On the fourteenth night, Ghatotkacha wreaked havoc, forcing Karna to use his divine weapon, saving Arjuna but costing the Pandavas dearly. Drona killed Virata and Drupada before Bhima’s trick—killing an elephant named Ashwatthama—broke his spirit. Believing his son was dead, Drona surrendered to fate, and Dhrishtadyumna beheaded him. Yudhishthira’s first lie cost him his divine purity—his chariot, once floating, finally touched the earth.Sources, Bibliography and Suggested further readings:1. K.M. Ganguli (Trans.)

On the 14th day, Arjuna raced to kill Jayadratha before sunset—or die trying. As the Kauravas fiercely defended him, Krishna created an illusion, making Jayadratha lower his guard. Arjuna seized the moment, severing his head and fulfilling a deadly curse. As the Pandavas celebrated, the war raged on—now breaking all rules.Sources, Bibliography and Suggested further reading:1.
