Entry 9

After the bloodthirsty battle of Kurukshetra ended, final rites were being given.

Arjun: Madhava!!! My dharma was to give my life for my brother, not taking it!!! I’m a collapsed, defeated man today.

Entry 12

Bhima was blessed by Nagas, and he tormented the Kauravas in mischief. Arjun enjoyed the view from atop a tree.

Yudhishthir: Stop, Bhimsena! You've gone insane with power, this isn't you!

Bhima: Of course, I have. Have you ever tried going insane without power? It's bland and boring.

Entry 17

Yuyudhana (doffing armour): "I told Duryodhana, 'Kill me gloriously, playmate! I've seen enough slaughter.'"

Bhojya (cleaning his wounds): "My childhood ended when you fought Sauviraraja for me."

Yuyudhana shrugs.

Bhojya: "My ten playful babies lie lifeless outside ... ten days already. When I can go to them, what will I see?"

Entry 1

Arjuna (in battelfield) : Jayadratha, you will be killed! If it doesn’t happen before sunset, my life is forfeit! "

Arjuna's arrow severed his head, fell into Jayadratha's father's lap, to earth, broke into thousand pieces.

(Mice at riverside, confused)

Kilika: Uncle‘s a hypocrite! He‘s our enemy!"

(Mice run away)

Entry 10

Lachit : Mother, you taught me to be brave, but if I lose like Abhimanyu?

Nageshwari: He didn't die due to courage but because of incomplete knowledge .

Lachit: But didn't his bravery get wasted?

Nageshwari: No, his courage is the reason even his failure is remembered with dignity, son.

Entry 13

Kunti: I am sorry, putri. I did not know it was you.

When a mother loses a son, her only desire is to see the rest of them together. To never lose them. I just acted like a mother.

On the last day of the war, Draupadi finally understood Kunti.

Entry 2

Supine Bhishma rebukes Shrikrishna.

Bhishma:“Vasudev. Unarmed Karna was killed. A pious, kind soul! What kind of Dharmayuddha are you doing?”

Made with Love.

Vidura: Coarse fare, Vaasudeva, unlike any you must have consumed before.

Krishna: No, wise one. Not for years.

Entry 28

Paritranaay Sadhunam, Vinashayach Dushkrutam!

Bheeshma: “Mahabharat has ended finally. Had the sides reversed that Pandavas ruled Hastinapoor empire and Kouravas asked for share. I wonder whose side would you then be on?”

Krishna (smiling): “Do you genuinely believe, Pitamah, that all this bloodshed is just for a piece of land? Righteousness is my side!”

Entry 37

Draupadi’s revenge: The ultimate fruit

Draupadi (Lamenting): All my sons are dead, how?

Krishna (holding her, consoling): What else did you expect, Sakhi? Revenge is boomerang! You throw it at someone but it always comes back to you. That’s why forgiveness is the greatest virtue! You refused to forgive Duryodhana, outcome is you becoming childless

Entry 15

After the War.

Panchaali walking. Uttariya caught in doorway yanks her back. Glaring, she pulls at it hard enough to tear it. Yudhishthira walks in.

Yudhishthira: He is dead, Panchaali.

Panchaali (glaring at him): Unlike my pain. Unlike my memory.

Panchaali walks off. Yudhishthira sighs. The torn uttariya flutters in the doorway.

Entry 39

Kanha : Looks like a pigeon!

Arjuna: It's pigeon.

Kanha: Seems like a vulture.

Arjuna: Vulture it is.

Kanha: Its the majestic Garud.

Arjuna: Indeed!

Kanha: Parth, why wouldn't you tell me what you guess it is ?

Arjuna: O Kanha, you're Paramarth. Why would be I so foolish to contradict you ?

Not saying it as a formality, but it was really hard to choose just 3 entries.

Bheeshma (eyes red in anger): You all are cousins and you fight like cats and dogs! And for what? Piece of land that’s not yours from any perspective? In this Mahasabha today, I- Bheeshma- the last Kaurava throws this Rajdand and challenges you to defeat me to pick it up.
