Bhima Kills Keechaka : Episode 110

-

Recap of Previous Episode :

Draupadi is assaulted by Keechaka in Virata’s court while the Pandavas hold back in disguise. Krishna leads Bhama to slay Narakasura, giving rise to Deepavali. Dushasana arrives in Virata’s court and begins uncovering the Pandavas’ identities.

Krishna and Satyabhama Return with the Parijata Tree

After Narakasura’s death, Indra thanks Krishna and Satyabhama for saving the Devas and freeing the imprisoned women. Satyabhama reminds Indra of his promise to give her the Parijata tree. Indra hesitates, but Narada intervenes and advises that the tree may be taken to Earth, on the condition that it will be restored to Devaloka once Krishna and Satyabhama return. Krishna agrees, and together they bring the Parijata (Karpaka Vriksha) to Dwaraka.

Keechaka Threatens Draupadi

Meanwhile in Virata’s palace, Keechaka overhears the secret discussion between Draupadi and the Pandavas. He confronts her and threatens to expose the Pandavas’ identities to Dushasana. Draupadi is terrified—exposure would mean another thirteen years of exile, destroying all hope of regaining their kingdom.

She begs Keechaka to spare them, but he refuses unless she yields to his desires. Thinking quickly, Draupadi pretends to agree, but only on the condition that Dushasana must leave immediately. Keechaka tricks Dushasana into departing by saying he needs time to confirm the Pandavas’ location. The moment Dushasana leaves for Hastinapura, Draupadi runs to her husbands and reveals everything.

Bhima’s Plan to Kill Keechaka

Under Bhima’s direction, Draupadi sends word to Keechaka, asking him to meet her alone at the dance hall at night. Bhima disguises himself by covering his face with a veil and lies on the bed while Draupadi hides behind a pillar.

For a few moments, Draupadi speaks in a low voice, enticing Keechaka, drawing him closer until he can no longer restrain himself. Keechaka rushes forward and lifts the veil—only to face Bhima rising like a thunderstorm.

Keechaka Is Slain

A terrifying battle erupts. Keechaka strikes with full strength, but Bhima is unstoppable. He crushes Keechaka with such force that his bones shatter, ending his tyranny forever. Draupadi watches with tears of relief—a vow fulfilled.

Duryodhana Still Searches for the Pandavas

Dushasana returns to Hastinapura and informs Duryodhana that the Pandavas cannot be found in Virata’s kingdom. Duryodhana is suspicious, but Shakuni is convinced they are still there, hidden in disguise. He further suggests that Vidura must be helping them, keeping the Kauravas misinformed.
