Therefore, the Pandavas were sent into exile for thirteen years. Yudhishthira gambled and lost his wealth, kingdom, and possessions due to his gambling, which was also attributed to Shakuni rigging the dice game. A spiteful Duryodhana invited Yudhishthira to gamble their possessions in a game of dice, which was among the turning points of the epic. This created a further rift during the Kurukshetra War, as Karna would later lead the army of the Kauravas against his half-brothers.ĭue to a decree issued by their uncle Dhritrashtra the Pandavas were driven to a barren land, which they transformed into the magnificent city of Indraprastha. Kunti conceived Karna before her marriage while testing the validity of the boon, and abandoned Karna due to his being born out of wedlock. In the past, Kunti had given birth to Karna as her first born child fathered by Surya (Sun God). Yudhishthira was sired by Yama, the God of dharma and death, Bhima by Vayu, the god of wind and strength, Arjuna by Indra, the god of lighting and king of deities, while Nakula and Sahadeva were fathered by the divine twins Ashvins. Therefore, the Pandavas were born using a mantra given to Kunti as a boon by Rishi Dhurvasa. Sage Kindama cursed Pandu that he would die if he approached and touched either of his wives with the intent of making love because Pandu shot the sage and his wife when they were in the act of making love, thus leading to their death. Pandu could not conceive children due to a curse placed by a rishi. The Pandavas were regarded as the sons of the Kuru King Pandu, Kunti and Madri, however were fathered by different deities due to Pandu's inability of naturally conceiving children. The Pandavas eventually won the war with the death of the Kauravas, albeit at great cost as well as breaking contracts. This conflict was known as the Kurukshetra War. The Pandavas waged a civil war against their extended family consisting of their cousins Kauravas led by Duryodhana and his brothers, as well as their preceptor and gurus Bhishma and Drona respectively. The Pandavas ( Sanskrit: पाण्डव, IAST: pāṇḍava) refers to the five brothers, Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva, who are the five acknowledged sons of Pandu and central to the epic of Mahabharata. Overall an average watchable episode.Draupadi and the Pandavas worshipping Shiva Thakur Anoop and Praneet are good, rest are fine. I see a tinge of Gríma Wormtongue's character from The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers in Shakuni's character, which makes me wonder if the former was inspired from our very own epic Mahabharata? Wow! An unaging Satyawati expresses her concerns regarding the throne. Dhritrashtra's complex outlook is outlined, whereas Shakuni's acting potential is highlighted (though an irritating and unnecessary laugh is unbearable to the ears and the eyes, the only drawback of his acting). It provides continuation of the story and provides little character development of the cast. It isn't as good as the previous episode, but not bad either. Simultaneously Shakuni tries to play a game of words with Dhritrashtra. Pandu remains unchanged upon his decision, which worries Bheeshma and Satyawati. Though an average episode, which moves along a fine pace, not too soapish, and contains some fine performances. Another episode without Krishna's lesson.
