| 0:28.2 | themselves and everybody for having perpetuated such a war. After killing nearly 100,000 people |
| 0:38.2 | in those days when the population was not even 10% of what it's today, Ashwatthana didn't |
| 0:45.3 | stop there. Out of his anger, he went out and killed children who were sleeping. Children |
| 0:53.0 | were sleeping and he went and slit all their throats as revenge for what he felt was unfair, |
