yes and i think the same happened to shishupal
This is applicable to lots of people - a lot of the time these people were said to be divine beings in the service of God who were cursed for some reason or other to be reborn on Earth (sometimes as asurs, sometimes not) and they asked God to please kill them in their rebirths so that they could then return back to God at the end. Like there is a story that Jay and Vijay were the attendants/door-keepers of Vaikunth and they were cursed to be born three times on Earth. They asked Lord Vishnu to please kill them in each of their three births and he agreed. So they were first born as Hiranyaksh (killed by Lord Vishnu's Varaha avtaar) and Hiranyakashapu (killed by his Narsingh avtaar), then second as Ravan and Kumbhkaran (both killed by Shri Ram) and then finally as Shisupala and Dantavakhra (both killed by Shri Krishna). So there you go, apparently this is all by design! (It probably is, really - everything is all seemigngly connected somehow!) Too bad the Earth has to put up with so much badness, though! On this note, I had better get going, but not before appreciating MR some (it is the MR AT, afterall!). I think he is doing very well with three diversely different roles at once, which must be extremely draining, but as long as he is enjoying it and isn't completely overworked then it is all cool. 👏 I'm liking the current parallel tracks (even thugh they are changing some of the stories) and the entire DKDM team gets a big clap from me for the great job they are all doing to keep it all together! 👏 I'm looking forward to seeing Jalandhar fighting in the war, his wedding, and then the much-awaited face-off with Mahadev! Suchi and Rajshri, it has been great chatting with you. Arti the Aalu signing out!
