It's the 15th day of war and the Kaunteys had one goal in mind, to kill Dronacharya the only Maharathi in their way to victory. Guru Dronacharya had converted the punya of his life into a kavach, when a spy told him about Kaunteys planning to kill Ashwathama. The kavach made him almost invincible.

Currently in the battlefield, Bheem threw his mace at Dronacharya but he didn't even flinch because of his Kavach.

"TUM AGAR MERE PUTRA KA VADH KAROGE BHEEM TOH MAI TUMHARE BHAIYO AUR PUTRO KA VADH KAR DUNGA !! MAI WAISA HI VIDHWANSH MACHA DUNGA JAISA NARAYAN NE HARIHARESHWARI KE VYOGH MAI MACHAYA THA !!" Dronacharya yelled.

"ASHWATHAMA KI MRITYU HOKE RAHEGI, GURUDEV. AAP KUCH NAHI KAR PAYENGE !!" Bheem roared.

Dronacharya angrily shot an arrow at him but his arrow was stopped by Drupad's arrow.

"DRON !! MITRATA AUR SAMBANDHO KI HATHYA KI HAI TUMNE. APNE PUTRI SAMAAN KANYA KE APRADHI BANE TUM !! RAKSHA KARO APNI, MERE SAATH YUDH KARO !!!" Drupad roared.

"MAI APNE HATHO SE TUMHARA VADH NAHI KARNA CHAHTA MITRA." Dronacharya said.

"TOH MERE SAATH DWAND KIJIYE GURUDEV, MERA TOH JANM HI AAPKE MRIYU KE LIYE HUYA HAI. AAPKA VADH HI MERA LAKSH HAI" Dhrishtdyumn said.

"TUMHARA LAKSH TABHI PURA NAHI HOGA PUTRA, JAB MAI SWAYAM APNE SHASHTRO KA TYAAG KARDUNGA. AUR GURU DRON KE KISI SHISHYA MAI ITNA SAMARTHYA NAHI JO GURU DRON SE UNKE SHASHTRO KA TYAAG KARWA SAKE." Dron said.

"SHASTRA TYAAG KARNE KI KYA AWASHYAKTA HAI DRON ? PREM, SAMMAN AUR DHARM TOH TUM PEHLE SE HI TYAAG CHUKE HO. TUMNE MERE GURU TATHA APNE PITA RISHI BHARADWAJ PAR LALCHAN LAGAYA HA ! YUDH KARO DRON !!" Drupad challenged.

They both got down their rath with spears and engaged in an immense duel with eachother. Which ended in a tragic way with Dron penetrating Drupad's body with the spear. Dron looked at Drupad with teared eyes, realizing what he had done, before Drupad could fall on the ground Dron caught him.

"KSHAMA KARNA MITRA." Dron said placing him on the ground, as Drupad took his last breath.

This devastating news was given to the Kaunteyas by Prativindhya, who were inside there vyuh.

"AB GURU DRON KO ASHWATHAMA KI MRITYU KA MITHYA SAMACHAR PAHUCHANA HI PADEGA." Amarsri said.

"KINTU KYA WOH YEH SAMACHAR MANENGE ?" Nakul asked.

"AGAR BHRATA YUDDHISTIR KAHENGE TOH AWASHYA MANENGE." Amarsri said.

"MAI ASATYA NAHI KAHUNGA, JAB ASHWATHAMA KI MRITYU SACH MAI HOGI MAI TAB JAAKE BATAYUNGA." Yuddhistir said making everyone sigh.

"TOH AB NIRDOSH ASHWATHAMA KA VADH KARNA PADEGA." Krishna said. Understanding what he meant, Bheem and Yuddhistir left towards east.

Here Dhrishtadyumn was angrily fighting with Dronacharya, but his efforts bore no fruit. But Dron on the other hand managed to pot two cuts on his arms. Dron got the upperhand and was about to kill Dhrishtadyumn but his sword was thrown off by the arrow of Arjun.

"SENAPATI DHRISHTADYUMN, AAP MAHARAJ DRUPAD KE SHARIR KO SHIVIR MAI LE JAYIYE. GURU DRON AAJ APNE SABSE PRIYE SHISHYA KE SAATH DWAND KARENGE." Arjun said, and Dron looked at him.

"DHANUSH UTHAYIYE GURU DRON !!!" Arjun roared. Dhrishtadyumn left with Drupad's body.

Arjun and Dron engaged in a fierce battle when suddenly Abhimanyu came out of nowhere.

"PITASHREE AAP GURU DRON KO VYASTH RAKHIYE, TATSHREE BHEEM NE ASHWATHAMA PAR AKRAMAN KIYA HAI." Abhimanyu informed and left.

"SAARTHI, RATH SHIGREH HI ASHWATHAMA KI OOR LE CHALO." Dron said worriedly.

"GURUDEV, AAPNE MERE SAATH DWAND KARNE KA VACHAN DIYA THA. AAP APNA VACHAN NAHI TOD SAKTE." Arjun said.

"KARUNGA DWAND AUR VADH BHI KARUNGA TUMHARA, KINTU PRATHAM MUJHE APNE PUTRA KI RAKSHA HETU JANA HOGA." Dron said hurriedly.

"ISS AAYU MAI BHI APNE PUTRA KA ITNA PRABAL MOH GURUDEV ? DHARM-ADHARM, UCHIT-ANUCHIT , SABKA GYAAN BHUL JATE HAI." Krishna taunted.

"SANSAAR MAI MOH KARNE YOGYA APNI SANTAAN HI HOTI HAI VASUDEV, YEH BAAT AAPSE BEHTAR AUR KAUN JANTA HAI ? MUJHE KOI LAJJA NAHI ISS BAAT SE KI MERE PUTRA KA JEEVAN MERE GYAAN SE ADHIK MAHATWA KA HAI. MAARG CHODIYE VASUDEV !" Drupad said.

"ASAMBHAV GURU DEV, AAJ AAPKE MAARG ME SWAYAM MAI KHADA RAHUNGA. AAPKE LIYE KEVAL EK MAARG HAI JISME KOI AVRODH NAHI, MRITYU KA MAARG." Arjun said.

"USS MAARG MAI AAJ AAP CHALENGE YA FIR MAI. YUDH KIJIYE GURU DRON !" Arjun said as he shot an arrow at Dron's Saarthi, killing him so he can't go anywhere.

They both resumed their battle which was getting fiercer with each passing moment. But their battle was interjected by Vrishsena.

"CHACHASHREE ARJUN, CHACHASHREE BHEEM NE ASHWATHAMA PAR BHAYANAK PRAHAR KIYA HAI. WOH ADHIK SAMYE TAK APNE PAIRO PAR KHADE NAHI REH PAYEGA." Vrishsena informed and left.

Guru Dron got off his rath and started to leave, but Arjun shot an arrow which created a ring of fire around him. The ring of fire was extinguished as Dron shot an arrow of water above, causing it to fall as droplets like rain. Suddenly Prativindhya came on his horse.

"CHACHASHREE, ASHWATHAMA KE NAAK SE RAKT KE DHARA BEH RAHI HAI, WOH BHUMI PAR GIR GAYA HAI, ADHIK SAMAYE TAK JEEVIT NAHI REH PAYEGA." Prativindhya informed and left.

"ASHWATHAMA MERA PUTRA..." Dron silently muttered. He started to walk but was trapped in a bubble created by Arjun's arrow.

"MERE PUTRA KI MRITYU NAHI HO SAKTI !!" Dron said breaking the bubble with his kick. He started to walk but Arjun with his arrow tied a rope around his body making him fall, but Dron chanted a mantra and the rope around him vanished. But how can the rope be tied around him with his Kavach ? no astra will be effective on him with that.

"ASHCHARYA KI BAAT HAI GURUDEV, AAPNE JO KAVACH BANAYA THA WOH NASHT HOGAYA." Arjun said.

"MERA MAN ASWASTH HAI, AUR ASWASTH MAN KAVACH NAHI BANA PATA, VIDHWANSH KARTA HAI." Guru Dron said.

"MERA MAARG CHODO, MERA MAARG CHODO !" Dron begged with joined hands.

"ANYATHA MAI BRAHMASTRA KA PRAYOG KARKE ISS RANBHUMI MAI AAG LAGA DUNGA ! EK-EK SAINIK KI MRITYU HOGI !!" Dron threatned getting up, but his threat sounded more of a pleading bargain.

Suddenly everyone heard a sound of big drums, played by the Upapandavas.

"YEH DHOL KYU BAJ RAHA HAI ?" Dron asked worriedly, the drums played in battlefield only meant that a Sena nayak or a Maharathi has died or someone has fulfilled their motive.

"AWASHYA HI BHRATA BHEEM KA UDESHYA PURN HUYA HOGA, ASHWATHAMA KI MRITYU HO GAYI HOGI." Krishna said.

"ASAMBHAV !!!! ASHWATHAMA KI MRITYU KAISE HO SAKTI HAI ?!?! USKE PAAS TOH DIVYA MANI HAI !!!" Dronacharya yelled.

"JANM BHALE HI DIVYA GUNO KE SAATH HUYE HO GURUDEV, KINTU JEEVAN KE DUSHKARM UNN DIVYA GUNO KO KHAJATE HAI." Krishna said.

"ASAMBHAV HAI !! TUM KAPTI HO !! PRAPANCHI HO VASUDEV !! MITHYA BOLTE HO TUM !!" Dron said.

"MERE PUTRA KI MRITYU NAHI HO SAKTI, KOI MUJHE UTTAR DE.." Dron said in a pleading voice. Soon the rest of the Kaunteyas also came.

"BHRATA YUDDHISTIR, AAPNE JEEVAN BHAR SATYA KEHNE NA PRAN LIYA HAI, AAPKE MUKH SE ASATYA KA UCHARAN NAHI HUYA KABHI, AB AAP HI GURUDEV BATAYIYE, KYA VASTAV MAI ASHWATHAMA KI MRITYU HOGAYI HAI ?" Krishna said.

"HA GURUDEV YEH SATYA HAI, MAINE SWAYAM APNI AAKHO SE BHEEM KO ASHWATHAMA PAR PRAHAR KARTE HUYE DEKHA HAI." Yuddhistir said.

"TUMNE KABHI ASATYA NAHI KAHA, AGAR AAJ ASATYA KAHOGE TOH NARK KI AAG MAI JALO GE !" Dron said sadly.

"KYA VASTAV MAI MERA PUTRA ASHWATHAMA, ISS JAGAT MAI NAHI RAHA ?" Dron asked as tears slipped from his eyes.

"MAI SATYA KEH RAHA HU GURUDEV, MAINE ASHWATHAMA KI MRITYU SWAYAM APNE AAKHO SE DEKHI HAI, WOH ASHWATHAMA HI THA." Yuddhistir said.

"ASHWATHAMA MARA GAYA, NARO VA KUNJARO." Yuddhistir said, but whispered the last part to himself.

"ASHWATHAMA !!! MAI SAARI VISHWA KA SARVANAASH KARDUNGA !!" Guru Dron yelled.

"MERE PUTRA KA VADH KARNE WALE KUNTIPUTRO !! MAI TUM SABKA VADH KARDUNGA !!!" Dronacharya roared.

"MAI BHAGWAAN PARSHURAM KE DIYE SHASHTRO SE SAARE SAMAJ KA NAASH KARDUNGA !!" Dronacharya roared summoning Brahmastra.

But the next thing everyone knows Dronacharya looking peaceful and surprisingly enlightened. Amarsri sensed that time was stopped, she looked at Krishna who nodded at her. She guessed what he would have done.

"MERA ANNT SAMAYE AAGAYA HAI VASUDEV, MAI AAPKO ANTIM PRANAM KARKE APNE PRAAN TYAAG RAHA HU. MERI PUTRI SAMAAN DRAUPADI SE KEHNA, MAHARISHI BHARADWAJ KE PUTRA DRON NE MRITYU SE POORV USSE KSHAMA MANGI THI." Dron said and everyone looked at him sadly.

"GURUDEV !!" Dhrishtadyumn roared.

"AAO PUTRA TUMHARE JEEVAN KE LAKSH KO POORN KARNE KA SAMAYE AAGAYA HAI." Dron said as he sat down in meditative state and closed his eyes.

Dhrishtadyumn ran towards him a sword in hishand and with one quick swing beheaded Guru Dronacharya. Everyone closed theireyes letting tears fall freely. He finally attained martyrdom, and there inHastinapoor the last hope of Dhritrashtra and Gandhari has perished now.
