Why Did Parikshit Have to Die? | The Last King Born from the Ashes of War

Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Parikshit from the Mahabharata.

Parikshit was born dead. After the greatest war the world had ever seen, the last heir of the Kuru dynasty arrived silent and still — and Krishna had to bring him back to life. Most people know the Mahabharata ends with the Pandavas walking into the mountains. Almost no one knows what happened to the kingdom they left behind.
