Meanwhile, Shikhandin’s marriage collapses when her bride discovers her true identity, forcing Shikhandin to leave and seek the destiny promised by Shiva. Shikhandin’s Fate and Drupada’s Doubts Drupada's flashback cocludes: after Narada challenges King Hiranyavarman to prove Shikhandin’s lack of masculinity, the king withdraws without evidence. Drupada and Prishata finally breathe a sigh of relief. Back in the present, Drupada explains that he tried searching for Shikhandin but found no trace. Prishata chides him, saying he put more effort into revenge against Drona than searching for his own child. Dhritadyumna intervenes and tells her not to blame Drupada — Shiva’s divine play had unfolded exactly as destined, and the...

In Panchala, Drupada recalls Shikhandini’s birth and Shiva’s prophecy that she will one day become male and bring about Bhishma’s downfall. Shakuni’s Strategy and Dhritarashtra’s Dilemma Nilavan asks Shakuni why he exposed Duryodhana’s questionable activities to Dhritarashtra when it only creates friction in the palace. Shakuni smiles and says his strategy is to “pinch the baby and rock the cradle,” meaning he wants Dhritarashtra to see how far his son will go to fulfill his ambitions. His own aim remains constant: to see Duryodhana crowned king. In the palace, Dhritarashtra and Gandhari confront Shakuni...

Recap of Previous Episode : Krishna is crowned king of Dwaraka and grants Yashoda the boon of motherhood in his future incarnation. In Ekachakrapura, the Pandavas witness the despair caused by Bakasura while staying with the Brahmin Upaya. At Hastinapura, the death of Hidimba makes Shakuni suspect that Bhima—and therefore the Pandavas—may still be alive. Shakuni Warns Against a Premature Coronation Duryodhana and Dushasana approach Shakuni asking when Duryodhana can finally be crowned king. Shakuni advises patience, saying he is still unsure whether the Pandavas are truly dead, and rushing into a coronation might backfire. Annoyed by Shakuni’s caution, Duryodhana and Dushasana decide to investigate on their own. They send a spy with secret instructions, then summon an astrologer to fix a coronation date. Nilava, Shakuni’s loyal informant, tries to extract information, but Duryodhana dismisses him. Next, they call for a master jeweller and commission a throne that must surpass ev...
