MR Srinivasan Spell bound; it is like the agony of a mother and the grievances of a handicapped brother. It appeal dto me as if I was seeing the drama of late Manohar . In the words of Krishna all are decided long ago so Krishna whose task is completed must leave the land and wipe out his clan and the nation too. So what was already in the dialogues framed Gandhari had to say. Vikarna killed himself in the sense as Karnan did. Both were spared but salt was more important to them. On the thirteenth day of the war, depending on the version of the story, Vikarna is either a silent bystander in the slaying of Abhimanyu or an active participant. On the fourteenth day, Arjuna <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjuna> navigates the chakravyuha <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakravyuha> of Drona <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drona>, in order to reach and kill Jayadratha <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayadratha> before sunset. Duryodhana sends Vikarna to check Bhima's advance. Bhima, who had sworn to kill all of Dhritarashtra's <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhritarashtra> true-born sons, calls Vikarna a man of dharma <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharma> and advises him to step aside. Vikarna replies that even though he knew that the Kauravas would not win a war against a side with Krishna <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishna> on it, he could not forsake Duryodhana. Pleadingly, Bhima reminds him of the dice game, where Vikarna had criticised his brother. Vikarna replied: That was my duty then, and this is my duty now. Fight me, o son of Vayu <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vayu>! Bhima quickly dispatches Vikarna; in some versions of the story Vikarna asks for Bhima to perform his last rites. His death brings tears to the eyes of Bhima. After his death, Bhima laments: Alas, O Vikarna, you were just and knew what was dharma! You fought in loyal obedience to the call of duty. Indeed this battle is a curse upon us wherein men like you...have had to be slaughtered. Gandhari tried to kill bheema. Gandhari and Dridharashtra could have given them the pandavas five houses. Krishna was neutral and while sleeping Krishna first gave the offer only to Duryodhana and duryodhana could have asked Krishna but he did not So dramatically the motherhood as Lankeswaran of Manohar is presented It was so good to read K Rajaram IRS 7423//6423
