Chapter 27: The Final Showdown [2]

A certain deceitful act often comes to my mind. It is a story from the Mahabharata, a Sanskrit epic of ancient India.

---

On the eighteenth day of the great battle of Kurukshetra, the battlefield was a tapestry of sorrow and valor, drenched in the blood of countless warriors.

The mighty Dronacharya, the venerable preceptor of both the Pandavas and the Kauravas, stood invincible at the helm of the Kaurava forces.

His unmatched prowess had turned the tide of battle time and again, posing a formidable challenge to the Pandavas.

Seeing the insurmountable might of Dronacharya, Krishna, the divine charioteer of Arjuna, knew that victory would remain elusive unless a decisive blow was struck. Summoning the Pandavas, he spoke with the authority of wisdom and divinity.
