* IncompletelyTrained: Ashwathama knows how to invoke and deploy the Brahmastra but not how to retract it. Sage Vyasa really lets him have it for using it that way.

This episode of Series/{{Mahabharata}} begins with Draupadi lounging in the Kauravas’ tent savoring her side’s victory. Her moment is interrupted when Gandhari comes in, groveling, begging forgiveness for her sons’ transgressions.

But Duryodhan still lives. He is moaning in agony as his life slowly ebbs away, but he is still lucid. After insulting the Pandavas one last time, the only other surviving warriors in his army come to him - Ashwathama, Kripacharya and Kritavarma. Duryodhan appoints Ashwathama his new commander of the military and orders him to slay the Pandavas as they sleep. A few moments after they leave to arrack, Duryodhan breathes his last.

Ashwathama assaults the Pandavas tent. He finds a sleeping Dhrishtadyumna and stabs him to death. Dronacharya is avenged. Ashwathama then finds five males sleeping in juxtaposed beds. Thinking they’re the Pandavas, Ashwathama fires arrows into their hearts killing them. Kripacharya and Kritavarma annihilate the camp guards, after which they leave to inform Duryodhan of their success. But Duryodhan is dead. Ashwathama cremates him, disbands the army and goes to Sage Vyasa’s ashram to do penance.

Except Ashwathama failed to achieve his attack’s primary objectives. The Oandavas were sleeping in the Kauravas tent that night, so Ashwathama killed Draupadi’s five sons known as Uppa-Pandavas instead. Vyasa informs him of this, but before Ashwathama can take his leave to go and attack the Pandavas, they catch up to him. And, boy are they pissed!

And then, Ashwathama and Arjun almost destroy the entire universe by firing brahmastra weapons at each other. Vyasa intercepts them both and admonishes both sides for using such weapons and commands them to retract their arrows. Arjun does it, but Ashwathama doesn’t know how to do this. An angry Vyasa yells at him to change its direction instead. Ashwathama directs it ... [[Music/IronMaiden to kiiiilll ... the unborn in the woooooommmb!!]]

For this act, Ashwathama is cursed with a WoundThatWillNotHeal and a FateWorseThsnDeath. And Krishna revives baby Parikshith.
