Ep.87: Bhima’s Wrath: The Fall of the Kaurava Princes

Narrated by Kumar Varun. Bhima’s fury explodes as he cuts through the Kaurava ranks, slaughtering Duryodhana’s brothers one by one. Even Vikarna, the only Kaurava who defended Draupadi, falls to Bhima’s unstoppable rage. Meanwhile, Karna and Bhima engage in a brutal duel, but Karna, bound by his promise to Kunti, refuses to kill him—choosing instead to insult him. Just as Bhima prepares to strike back, Arjuna and Krishna arrive, forcing Karna to retreat. The sun inches closer to the horizon, and the battle for Jayadratha is far from over.Sources, Bibliography and Suggested further reading:1. Vyasa, Maharishi. The Mahabharata (Critical Edition).
