Ghatotkacha’s occult powers are such that the Kaurava army does not even know which way to turn and fight, which direction to face, because illusory armies are all over the place, even in the sky.
MAHABHARAT STAR PLUS LAST EPISODES FULL
But in the night, his occult powers come to full flowering, and he is creating havoc. When they were fighting in the day, Ghatotkacha was just one more warrior. The nighttime rule was broken and fighting started at night. He will end Arjuna, and then he will be quite powerless without the astra, and he will be killed by someone. With this one astra, he can kill Arjuna he is saving it for Arjuna. Karna is without the kavacha, but he got the Shakti astra. As long as the world lives, Karna, your fame shall live in it,” and that is all Karna wanted. And men will say ever after that the greatest of all givers of arms was not Indra but Karna. I name you Vaikarthana for cutting your kavacha from your flesh. Today you have won immortal fame with the arms you gave me. Then Indra says to Karna, “Win or lose the war – it’s a small matter. It will save your reputation.” The man is always strutting with a certain glory about himself. At least give me your Shakti astra so that people in the future will feel that Indra did some exchange. As the king of gods, you will lose your reputation. “Knowing fully well I am going into the battle you are asking for my armor. But I feel strange love for you, and I want to protect your reputation. The Shakti will not save my life – that is doomed anyway. At that time, Karna asked, “Give me your Shakti astra for the kavacha and kundala, so men will say, “Indra gave Karna his own ayudha in return for what he took from him. Because he promised it, even though he knew that it would be sure death if he removed his kavacha, Karna gave it away. At that time, Indra was pleased with Karna’s sense of sacrifice. When Indra came and asked him for his kavacha or armor, Karna gave it to him – in spite of the sun-god’s warning not to do that. He keeps his promise, but he wants to have the glory of defeating them. But what is the use of taking off the head of a child? Go.” To Nakula and Sahadeva, he does the same thing, because he promised that he will not kill them. He says, “With all this muscle, what are you going to do? Like a bull, you have grown. Then Karna defeats Bhima and taunts him, too. But maybe you can’t go back to your wife maybe it is another brother’s time,” he taunts Yudhishthira. When Yudhishthira stands in front of Karna unarmed, terrified, and ready to die, Karna pokes him on the chest with the tip of his bow and says, “I don’t think men like you should be fighting on a battlefield when I am here. He defeats Yudhishthira, disarms him, and comes close to him. So one by one, he attacks the Pandava brothers. By now, Karna knows that the Pandavas are his own brothers. He knows that if the worst comes to the worst, Krishna will enter the battle himself and see that it is won by the Pandavas. He does not mind if he loses the battle he knows Krishna will not let the Kauravas win. Karna lives for glory, and he is willing to die for it. But for him, the only thing that really matters is to have the glory of ending a man’s life who is believed to be the greatest kshatriya ever – Arjuna. Karna knows they are going to lose the overall battle. But then, certain people went berserk, and they decimated both the armies quite drastically. By the sixteenth day, the Pandava army seemed to be larger than the Kaurava army. I will fight.”Īs days passed, towards the eleventh or twelfth day, the armies became almost equal in number, because on the Kaurava side, the losses were much bigger. Let them think one more thing.” He takes his Sudarshana Chakra and says, “I will finish the war today.” Then Arjuna says, “Don’t do this. Anyway, they already think I am a Ranchor, a coward, a thief, all kinds of things. Still, Krishna says, “It does not matter what people think of me. If he fights now, forever he will be seen as a man who did not keep his word. On the ninth day, Krishna says to Arjuna, “This is it – if you are not going to fight, I am going to fight.” Earlier, he gave the Kauravas his word that he will not fight. Kauravas seem to be winning the battle and Krishna explains to Arjuna how hesitation is the biggest sin. What happened so far : Arjuna gets cold feet right before going into action as the Kurukshetra war begins.
