00:00A glowing jewel torn from your forehead and 30 centuries of unending blood.
00:04Imagine walking the earth forever because of one unforgivable slaughter.
00:08The Mahabharata records the final bloody night of the war.
00:11Ashwatthama son of the master Archa Drona crept into the sleeping camp.
00:15He murdered the five sons of his enemies while they slept.
00:19The Pandavas hunted him down across the scorched river banks.
00:22Driven to madness, he loosed the Brahmashirshya weapon to burn the world.
00:26Ask yourself, what protects a man when he destroys his own soul?
00:31Krishna stepped forward, his eyes burning with divine fury.
00:34Your crime has no bounds, Krishna said, lifting his fist.
00:38Without a dagger, the god reached out and pried the gem from his skull.
00:43You shall wander, Krishna cursed, reeking of rotten pus for 3000 years.
00:47Notice the punishment, not death, but a life that refuses to end.
00:52He carries every sin of the war upon a body that cannot heal.
00:56A gem torn from the brow leaves a wound that time cannot close.
