Tell me about it. They dedicated 3 whole episode to that. I actually paused the Hotstar vid to go check how many more episodes they have of him on the deathbed

I actually got bored & closed Hotstar after the vadh episode finished. There's still the Kunti secret episode left & I don't know how will I watch it 😆 I can't watch it right now. I need a break from Karn & so came here 😆

Oh God The whole Kunti vs Radhama spat on Karn's deathbed is such high level cringe

He was not just dude. Which just ruler put on his kingdom on stake in a gamble? Kingdom isn't his personal property. Did he think about the people living there? He even accepted many of Kaurav gangs' crimes (like Duryodhana feeding poison to Bheem, Duryodhana & co trying to burn them in Lakshagriha etc) to keep peace & maintain his Bhrata Dharm. Even this gambling.... Gambling can never be dharm but he accepted the invitation to maintain his Putra dharm towards his uncle Dhritarashtra. He had his own definition of Dharm & prided himself in being a Dharmik even though it may bring pain to his brothers, his wife & even to his kingdom's common people. How is he just?🤔

Duryodhan was clever to make Vidur ask Yudhishthir for a a game of dice. He is equivalent to a father figure and he couldn’t refuse even if he wanted to. Also back in those days it was not uncommon to bet on kingdoms. He was the embodiment of Dharma and couldn’t even lie. There were many others present in the Sabha who knew Dharma -Bheeshm, Dronacharya, vidur .. but no one stopped Draupadi’a humiliation. You can say the Dharma they followed was flawed.

The incident with Bheem, it was Kunti who had asked keep it a secret. Even Bheeshm knew, why do you think he kept silent. They were trying to avoid bloodshed till it reached its peak.

God! SP at least got one thing right about Karn After knowing that Karn is his brother, Arjun is lamenting that how he has ended up killing his own brother & even in this moment, on death bed, Karn had to suggest that he was the shreshth not Arjun whatever dramatization they did, SP got Karn's obsession over shreshthtta on point. I can soooo imagine this happening like...

Arjun : wtf is wrong with you Jesshhhth Bhrata! You are dying & you are dying because I, your younger brother, unknowingly killed you.... I did such paap....such adharm.....

Karn : I am shreshth. You are not.

Arjun : To hell with shreshthtta. You are my brother Jesshhhth Bhrata & I killed you!

Karn : Still I am the shreshth one here.

Arjun : okay! Whatever! But.....

Karn : Now I can die in peace because you agreed I am shreshth, not you

Arjun : Huh?

Oh God I can't stop rofling

I don't consider Kunti, Vidur or Bheeshm etc very righteous either. I am not arguing over whether they were really righteous or not.... I am saying to me they don't appear to be righteous because they did let many heinous thing happen. Similarly I don't see Yudhishthir as the righteous one either.

And just because it was a common norm, doesn't make it right. By that logic, even Draupadi was indeed a Dasi after she was staked & won over & her Vastra haran is no such big deal since Dasis were treated like that by many (remember Ambika/ Ambalika sent a Dasi for the niyoga in her place? Dhritarashtra had fathered a son with a Dasi & I am sure many other kings did so too. Did the Dasis always consent to such things? Or did it just not matter?). But that doesn't make what happened with Draupadi any right. Let's leave alone kingdom. Was staking his brothers & wife right? Was that Dharm? He could have just called it quits when he lost his kingdom & properties. But he went on & staked his brothers & wife. That can no way be Dharm or just behaviour towards his brothers & wife.

Not to me.

To me, Yudhishthir will never be a good King from what I have learnt about him so far.

@ lonewalker

Whether the daasi was willing to go or not I cannot say, but she respected the Sage and that’s why Vidur was born as a dharm gyata.

When Lord Krishna aa Par Brahm took avtar, other gods and goddesses too and he’s said to be a part avtar of Dharmraj.

Pandu’s mother went pale and hence pandu was born pale.. Dhitrashtra’a mother closed her eyes and he was born blind.

How children are conceived and what intent is important. Gandhari was very unhappy when she was pregnant. Believe it or not, all these things are very important and I have seen this in real life as well.

By the way Yudhishthir was born in moon nakshtra of jyeshtha .. which means shresht and the eldest but the mind becomes weak as moon is debilated in Scorpio.. which is a sign of sudden events and hence one becomes vulnerable. He’s lagna was Abhiijeet which makes him invincible or the one that can’t be defeated. I don’t understand why after taking out muhrat he was born in jyeshtha.

Bheem has an adorable bond in the show with all his younger brothers especially Nakul & Arjun and of course Draupadi
