Ep. 82: The Hunt for Jayadratha

Narrated by Kumar Varun. After learning of Abhimanyu’s tragic death, Arjuna takes a solemn oath—to slay Jayadratha before sunset the next day or sacrifice his own life. As news of this vow spreads, the Kauravas fortify their defenses, placing Jayadratha behind an impenetrable wall of warriors. With time running out, Arjuna faces relentless opposition, including a fierce standoff with Dronacharya. Can he break through the Kaurava lines and fulfill his deadly promise before the sun sets?Source, Bibliography and Suggested further readings:1. Vyasa, Krishna Dwaipayana. The Mahabharata.
