કુરુક્ષેત્રના રણમેદાનમાં અઢાર અક્ષૌહિણી સેના નાશ પામી. સમગ્ર આયાઁવૃતમાં એકેય પરીવાર એવો નહોતો બચ્યો કે આ વિનાશની જ્વાળા એને સ્પર્શી ના હોય. કરાંચી અને દિલ્હી વચ્ચે ક્યાંક હસ્તીનાપુર અને કુરુક્ષેત્ર ના પ્રદેશો હોવા જોઈએ. અઢાર અક્ષૌહીણીનાં લોહી માંસથી જે ભુમી તરબતર થઈ ગઈ હતી એ ભુમી ને ફરી એકવાર હજોર વરસ પછી કુરુક્ષેત્રથીય બદતર ભોગ ઘરાવવામાં આવ્યો હતો. ઝીણાની રુહ ને જોય ને દુયોઁઘનના આત્માને લાગ્યું : હજારો વરસ પછી એને કોઈ ઊતરાઘીકારી સાંપડ્યો હતો ! પોતાના જેવો જ એક અત્યંત સમર્થ માણસનો અંતકાળ પણ પોતાની જેમ જ આવ્યો એનો દુયોઁઘનને એક છુપો આનંદ પણ થતો હતો.

The book is capable of changing your perspectives about the two most important historical figures of our land. And for me, it surely did.
