Vriddhakshatra . etasminneva kAle tu drutaM gachChati bhAskare | abravItpANDavaM tatra tvaramANo janArdanaH || 15|| dhana~njaya shirashChindhi saindhavasya durAtmanaH | astaM mahIdharashreShThaM yiyAsati divAkaraH || 16| On seeing the Sun about to go down Krishna said.. O Dhananjaya, quickly cut off the head of the wicked-souled ruler of the Sindhus! The sun is about to get at the mountain of Asta. Listen, however, to the words I say about the slaughter of Jayadratha. Where is the necessity to hide the sun? Jayadhratha was before Arjuna,his driver killed,his standard cut off. The protectors were already thrashed severely multiple times .. They could not stop Arjuna from killing Jayadhratha’s driver.. On second thoughts how could they stop him? He made his horses drink water before their eyes. No one stopped him from doing so ..he fought standing on the ground all the while. Krishna told him where to place the head and the reason..Enough time for all this.. And Arjuna could immediately get into action and he did. There ended the matter..Arjuna’s vow fulfilled. Removing the part of so called magic of hiding the sun,Critical Edition did the right thing… So no magic..no feigning Sunset..Everything done before sunset.
