Aaron Bodling joins us to hear the story of Drupada as he is attacked by the Kuru clan.
Drupada is a good king who has ruled by the wisdom he has gained from his guru, so he has no idea why a bunch of teenagers are leading an army against him. Aaron and Azure love the flashback and different version of Drupada’s daughter/son Shikhandi. Satish is thrilled to rediscover Drupada’s importance in the Mahabharata, and foreshadows galore with the new characters introduced at the end.
Which of Drupada’s three children are you most invested in? Shikhandi, Drishtadyumna, or Draupadi?
Let us know in the comment section below.
