But. That didn't stop him before The stocks

11:36

Then. The. word about a

11:40

the tent and the warriors scrambled to

11:43

defend themselves slipped a sore thumb i

11:45

was in bombings are both like that

11:47

himself speak to them in dissimilar to

11:49

decide to see that can killed by

11:51

two pots are just senses of armor

11:53

that was a sore thumb our continued

11:55

his rampage you said the camps do

11:57

then went to the stable unfilled the

12:00

horse of an elephant without any mercy.

12:03

Finally, when there was nobody left to

12:05

challenge him, Aswatava

12:07

walked out of the camp, mounted

12:10

his horse, and along

12:13

with Kripacharya and Kritavarma, rode

12:16

back towards the Dvipayan lake, where

12:19

Duryodhana lay wounded. Duryodhana

12:25

was still alive. Aswatava

12:27

arrived, and

12:29

the speaking of the dog was frantically

12:32

trying to shoo away the hungry

12:34

predators. Aswatava

12:37

knelt before him and said, My

12:40

king, I wasn't able to

12:42

kill the Pandavas, but

12:44

I have killed the five sons

12:47

of Draupadi. I

12:49

have also killed Rishta Doona and many

12:51

other Panchal and Pandava warriors. I

12:55

know this is not enough, but at least I

12:57

could avenge my father. Duryodhana

13:02

was overjoyed to hear this. You

13:06

have achieved what

13:08

our great warriors like Bhishma,

13:11

Drona and Karuna have failed

13:13

to achieve. He said, trying

13:16

hard to raise his head. Now,

13:20

now I can die

13:22

in peace. And

13:27

then Duryodhana stopped

13:29

speaking and dropped dead

13:32

on the banks of the lake. The

13:38

messengers ran to Yudhishthir and delivered the terrible

13:40

news of the massacre. Yudhishthir's

13:43

knees buckled and

13:46

collapsed to the ground unconscious. His

13:49

brothers, overwhelmed with grief, gathered

13:51

around and tried to console him.

13:56

A little later, Yudhishthir

13:58

regained consciousness. graciousness,

14:01

tears rolling down his eyes.

14:04

He said, We

14:07

won the war, yet, yet

14:10

we lost. Our

14:13

sons escaped the wrath of

14:15

great warriors like Bhishma, Dronan,

14:18

Karna, but Sakam

14:21

to Aswatama. It

14:23

is our fault that we left him alive.

14:28

I don't know how Draupadi is

14:30

going to take this news. Nakul,

14:32

you go and fetch Draupadi to

14:34

the camp. The rest of

14:36

us will leave right now. Hey,

14:42

I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked Mint

14:44

Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies

14:46

are allowed to raise prices due to

14:48

inflation. They said yes. And then when

14:50

I asked if raising prices technically violates

14:52

those onerous two-year contracts, they said, what

14:54

the f*** are you talking about, you

14:56

insane Hollywood a*****e? So to recap, we're

14:59

cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to

15:12

I'm just the professional your small business was

15:14

looking for. But you didn't hire me because

15:16

you didn't use LinkedIn jobs. LinkedIn has professionals

15:19

you can't find anywhere else, including those who

15:21

aren't actively looking for a new job, but

15:23

might be open to the perfect role, like

15:25

me. In a given month, over 70% of

15:28

LinkedIn users don't visit other leading

15:31

job sites. So if you're not

15:33

looking on LinkedIn, you'll miss out

15:35

on great candidates like Sandra. Start

15:45

When Yudhishti stepped into the camp, he

15:48

saw the dead bodies of his sons and

15:51

friends strewn all around.

15:55

He almost collapsed again with

15:57

great difficulty, controlled himself and.

16:00

sat down in a corner with his brothers.

16:05

Krishna stood by his side, but

16:07

didn't utter a single word. Draupadi

16:11

came running and the moment she

16:13

saw her son's decapitated bodies, she

16:17

dropped to the ground. Bhim

16:21

helped her get up. Draupadi

16:25

touched each of her son's

16:27

bodies. They

16:29

were still warm. She

16:33

turned towards Yudhisthira and wiped off

16:35

her tears. What

16:38

prize for victory, my king? She

16:41

said, You were too

16:44

complacent with your victory and forgot

16:46

that you haven't yet completed your

16:48

job. Now

16:50

listen to me. If

16:53

you can't kill Lasvatthama by the

16:55

end of the day, I

16:57

will fast unto death. Yudhisthira

17:01

tried to reason with Draupadi. Don't

17:03

lament for your sons or your

17:05

brother. They died an ideal shaatir

17:07

death and have gone to the

17:09

heavens. Don't give me

17:12

any excuses. He heard

17:14

Draupadi. She turned towards Veena

17:16

and said Veena saying, Aswathama carries

17:18

a gemstone embedded in his forehead. Kill

17:20

him and bring me the gemstone. I

17:22

know only you can and you will

17:25

do this for me. He

17:28

immediately mounted his chariot and left

17:30

to find Aswathama with Nakul as

17:32

his chariot here. After

17:37

Bhim left, Krishna

17:39

said to Yudhisthira, Why did you

17:41

let Bhim go alone? You

17:44

and Arjuna should have accompanied him. Yudhisthira

17:47

was confused. You

17:49

know Bhim aswathama is no match

17:51

for him. I'm sure you'll

17:54

find Aswathama and kill him. Krishna

17:56

wasn't happy with the answer. You

17:59

underestimate. estimated Aswat Thama and thought that

18:01

you had to pay a high price.

18:04

His father, Dron, taught him to

18:07

use the deadly Brahmasi weapon. When

18:10

fired, it can destroy the

18:12

entire earth. Dron

18:14

also taught the use of this weapon to

18:16

urge him. Dron, of course,

18:18

had instructed both his students not

18:21

to use this weapon ever, especially

18:23

on humans. But

18:25

I doubt a desperate

18:27

Aswat Thama would abide by his father's

18:29

words. I think it

18:32

would be wise of you and Arjuna to go

18:34

and help him. If

18:36

Aswat Thama uses the Brahmasi weapon, only

18:40

Arjuna can counter it. Yudhishthira

18:43

and Arjuna mounted Krishna's chariot and

18:45

the three drove in

18:48

the direction where Bhim went. Soon

18:51

they caught up with Bhim and joined him

18:53

in his frantic search for Aswat Thama. They

18:57

found Aswat Thama sitting on

18:59

the banks of River Ganga with

19:02

a group of sages. When

19:04

Aswat Thama saw Bhim and Arjuna, he

19:07

panicked. He had no weapons

19:09

in hand, but to activate the Brahmasi,

19:11

he didn't need any physical weapon. He

19:14

remembered. His father had told him

19:17

not to use this weapon against

19:19

any human, but he had no

19:21

option. He ripped

19:23

out a blade of grass from

19:25

the ground, uttered

19:28

a mantra and threw

19:30

it up, saying, let the Brahmasi

19:32

destroy the Pandavas. The

19:35

weapons flared around the house and

19:37

made a huge roar. It blasted

19:40

towards the sky to launch a

19:42

strike against the Pandavas. Screaming

19:45

at the top of his voice, Krishna

19:47

said, Arjuna, fire

19:51

your Brahmasi now and counter

19:53

the Srotama strike. Otherwise, we

19:55

all will die along with

19:58

thousands of your people. Arjun

20:01

picked up an arrow, loaded

20:03

it on his bow, and shot

20:05

it up in the eye, activating

20:07

the Brahmasid by uttering the mantra.

20:09

The arrow transformed into a ball

20:12

of fire and shot us into

20:14

the sky to counter Aswat Thama's

20:16

weapon. The gods

20:18

and the sages panicked. Vyasa

20:20

appeared between the two weapons and

20:22

stole them. In

20:25

the Ataswat Thama and Arjun, he said,

20:27

why did you fire the Brahmasid? Didn't

20:30

you know it is a crime to fire it

20:32

against humans? Retract

20:35

your weapons immediately. I

20:39

fired it to counter Aswat Thama's strike and

20:41

to protect our people, said Arjun.

20:44

However, I can't disable you. I

20:47

will retract my weapon. Please

20:49

ask Aswat Thama to do the same. Arjun

20:52

uttered a mantra to retract

20:54

the Brahmasid. Aswat

20:57

Thama said, I was

20:59

scared to see Bheem and Arjun and

21:01

fired the weapon only as a last

21:03

resort to protect myself, hand

21:06

over the gemstone on your forehead to

21:08

Bheem, and they will let you

21:10

leave, said Vyasa. But

21:14

before anything, you must retract your

21:16

weapon. Aswat

21:18

Thama nodded and said, oh,

21:20

great Rishi, Vyasa, this gem is

21:22

more precious than my life. However,

21:26

I can't disregard your command and I

21:29

will give my gem to be. But

21:32

I don't know how to retract the Brahmasid

21:34

weapon. So it

21:37

needs to strike something. I

21:40

will retarget it at the homes of

21:42

the Pandava women and

21:44

it will kill their unborn children. Vyasa

21:48

agreed. But the

21:51

Pandavas and Krishna were furious. Krishna

21:54

said, you are a coward,

21:56

Aswat Thama. You

21:59

have committed. several sins and now

22:01

you want to kill unborn

22:03

babies? I

22:05

curse you. You will live for

22:07

3000 years, but

22:10

your life will be one of

22:12

endless pain and suffering. And let

22:14

me tell you this, your

22:16

weapon may kill the unborn

22:19

children in the homes of the Pandava

22:21

women. But I

22:23

will revive Avimanu's wife, Uttara's

22:25

child and he will

22:28

rule the Kuru Kingdom for

22:30

60 long years. I

22:34

accept your curse, Krishna, Seda

22:37

Swatama. He pulled

22:39

out his knife, cut

22:42

out the gemstone from his forehead and

22:45

gave it to him. Then

22:47

he stood up and walked

22:50

away to live a long

22:52

and painful life of

22:54

3000 years. Yudhishthir,

22:59

Bhim, Arjuna and Krishna returned to

23:01

the camp. Bhim

23:04

handed the gem to Draupadi and

23:06

said, we defeated

23:08

the murderer of your sons. Here,

23:12

here take a Sathama gemstone. I

23:15

hope it gives you

23:17

peace. Draupadi

23:20

stood up with the gem in hand and said, thank

23:24

you, Bhim. She turned to Yudhishthir and

23:26

said, O King,

23:30

I would like you to wear this gem on

23:32

your crown to remind everybody that the Pandavas never

23:36

forgive those who harm their

23:38

family. Saying

23:41

this, Draupadi broke down in tears. The

23:45

Pandava brothers stood
