  3. B. Duryodhana’s Diplomacy • Incites Dronacharya in relation to his disciple Dhrstadhyumna, the son of Draupada • Praises grandfather Bhishma for his immeasurable strength , but then asks everyone to support him. • Why? • Bhishma and Drona have affection for the Pandavas and might be lenient. • He wanted everyone to feel equally important

  4. C. Signs of victory for the Pandavas • Kurukshetra is a place of Pilgrimage • Krishna is driving Arjuna’s Chariot. • Wherever Krishna is present, the goddess of fortune is also present. • Arjunas Chariot was given by Agni which could conquer all sides. • Conch shell blowing . Why ?

  5. C. Signs of victory for the Pandavas • Conch shell is a symbol of Lord Vishnu. • Krishna’s and Arjuna’s were transcendental conch shells. • Result: • Dhrtarashtra’s sons’ hearts shattered! • Why not Pandavas?? They are devotees of Lord Sri Krishna. • Hanuman on Arjuna’s flag
