Hey.. Does anyone know what those blue stones were?
Not too sure, but I have a feeling that since they were sent by Krishna himself, they could signify something beyond a material use.. Something inspiring and with a deeper meaning?





I have a feeling that they will be used for identification later in the Swayamvara😕 Meaning that is how Krishna identified Arjuna and co.??

Gandhari's one son was Vikarna and another Dushkarna. I do not think any other son of Gandhari had "Karna" in his name. I do not think MB is referring to Vikarna and Dushkarna because MB refers to Karna as "even the mighty Karna". Although it can be argued that Vikarna and Dushkarna were also mighty, but the phrase sounds as if Karna was mightier than others in the Kaurav army who went to war with Drupad. So, it has to be the Kunti's son Karna.


Here is the list of Gandhari's sons:

"Vaisampayana said, 'Their names, O king, according to the order of birth, are Duryodhana, Yuyutsu, Duhsasana, Duhsaha, Duhsala, Jalasandha, Sama, Saha, Vinda and Anuvinda, Durdharsha, Suvahu, Dushpradharshana, Durmarshana and Durmukha, Dushkarna, and Karna; Vivinsati and Vikarna, Sala, Satwa, Sulochana, Chitra and Upachitra, Chitraksha, Charuchitra, Sarasana, Durmada and Durvigaha, Vivitsu, Vikatanana; Urnanabha and Sunabha, then Nandaka and Upanandaka; Chitravana, Chitravarman, Suvarman, Durvimochana; Ayovahu, Mahavahu, Chitranga, Chitrakundala, Bhimavega, Bhimavala, Balaki, Balavardhana, Ugrayudha; Bhima, Karna, Kanakaya, Dridhayudha, Dridhavarman, Dridhakshatra, Somakitri, Anudara; Dridhasandha, Jarasandha, Satyasandha, Sada, Suvak, Ugrasravas, Ugrasena, Senani, Dushparajaya, Aparajita, Kundasayin, Visalaksha, Duradhara; Dridhahasta, Suhasta, Vatavega, and Suvarchas; Adityaketu, Vahvashin, Nagadatta, Agrayayin; Kavachin, Krathana, Kunda, Kundadhara, Dhanurdhara; the heroes, Ugra and Bhimaratha, Viravahu, Alolupa; Abhaya, and Raudrakarman, and Dridharatha; Anadhrishya, Kundabhedin, Viravi, Dhirghalochana Pramatha, and Pramathi and the powerful Dhirgharoma; Dirghavahu, Mahavahu, Vyudhoru, Kanakadhvaja; Kundasi and Virajas. Besides these hundred sons, there was a daughter named Duhsala. All were heroes and Atirathas, and were well-skilled in warfare. All were learned in the Vedas, and all kinds of weapons. And, O, king, worthy wives were in time selected for all of them by Dhritarashtra after proper examination. And king Dhritarashtra, O monarch, also bestowed Duhsala, in proper time and with proper rites, upon Jayadratha (the king of Sindhu).'


Karna is mentioned twice, but if you count, there are 101, so Karna is duplicated.

So it's perfectly possible that the Karna who went here was the Karna listed above and not Kunti's Karna.

Other hilarious thing that they showed today was after Bhima had destroyed Duryodhan's statue, Duryodhan was furious & tried to attack him, but Karna pulled him away & restrained him. 🤣

If only the real Karna had been like that.

On a different note, Kunti being embarrassed @ Karna's humiliation? Why can't she then speak out? Oh, I forgot, Priyamvada. Hope Yudisthira gives her (Priyamvada) a good whipping 😈 like Shatrughan gave Manthara

Since when was Drupada a wrestler? And Arjun discussing the Chakravyuha w/ Subhadra? Why, is he planning to w/ his brothers form a Chakravyuha for Drupada to penetrate? He needs a large army for that, not just 5 warriors.

His comment to Subhadra - does your brother think he knows everything - was the most crass depiction of Arjun that I could have imagined, given that he's Arjun.

Oh, and Shakuni telling Gandhari about the birth of Shikhandi, and how it'd be useful for them in killing Bheeshma? Who'd know that in the war, it's Bheeshma who'd be on his side, and Shikhandi on the other?

i think its drupad planning for a chakravayuh for arjun to penetrate not the other way round atleast that is what they showed in the promo.And currently pandavas and kauravas are going with the entire army to attack Panchal.

Mahabharat refers to him as "even the mighty Karna" as if he was mightier than others in the army. I do not think Gandhari's son Karna was mightier than others in that army. Otherwise, his name would have got mentioned several times in Mahabharat and that too, quite clearly.

Shikhandini introduced...the reason Bhishma could be defeated.
Due to the boon Amba received, Bhishma was destined to side the Kauravas as there was no other way she could be the reason of his death.

My ears went red hot and heartbeat increased suddenly...Shikhandini ka prabhav 😆
