Episode description

One of the sons of Dhritarashtra and Gandhari spoke against the wrongful acts of his brothers in the royal court of Hastinapur. This Kaurav brother was Vikarna.

Vikarna knew his brother, Duryodhana was on the wrong path and tried to warn him; however when things escalated to a full blown war, he chose the side of his brothers knowing fully well that it was the wrong side. 

On the 14th day, when Arjuna had vowed to kill Jaydrath, Vikarna was given the task of stopping Bhima from helping Arjuna. Bhima tried to convince his cousin to switch sides, however Vikarna refused.
