Guru Balarama went to rescue Samba

Episode#42

When Vasudev Krishna heard about Samba he was distressed and he asked his elder brother Balarama help to rescue his son. Balarama readily agreed to go to Hastinapur to rescue his favourite nephew.

Since Balarama was Guru of Duryodhana, he was welcomed in Hastinapur with great dignity in the presence of all elders of Kuru family including Duryodhana. Balarama apologized for Samba's childish act and requested them to pardon him!

The Kauravas were perplexed about Laxmani impending marriage! Balarama assured them they would gladly accept Laxmani as their daughter-in-law, but Duryodhana was against the marriage as he was not ready that his qualified daughter marries to illiterate brat Samba that too the son of his enemy Krishna - today he was in such a dilemma and had a no choice but to accept Balarama proposal...!

After a long silence Duryodhana replied "With all due respect to Guru Balarama, I cannot disobey your order, but you will understand my feelings as a father, let Laxamani speak about her wish to marry Samba or otherwise!"

Balarama agreed and Duryodhana called Laxmani in the courtroom. Bhisma Pitamah, being eldest of Kuru family asked Laxamani "Do you agree to marry Vasudev Krishna's son Samba? My dear child, please do not decide under any duress...! And yes - your decision will remain final in this courtroom!"

Laxamani was looking down to her feet, she was very smart she was aware now it will be difficult for her to get marry, since she was touched by Samba, if she misses this opportunity to marry Samba, then, thereafter her life would be different, she has no clue whether Abhimanyu will accept her or not? But Laxamani was a brave girl like her father and she has courage to fight in any odd situation, she thought that getting married to illiterate brat Samba means committing suicide, it is better to remain unmarried and see what life has store for her in coming future.

There was a pin drop silence in the courtroom all were awaiting for her reply and most curious was her father Duryodhana, she looked up to her father and she knew he will support her in any odd situation. Her mother was hiding her face and crying she was confused about the fate of her daughter, she looked at her brother Kumar Laxmana who was looking at her and she slowly shook his head, tears fell out of her eyes and she smiled at her brother and then she looked around the courtroom all eyes were looking at her and anxious to know her decision, she looked at Bhisma Pitamah and he asked "Yes my child what have you decided, would you like to marry Samba?" She wiped her tears and shook her head, she shouted loudly "NO" and ran away out of the courtroom.

There was a big smile on the face of Duryodhana, Bhanumati and Kumar Laxmana - Balarama didn't argue they released Samba and went back to Dwarka. Duryodhana was happy thinking this was the biggest blow on the face of Yadavas especially Krishna by rejecting his son Samba.

If Laxamani had agreed to marry Samba then too there was a chance this war would be averted - perhaps...!

Duryodhana wanted Laxamani to get marry before the war starts; he neither knew the outcome of the war and now....Fate of his daughter.

Mahabharata war - Day 15 Fall of Acharya Drona.

Episode#69 On the fifteenth day, the war did not cease even after the sunset but continued as mentioned before in Torchlight. The Kurukshetra field presented strange sight with burning torches - the generals and soldiers on both the sides we're engaged in battle, thousands of torches burnt and were used as signals, devised for night time. Ghatotkacha and his troops of demons (who are stronger at night) found darkness an additional advantage and violently attacked Duryodhana army. Duryodhana heart sank when he saw thousands of his men destroyed by Ghatotkacha and his demon army moving in the air and attacking in strange and unexpected ways. The warriors begged to Karna "Kill this fellow at once, Karna, for otherwise, soon our whole army will cease to be. Finish him without delay!" Karna himself was angry and bewildered, having been wounded by one of the Asura arrows. He had with him the spear which Indra had bestowed to him, but as warned, it could be used only once, and...

Gandhari: My son Duryodhana was invincible...!

Episode#81 Gandhari says "I do not envy the victory of Pandavas and ibagree that my intense grief has robbed me of my understanding! These Pandavas also are my sons. I know that Dusshasana and Sakuni brought about this destruction and that Arjuna and Bhima are not to be blamed! My sons deserve the fate they have met - only because of their flase pride and vanity I do not complain about it. But in Vasudev Krishna presence,  Bhima challenge Duryodhana to battle and knowing that Duryodhana was stronger and could not br defeat in a single combat, Bhima struck him below the naval and killed him! Vasudev Krishna continued to be an indifferent onlooker! This was against righteousness and it is this that I find it impossible to forgive." Bhima, who heard this, came near and said "Mother, I did this in self-defence, whether is was right or wrong, you should bear with me. Your son was invincible in combat a d I had to resort to self-defence what was undoubtedly wrong,  but then ...

Mahabharata war - Day 14 Fall of Jayadratha

Episode#68 News of Arjuna's oath reached the enemy. The spies informed Duryodhana that Arjuna, having learnt that Jayadratha was the cause of Abhimanyu death, had vowed to kill Jayadratha before sunset the next day. Vriddhakshatra, the illustrious King of Sindhi's was blessed with a son Jayadratha. During his breath, a voice was heard to say: "This prince will attain great glory in the happy regions above after being slain in the battle. One who, among the warriors of all ages, ranks among the most illustrious, will in the field of battle shall get his head severed from the body." All living beings must die but truth is always bitter! Vriddhakshatra was grieved to hear the voice declare his son's end. In his disturbed state of mind, he uttered a curse "He, who shall cause my son's head roll down on the ground, his head shall be burst at that very moment into fragments." When Jayadratha grew up to his manhood, Vriddhakshatra handed over the state ...
