Ep. 89: The Illusion of Dusk: Krishna’s Trick and Jayadratha’s Doom
Narrated by Kumar Varun.
On the 14th day, Arjuna raced to kill Jayadratha before sunset—or die trying. As the Kauravas fiercely defended him, Krishna created an illusion, making Jayadratha lower his guard. Arjuna seized the moment, severing his head and fulfilling a deadly curse. As the Pandavas celebrated, the war raged on—now breaking all rules.Sources, Bibliography and Suggested further reading:1.
