Throughout history and myth, the battle between good and evil often blurs moral lines.
In the epic Mahabharata, great warriors like Bhishma, Drona, Karna, and Duryodhana faced their ends through unconventional means.
Bhishma fell to Arjuna’s arrows, aided by Shikhandi, once a woman.
Drona met his fate through a half-truth that shattered his will to fight.
Karna, a formidable foe, succumbed to an attack from behind, challenging the code of honor.
Finally, Duryodhana, defeated in a fierce duel, was struck below the belt.
All of these instances symbolize the triumph of justice over power.
These acts, breaking conventional codes of conduct, underline a deeper truth: righteousness prevails despite the strength of evil. The Mahabharata teaches that when faced with great adversity, one must sometimes bend the rules to restore balance and justice.
The adage “yato dharmaḥ tato jayaḥ” (where there is righteousness, there is victory) echoes through these narratives, reminding us that even in the most challenging times,
Virtue remains Undefeated.
