I should have added - it was ridiculous to state that Draupadi was punished for rejecting Karna, insulting both Dury & Dhritarashtra, while Arjun was punished for causing Ekalavya to lose his thumb and his education!

Also, ltelidevara, at the end, the throne was not Indra's. Yudhi entered Vaikuntha, where he saw Arjun worshipping Krishna. That was where he ended up. Both Yudhisthir & Arjun ended up in Vaikuntha, but not w/ their fathers. Karna, Bhima, Nakul & Sahadev were different - they ended up w/ their fathers.

I stand corrected on the Pandavas knowing their divine births. But none of them ever proclaimed it.

Also, Krishna wanted all the great powers to be destroyed at Kurukshetra, so to depict him giving a bhashan of how wonderful it would have been had the 106 of them just got along was just silly.

Uff why they glorified karna so much! All knows he was not so perfect! In fact none was perfect. I would say not dharma raj also. Cuz i think staking ones wife is completedly foolish thing and cant be done by a sensible person and even without consultation of anyone. No kffence here just my thoughts. Everyone have a white and black side but sidt either washed e1 with white ir completely black. Lyk srsly. They r humans not dev or asur!!


That was a different age. In those times lying to a Guru was a bigger sin than selling/assaulting women-be it citizens or wife. I guess, Draupadi's insult was a such a huge deal bcoz she was a Queen...😭

I feel lyk screaming from rooftop and say Kurukshetra was NOT because of draupadi it was totally for the reign!!!🤢 do people thing the person u bet u would fight for her sole?? Nope! It is lyk slapping one and saying I am sorry!! Gosh some people in this world...well leave it it is SPK Disscussion thread not drau AT😆

l these foremost of persons entered the deities. Soma's son of great prowess, named Varchas of mighty energy, became Abhimanyu, the son of Phalguna, that lion among men. Having fought, agreeably to Kshatriya practices, with bravery such as none else had ever been able to show, that mighty-armed and righteous-souled being entered Soma. Slain on the field of battle, O foremost of men, Karna entered Surya. Shakuni obtained absorption into Dwapara, and Dhrishtadyumna into the deity of fire. The sons of Dhritarashtra were all Rakshasas of fierce might. Sanctified by death caused by weapons, those high-souled beings of prosperity all succeeded in attaining to Heaven. Both Kshattri and king Yudhishthira entered into the god of Righteousness. The holy and illustrious Ananta (who had taken birth as Balarama) proceeded to the region below the Earth.

Yudhishtir entered into the God of righteousness. Clearly given . Ofcourse He visited Krishna Arjun in Vaikuntha and was received by them with honour. But that is not his last stop. That is his first stop. From there he proceeds and visits his brothers Karna and Draupadi in various places.
After that Janamejaya asks what happened to them later on then the above description was given.. There it was mentioned Yudhi merged in Dharma.I will give BORI reference also.

Janamejaya questions after he listens the way Yudhi saw all of them in different places. His journey started with Vaikuntha . He saw Krishna with chaturbhuj Sankh chakr etc worshipped by Phalgun. He was received by them with respect but continued then to see others and Draupadi.
After that Janamejaya asks
Ante Va karmanah Kam Te Gatim prapta nararshabhah.

At the end of their Karma what status those Bulls among men attained?

Vaisampayana replies.
Gantavyam karmanamante sarvena manujadhipa
Srunu Guhyamidam Rajan Devanam Bharatarshabha.

O Bull among Bharatas. O King listen to this Devine secret( or secret of gods) at the end of their Karma the place reached by them..

Then he starts with Bheeshma who became the eighth Vasu. Then Drona merged in Brihaspati.

Aavivesa Ravim Karnah pitaram Purusharshabha
Dwaparam Sakunih Prapa Dhrishtadyumnastu Pavakam

Karna entered his father Surya.Sakuni entered Dwapara and Dhrisht in Agni.

DHARMAMEVAVISAT Kshatta Raja chaiva YUDHISHTIRAH

King Yudhishtir entered Dharma. Vidura also entered Dharma.
So Yudhishtir's final destination is not Vaikuntha.He was born of Yamadharmaraj and he entered into his father only.
Arjun was Vishnu ansh So he along with Krishna who is Vishnu himself stayed in Vaikuntha.

Agree with you Vrish.It was the ignorance of the CVs that made Sony Krishna say those words.
As if Lord bothered to take birth only to solve the family feud.

And the throne on which Karna sat definitely looked like he sat on Indra's throne. Where in heaven all these 106 met?

Finally caught up with the end...
Vivid descriptions but it was alright...

The story towards the end was a a bit skewed as expected but I felt it was overkill depicting Karna as the king of heavens in the end...

Still.. I liked the sets and music and the performance of the kids in the show was fabulous...

It has been almost a month since the show ended.
Shouldn't the forum have been "Archived" by now?
