ASHWATTHAMA TOOK SHELTER OF LORD SHIVA TO KILL DRAUPADI SONS

Ashwatthama learns the wrongful way of the owl & takes shelter from Lord Shiva

Did you know that Ashwatthama or Ashvatthama; son of Drona even though was a strong warrior, was scared of the Pandavas? He no question displayed braveness many times in the Mahabharata war such as, On the 14th day he killed a group of Rakhshasas and Anjanaparvan; son of Ghatotkacha, faced Arjuna oftentimes but was defeated by way of him, after the demise of his father Drona, out of wrath he used divine Narayanastra in opposition to Pandavas but Lord Krishna being the Narayana himself counselled everyone in his side to place down their weapons consequently, the tremendous Narayanastra surpassed harmlessly. Ashwatthama defeated Dhrishtadyumna and additionally killed King Nila of Mahishmati. After the terrible death of Dushasana, he asked Duryodhana to make peace with Pandavas. Courteous Pandavas had by no means tried to kill Ashwatthama due to the fact that he was the son of their Guru Drona. (because Dronacharya had long gone in opposition to his religion, as consistent with the commands of Saptarishis he had put down his guns and was later killed by way of Dhrishtadyumna due to the truth that Dhrishtadyumna was born for his death only.) Ashwatthama had killed the Upapandavas and remnants of Panchala such as Dhrishtadyumna, and Sikhandi within the night only, to avenge the death of Duryodhana. 

Within the old Mahabharata book, it is mentioned that Dhritarashtra then asked Sanjaya why did not Ashwatthama show this dare earlier within the Mahabharata warfare. Sanjaya answered, that at the time when Ashwatthama entered the camp in the night, Pandavas were no longer present there therefore he killed all these warriors after which he went in the direction of Bhagirathi Ganga. (Then out of fear from Bhima, he had used his divine Brahmashirsha weapon at Pandavas to damage them but Arjuna in no way determined to harm him at the same time as using his Brahmastra against Ashwatthama's.) Moreover, Yudhishthira later while mourning for his lifeless sons, questioned Lord Krishna how ought to Ashwatthama by himself kill a lot of these fantastic warriors together with the Upapandavas in one night thinking about the truth that he had by no means performed that many auspicious acts earlier? Lord Krishna then spoke back to him that Ashwatthama must have taken the shelter of Lord Shiva. Well, It was real! Lord Shiva was thrilled with him that night. On account that Sanjaya was granted through Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa to not only see the events of the fight within the daytime but also could understand approximately every scenario at night during the battle or even about any approach that had came to any warrior's mind, he elaborated to Dhritarashtra how did Ashwatthama do it. let us realize precisely what occurred that night in short.

After Pandavas left for their camp, Duryodhana was almost dead, he informed his messengers to reach close to Ashwatthama and intricate to him approximately his iniquitous death by way of Bhima in the Gada yudha. (Ashwatthama, Kripacharya, and Kritavarma were left alive inside the Kaurava side). They reached there near him and mourned for a long time after seeing the pathetic situation of their king Duryodhana. Ashwatthama became enraged at the unfair killing of Duryodhana via Bhima during the mace fight. Out of rage, He determined to kill all the Panchalas. Duryodhana even though was approximately to die soon, appointed Ashwatthama as his commander-in-chief there. Then Ashwatthama, Kripacharya, and Kritavarma went toward the east side at the same time as fearing the Pandavas looked for a place to hide. After finding a densely wooded area they went inside and observed a big banyan tree (Bargad). Whilst grieving about Duryodhana, they all took relaxation there. It became the first Pahar of the night time that time. while Kritavarma and Kripacharya were dozing, Ashwatthama looked at the scary wooded area frequently. He saw one Ficus Benghalensis tree (Vat Vriksh) surrounded by many crows. loads of crows had been napping peacefully on that tree. Ashwatthama observed one horrible owl fiercely attack those crows on that tree and kill many of them in their sleep only. After killing those crows, that owl turned out to be satisfied with taking revenge. Ashwatthama learned the unrighteous manner of that owl and thought of assaulting the Pandavas within the night with trick only no longer by his power. After knowing his merciless purpose, Kripacharya then tried to prevent him because it was no longer beneficial to kill every one of their sleep in the course of the nighttime. However, Ashwatthama neglected it and Went towards Pandavas' camp. Kripacharya and Kritavarma followed him. (That night in line with the commands of Lord Krishna Pandavas were talking rest close to the auspicious river Aughavati.)

Ashwatthama in conjunction with Kripacharya and Kritavarma reached close to the camp of Pandavas and Panchalas. He observed one Glorious, stunning and huge Mahabhuta person similar to Surya and Chandra guarding the gate there who was wearing tiger skin, covered with black deerskin, had a serpent around his neck, and was prepared to slay all of the creatures through his variety of weapons. Enormous Snakes were adorned as his armlets. It seemed ghastly to discover his face pervaded through the incensed fire. That fierce-looking person seemed graceful via his hundreds of eyes. A big mountain also would have got scared in front of such a magnificent individual. He was spitting fire from his heaps of eyes, both his noses, ears, and mouth everywhere. Through his radiance, a hundred and thousand numbers of Lord Vishnu at the same time as holding his weapons like a conch shell, Chakra and mace emerged.

After seeing the frightening image of that individual, Ashwatthama didn't get scared and began the usage of his arrows towards him. much like Vadwanal engulfing the whole ocean, that divine person absorbed all the weapons of Ashwatthama there. At the same time as gazing at that indestructible individual devouring all his weapons, Ashwatthama then shot his illuminating Ratha Shakti weapon at him. It merely touched him and consequently, was broken similar to a meteor whilst falling from the sky, after bumping into the sun commonly gets damaged. Ashwatthama then took his excellent sword and used it against that divine character however it was too absorbed by him. Enraged Ashwatthama then used his fine mace much like Indra Dhwaja towards that incredible character and it was too gobbled by means of him.

Ashwatthama then searched for other weapons considering the reality that each one of his weapons had been already finished. He discovered hundreds of Lord Vishnu inside the sky only. He remembered the precious advice of Kripacharya at that time and regretted his inability the use the divine weapons, defeating that Mahabhuta individual due to the truth that he had chosen the wrong route of killing those warriors whilst going in opposition to the guidelines of saintly people. finding no other way out, He started out praying to Lord Shiva to allow him to defeat that Mahabhuta character who was creating hurdles on his way to enter the camp. Ashwatthama then got down from his chariot and wholeheartedly did Stuti of Lord Shiva there. Then Agni Deva seemed in a golden Vedi with his divine Roopa in front of him and started glorifying everywhere. Ashwatthama surrendered himself at the toes of Lord Shiva there. He offered his Dhanush, Arrows, and his own body as Samigha, Kusa, and Havisha respectively to Lord Shiva through the surrendering yajna there.

Ashwatthama instructed Lord Shiva that, "Lord! I give up my very own body in this blazing fire. Kindly receive it as Havisha. Out of excellent devotion and will energy I offer this to you, Please receive it. whole Bhutas are established in you and you're positioned in them as properly. If I can not defeat my enemies then kindly accept my body as Havisha. " Then Ashwatthama got up at the Vedi and sat inside the blazing fireplace barring having any desires for his life.

Lord Shiva smilingly answered to him, "exceptional Lord Krishna has spontaneously worshipped me along with his truthfulness, holiness, genuineness, sacrifice, penance, rituals, forgiveness, devotion, persistence, knowledge, and sayings. therefore I don't bear in mind anyone else more affectionate to me than Lord Krishna. on the way to preserve his honour and test you, I defended the Panchalas through my Maya. I have respected Lord Krishna through saving the Panchalas here however now they have been defeated through the manner of Kaal. They do not have lives anymore. " Then Lord Shiva created a similar form of him which entered the body of Ashwatthama and blessed him with a high-quality and detrimental Kharga (Asi) weapon. At the time when Ashwatthama entered the camp, many demons and invisible Bhutas went to the side of him. Kripacharya and Kritavarma stayed at the door there.

Ashwatthama first went to Dhrishtadyumna who was in deep sleep at that time. Ashwatthama kicked him like an animal and pressed his throat and chest with his feet. Dhrishtadyumna out of ache even as scratching him along with his nails mentioned to him that, "Dronaputra! don't be late. Kill me barring the sastras so that I will reap Punyaloka due to you. " Ashwatthama spoke back to him that, "Disgraceful person! there is no Punyaloka for the person who kills his Acharya. You don't deserve to be killed as in step with the sastras." The Ashwatthama hit him on the sensitive part of his body and killed him. That time his better halves and guards who had been drowsing in that camp wakened after hearing the outcry of Dhrishtadyumna before his death. Ashwatthama then got up on his chariot and attacked each camp. Warriors surrounded Ashwatthama from all directions but were killed by Rudrastra weapon. After slaying the guards of Dhrishtadyumna, he noticed Uttamaujas sound asleep on his mattress. Ashwatthama additionally killed him like an animal with the aid of choking him by forcefully pressing on his throat and chest. Yudhamanyu confronted him along with his mace however was similarly killed via way of Ashwatthama. He attacked all of the warriors there in their sleep and killed them. He resembled Kaal there. He noticed the Upapandavas or sons of Pandavas and Draupadi who prepared to fight with Ashwatthama there. all of them along with Sikhandi shot arrows at him. Ashwatthama used the Kharga against and injured all of them. He then killed Prativindhya with his sword. Sutasoma used his sword against him but was killed brutally by way of Ashwatthama there by his sword. Shatanika straight away attacked Ashwatthama with the wheel of a chariot but was killed by him too. Ashwatthama had cut off his head there. Then Shrutakarma charged against Ashwatthama along with his Paridhi weapon and injured his left hand there. Ashwatthama used his fierce sword on Shrutakarma's face and killed him there. Shrutrakirti shot many arrows at him. Ashwatthama even as retaining a shield against him cut off his head too. Sikhandi also used all his weapons in opposition to Ashwatthama and injured him. Then Ashwatthama pierced his whole body into pieces through his sword. Ashwatthama whilst taking Kharga in his hand slew the remnants of the Pandava facet armies. Kripacharya and Kritavarma even as staying on the gate killed those warriors who had been looking to get away from the camp. additionally, they put on fire outside the camp to delight Ashwatthama. similar to Rudra god slaying many creatures out of wrath, Ashwatthama resembling Kaal himself sent all the armies to Yamaloka. Many hideous demons and ghouls started out devouring the flesh of lifeless bodies. There were groups of ten thousand, one lakh, and ten lakhs of horrible demons. After slaying Dhrishtadyumna, Upapandavas, Shikhandi, Yudhamanyu, Uttamaujas, and many prominent warriors, Ashwatthama in the dawn immediately left that camp. He went on the pathless way of his father Drona accomplished his promise and became relieved then. Ashwatthama alongside Kripacharya and Kritavarma reached close to Duryodhana and informed him approximately the loss of life of Draupadi sons, Panchalas, and all of the remnants of the Somaka and Matsya dynasties. Duryodhana gladly left his body.

ARJUNA WAS ABOUT TO SLAUGHTER YUDHISHTHIRA

It Karna harms Yudhishthira, Yudhishthira insults Arjuna, Arjuna prepares to kill him, Lord Krishna gives a solution

The courageous Arjuna was about to kill his own saintly elder brother Yudhishthira! Surprising right? Well, it is true. On the 17th day of the great war of Mahabharata, Arjuna was busy fighting with the Samsaptakas. During that point, Dhrishtadyumna and Nakula fought fiercely against Dushasana and Vrishasena respectively. Karna, Sahadeva, Satyaki, Kripacharya, Kritavarma, and Bhima defeated Sikhandi, Uluka, Shakuni, Yudhamanyu, Uttamaujas, and Duryodhana respectively. Powerful Bhima killed and scared off many Gajasena far away from the Kurukshetra. Lord Krishna along with Arjuna reached there and confronted the Kauravas. At the time while Arjuna was not cautious, Duryodhana along with his half of the armies charged against Yudhishthira from all facets and harmed him with Khyurpa and Bhalla weapons. Bhima, Nakula, Sahadeva, and Dhrishtadyumna alongside their Akshauhini Sena rushed towards Yudhishthira to defend him. Brave Karna stopped the Pandava warriors there by way of shooting many arrows at them. Sahadeva right away injured Duryodhana with his arrows there. After seeing Duryodhana harm, Karna harmed Dhrishtadyumna and frightened the armies of Yudhishthira there. Karna was using all his Divyastras which had been given to him through his Guru Lord Parashurama earlier. He was unstoppable. Yudhishthira additionally attacked Karna and slew many Kaurava armies together with his arrows. Furiously Karna shot Naracha, Ardhachandra, and Vatsadanta weapons at Yudhishthira. Yudhishthira counterattacked too. Then Karna shot his Bhalla at Yudhishthira's chest and injured him badly there. Yudhishthira asked his charioteer to take him far from there. Duryodhana that time ordered Karna to capture him. Karna with an intention to delight Duryodhana yet again harmed Yudhishthira with his arrows. Wounded Yudhishthira who was going back in the direction of his camp too assaulted Karna on his way. His Chakra Rakshaks Nakula and Sahadeva confronted Karna and shot exceptional arrows at him. Karna also used two Bhallas and injured each of them. Karna then killed the horses of Yudhishthira and Nakula. Both the Injured Pandava brothers got up on the chariot of Sahadeva.

At that point, Shalya (the charioteer of Karna) told Karna not to assault unarmed Yudhishthira now thinking about the fact that he had taken the oath to kill Arjuna, not Yudhishthira. Infuriated Karna most effectively persisted in harming Yudhishthira there. He made Yudhishthira at the side of Nakula and Sahadeva unpleased from war. Shalya again cited Karna that it was pointless killing Yudhishthira and in preference to doing that he needed to be seeking out Arjuna. At that time Duryodhana and Bhima were combating. Shalya then efficiently influenced Karna's mind from killing those Pandavas to defend Duryodhana from Bhima. Seeing Karna move away from there, Ashamed and humiliated Yudhishthira together with Nakula and Sahadeva went towards the camp. Yudhishthira was seriously wounded so he took a rest there. He requested his brothers to carry on with their combat while being with Bhima. On Kurukshetra Karna then used his Bhargavastra in opposition to Panchala armies and killed many of them. Arjuna mentioned to Lord Krishna that, it seemed not possible to wreck the Bhargavastra and it might not be proper to walk away from Karna without confronting him. Lord Krishna then counselled Arjuna that, before that, he should meet his injured brother Yudhishthira. Arjuna then defeated Ashwatthama and searched for Yudhishthira on the battlefield. After asking Bhima, he spoke back to Arjuna that after being badly hurt Yudhishthira had long passed to his camp and in some way managed to keep his life. due to the fact that Bhima no longer wished to be called a coward at the Warfield, he stayed there to combat whereas Arjuna in conjunction with Lord Krishna rushed towards Yudhishthira's camp.

Yudhishthira's body was hurt out of humiliation from Karna. After seeing both Lord Krishna and Arjuna in front of him, he was sure that Arjuna already killed Karna by then. He welcomed both of them. Out of false impression, Yudhishthira began admiring Arjuna for displaying wonderful energy for killing Karna. He stated to Arjuna that, "Karna insulted through his statements, chased me and defeated in the combat. somehow because of Bhima, I managed to save my life on the battlefield. I can in no way tolerate the humiliation of Karna. I see Karna everywhere out of fear. I've in no way been humiliated via remarkable Maharathis like Bhishma, Drona, and Kripacharya the way I felt it via Karna. He in some way spared my life. By way of killing him with your first-rate Gandiva Dhanush, you have now thrilled me. Therefore I desire to recognize in detail how you overcome this kind of astounding and skillful warrior like Karna. Karna was the arms of Duryodhana. After killing that sinner it should have affected Duryodhana too. That evil Karna who had taken the oath to kill you within the war is now lying lifeless on this planet. In the meantime he injured me, I simplest thought of you and now you have fulfilled my desire through slaying him. That fool Karna had earlier asked Dushasana to bring Draupadi forcefully within the courtroom of Hastinapur in the course of Dyutkrida and also insinuated Bhishma for calling him Adhirathi is now killed by way of you. You are victorious much like Indra. inform me how did you do it?"

Arjuna then answered to him that, I was involved in scuffling with the Samsaptakas. Then I killed five hundred soldiers and confronted Ashwatthama. We both had a terrific fight. And after defeating Ashwatthama there, I was about to face Karna. Karna killed many Panchala armies with Bhargavastra and fifty Rathis reached close to me. I killed those Rathis but before confronting him, I wanted to meet with you, heard about your injuries, and reached right here. Different courageous Pandava warriors like Bhima, Satyaki, Dhrishtadyumna, Nakula, and Sahadeva are engaged in their fight. Either I will get the victory on Karna today or will die. Allow me to depart now. "

After hearing that Karna was very much alive by that time, Yudhishthira got indignant with Arjuna and told to him, " Your armies ran away and you overlooked them. You couldn't win over Karna therefore got here at the same time as leaving Bhima there on the battlefield. How could you spoil your promise of killing Karna? We've now lost all our hopes in you. I wished to get the victory but you only showed us the destruction. We waited for a long term to see you triumph over Karna but you put us all in disaster. Oh, feeble-minded Arjuna! at the time you were born, celestial announcements had been made saying you would emerge as an incredible archer, win over many awesome warriors similar to Indra and overcome Madra, Kalinga, Kekeya nation, and also over the Kauravas, you are born similar to the Lord Vishnu born from Aditi will be the originator of his dynasty. But it looks as if those forecasts were fake. Duryodhana had mentioned that you can by no means face Karna in a war and at that time I did not believe him. After being caught up in all these enemies, I feel like I am in hell now. If you did not desire to combat with Suta Putra Karna, You must have informed me earlier than the warfare simplest. I had never asked my Sahridayas to fight for me. What am I supposed to do now in the battle? Karna defeated me in front of Duryodhana and all my Sahridayas. My life is damned. only Bhima was there who defended me. If Abhimanyu and Ghatotkacha had been alive by means of this time, then they must have fought with Karna for me. Karna must have assumed you to be powerless for which he insulted me like no person did. Arjuna! Your chariot is built with the aid of Visvakarma and driven by way of Lord Krishna only then how come you ran away from Karna out of fear? You give your Gandiva Dhanush to Lord Krishna and become his charioteer. He would then kill Karna like Indra slain Vrita with his Vajra. In case you don't own the power to face Karna on the battlefield then give your Dhanush to greater kings. You might not see our destruction then. It'd have been better if you were dead in Mother Kunti's womb. So that nobody would have blamed you for running away from the war then. Shame on your Gandiva Dhanush! Shame on your energy! Shame on your bolts! Shame on your Dhwaja! Shame on your chariot that is offered to you by Agnidev! "

After hearing this from Yudhishthira, Arjuna became livid. He raised his sword with the purpose of killing him. Lord Krishna understood that and asked him why he raised his sword at that point and what was his intention at the back of this because no enemies were there near him. Enraged Arjuna spoke back to him that, "Lord Krishna! Whoever asks me to give my Gandiva Dhanush to someone else, as in step with my promise that I have accomplished in my thoughts, I will cut off his head. King Yudhishthira had asked me for the same in front of you therefore I can't forgive him and will kill him right now to preserve my oath. You are aware of our past and future accordingly you advise me the right thing to do now."

Lord Krishna instructed him, "Shame on you! It appears as if you have in no way served your seniors for which without any cause you turned out to be furious. You have lost your thoughts. You aren't aware of the righteousness and wrongful acts in keeping with Sastras. Out of foolishness, you have considered yourself as doing the right thing here in keeping with your religion but it includes the sin of violence. According to me, an individual can lie with the intention to keep someone's life but he ought to not murder anyone or let that happen. how will you kill your very own brother like an idiot? You need to not kill someone who is not your enemy or now not fight with you, has come to take your refuge, runs far from a war, and is uncautious. you probably made that promise like a senseless child for that you were approximately to kill your brother unfairly and in opposition to Dharma."

Lord Krishna then elaborated the tale of the Kaushik (Kaushika) sage and a hunter named Balaka to Arjuna.

'A long time ago, there was a Vyaadh named Balaka. He used to hunt down many wild animals for the sustenance of his own family not to meet his desires. He was truthful and by no means criticized anyone. One day he went to the forest to look for animals but could not locate any wild animals apart from a blind animal who was ingesting water there. Balaka had by no means seen an animal like that before however, he killed it. After that, flowers showered from the sky, Apsaras started dancing and a divine Vimana reached there for the hunter.

That blind animal who was killed through Balaka had executed penance in his previous birth for the destruction of all the animals from the earth which was granted by Lord Brahma and therefore, he became a blind animal. Balaka after killing that blind animal who once wished for the annihilation of all the animals went to Svargaloka in that Vimana. Thus the form of Dharma is unvanquished.

Likewise, there was a much less knowledgeable sage named Kaushika who used to live in a village close to a river. He never stated a lie and therefore was regarded as Satyavadi. One day few men entered the wooded area and hid out of fear from the robbers. Robbers began looking for them in that forest. those robbers discovered Sage Kaushika there and asked him if he had seen those men there. because the sage was sincere, he told the whereabouts of those men correctly to the robbers. The cruel robbers then located those guys and killed all of them. After that Kaushika sage was chargeable for the sin and after his death attained Naraka or hell. '

Lord Krishna then said to Arjuna, "One cannot sincerely act righteousness through studying Vedas. As per the theory of Dharmasastra, where there's non-violence, there's religion. At the time the robbers with the intention to rob cash and kill others ask for the location of any trustworthy person, he must stay silent or tell a lie with a view to save those humans' lives. those robbers must not get the wealth or kill anyone. Any wealth which is given to sinners depresses Dhan Daata. No human being gets punished for saying a lie for Dharma. Now inform me Arjuna! Do you continue to think Yudhishthira deserves to die?"

Arjuna then responded to him that, "Lord Krishna! You're like our parents. you have cautioned us even as considering our welfare most effective. Yudhishthira doesn't deserve to die now but you must give me the solution to preserve my oath without killing him. You are privy to my Vrat. I'd kill everyone who questions me to offer my Gandiva Dhanush to a person mightier than me much like Bhima who would kill each person for asking him to get rid of his moustache and beard. Neither I can live peacefully after killing my own brother Yudhishthira nor can neglect my oath. "

Lord Krishna answered to him that, Arjuna! Yudhishthira is now tired and badly injured via way of Suta Putra Karna's destructive arrows. Karna attacked him even when he was unarmed. Yudhishthira out of sorrow, gave you unjustifiable statements, in reality, to inspire you to kill Karna. He knows only you can slay him in the war as a result he stated you so. I will surely recourse you to preserve the oath without taking the life of Yudhishthira.

Arjuna! After losing respect a person turns into much like the dead. You have constantly honoured all of your brothers such as Yudhishthira and elders, therefore now you disrespect Yudhishthira a little bit. You call him 'Tu' (Used for equal to us or juniors than us) rather than 'Aap' (for seniors). As in line with sensible human beings, it is regarded as identical to being lifeless. You use Adharmayukta (in an unrighteous manner) statements toward Yudhishthira now. It kills a Guru with the usage of 'Tu'. Even though you're a religious individual you do it in line with what I say. Then you make an apology to Yudhishthira by way of falling on his feet and console him through your honest wordings. "

After being attentive to Lord Krishna, Arjuna ruthlessly told to Yudhishthira that, " King! You (tu) ran away 1 kos distance from the Warfield and at the moment are relaxing right here. You (tu) don't tell me! Bhima can no doubt say me like this seeing that he all by himself is now preventing with the warriors. The way courageous Bhima is displaying his outstanding strength just like Indra, through killing many elephants, horses and chariots, foot soldiers and others, through his Kharga, Chakra, and Dhanush, and many others, you (tu) can in no way do. Bhima can surely criticize me however you can't. You (tu) usually shield yourself by way of your Sahridayas, not through your own courage. today I watched brilliant Bhima entirely killing 8 a hundred elephants of our enemy therefore simplest he can condemn me. Nakula fearlessly kills many elephants, horses, and warriors so he can talk harshly to me. Sahadeva continually keeps his thoughts in war only. What a distinction between you (tujhme) and him! Even exquisite warriors like Dhrishtadyumna, Satyaki, Yudhamanyu, Uttamaujas, Sikhandi, and Upapandavas (sons of Draupadi) who suffer through the battle can criticism in opposition to me however you (tu) cannot. sensible Brahmins have the power of their statements and Kshatriyas have it in their arms. You (tu) are ruthless and you've strength in your wordings only. You (tu)are properly aware of my power. because of me, Sikhandi killed Bhishma. You (tu) do not criticize me even as sitting at the bed of Draupadi. I don't even welcome you in your kingdom because you (tu) are addicted to gambling and now want to overcome the enemies. You (tu) are an unlucky gambler. After doing the sin of gambling and setting us in terrific problems, now you (tu) harshly talk to me. "

After talking rudely to his elder brother, Arjuna regretted and again raised his sword to kill himself for hurting his brother through his merciless wordings. Lord Krishna then stopped him by way of saying that, Arjuna by killing himself would now get a place of Naraka more dangerous than he would have virtually attained after killing Yudhishthira and then as a solution asked Arjuna to elaborate on his own glory in the front of Yudhishthira since it'd be much like killing himself. Arjuna acted as a result and defined approximately his heroism to Yudhishthira.

Then Arjuna felt ashamed and even folding his hands advised Yudhishthira, "King! Be pleased with me. Forgive me for what I said. you'll understand at the proper moment. There will be no greater put-off in Karna's death. I will immediately go to him now. I have surrendered my whole life handiest to thrill you. I can provide relief to Bhima within the battle by way of killing Karna now." After saying this, Arjuna got up and prepared to depart for the war.

Yudhishthira even remembering the earlier impolite statements of Arjuna, cited to him, "Honestly I've now not accomplished auspicious works for which you all are in problem right now. I'm a sinner, fool, and lazy individual. you cut off my head. I'm a rude character who doesn't admire my elders. You don't need to behave as per me. I will leave for the woodland now. You will live in peace after being separated from me. courageous Bhima will come to be the king. I'm able to now not tolerate your harsh statements. " After saying this Yudhishthira got up from his mattress and was approximately to depart for the forest, at that point Lord Krishna offered his prayers at his feet and mentioned to him that, "King! you are aware of the oath of Arjuna in the direction of his Gandiva Dhanush. He has insulted you even as retaining in thoughts of his promise. Disrespecting gurus are taken into consideration to be much like their death. consequently, to keep his in addition to my faith, he has done this. You forgive him. We each have come down to your feet now and I make an apology, Kindly forgive me. "

Yudhishthira then hugged Lord Krishna and answered him, "Honestly I've violated the guideline in the direction of disrespecting the Gandiva Dhanush. Through your intelligence, you have saved both of us from a large hassle. " Then Lord Krishna turned to Arjuna and said to him that, "Partha! you've fallen into great sorrow just after talking to Yudhishthira with 'Tu' consequently imagine what might have occurred to you in case you had slaughtered religious Yudhishthira via your sword. You would have been within the darkness of Naraka. Please your brother Yudhishthira now! "

Then Arjuna fell on the feet of Yudhishthira and shamefully requested him over and over to please him and forgive him. Seeing Arjuna crying on his feet, Dharmaraj hugged him affectionately. They both cried for some time there and after that forgot their conflicts. Then Yudhishthira kissed Arjuna's forehead and informed him that if Arjuna would not kill Karna today then Yudhishthira's life would end up pointless considering Karna had destroyed all his weapons, Kavach, Dhanush, bolts, and horses in front of all of the armies. Arjuna confirmed Lord Krishna and Yudhishthira by means of taking oath on the grace of Yudhishthira, on his brothers Bhima, Nakula, and Sahadeva, and through touching his Gandiva Dhanush determined to either kill Karna or be dead in the warfare. Yudhishthira forgave him for his earlier statements as they were intentionally given for his well-being after which blessed him to have a long life, fulfilled goals, high-quality energy, and triumph over enemies.

PRAAPT ANUSMRTI VIDYA OF YUDHISHTHIRA

Yudhishthira gives the total count of dead Soldiers in the Mahabharata war to Dhritarashtra

Did you know that Yudhishthira; Elder Son of Pandu and Kunti had a completely unique knowledge of Praapt Anusmriti. He was a kind and affectionate character who even after suffering plenty constantly stayed on his religion and revered his elders. Now, let us know approximately the Vidya that he became privy to in brief.

After Gandhari cursed made Lord Krishna liable for the destruction of all of the warriors, Lord Krishna gladly accepted it and asked her to stay strong on account that she was a Kshatriya mother who lost her sinful son Duryodhana and furthermore he mentioned her no longer to grief over past time, lifeless loved ones and damaged substances because of the truth that it'd simplest create a catastrophe for her. She then stayed silent. At that time, Dhritarashtra whilst handling over his sorrows, he asked to Yudhishthira that, "you are well aware of the number of soldiers left alive after the great Mahabharata war. In case you additionally know the count number of dead soldiers then do let me know."

Yudhishthira answered to him that, " In this war, one billion sixty-six crore and twenty thousand (1,660,020,000) warriors are killed. Apart from those dead soldiers, twenty-four thousand one hundred sixty-five (24,165) soldiers escaped. " After hearing this from Yudhishthira, Dhritarashtra told to him that, "It seems as in case you're an omniscient. Now tell me to which Gati (the Passage to which Jiva travels after the body dies: to the realms of Brahmaloka, Devaloka, Pitrloka, and Narakaloka ) those soldiers went after their death?"

Yudhishthira then replied to him that, "those individuals who willingly and eagerly sacrificed themselves during this great war have reached the auspicious Loka much like Deity King Indra's. People who fought in a displeased way while being determined to die within the warfare went to the Loka of Gandharvas. Individuals who died via enemies' weapons while being distracted from the war begged for their very own life, went to GuhyakLoka. The great religious Kshatriya soldiers who have been slain through their enemies' weapons for being unarmed, for dropping all the warfare required materials, and sacrificed their lives to enemies in an effort to keep their dignity in a war without any doubt went to Brahmaloka. Apart from these, the soldiers who died inside the border of the war would get birth in the northside of Kuru state. "

Dhritarashtra then asked, "through which Vidya you witness all these just like a SiddhaPurusha or an Ascetic? Do allow me to understand in case you consider me worthy. Yudhishthira then spoke back to him that, "at the time of staying in the wooded area as in keeping with your command, I went on pilgrimage and there whilst listening related to the superb tirtha, a top-notch individual favored this knowledge to me. He was no other than sage Lomash from whom I acquired this exquisite Anusmriti Vidya. Together with that, in the past, I had additionally attained Divya Drishti or the divine sight thru Gyana yoga. "

Dhritarashtra then asked him that, "are you able to perform the funeral rites of individuals who are Anatha or orphans here and those who do not have someone to do the equal for them? Also Preta Karma (rituals accomplished by family to release the soul to support reincarnation) is to be carried out for individuals who by no means did Agnihotra (fire sacrifice rituals). Antyeshti Karma or Daah sanskara needs to be carried out for plenty of lifeless humans here. For whom we ought to do it? These lifeless soldiers whose body is now dragged by way of Garuda and vultures additionally get the Punyaloka via the Sraddha karma?

After listening to this from Dhritarashtra, Yudhishthira without delay asked Shudharma, Dhaumya, Charioteer Sanjaya, Vidura, Yuyutsu, Indrasena, and others to finish the Preta Karma of all of the lifeless bodies and also cautioned them no longer to abandon a single body as if it was unknown. According to his command, the Daah Sanskar was finished for all of the lifeless persons then. Kunti also revealed to her sons regarding Karna being born to her earlier. Yudhishthira mourned after listening to the reality from her mother, turned into devastated on killing his very own brother, completed the Preta Karma for him and later cursed all the women 'for no longer being capable of maintaining and secrets for eternity.

Lord Balarama reached close to Aditya Tirtha during his pilgrimage to Sarasvati riverside, in which non-secular sage named Ashita Devala used to stay earlier. He accompanied the Grihastha or being occupied within his family or householder. He was extraordinarily pious, honest, Jitendriya (who conquered over his senses and ardor) and dealt with everybody similarly. He was by no means indignant, often worshiped the deities and visitors civilly, and practiced celibacy.

Someday Sanyasi Jaigishabhya or Jaigishavya reached the tirtha thru his yoga and resided in Devala sage's hermitage. That hermit practiced extreme Tapas (austerities) achieved siddhi (Supernatural abilities, magical powers, or skills via yoga and meditation). Devala sage in no way practiced Yoga Saadhana in front of Jaigishavya. a long time passed. Devala sage by that time no longer used to see the hermit apart from the mealtime and begging alms. Devala used to worship the hermit out of affection and honor. Devala noticed that even after worshiping the lazy monk for a long term, he by no means spoke to the sage once. At the same time as thinking such, the sage took his pitcher and went close to the sea. He found that Jagishabhya was already there earlier than him. Devala was at a loss for words to think how could the monk reach right here before him and moreover he had already carried out along with his bath in the ocean. The monk as usual stayed silent. Then Devala completed his bath with Japa in the ocean and returned back to his hermitage along with his pitcher.

After getting into his hermitage, Devala noticed that monk was already there and as regular didn't say anything to him. Now Devala was in deep thought to see the hermit reaching the hermitage earlier than him. With a purpose to observe Jaigishavya, Devala sage flew away in the sky along with his Ascetic power. There the sage noticed Jaigishavya with many first-rate yogis there. Then he saw Jaigishavya visiting thru Svargaloka, Pitrloka, Yamaloka and Chandraloka. Then towards the Uttam Lokas of Yajnas, Lokas of Agnihotra(yajna or fire sacrifice rituals). Devala watched Jaigishavya next proceeded to the location of Tapoghana and was worshiped by way of Deities there. Then he entered the location wherein Agnishtoma yajna used to be performed. Then he even reached the location of Vajapayees (who performs Vajapaya yajna which is a high stage yajna that includes excessive valued Dakshinas). Devala watched him going to the auspicious Loka in which awesome yajnas like Rajasuya and Pundarika used to be done. Even Jaigishavya was seen in the places in which Asvamedha (horse sacrifice rituals) and Naramedha (human sacrifice rituals or Purushamedha was occurring). He was additionally seen at the rare yajna locations of Sautramani ( sacrifice executed to please Indra), Sarvamedha (all sacrifice), and Dvadasha yajna ( twelve days sacrifice). Next Devala sage noticed Jaigishavya hermit at the Lokas of Varuna and Adityas, then surpassed over the Lokas of Rudra, Vasus, and Brihaspati. He was next visible in the gau Loka proceeded to the yajna location of Brahmastra(yajna venerated by way of Lord Brahma) after which within the vicinity of Pativratas. After that Devala sage failed to see him anywhere. He speculated the impact, Uttam Vrat and Yoga siddhi of Jaigishavya. He then in a well-mannered way asked all of the extraordinary monks about the whereabouts of Jaigishavya due to the fact that he did not see him anymore.

Those remarkable monks replied to Devala that, "Jagishabhya hermit has now reached the Sanatana Loka. You can't enter that Loka with the power you possess." Devala was stunned to listen to this. He then returned back to his Ashrama. After entering inside he saw Jaigishavya hermit was sitting there. Devala went close to him and courteously asked him that, " Lord! I desire to take the Moksha or Moksa Dharma (freedom from samsara or from the cycle of birth and demise) now." After understanding that Devala sage wished to take Sannyasa (life of renunciation or the fourth stage after Brahmacharya, Grihastha, and Vanaprastha), Jaigishavya advised him Uttam Vidhi of Yoga and virtues and unrighteousness acts according to Sastras. Even he gave him Diksha and dignified him as per the Sastras for accepting Sannyasa. All the Pitras along with others grieved for Devala on taking such a decision as he was providing them the offerings. Seeing they all mourning for Devala, he thought of leaving the Moksha Dharma.

Then all the flora, fruits, Kusa, herbs ended up depressed by way of pronouncing that, Sage Devala might again start with plucking all of them because of the reality that he forgot his oath of giving Abhaydaan(granting the freedom of fear) to them.

After that Devala pondered to find the finest manner for him in between accepting Moksha Dharma or continue along with his Grihastha. He got here to a conclusion of taking sannyasa simplest and therefore executed Paramasiddhi and Uttamyog. Brihaspati, Narada, and other deities admired Devala sage at the side of Jaigishavya for their rigorous asceticism. Consequently Devala sage acquired Sanatana Loka like Jaigishavya.

MEETING OF PANDAVAS WITH GANDHARI AFTER MAHABHARATA WAR

Vyasa stops Gandhari from cursing Pandavas, Bhima clarifies killing Duryodhana unfairly and Gandhari turns the toenails of Yudhishthira black, out of rage

After Bhima almost killed Duryodhana in the mace combat, Pandavas got victory in the Mahabharata war. Before they met with Blind King Dhritarashtra and Gandhari in Hastinapur, Pandavas sent Lord Krishna to Hastinapur intending to pacify the anger of Gandhari and Dhritarashtra. Lord Krishna consoled both of them. Then Pandavas reached there to seek their blessings. Dhritarashtra embraced all of the Pandavas one by one and after hugging Yudhishthira, he turned to Bhima, and with an aim to avenge the death of his sons, he tried crushing the body of Bhima via his extraordinarily sturdy arms. However that point as according to the indication of Lord Krishna, Pandavas had already placed a metal statue of Bhima as a substitute for him in front of powerful Dhritarashtra, which was then crushed by way of the blind king. Later he regretted his act and whilst grieving he hugged and wished for the welfare of all of the Pandavas. Then Pandavas alongside Lord Krishna went to meet with Gandhari. That time she thought of cursing all the Pandavas, however, was stopped via Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa. Since Vyasa used to apprehend the inner feelings of all people through his outstanding asceticism, he reached there before Gandhari could do it. He calmed down her anger and advised her not to curse the Pandavas by means of saying that, she always used to bless her son Duryodhana before the war with the announcement of, 'wherein there is religion, there's victory' Consequently now she needed to take into account that Pandavas had no doubt conquered the war at the same time as being on Dharma simplest. Then Vyasa requested her to remain to stay in her religion of being merciful and forgiving as she constantly used to be.

Gandhari then told Vyasa, "Lord! Neither do I hold hatred emotions for the Pandavas nor do I want their destruction however I mourn for losing all my sons. It is the responsibility of my and Dhritarashtra to defend Pandavas. The Kuru dynasty is ruined for the sins of Duryodhana, Shakuni, Karna and Dushasana. none of the Pandavas are liable for this. I do not find it unpleasant for the Kauravas to die at the same time as combating the war. But I did not admire the way Bhima behaved with Duryodhana after calling him for the mace combat in the presence of Lord Krishna. It makes me angry to reflect on my consideration of Bhima after observing Duryodhana's promptness greater than him in the course of the mace fight, hit him lower to his naval. How can a courageous warrior clearly as a way to shield himself go in opposition to his warfare religion as referred to by means of saintly persons all through a fight?"

Bhima at the same time as being scared of Gandhari, in a well-mannered way responded to her that, "Mother! whether or not it is justice, I did it only to save myself out of fear from Duryodhana. Please forgive me. no person can beat Duryodhana in Gada Yudha in a religious way. Consequently, I showed him rudeness. Duryodhana had earlier dishonestly triumphed over Yudhishthira during Dyutkrida and deceived us typically. He was only left within the Kauravas who could have won back the kingdom therefore I took this unfit step in opposition to him. You are properly aware of the cruel statements that have been given via him to Rajasvala Draupadi in front of absolutely everyone. It would not have been impossible for us to rule the earth without killing Duryodhana. Your son had committed an intense sin by means of displaying his left thigh to Draupadi and asking her to sit on it. We needed to have killed him at that point only but we excused him as in step with the command of Pious Yudhishthira. Duryodhana then by way of sending us to the forest and troubling us there fueled the rage of our anger. After killing him in the fight, we are relieved from the malice now and Yudhishthira got the kingdom. "

Gandhari then agreed to the sins of Duryodhana defined by using Bhima there but again asked him how could he ruthlessly drink the blood of Dushasana in the Mahabharata battle. Bhima gave explanations by way of replying to her that, "I merely touched the blood with my lip and teeth and did not drink it in reality. In the course of the Dyutkrida, I had promised in front of everyone to kill Dushasana and drink his blood. To satisfy my Kshatriya dharma I did it. " Bhima then consoled Gandhari that she should no longer search for guilts within the Pandavas now because she had never taken into consideration the same in her sons whilst they tortured the pious Pandavas.

Gandhari then mentioned that if the Pandavas were non-secular inside the war, Bhima could have left at least one in all his hundred sons alive, because of the truth that she in conjunction with her husband Dhritarashtra was getting older and they needed the assistance of one son. At the same time as referring to Bhima as Yamaraj to slay all her hundred sons, she became livid and called Yudhishthira to come near to her there. While shivering out of fear Yudhishthira stood in front of her and a sweet voice advised her that, Devi! I've killed all your sons and plenty of kings all around the earth. therefore You curse me now. I don't desire to acquire the kingdom or wealth after killing all my Sahridayas."

That time Gandhari stayed silent and breathed heavily. Yudhishthira was about to fall on her feet. At that point, Gandhari noticed the lovely toenails of Yudhishthira from inside the cloth that she had covered her eyes. (Gandhari usually covered a cloth on her eye the reason that she changed committed to her blind husband Dhritarashtra). His toenails turned out black by way of her look. Seeing this, Arjuna immediately hid in the back of Lord Krishna out of fear. Gandhari could apprehend it after which pacified her anger. She comforted them like an affectionate mother.

Next all of the Pandavas in conjunction with Draupadi met with their mother Kunti. Draupadi mourned for her sons in front of her. (Ashwatthama had slaughtered all her sons along with remnants of Panchala warriors including Dhrishtadyumna and Shikhandi in the night to avenge the death of Duryodhana). Seeing her daughter-in-law in sorrow, Kunti also grieved and went to Gandhari together with her. Pandavas also followed them. Gandhari then consoled Draupadi and Kunti with the aid of announcing, "Do not be distraught with sorrows. I also feel the ache of losing my sons. Nobody can change their destiny. Because of the truth that, Lord Krishna's peace agreement between was failed, the valuable outcomes as anticipated through Vidura became real. There is not anything left to mourn now. The courageous warriors are dead now therefore you have to now not grieve over them. I am accountable for the destruction of this dynasty." After that Vyasa granted her Divine sight to look at the dead bodies of the soldiers inside the Warfield. Gandhari mourned for the lifeless warriors and their families in front of Lord Krishna and then cursed him at the same time blaming him for the destruction.

LAST CONVERSATION OF DURYODHANA WITH LORD KRISHNA

Lord Krishna answers to the ruthless statements of Duryodhana and confirms the victory of Pandavas

You all have to read this to apprehend how beautifully Lord Krishna spoke back to the questions of sinful Duryodhana before his demise. In Saupitika Parva of Mahabharata book, it's referred to that after Gada Yudha or Mace combat of Lord and Bhima, Lord Balarama rushed to kill Bhima considering the reality that as a guru he couldn't tolerate Bhima going against the mace combat guidelines while hitting on Duryodhana's thighs and then kicking on his head. (As per the suggestion of Lord Krishna, Arjuna had indicated his thighs there to Bhima as a way to remind him of his oath of breaking Duryodhana's thighs taken in the course of the Vastraharan of Draupadi.) Lord Krishna then pacified Lord Balarama's anger by referring to all the sins that Kauravas had done and It was important to take that step to end the battle as in past even the deity king Indra had killed Vrita and other demons with tricks to be able to put an end to evil on the earth. Lord Balarama however announced Bhima to be a dishonest warrior there. Pandavas were satisfied with their victory. Everyone admired Bhima on the battlefield. Lord Krishna that point insinuated Duryodhana for all his sins there for which furiously Duryodhana had a verbal exchange with him. let's know about it quickly.

Lord Krishna at the same time as hearing the ineligible statements from the Panchala and Pandava armies regarding Duryodhana instructed all of them that, "It isn't appropriate to kill the enemy once more who's nearly dead now. You all have hurt Duryodhana along with your ruthless statements. This sinner and shameless Duryodhana had already been dead earlier at the moment when out of greediness, he overlooked the commands of Sahridaya or kind people at the same time as being accompanied by sinners. Regardless of the request of Bhishma, Dronacharya, Kripacharya, Vidura, and Sanjaya, he didn't provide to the Pandavas their ancestral property. This demon is worthless now. Neither he is a pal nor a foe to anyone. This fool is a stonehearted person therefore degrading him along with your wordings is now pointless. We should leave for our camps now. Thankfully this evil Duryodhana is lifeless alongside his ministers, pals, and brothers. "

After listening to this, enraged Duryodhana however managed to take a seat on his rear. Although it appeared as if his excruciating ache almost took his life there, still he began to harm Lord Krishna by saying, "Oh son of Kansa's servant! don't you feel guilty for the depraved act done to kill me unfairly? Neither you feel ashamed for killing many genuine warriors through your crooked strategies nor do you hate this unrighteous act. Incredible Bhishma Pitamaha who was continuously slaying many enemies was killed whilst keeping Sikhandi before him. After killing the elephant of Ashwatthama, Dronacharya was asked to put down his weapons that I was properly privy to. when low-born Dhrishtadyumna killed Acharya in that situation you all did not deny it. Who can be extra sinful than you thinking about the truth that the divine Shakti weapon of Indra which was acquired by means of Karna in advance to kill Arjuna, then made him shoot at Ghatotkacha?

At the time when courageous Bhurishrava's right hand was cut off by way of Arjuna and he sat on fast till loss of life, that point Satyaki being influenced by you killed him. When Karna was combating bravely Arjuna and Ashwasena snake along with Karna's arrow was about to harm Arjuna but you made it unsuccessful. Once more on the time the wheel of Karna's chariot pierced into the ground, you all killed him whilst looking at him being in misery to get his wheel out. In case you had fought frankly without using Maya against Bhishma and Karna in the presence of me then no doubt you would have lost the war. However, an ignoble individual such as you killed me alongside many warriors in an evasive manner. "

Lord Krishna then replied to him, "You set foot on the course of sin as a result, you alongside your son, brothers, relatives, friends, Sahridayas, and servants confronted death. Awesome Bhishma and Dronacharya are now lifeless due to your wrongdoings. Karna additionally acted in accordance with your way for that reason was killed in the battle. Oh, fool! After taking a recommendation from Shakuni, you denied giving to Pandavas their ancestral property or their very own nation Indraprastha even out of covetousness. at the time you poisoned Bhima, and tried to kill Pandavas with their mother Kunti by setting fire in Lakshagriha, in the course of the Dyutkrida as per your command, Rajasvala( mensurating) Draupadi was pulled by her hair and humiliated in front of every person, you were already destined to die by then.

After being aware of the truth that Kindhearted Yudhishthira was less informed in gambling, you tricked him in Dyutkrida by defeating him by the way of Shakuni. When Pandavas went to the hermitage of Trinavindu, merciless Jayadratha troubled Draupadi there. Because of your simplest many warriors together killed Abhimanyu on Kurukshetra consequently, you confronted these outcomes now. 

Bhishma who slew many armies to harm Pandavas faced dying due to Sikhandi and there is no offence in it because Sikhandi did it while keeping in mind the welfare of Pandavas. Dronacharya additionally to delight you went in the direction of virtueless people and thus was killed with the aid of Dhrishtadyumna. Satyaki to preserve his oath killed Bhurishrava on the battlefield. (Read the boon of Lord Shiva for which Satyaki was earlier defeated by Bhurishrava)

Arjuna in the course of his war by no means committed any condemned acts. Even after finding many ways to kill Karna on Kurukshetra, Arjuna didn't kill him in advance. Only after understanding the point of view of all the deities and pleasing them, I made the attack of Ashwasena unsuccessful. You along with Bhishma, Dronacharya, Kripacharya, Ashwatthama and Karna had been left alive all through the Virata battle because of Arjuna's mercy. Do remember the fact that time whilst Arjuna saved you from Gandharvas and later the way Pandavas treated you was no injustice. Pandavas conquered the war through their efforts simplest abiding by Kshatriya policies. You died because of your sins. You by no means obeyed your seniors and unnoticed the best advice of Brihaspati and Kripacharya. "

Duryodhana then informed him, " I did Vidyadhyayan precisely, I ruled the earth up to the ocean, and defeated many enemies. I will die glorifying death as consistent with the Kshatriya religion and visit the rare Uttamloka of deities( Svargaloka) after my demise together with my Sahridayas and servants. Who would be having the sort of excellent ending like me? You'll all stay on this earth together with your disappointments. I don't grieve for Bhima kicking me on my head anymore because of the truth that soon any animal will do that to me. "

Straight away flowers rained on him from the sky. Gandharvas and Apsaras admired Duryodhana's glory. Monks agreed to him by saying 'Very good! Very good! The fragrant wind started out blowing and Sky illuminated like Neelam stone. Lord Krishna at the side of Pandavas felt chargeable to see the way Duryodhana was honoured at that point. Pandavas regretted after listening to their unfair killing of Bhishma, Drona, Karna, and Bhurishrava.

Seeing Pandavas perplexed, Lord Krishna then advised them that, "It was no longer possible to conquer Duryodhana in opposition to his rapid use of weapons. Moreover, defeating great warriors like Bhishma and Drona in a simple manner turned into unachievable. I used Maya at some stage in the war at the same time as preserving my thoughts about your well-being and killed all of them. How could you have got your very own back your kingdom and wealth if I had in no way taken the help of Maya in the course of the warfare? Even it was unimaginable for Lokapals to defeat the Atirathis like Bhishma, Drona, Karna, and Bhurishrava. Kaal moreover can not slay Duryodhana for his promptness in the use of mace. You ought to no longer reflect on the consideration of your enemies after killing them. Many forms of enemies deserve to die via strategies. In the past Deities have similarly killed many demons. All people follow the way of excellent persons simplest. " After it was solved through Lord Krishna, Pandavas were happy. All of them blew their conch shells and declared their victory. Then they returned to their camps.

(In Bhagavad Gita, chapter 4, verse 7-8, Lord Krishna says, 

'Yada Yada hi dharmasya Glanir Bhavati Bharata, 

abhyutthanam adharmasya Tadatmanam Srjamy aham

Paritranaya sadhunam Vinasaya ca duskritam

Dharma-samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge.

Each time virtue subsides and wickedness prevails, I manifest myself to establish virtue, to break evil, to save the good I come from Yuga to Yuga)
