The Rise of Ashwatthama: A Tale of Power, Desperation, and Destiny

The story begins in 3102 BC, where a war concludes, leaving the battlefield littered with the fallen. The renowned warrior Ashwatthama, filled with wrath, attempts to annihilate an unborn child belonging to a princess. In a moment of divine intervention, Lord Krishna confronts him, condemning his malicious intent. Ashwatthama’s retaliation is swiftly thwarted, and as punishment, Krishna strips him of his divine gem, cursing him to live forever in a decaying body. His only chance for redemption lies in the protection of the woman who will bear the tenth reincarnation of Vishnu.
