Note: After watching Drona's death as shown in SPK I was dejected,disappointed at the way they distorted the whole incident to show Karna as Mahan,Arjun as weak and disloyal and Aswathama as a helpless man who ought to be protected by the great SID Putr Karn. So for those who are interested to know what was described in the Epic,this is exactly how it happened.

-After The Death Of Ghatotkach --

Duryodhan approached Drona and abused him." O Guru Dron! You are the best of bow wielders. But due to your partiality for Pandavas and my bad luck you are ignoring them and not venturing to kill them.You have all the Devine weapons with you. Still you look passive and considerate."

Dron was miffed and replied vehemently." Duryothan! I am old in age. Still I am putting forth all my efforts in the battle field.Still you doubt my intention. I tell you. Arjun if excited with wrath then neither devas nor Rakshasas nor mortals can bear him.I need not list out his victories before you. Just yesterday he killed Jayathrath before our eyes killing seven akshouhinis. Don't ever think he is worn out or exhausted.I swear I won't take my armour out until I slaughter Panchalas. But I repeat no one can conquer Arjun never."

Duryothan got angry and admitted." If you are unable to do so myself,Karna,Dussasan and Sakuni will proceed against Arjun and slay him for sure."

Drona laughed and taunted." Duryothan only fools like you think so.Who will return safe having encountered Arjuna in battle? Still if you want you can proceed with your gambler uncle Sakuni and your great friend Karna. There stands the third Pandav the wielder of Gandiva. Go now."

A fierce battle followed with Arjun displaying great technique and skills of archery that made any one and every one lose their lives there itself. Due.to the dust raised due to the dense arrows showered by Savyasachi all around,all the troops became blind.

Drona moved away in northern direction and slaughtered the Panchalas mercilessly.Displaying his great prowess he killed King Drupada his eternal foe who once was his Friend. Arjun and the other Pandavas also mourned Drupada's loss by silently praying for his soul to rest in piece.

But the call of battlefield never let the warrior to brood over the loss of their own people. Soon Arjun found himself face to face with Guru Dron and a terrible battle took place with both of them showing equal prowess and gaining applause.Every astra Drona hurled had been countered with a suitable Astra,by Arjuna.Drona then shrouded Jishnu with the mightiest of weapons.Arjun baffled all of them and won the heart of his teacher.Drona considered himself superior to every one in the world because of having Arjun as his desciple.The Siddhas Devas and Gandharvas who are watching the Guru Sishya battle praised them.Then Drona invoked Brahmastra.The nature and surroundings trembled with the power of that Astra. Arjun fearlessly baffled that with his own Brahmastra and pacified the nature.As no result was seen with both of them proving equals in every way,they diverted their chariots to tackle others much to the despair of Duryothan.

After Drupada even Virata succumbed to Drona's arrows. The noble king who gave shelter to Pandavas ,the father of Uttara proved his loyalty by staying with Pandavas till his end.

Drona's rampage continued on Panchala warriors in a devastating manner.On seeing their dreadful Guru Pandavas lost hopes of victory.

Yudhishtir desparately expressed his concern before his brothers and Krishna." Certainly Drona will consume all of us in battle.None of us can even look at him except Arjun.But he will not fight with him wholeheartedly. " Krishna looked at Arjuna and said." Your Guru Dron can not be vanquished unless he puts aside his weapons in battle field.But he will do it if he hears of Aswathama's death."

Arjun 's face became pale and he disapproved the idea.Yudhishtir accepted the idea and looked at Bheema.

With great might Bheema killed an elephant called Aswathama with his mace.He then approached Drona and said." Aswathama has been slain in battle."

Drona's limbs stopped supporting him. He leaned on the pole of the chariot.He then tried to recover thinking of Aswathama's invincibility .He rushed towards Srinjayas and Panchalas and slaughtered them looking like Rudra at the end of the world.Suddenly great sages Viswamitra,Vasishta,Kasyapa Atri and others appeared in the sky visible only to Drona and advised him to cease fighting and lay aside his weapons." Drona,you behaved unlike a Brahmin. You used Brahmastra on innocent Kshatriyas.Now time has come for you to stop these sinful acts that are not suitable to a Brahmin."

Then Drona saw Bheema and Dhrisht Dyumn before him and became cheerless.He remembered Bheema's words about his son.He then approached Yudhishtir and said." Tell me O Yudhishtir.Is it true that what Bheema uttered just now? I want to hear from you."

Krishna then told Yudhi in a low voice." I am telling you. Your Guru is capable of annihilating your whole army. There is no sin if you tell untruth to save your people."

Bheema urged his Eldest." I just killed an elephant called Aswathama. So you won't incur sin if you say so.Follow the word of Kanha. Save our people."

Fearing to utter an untruth but earnestly desirous of victory Yudhishtir distinctly said." Aswathama was dead." He then added in a low voice." An elephant."

Drona heard his words and plunged in grief.He became cheerless and distressed.At that moment Dhrishtdyumn started fighting with Drona who reciprocated his attack halfheartedly.

Bheemsen got angry and ridiculed Dron." You seem to doubt the words of Yudhishtir the just. But know the truth . Your son was no more.

Drona felt dejected and addressed Duryothan." Yuvraj Duryothan.I am quitting the battle. I keep aside my weapons."

Then Drona sat on the terrace of his chariot and resorted to yoga.He went into a tranquilled state and fixed his mind on the Supreme being.Drona then was able to free his soul from his body and left for heavenly regions.Only five people witnessed that wonderful event the soul of Drona flying higher leaving his body. They are Krishna,Arjun,Aswathama,Sanjaya and Yudhishtir.

Dhrishtdyumn then jumped on to Drona's chariot and with sword in hand became ready to cut off his head,Arjun alone with tears in eyes cried out to Dhrishtdyumn." Bring my Guru here. Dhrisht don't slay him" Dhrisht disregarded Arjun's cries and chopped off Drona's head from his body.

Bheemsen embraced Dhrisht and hailed him.You did a great thing Dhrisht.I am relieved now"

The Kuru army started running away on seeing the slaughter of the preceptor.Aswathama was informed about the way his father was cheated by Pandavas taking his name.

Aswathama trembled with anger and shouted." Yuvraj. I will make Dharma's son repent for his misdeed.I will show Dhrishtdyumn what I can do to him.There is none in this world equal to me and Arjuna in the knowledge of weapons.I got the most powerful Narayanastra from my father.I will hurl it against Pandavas. They should endure the result of their wretched deed.

The NARAYANASTRA was invoked,violent winds started blowing Thunder was heard in the sky without clouds.A certain darkness pervaded the battle field.The nature looked tremendously agitated. The Pandava army shivered with fear and lost their courage.

Yudhishtir was terrified and asked Arjun." What is happening Arjun? Who is striking us now? I am scared on seeing the change in atmosphere."

Arjun replied in a bitter voice." It is Aswathama Eldest.In consequence of the slaughter of his father,he is ready to burn us alive.He believed that you will never tell untruth to him. But you betrayed his belief. Even though I cried again and again Dhrisht did that wretched act of killing my Guru. Now all of us combined together can not save him from Aswathama's wrath.Our dear preceptor had been slain for the sake of short lived Soverienity.I tell you. We are unrighteous.Even I betrayed my dear Guru. He thought that Arjun will stand by him come what may. But I could not stop Dhrisht. I will sink into hell for failing my Guru.Fie on me."

Bheema approached Arjun and reprimanded him." Enough of your Guru Bhakti Arjun. This dear preceptor of you stood motionless when your wife was dragged in the court and humiliated.You must have forgotten the loss he caused to our side but I won't . I never regret anything done today. He is my rival. That's all.

Dhrisht then argued with Arjun." Dhananjay! In what angle he looked like a Brahmin ? He is ruthless. He used celestial weapons on innocent soldiers. After entering the battle field we should not count with whom we are fighting. And that is why you slaughtered your own grandfather. Don't forget my birth itself happened for the slaughter of Drona. I still can not negate you harshly because of Draupadi,my sister is your wife.But I can tell you soon victory will be yours. Don't regret now."

Madhav's Parth still had tears in his eyes and reminisced his Guru Dron and his affection.' Forgive me Gurudev. Forgive your Arjun."He prayed in his heart.

Satyaki sided with Arjun and blamed Dhrisht with harsh words. Both the warriors lost control and became ready to strike each other with weapons. Krishna,Yudhishtir and Sahadev pacified them in time.

In the mean while the Narayanastra invoked by Aswathama blazed like the Sun and created innumerable weapons that struck Pandava army.That great Astra consumed the Pandava forces and created havoc within minutes.Yudhishtir felt agitated and said thus in a sarcastic manner." Dhrishtdyumn flee with your Panchal army.Satyaki take your Anthakas and Vrishnis and leave the battlefield. The great Vasudeva will do whatever he wants. I with my brothers will ascend the funeral pyre.Let Duryothan be crowned as the king.As Arjun said I am at fault being the reason for Drona's death. That Drona who did not say a word during the dice game and when Draupadi was iinsulted.That Drona who planned Chakravyuh and caused child Abhi's death.Good for me. I will immolate myself in the fire of Aswathama.

Arjun desparately looked at Krishna unable to bear the distress of his Eldest.Krishna stood in the chariot and ordered the Pandava warriors to lay down their weapons,standing on the ground.He said." Submit before Narayanastra. That is the only way to save your lives."

Every one followed Krishna's words and submitted themselves before Narayanastra except Bheema,who said." Arjun I will face Narayanastra with my mace. You also should not put aside your Gandiva." Arjun answered with composure." Bhrata Bheem I won't use my Gandiv against Narayanastra,Cows and Brahmins. That is my vow."

Immediately the Narayanastra left every one around and fell upon Bheema.Bheema's chariot was covered by the blazing fire of Narayanastra.Arjun instantly invoked Varuna weapon and covered Bheema with it.That deed of Arjun was not visible to anyone else but Krishna.

Still Aswathama's Astra kept itself ablaze around Bheem as he still held his weapon in hand.

Then Krishna and Arjun ran towards Bheema and dived into the fire created by Narayanastra.

The fire did not harm them as they had no weapons and also due to the power of Varunastra and much due to the energy possessed by Nar,Narayan.

Krishna and Arjuna dragged Bheema on to the ground making him get rid of his weapons.Bheema roared like a lion but Krishna and Arjun made him lie down. Within a minute Narayanastra got pacified.

Aswathama stood stupefied .He can not use Narayanastra again.that is prohibited.

Duryothan felt disappointed and urged Aswathama to hurl another Divyastr and destroy the Pandavas.

Aswathama fought fiercely and defeated Satyaki,Bheema and Dhrisht. He also killed young prince of Chedi and looked like the eleventh Rudra.

Arjun faced Aswathama and challenged him for a dual. Aswathama afflicted by wrath touched water and invoked the fierce Agneya Astra and made every one struck by fear.The universe seemed to be in fever scorched by heat.The Pandava army started burning due to the fire created by Agneyastr.

Arjun invoked Brahmastr capable of baffling every other weapon.Within a moment fire extinguished and cool winds started blowing much to the relief of Pandava side.

The Kaurava warriors who thought that Krishna and Arjun must have gone were shocked to see them unwounded and unscratched.

Aswathama felt dejected and left the battlefield. He could not understand why his Agneyastr failed to harm the two Krishna's.

Vyasa appeared before him and explained." Aswathama.Krishna is Narayan himself.He is the supreme deity who created Nar his soulmate equal to him in energy and power. Those two did severe penance at Badarivan. Now both of them incarnated as Krishna and Arjun to relieve the burden of earth. They always indulge in the worship of Shiv Sankar. They worship ling Swarup Mahadev while you worship Sankar in his sakar Swaroop.Due to their devotion Shiv made them invincible.Dont feel bad. No one can vanquish them at all."

Aswathama sighed with despair and bowed before the sage.

As the Sun set in the western horizon,both sides ceased fighting and retired from the battle field.

Well,this is the way Drona died . When Dhrisht chopped off his head his soul already left his body. It was clearly given.Not like the cold blooded murder as shown in SPK.

Arjun never is a part of the plan.he opposed it. Clearly given again.

Karna is nowhere at that time to fight with Arjun or overcome him and run to save Aswathama.

Aswathama was far away returns only after knowing his father's death.

Aswathama is a great warrior knows almost all astras except Pasupat,he is not inferior to Karna rather he saved Karna from Arjun on fourteenth day.

Finally when Narayanastra episode is going on no mention of Karna anywhere.

On the whole the role of Karna during the death of Drona is nothing .

Arjun never agreed for the slaughter of Drona never at all

Thanks Nonie.I will definitely post the two days happenings under the leadership of Karna. BR Chopra misled people by showing Arjun's defeat by Karna on sixteenth day which is wrong. My next post will be the Karna Arjun war as per the Epic bit by bit.Read and post your comment.

. Thanks Rakhee.The way they are demeaning the valour of Aswathama,Arjun really hurts a lot. By posting the events as told in the Epic I get mental peace. Thanks for your encouragement. Next in line is the most important part in which I know they will highlight the lead at the cost of Arjun. But truth prevails finally.
