Never Postpone


Once Srihari came in the disguise and went to Yudhistira asking for some money during night. Yudhistira told him to come in the next morn ing. The Brahmana went to Bheemasena and said he is in urgent need of money and told Yudhistira asked him to come the next morning. Bheemasena immediately handed over him some jewels and the Brahmana made his exit. 

Bheemasena beat the drum at night continuously. On hearing this, Yudhistira asked Bheema for the reason for it. Bheemasena told Dharmaraja believes that he is certain to be alive the next day, as such I am beating the drum.Bheemasena advised Dharmaraja never to postpone the dharmakarya and then onwards Dharmaraja followed the Bheema in giving Dharma without any delay.

Iravan / Slain / Arjun's Reaction

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iravan

Garuda Vs Anant - Battle of Illusions
http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m06/m06091.htm

Iravan was slain after a fierce fight. When Arjuna heard this, he broke down completely. Said he turning to Vasudeva: 

"Vidura had indeed told us plainly that both sides would be plunged in grief unbearable. What are we doing all this wretched destruction up on one another for? Just for the sake of property. After all this killing, what joy are we or they likely to find in the end? 

O Madhusudana, 

I now see why the far seeing Yudhishthira said he would be content if Duryodhana would give five villages to us, keeping everything else to himself and he would not resort to fighting if that were agreed to. 

Duryodhana, in his obstinate folly, refused to give even these five villages and so, these great sins have to be committed on both sides. I continue fighting only because men would otherwise think me a coward, who could submit tamely to wrong. When I see the dead warriors lying on the field, my heart is filled with unbearable anguish. Oh, how wicked we are to carry on in this miserable, sinful way."

Draupadi and Subhadra


A scene from the Mahabharata. After Arjuna weds Subhadra he brings her back to his family. Draupadi, Arjuna's first wife, becomes jealous and refuses to see him or speak to him. To pacify her, Subhadra humbly goes to her dressed as a village girl and requests to become her servant. Draupadi heart softens after seeing her humility and sweetness, and she remembers that Subhadra is Lord Krishna's sister. She immediately casts away her jealousy and they become the best of friends.

Crore

According to Kshetra Purana long long back all sages numbering to one crore, gathered in this place and did tapas for a long time to please Lord Shiva. Then Shiva appeared in front of each of them thus this place where Lord Shiva appeared in one crore form, became popular as Kotee-eshwar, but slowly got translated as Koteshwar. It is said that the present temple was built by Pandavas, no doubt it looks that old and giant.
