00:00Chapter of Kurukshetra was about to unravel, unimaginable, unforeseen, inevitable, the kind
00:09of end that keeps a story alive until it ends. A terrifying twist filled with deceit and conspiracy
00:22that would soon be brought about by four characters who were still awake so late in the night
00:28looking for ways to pursue it. Ashwatthama, the new commander. What is left of this war anyway, Duryodhana?
00:38My blood-soaked Samshabdaks, my brave beheaded Sindus, my butchered Narayani army, and the
00:45thousands of warriors whose corpses now lie scattered all over Kurukshetra. My Gaurav army,
00:53my soldiers, and all the warriors who gave up their lives, stand with you, Ashwatthama.
01:01Tonight, the Pandavs will pay a heavy price for the death of every one of my soldiers.
01:09I swear by Lord Shiv, until I have carried out my revenge against the Pandavs, neither will
01:15I stop, nor will I let this war come to an end. The Pandavs killed my father. I will destroy
01:23their very bloodline and offer them as a sacrifice to the burning pyres of Kurukshetra.
01:29You will officiate as the priest, O Prince Duryodhana.
01:33So be it, Ashwatthama. So be it. May every breath you take have only one purpose.
01:46Revenge. And to achieve it, do whatever is necessary.
01:52Bring me proof, Ashwatthama. Get me the severed heads of all five Pandavs.
01:59The night was at its darkest hour, but the storm raging in Ashwatthama's mind
02:20was even darker. Kripacharya and Krithavarma fell asleep the moment they lay down to rest,
02:27but there was no sleep in Ashwatthama's eyes. Ashwatthama, the boy born with the cry of a horse,
02:34had a gem on his forehead that protected him from all danger. But who could defend him against the
02:41perils that he was now calling upon himself? Dear father, I know you're watching me from up in the
02:48heavens. The responsibility that you once wore like a crown upon your head now lies on my shoulders.
02:54The responsibility of achieving victory for Prince Duryodhana. But I don't know how to carry it out.
03:01Stop! Oh, I'll... Oh, wise one!
03:23If this vision is just a dream, then let it end now!
03:31Huh?
03:33However, if you are a sign from my father Dronacharya, then show me the way. Show me the way,
03:40a wise one!
04:00Drowned in arrogance, wrestling with the darkness,
04:05he wandered, staring into the night, searching for a path in the void of terror.
04:12Silent, yet restless, focused, yet unsettled. A voice came from the abyss, slaughter.
04:21One path. One path. One truth. He repeated to himself, slaughter.
04:33Slaughter.
04:43Aswatthama? What... What are you doing?
04:45Preparing, Uncle Kripacharya. I'm preparing for the end of this war and this story.
04:53Now at this hour? But why, son?
04:55It is a sign from Lord Shiv the Destroyer. If the command has been given at this hour,
05:01it must be carried out at once. And I have planned it all. Intoxicated by victory,
05:08the enemy's guard will be down. This is the perfect moment to attack their camp,
05:12and take back the victory that was always rightfully ours.
05:17Do not be impulsive, Aswatthama. We must consult with King Dhritarashtra,
05:22and also our Prime Minister Vidur before taking such a dangerous step. Any haste will...
05:26Any haste? I fear we might already be too late.
05:30Kretavarma!
05:31What's that? Is it a lion?
05:34Yes. The lion is here. And now it will go out hunting for its prey.
05:44Unaware of impending doom, the primary narrator of this tale, Sanjay, was asleep in Hastinapur.
05:51Perhaps for him, this war had ended with the defeat of Duryodhan. But I was awake,
05:58because I knew that even though soldiers die in war, their vengeance lives on.
06:04Looks like they all had a grand victory celebration here.
06:07And now their funeral will be just as grand. There is not a single soldier on guard. Everyone is asleep.
06:14And it will be quite a while before they wake up.
06:17There! The commander's tent. My father's murderer, Drishtidumna, must be in there.
06:23And that tent there is the Pandavas.
06:25All five must be sleeping there. That hypocrite Yudhishtir, that monster Bhim,
06:30that coward Arjun, and the utterly useless Nakulant Sehdev.
06:36Today I shall free them all from their mortal bodies.
06:39But first, I must go and deal with that hyena, Drishtidumna.
06:43I am the new commander. My wrath will turn this celebration of victory into a dance of death.
06:51The three of you wait here, stand guard at this gate.
06:54And yes, make sure not a single soul escapes from here alive.
06:59As you, commander.
07:09Ashiwatthama, you coward! If you want to kill me, why don't you fight like a warrior?
07:27Just like you did, huh? When you killed my unarmed father?
07:33You are no warrior, Drishtidumna! You are a disgrace!
07:38This is the death you deserve!
07:40Shikhandi!
07:41You wretch! You sinner! You attacked him in his sleep!
07:51There is no place for the likes of you even in hell!
07:54Oh really? Where do you think you will end up, Shikhandi?
07:57You will pay for what you did to Patama Abhishma!
08:07And now, it is the Bond of Stun.
08:27Everything is destroyed! You monster!
08:35The severed heads of the five Bond of warriors as promised.
08:39A special gift from commander Ashwatthama to prince Duryodhan.
08:46You kill them! You kill all five of them!
08:49Just as you commanded my prince!
08:55The most joyous news in the past 18 days!
09:02How my years have longed to hear these words!
09:06Give me that monster Beam's head now!
09:09The one who single-handedly slaughtered my 99 brothers!
09:12Today, today, I shall anoint my forehead with the blood from his head!
09:19What have you done, Ashwatthama?
09:29I did as you commanded Prince Duryodhan.
09:32I annihilated the entire Pandav camp!
09:35I made sure that every warrior was slaughtered to death!
09:38Crown Prince, what is the matter? Did this not please you?
09:42This head that I crushed to pieces so easily!
09:46Do you really believe it belongs to Beam?
09:49What do you mean?
09:50You were fooled by the spitting image of Beam and ended up killing his son, Sutsum instead!
09:56The Upapandavs must have been asleep in that tent.
09:58You mistook them for the Pandavs and slaughtered their sons!
10:01You failed to fulfill my command, Ashwatthama!
10:08Instead, instead, you've done something that Bhishan, Karan, and your father throne never succeeded in doing!
10:14By doing what you did, you've left the Pandav celebrations hollow!
10:21You have turned their victory conch blots into wales of mourning!
10:26This news is as glorious as the defeat of Indra!
10:29But the moment they hear the news, I'm sure that those five brothers will come looking for you!
10:35So let them come!
10:36The five Pandavs, Krishna, Satyaki, I will deal with them all!
10:41Ashwatthama fears no one!
10:43Let them come!
10:44Go!
10:45Go away!
10:46The four of you must leave right now!
10:49Go off in different directions!
10:53Your crown prince is proud of you, Ashwatthama!
10:57Look!
10:58Look!
10:59A shower of petals from the sky!
11:04The messengers of heaven are calling out to me!
11:07Prince Doryothan, I request you to tell my father, Drone, how I killed Trishtadyumna and avenged his...
11:15Crown Prince?
11:17Prince Doryothan!
11:19No!
11:19No, no, no, no, Prince!
11:21Prince Doryothan!
11:24No!
11:37I have lost my five sons in a single night!
11:48And their killer, that snake with the gem, Ashwatthama, is still alive!
11:53But he will not stay alive for very long, Panchali!
11:56I have avenged the wrongs done against you before!
11:59Today, I will do so again!
12:00I swear by Sutsum, I will rip that gem from his forehead and lay it at your feet!
12:05But before that, we need to find him!
12:08He must have realized by now that he did not kill us, but our five sons instead!
12:13He must have fled far away from here in order to escape us!
12:17Heaven, hell or earth, he must be somewhere!
12:20Even if I have to turn the world upside down to look for that murderer, Ashwatthama,
12:24I will do so without a second thought!
12:26You need not go to that much trouble!
12:29I know exactly where that snake can be found, Arjun!
12:32Then you be our guide, Brother Bhim!
12:33Until you bring the gem from that evil coward's forehead to me,
12:38I will not eat a single grain of food, even if it costs me my life!
12:46Do not drown in the sorrow of what has passed!
12:48Try to prepare for what is to come!
12:51Your daughter-in-law, Uttara's son,
12:53her womb is carrying not just Abhimanyu's son, Krishna,
12:57But your grandson, and the heir of the Pandav dynasty, try to think of him!
13:01The hermitage of the great sage-bias?
13:25Remember how we disguised ourselves when we had to stay in hiding for a year?
13:28Hmm, I became a woman, Brihan Nala.
13:32I spent one whole year disguised as a woman in the kingdom of Matsya.
13:36But that was only you, Arjun!
13:39Because Devi Urvashi's curse had turned you into a eunuch!
13:42But we were under no such curse!
13:44Do you remember how the rest of us hid our identity?
13:47In the guise of Brahmins.
13:55I'm sure Ashwatthama is disguised as one of these Brahmins.
14:00We just need to identify him.
14:01There he is, Ashwatthama!
14:12Why are you hiding there, you snake?
14:14You attacked children when they were sleeping!
14:17You spineless commander of a defeated army!
14:20Show yourself!
14:22Neither is your crown prince Duryodhan alive anymore, nor is your father!
14:25Who will save you now?
14:30Face us!
14:36Do not worry about me.
14:39Worry about yourself.
14:41When my father could turn inept students like you into warriors, then imagine how well he must have trained his own son.
14:48My father may not be here with me, but his skills, his weapons, and his knowledge are mine now.
14:57And that is more than enough for you.
14:59Om Brahmastra astrabharam uttarayanti pukaram trilokikam nama nama
15:05Agakshati tivragantim Brahmastraani namami namami
15:09Brahmastram keruarangam

15:33Paline mitagarn
15:34Nama nama brahmastraadi
15:37Vedankaryanti
15:38Arjun, you will have to stop Ashwabthama's attack.
15:42Huh? Yes, I have to stop him.
15:44But how? Keshav, how?
15:46In his rage, this arrogant fool has summoned
15:48The Brahmachira weapon I know, Arjun.
15:49If we do not stop him, fire will rain down from the sky, Arjun, which will completely destroy all of nature.
16:03But Ashwabthama is invincible in this moment, Keshav.
16:06If you cannot stop Ashwabthama, then at least stop his weapon.
16:12Unleash your most fearsome weapon now to save this world from certain destruction.
16:21May my fellow disciple Ashwabthama find peace.
16:24Oh Brahmachira weapon, calm the fire raging from his weapon.
16:28Oh great warriors, is this still the same war that you all had started to win the throne of Hastinapur?
16:46Why unleash such weapons? If you do, there will be no Hastinapur left, nor any life.
16:53No warrior in history has ever used these weapons.
16:56You still have time. Renounce your desire for personal vengeance and take back your weapons.
17:10Calm down Ashwabthama.
17:22What are you doing Ashwabthama? Obey my command this very moment and take back your weapon.
17:33Do as you are told, otherwise...
17:35A little knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge at all, Maharshi Vyas.
17:39Ashwabthama did not change the direction of his weapon, not because of a vow or the desire for revenge.
17:44The unfortunate truth is that he simply does not know how to recall his weapon.
17:48Acharya Dron never really taught Ashwabthama how to withdraw the powerful Brahmashira weapon,
17:54because he was well aware of his angry nature. For him, this was always the final resort.
18:01Spare the little child being nurtured in Uttara's womb, Ashwabthama.
18:05Otherwise, no matter what you do, you will never be able to atone for this sin.
18:09Hahahaha! Look, father! Mothers will instill fear in their children with tales of your unworthy son.
18:17All except for Uttara.
18:19Hahahaha!
18:23Hahahaha!
18:27Hahahaha!
18:29Hahahaha!
18:47Can you hear the eerie silence, Arjun? It is the extinguished scream of that lifeless child!
18:53The bloodline of the Pandavas has come to an end! Hahahaha!
18:59It is true that you killed an unborn child, Ashwabthama. And at this moment, Arjun's grandson is not alive.
19:07No!
19:09But listen again, and you will hear the sweet cry of new life.
19:15You may have the power to take life, but I have the power to grant life.
19:21You forget, Ashwabthama, that if I am the one to create this entire universe, would saving the life of an infant be beyond me?
19:28You, your vicious rage, all your powers combined, can do nothing to harm my creation as long as I am.
19:40And I will always be. You have always been protected by this gem, but your impure mind has made you unworthy of it.
19:51I, Vasudev Krishna, declared that the boon of virtual immortality you received will instead become your curse now.
20:00Eons will change. Dynasties will change. The lives of all creatures and the very meaning of life will change.
20:06But you shall wander this earth for all eternity, Ashwabthama, bearing the weight of your sins forever.
20:12The pain of your wounds will not let you sleep. You will beg for death, but death will not come.
20:23The child against whom you committed the unforgivable act of murder will lay the foundation of a glorious empire,
20:29Ashwabthama. And you will have no choice but to live on and be witness to his legacy and valor.
20:37Duryodhan, my, my, my son.
20:46I never experienced the joy of seeing my son, Gandhari.
20:54But today, today I can clearly sense that he has moved on. He is gone.
20:59Our son is gone, Gandhari. Duryodhan is gone.
21:05The war that men fight ends on the battlefield, but the war that rages inside every woman's heart,
21:14that never truly ends. They are allowed to step onto the grounds of Kurukshetra.
21:21Only when it's time to perform the last rites of their sons.
21:27Whom should I hold responsible for this terrifying war raging inside?
21:33Inside my very soul.
21:36What is done is done, Gandhari. What good would it do now to hold anyone responsible for it?
21:42Someone needs to answer all my questions. And I know who bears that responsibility.
21:51The Kurukshetra war was the first chapter.
21:54The echo of this Kurukshetra war will reverberate in every age to come.
