the survivors of Kurukshetra

[Guest guest]

I don't know where it is mentioned in Srila Pabupada's

works, but in the Mahabharata, out of 11 akshauhinis

on the Kaurava side and 7 akshauhinis on the Pandava

side, the only survivors of the Battle of Kurukshetra

are as follows: Krsna, Yudhisthira, Bhima, Arjuna,

Nakula, Sahadeva, Satyaki, Kritavarma, Kripacharya,

and Asvattama. Actually, this is the survivor list

after the midnight raid on the Pandava camp following

the victory of the Pandavas. During this raid

Asvattama killed (with the help of Kripa and

Kritavarma) the 5 sons of Draupadi, her brothers

Sikhandi and Dhristadyumna, and others. So we are

talking WW I style fatalities on both sides.

 

Hope this helps,

YS,

Maharani dasi
