His manipulations bore fruit and first mark appears with Swara's waking up in an unfamiliar room. The glance into Lakshya's pov was brilliant.
Coming to Sanskar, his situation reminds me of the fool who climbed a tree and began sawing off the very branch he was sitting on.
So blinded Sanskar is that he doesn't understand that his apparently good intentions and justified actions are going to destroy him at the same pace.
On Mahabharata context (its a fav of mine), Sanskar and DP remind me of Karna and Bhisma.
