After the war, when all the hostilities were over, Krishna drove the chariot to the Pandava camp. Reaching the camp Krishna told Arjuna to come out first. Arjuna didn't understand the reason, but on Krishna's repeated insistence he came out first. Krishna followed Arjuna. As soon as he stepped out, the picture of Hanuman in the flag atop the chariot pole, came to life and vanished away. Immediately the chariot burst into flames. Arjuna was mystified on seeing all this. Bewildered, he turned dreary eyed and starting sobbing. Krishna consoled him, and said, ' Partha, this was willed to happen by destiny. Ashwatthama had twice hurled his Brahmastra to destroy this chariot. As I was sitting in the chariot all this while, Ashwatthama's Brahmastra could not do any harm. The moment I stepped out it went up in flames due to the power of Brahmastra. That is why I asked you to step out first. Don't feel sorry about the chariot now'.

This is the story😆 thankfully I had read it long time back, but remembered it all as I typed😛 Nest question...

In the Mahabharata occurs the tale of a king who became pregnant( the foetus developed in his left thigh). What was the name of that king ?

No, it was Dhrishtadyumna who defeated Duryodhan & he fled. The deaths of Sudarshan by Bhima, Susharma by Arjun & Shakuni & Ulooka by Sahadev came after that.

Next question: who entered the war sometime during day 18, got captured & released and stopped participating as a result?

Yes, this story has been partly fictionalized and converted into a novel by the famous mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik😃 And the book is superbly written and captures your attention till the end.
