Krishna Rushes To Pandavas' Aid Leaving Abhimanyu With No Idea About Breaking The Chakravyuha : Episode 103

Abhimanyu is seen pestering Balarama to be the target for his bow practice at Dwaraka. Krishna, Rukmini, Balarama's wife Revati, and Subhadra are watching as amused spectators, and Krishna agrees to be target. Abhimanyu demonstrates his mastery in archery by precisely striking a fruit perhed on Krishna's head. Everybody is delighted as Abhimanyu has rivalled his own father Arjuna. Later Abhimanyu demonstrates his dexterity in swinging the mace in a duel against Balarama, who is an ace mace fighter. Abhimanyu now wants to learn how to get in and out of chakravyuha. Krishna promises to teach him later, on any auspicious day.

Sage Durvasa thanks Dritarashtra; he expresses happiness over Duryodhana's hospitality and asks him what boon he wants. The cunning Duryodhana expresses regret for his disgraceful conduct in sending the Pandavas to the forest, and asks Durvasa to meet his brothers at Dwaitavana and bless them as well. Dritarashtra is happy that his son has finally realized his mistakes, but obviously, Duryodhana's intention is to procure the sage's wrath and curses for the Pandavas. To effect his scheme, he offers to send his own guards along with the sage to help him in locating the Pandavas. Shakuni gives secret instructions to the guards, who nod and leave.

At the forest, the guards tell the sages to rest under a tree and wait till they find out about the Pandavas' whereabouts and then take them. In the meanwhile, Draupadi feeds the Pandavas from the Akshaya Patra and after making sure they had eaten their fill and there is no sign of any guests arriving, she washes the vessel. Duryodhana's guards watch this and come back to take Durvasa and his disciples to Dhaumya's hermitage where Pandavas are staying.

Yudhishtra welcomes the sage warmly. The sage says he ravenously hungry. As Bhima, Draupadi and others look aghast, Yudhishtra asks the sages to take bath in the river and come back. As the river is close by, they do not have the time to look for fruits and there is no food in the Akshaya Patra either. Draupadi tries to recite the mantra, but just as she knows, it wouldn't work till the next day. As Durvasa is demanding food to be served fast, she is at her wit's end and remembers Krishna's promise to come to her aid anytime she wanted. She does so now to save herself and the Pandavas from Durvasa's wrath.

At this time Krishna's is explaining to abhimanyu how to get into the Chakravyuha. Abhimanyu has already learnt this while in Subhadra's womb while arjuna was explaining it to her and Krishna revises it for him this time. Abhimanyu now shouts to Krishna asking him how to get out of the chakra of soldiers surrounding him. Just at this critical moment, Krishna hears Draupadi's call and instantly rushes to her.

In his own usual playful way, Krishna asks Draupadi to serve him food. Draupadi pleads with Krishna not play with her at this critical juncture whe she is herself in a fix, not being able to feed the waiting sages. Krishna asks Draupadi to bring the Akshaya Patra and notices a tiny piece of green leaf sticking to it. He shows it to Draupadi and says that is enough for him. Draupadi stands perplexed.
