(After moving down from the stairs, they looked up towards elders and once again seeked blessings while joining hands, and they left being on horse)

DAY BEFORE WAR

Dronacharya : ye yudh aapke aur Maharaj Draupad ke madhya hai, toh mei aur Ashwatthama iss yudh mei bhag nhi lenge, apko ye guru dakshina swayam apne yudh kaushal par vishwas rakhkar, mere diya gaye saare yudh niyam, yudh sikshao smaran rakhke yudh karna hai

Yudhisthir : ji Guruvar hum aapka kathan samaj gaye hai

Duryodhan : Guruvar? aapne Karn ko yudh mei bhag lene se mana kyu kardiya (Karn was in Angpradesh and didn't knew anything of these, he left as soon as they left Nitya's room)

Dronacharya : wo ek sutputra hai aur mei nhi chahta uske karan kuch apshagun ho ya hum haar jaye

Duryodhan : parantu guru......

(Duryodhan was cut off by Dronacharya)

Dronacharya : agar aapko uski itni chinta hai tohh aap bhi jaiye uske saath, yaha aur bhi prabhal Rajkumar hai jo mujhe meri guru dakshina de sakte hai

(Bheem Chuckle unnoticed by everyone)

Dushashan : bhrata agar aap Angraj Karn ke pass gaye toh Pandav ke yudh jith jayenge aur aap Yuvraj nhi bann payenge, sochiye jyest (whispering)

Duryodhan : mujhe kshama kijiye guruvar, mei kahi nhi jaa raha hu, yaha rehke aapke liye yudh ladhunga

Dronacharya : aur kisiko koi prasn hai? (Everyone noded in no) ji toh abhi aap sab visharm kar le, kal prathkal yudh keliye sajj rahiyega

Everyone: ji Guruvar (and joint their hands)

Dronacharya : aur ha mei aap sab ko ye bata du ki jo Draupad rajya ka senapati hai wo aparajit hai

Arjun : parantu ye kaise sambhav hai guruvar? koi toh upay hoga na jisse hum usse hara sake?

Dronacharya : wo Shikhandini hai, Mahamahim se pratishodh lene keliye uska punha janm hua hai, wo pichle janm mei aapke purvaj Maharaj v
Vichitravirya ke hone wali patni thi parantu unko kisi aur se prem tha, fir jab Mahamahim aur Maharaj Shalya ke madhya yudh hua toh Maharaj Shalya mrityu ko prat hogaye, jab mrityu hui toh Rajkumari Amba jo Shikhandini ka purva janam mei naam tha, unko pratishodh chahiye tha Mahamahim se kyunki unhone hi unke prem ko maar diya tha, Rajkumari ne Mahamahim aur Bhagwan Parshuram ka yudh karaya unke pratishodh keliye parantu koi samadhan nhi nikalne par Bhagwan Parshuram ne unko ye vardaan diya ki wo Mahamahim ko unke agle janam mei iss janam ka pratishodh liya jayega, iss karan varsh jab tak wo Mahamahim ka vadh nhi kar deti tab tak wo amar hai, ab aap sab aaram kare kal prathkal bhet hogi

Kauravas / Pandavas : pranipat guruvar

AFTER HE LEFT

Duryodhan : Yudhisthir mei iss yudh ka senapati banunga! (in a tone of ordering)

Sahadev : parantu jyest.......

Yudhisthir : jaisa tum chaho bhrata Duryodhan, iss yudh mei tum hamare senapti ho

Bheem : toh thik hai, kal prathkal Kaurav yudh ledenge aur uske baad hum aayenge, dekhe toh kaun kya kar sakta hai

Dushashan: toh kya aap ye pratiyogita banana chahte hai bhrata Bheem? uchit hai hum kal jayenge aur Maharaj Draupad ko bandhi banakar hi lautenge

Duryodhan : ha ha Dushashan, hume kisiki awashakta nhi hai, ye karya tum akele bhi kar sakte ho (Kauravas left laughing)

Bheem : jyest mujhe atyant krodh aa raha hai jabse Nakul ne ye kaha hai ki mei hote hue kisiko kya hosakte hai toh wo Duryodhan kitne baar Nakul koo...

Yudhisthir : shant Bheem usse jo kehna hai wo kehne do, chalo sab aaram karo hume kal prathkal yudh keliye sajj rehna hai

Nakul : ha bhrata, hamesha ki tarah bharata Duryodhan ko hamari awashakta lagne hi wali hai

(They chuckled and left)

MORNING

Drona : sab sajj??

(Pandavas had already had a conversation with Dronacharya that they will go after sometime as Duryodhan wanna prove itself)

Kauravas : ji guruvar aaj hum aapke putra Ashwatthama ko aadha panchal pradesh ka Maharaj banakr hi rahenge

Drona : yahi aasha hai mujhe aap sab se putro

(Kauravas bowed down to seek the blessings)

Drona : vijayi bhava putro

(The Kauravas marched towards the battlefield and on the opposite side was the Panchal army led by Chief Commander Shikhandini, as the war commenced, the Kauravas and Panchal Army fought against each other and to Duryodhan's surprise Panchal army captured Kauravas, the news was soon reached at Pandavas, Drona and Ashwathama, as soon as Pandavas heard the news they marched towards the battlefield and soon and they saw Kauravas were trapped in a chakravyu (a type of army arrangement as how they would stand or what are their position)

(Arjun with the help of his war tactics freed the Kauravas and fought against Panchal army. Soon Pandavas won against Panchal pradesh and Ashwathama was made the king of half of it, Draupad was made realised Drona's insult and both were friends by now. As the war is over, Pandavas and Kauravas returned to Hastinapur, and as Pandavas had rescued Kauravas and defeated Panchal, Yudhisthir was declared as the Yuvraj (Future King) of Hastinapur)

Duryodhan : pitashre? aapne Yudhisthir ko yuvraj bana diya?

Drithrashtra : mujhe kshama kar dena putra, mere pass koi aur vikalp nhi tha, pandavo ne tum sab ko bachaya aur........

Duryodhan : ha pitashree wo hum bhatak gaye the, iska tatparya ye nhi ki aap iss Yudhisthir ko.......

Drithrashtra : putra tum sab ka jeevan humare liye sabse mahatvapurna hai aur tum sab ko pandavao ne.......

Duryodhan : aapne uss Yudhisthir ko yuvraj banakar sabse badi galti ki hai pitashree, aur aapke iss nirnay mei aap bohot pachtayenge

(Duryodhan left)

What will happen now?
Will Duryodhan do something about this?

--------------------

Now, I am damn sure that Shakuni will definitely do something to make Duryodhan as Crown Prince
