Asvathama? (Drona's Son) He wanted to avenge his father's death by destroying the pandava race. He throws a grass-blade with mantras at Uttara's womb. Krishna absorbs the blow to protect Parikshit (Abhimanyu's son) in her womb. Come to think of it - Aswathama is some sort of an invincible character in Mahabharat - he is the only major character from Kaurava sena whose life was spared.

According to saffron-langots, the "Brahmastram" is actually a nuclear weapon! India was technologically advanced thousands of years ago. Or so the langots say. Similar such langot-inspired bovine excrement includes the "thesis" that the names of all parts of the world were derived from Sanskrit -- like, Australia coming from "Astra Alaya", Brazil from "Brij Lila", California from "Kapila Aranya" and so on. Actually, the saffron-langots would have been fun people, but for the fact that they seem to have unlimited thirst for the blood of people belonging to the minority religions of India.
