Officially-released "Durvasha" promo. Can't ⭐️B even spell names correctly?

And it looks like we might even have the story of the Akshay Patra - Draupadi says "mere patra mein kuch bhi nahin hai..."

Actually, no. This is what I thought as well, but reading Virata parva, looks like the reason Duryodhan wanted to attack Matsya was due to his alliance w/ Susharma, and the desire to gain some military glory.

"Vaisampayana said, 'Discomfited before, O monarch, many a time and oft by Matsya's Suta Kichaka aided by the Matsyas and the Salyas, the mighty king of the Trigartas, Susarman, who owned innumerable cars, regarding the opportunity to be a favourable one, then spoke the following words without losing a moment. And, O monarch, forcibly vanquished along with his relatives by the mighty Kichaka, king Susarman, eyeing Karna in askance, spoke these words unto Duryodhana, 'My kingdom hath many a time been forcibly invaded by the king of the Matsyas. The mighty Kichaka was that king's generalissimo. Crooked and wrathful and of wicked soul, of prowess famed over all the world, sinful in deeds and highly cruel, that wretch, however, hath been slain by the Gandharvas, Kichaka being dead, king Virata, shorn of pride and his refuge gone, will, I imagine, lose all courage I think, we ought now to invade that kingdom, if it pleases thee, O sinless one, as also the illustrious Karna and all the Kauravas. The accident that hath happened is, I imagine, a favourable one for us. Let us, therefore, repair to Virata's kingdom abounding in corn. We will appropriate his gems and other wealth of diverse kinds, and let us go to share with each other as regards his villages and kingdom. Or, invading his city by force, let us carry off by thousands his excellent kine of various species. Uniting, O king, the forces of the Kauravas and the Trigartas, let us lift his cattle in droves. Or, uniting our forces well, we will check his power by forcing him to sue for peace. Or, destroying his entire host, we will bring Matsya under subjection. Having brought him under subjection by just means, we will live in our kingdom happily, while thy power also will, without doubt, be enhanced.' Hearing these words of Susarman, Karna addressed the king, saying, 'Susarman hath spoken well; the opportunity is favourable and promises to be profitable to us. Therefore, if it pleases thee, O sinless one, let us, drawing up our forces in battle array and marshalling them in divisions, speedily set out. Or, let the expedition be managed as Saradwata's son Kripa, the preceptor Drona, and the wise and aged grandsire of the Kurus may think. Consulting with each other, let us, O lord of earth, speedily set out to attain our end. What business have we with the sons of Pandu, destitute as they are of wealth, might, and prowess? They have either disappeared for good or have gone to the abode of Yama? We will, O king, repair without anxiety to Virata's city, and plunder his cattle and other wealth of diverse kinds.'

Note that there is no mention above about Keechak's killing being possible only from Bhima. That's a latter invention.

In today's epi, I wonder if ⭐️B will actually "tweak" the questions of the Yaksha prashna...[/QUOTE

😆 Why is everyone here so suspicious of them????

Thanks for clarification Vrish.

I always trust you to come up with accurate information

But why do you guys think Keechak won't be shown. It was an important thing

I am so happy the Durvasa story will be shown! I just love this story so much because it's another instance when Krishna comes to the rescue of his sakhi Draupadi. Pooja looks very pretty in her vanvaas outfit. I hope they do not rush the vanvaas episodes too much and show us some nice scenes between the Pandavas and Draupadi.
