Episode 72 - We begin the 14th day of the war. The morning starts with many dark omens, but no one is quite sure for which side they portend doom. Arjun sets off immediately to fight his way through the Kaurava army and to find and kill the miserable king Jayadratha. He & Krishna soon disappear into the hordes while Yuddistira struggles to avoid capture at the hands of Drona.
By mid-day, with no news from the two Krishnas, Yuddistira begins to worry about them. He hears their conches and interprets the sound to have some urgency. Eventually, his concerns are too much, and he sends Satyaki, his very best bodyguard, off on a solo mission to find and rescue their kinsmen.
Then Satyaki also crashes through the enemy lines and disappears. Not long after, the lack of news from either Satyaki or the Krishnas again proves too much for Yuddistira's nerves. This time, he sends Bhima away to find the others.
Now Yuddistira has only Dhrstadyumna to protect him, and the rest of his very best fighters are lost and alone, deep in the hordes of the Kaurava army.
This was all too much to fit into a single episode, so we need to wait until next time to find out how the 14th day comes to a close. Will Satyaki and Bhima make it through? Will Arjun complete his vow to kill Jayadratha before sunset? Find out next time!

Came to know about this podcast from one of my friend who posted the link on his FB page.
ReplyDeleteFrom then on, I have been listening & have finished till Episode 22.
I have seen the All the episodes of Mahabharata on TV as child & I have heard stories from the epic thru my granny.
But when I started listening to your podcast, I was surprised & happy for 2 reasons. 1. The way you narrate the story. 2. Amount of research you have done.
I really appreciate your effort and thank you for coming up with this podcast.
