->''"What crime has my brother committed, O supreme archer? Why don’t you push me aside to get to my brother? After all, I’m not important to you at all, am I!! When I was dragged by my hair to the royal court and almost stripped off my clothes, all five sons of Kunti just sat and watched. And did nothing! And this Dronacharya, whose death has angered you so much, also was present in that court. And my beloved Abhimanyu was killed while disarmed by him and his army."''

* CannotTellALie: In this adaptation, Yudhistir is actually incapable of lying. So, when Dronacharya demands to know if Ashwathama is really dead, Yudhistir responds “Ashwathama is dead!” But then mutters too soft for Dronacharya to hear “The animal, not the human”. So Yudhistir is incapable of telling a lie, but he is capable of modulating his voice such that the whole truth isn’t audible!



* ExactWords: Bhim screams that “Ashwathama is dead”. This is partially true - he did kill an elephant named Ashwathama.

This episode of Series/{{Mahabharata}} continues where we left off on Day 15 of the Kurukshetra war. Dronacharya is unstoppable today, killing King Viraat and his frenemy King Drupad in short order. Even the gods cannot persuade him to stop.

And then, under Krishna’s guidance, the Pandavas deploy the dirtiest trick in their arsenal to defeat him - disinformation.
