What is the Mahabharata’s account of Ashwatthama?
One of the main characters in Hindu mythology, Ashwatthama, is shown as an interesting character in the Indian epic Mahabharata. The son of the royal teacher Dronacharya, the warrior was fearsome. His mother had hoped for a boy who would have the strength of a horse, which is why he was given the name Ashwatthaman. Even though Ashwatthama is revered for his heavenly weaponry and fighting prowess, his history is marred by a few dubious deeds.

Ashwatthama, a fierce warrior, fought with the Kauravas during the Kurukshetra War. But after one of the most notorious incidents, in which he killed Pandava soldiers and their sleeping offspring, his reputation was damaged. Fury and anguish at his father’s death drove Ashwatthama to carry out the heinous assault. Ashwatthama’s violent conduct and treachery had serious consequences, and they still tarnish his reputation.

After the slaughter, Lord Krishna cursed him, condemning him to a thousand years of wandering on earth, suffering from uncurable ailments. In the enduring Mahabharata epic, Ashwatthama is still seen as a complicated character and a person surrounded by debate.
