When was Sweta slain?

And, Shalya killing Uttar was the highlight of the 1st Day. Also, there was a gadayudha between Bhima and Dushashan on the 1st Day.

Day 1: Sword duel between Grandpa Gandolf and Abhimanyu.

Sword duel is still better than underwater wrestling. 😆



I would love to see this one 😳

King Kuru was the founder of this land named Kurukshetra who practiced extreme penance to make it righteous. The king used the gold of his chariot to make a plough and borrowed lord Shiva's cow and Yama's buffalo to start his cultivation. He was cultivating eight-fold virtues namely tapa, truth, forgiveness, kindness, purity, charity, yoga and brahmacharya when lord Indra came and questioned his act. On being answered, Indra laughed and went away. Thereafter Narayana approached the king and questioned the same to get an identical reply. Narayana asked him to hand over the seeds and he would sow them, Kuru offered his entire body. This act pleased Narayana and he blessed the king. Indra too appeared and asked Kuru to seek boon. Kuru asked two boons:
1. This land would remain holy forever, named after himself.
2. Anyone dying here may attain freedom from the cycles of birth and death irrespective of his sins.

Did anyone try to talk "truce" in the midst of the war, being put off by the massacre taking place?

Or was the Udyoga Parva the only case of "peace negotiations"?

If Sudheshna would have been there, it would be fun to watch the Sude-Drau Convo after this...🤣🤣🤣
