Pandavas called him Mama. Mama Shalya had pledged his supports to Pandavas, but then comes a twist.
Whenever we discuss about Mahabharata, we discuss same characters again & again. I thought we should discuss about lesser known but significant characters.
My #thread on Shalya, he was Charioteer of Karna & how he played an important role in the duel between Arjun & Karna. 👇🏼
Pandavas called him Mama. Mama Shalya had pledged his supports to Pandavas, but then comes a twist.
According to epic Mahabarta, one Akshauhini contains four different types of armed forces
21,870 chariots
21,870 elephants
65,616 horses
109350 infantry
Pandavas knew Shalya has 2 Akshauhini Sena
While Shalya was travelling towards Kurukshetra, Shakuni arranged excellent hospitality for him along the road for him & his Sena. Shalya was highly impressed.
He met Duryodhana on his arrival & he thought it was Yudhistir
Vow had utmost value those days
Pandavas had 7 & now Kauravas had 11 Akshauhini Sena ☹️
Karna was forced to use Shakti Astra on Ghatachkoch hence he was left with only one
Nagastra was not a real Astra but a serpent fired on enemy
Nagastra was Takshak Nag himself who wanted to take revenge on Arjun for burning the forest of Khandavprast, which was later renamed as Indraprastha.
