The parivartan desired by Karna now shown by Vrishaketu...now, one big happy family!!

Too bad the whole Mahabharat wasn't like this!!😆😆😆

The last three days of the show = last three parvas...??

Let's see how much they stick to the text material considering this part of the story has never been covered by any other adaptation before.

I was listening to a sannyasi lecture in at our local temple last week and he mentioned that the arrow that Jara the hunter shot (thinking Lord Krishna's feet to be a deer's head) didn't actually piece Krishna. I got curious so I investigated and I came across this following purport.

"According to rla Vivantha Cakravart hkura, the statement that the arrow "pierced the Lord's foot" expresses the point of view of the hunter, who thought he had struck a deer. In fact the arrow merely touched the Lord's lotus foot and did not pierce it, since the Lord's limbs are composed of eternity, knowledge and bliss. Otherwise, in the description of the next verse (that the hunter became fearful and fell down with his head upon the Lord's feet), ukadeva Gosvm would have stated that he extracted his arrow from the Lord's foot."

It's an interesting take compared to the otherwise usual statement that Krishna died by being pierced by the arrow.

I know of families wherein people of different generations have a "friendship-like" equation due to the (lack of) age difference...but this is Dwapar yuga.

Considering Abhimanyu and Vrishaketu are cousins, Vrishaketu is supposed to be Parikshit's oldest living taatshree (if I have the relation correct)...yet, they look and behave like bros here...🤔

And the weirdest part - Have you ever heard of the uncle being younger than his nephew?? I'm not even kidding!!🤪
That is exactly why Vrishaketu refused the Hastinapur throne - because Parikshit was born first!! In other words, Vrishaketu (the uncle) is younger than Parikshit (his nephew)!! 🤪🤣

My father's cousins (my aunt and my uncle) are younger to me. So well that's possible

From the precap it looks that they are not going to stick to the original. Considering that they have never shown Satyaki and Pradyumna they cannot show them suddenly. So yeah everything on Samba.

Today's epi...🥱🥱🥱

One full episode for Samba's drunken antics 🤢🤢🤢

As mentioned, the epic characters who startted the brawl never showed up in this show. But, showing Samba as a drunkard for one full episode?? That too when the show is nearing its end??? 😕

And the Yadavas faced destruction on Samba's birthday...🤔

And no matter what - Draupadi gets insulted (and it was Kritvarma this time) 🤢

Precap - The fighting between the Yadavas...

If they actually take two days for Mausala Parva (in the final three days of the show), and they even have to focus on Arjun's reaction (as he is currently heading to Dwarka)...

I now have a feeling the final episode will be Vrishaketu being shown as the most mahaan king of Anga and living up to SidT putra Karna's legacy...

Don't these writers have any idea about the difference between "Kurukshetra ka yudh" and "Mahabharat"? 😕

My ears were bleeding every single time the line "mahabharat hua tha" was uttered...😡

And Balram saying he will create one more "mahabharat" if Krishna gets insulted one more time...*mega facepalm*

Like how? Giving continuous non stop dictation to Ganesha? Or, finding another Bharata and ensuring that this new Bharata dynasty continues?

*shakes head*

Considering that SidT is incharge of both SPK and StarMB, looks like he had to maintain that bit of consistency between the two shows (no matter the distortions)...

Remember StarMB Krishna saying that he will himself bring about the destruction of his vansh...basically being implemented here.

Thank goodness this show is ending now...
