About this listen

Narrated by Kumar Varun.

On the eleventh day of the Kurukshetra war,Duryodhana tasked Drona with capturing Yudhishthira alive, hoping to exploit the Pandava king’s adherence to dharma. The Pandavas fortified Yudhishthira’s defenses, anticipating Drona’s plan. Drona unleashed his formidable prowess, scattering the Pandava forces. However, Arjuna, with Krishna’s guidance, intervened just in time, forcing Drona to retreat. The day ended with Yudhishthira safe and the Pandavas celebrating a small yet vital victory.Sources, Bibliography and Suggested further readings:1. Vyasa, Krishna Dwaipayana. The Mahabharata.
