A common misconception, that this friendship/ indebtedness (to Duryodhan) started with Rangbhoomi. WRONG. They were pals since much before. A much more disturbing fact is mentioned in real MB. The Varnavat plot was not first homicidal attempt...He WAS an accomplice in poisoning child Bhim !!! And no, this is not an empty laim. Vyas MB has documented mention. Krishna Himself convict him of this gross crime. Just look at degree of hatred. This time, even this so called provocation ( Rangbhoomi) was not in picture, not that it provides any justification for Varnavat crime later either...🤢
Dude, i knew it was going downhill from the time Karna said to Krishna that he supports the stopping of this war --- i just sat and stared for some minutes and then laughed hysterically because who the hell is this even? did we have this character in the epic and forgot about him?
-- this person was not defeated by Drupad
--this person was not the 'root' of the lac house conspiracy, instead someone who was completely traumatized and changed by this incident and his friends cruelty which hurt his weepy heart --hah!
-- this person did not attack Arjuna and then ran away after the swayamvar
-- this person was no defeated by arjuna twice during virata war.
--this person did not order the stripping, he just supported his friend.
-- this person was not involved in the conspiracy to capture Krishna, instead he tried to stop his beloved friend.
-- Krishna did not include this person during the tongue lashing in HP court
So honestly, i ask -- who is this character and why have not i read about him before?
