Exactly my point.

If in ⭐️B, Virata really knew who the Pandavas were right from the beginning, how is it that ⭐️Yudi the "dyut virodhi" was playing dice in Monday's epi, that too after such a horrible fiasco?

I mean, epic Yudi at least has the excuse of being a dice / gambling addict. But what is the excuse of ⭐️Yudi the "dyut virodhi"?

Idk about that, Shani. Check out his objections and hesitation prior to the game when Vidur extends the invite in Sabha Parva. Aside from acknowledging Shakuni's chhal-kapat tendencies, he pretty much calls gambling a sin and tries to get Vidur to tell him not to do it so that one father figure's order could override the other. And since he implies that tactic would have worked on him, I think it was neither addiction nor kshatriya code that motivated him to play as much as obedience to a wrongly chosen father figure. Even though Draupadi refers to it as a gambling problem later on, I think that it was more of a backhanded motivational tactic. When you call someone weak, they have a tendency to want to show their strength. When you call them a reckless gambler, they may become more likely to demonstrate caution and self-control. So yeah, I think it was a case of Krishnaa demonstrating the rhetorical skills she's learned from Krishna.

But, seeing that the Pandavas/Krishna are the heroes here, so they glorify them because if they don't then what will be the difference between the heroes and non-heroes or whatever since even those are heroes and need some heavy glorification of their own. Like, you can whitewash to an extent, you whitewash the personality but you overglorigy the person by playing up their part in events ... seeing that K-A, Pandavas, Panchali have more screen space ... so the whitewashing and goldenwashing is constant ... I dont know how much Krishna can be glorified and if he has to be then i haven't seen Kunti, Dhritrashtra or anyone really behaving like they are ready to fall at the feets of the Avatar ... balancing that out with overexposure.
Arjuna is taking away the glory of his brothers because his own glory needs to be downplayed to make sure that the antiheroes and nonheroes are getting their own share of goldenwashing and over glorification.


I second your thoughts Medha
