So have you found the answer? If yes then please mail me the same. Thanks, Rajeev Mishra. Unknown said…. Wandering Nomad said…. Deekay -- thanks for your correction. That was a typo. He and Ashwathama thought that it was the Pandavas that were sleeping in the tents and they burnt the whole camp but they were mistaken in their timings as Pandavas were not present there. Krishna was so furious at this unethical way of war that he cursed Kripacharya to be immortal and suffer the world until the end of Kaliyuga.
Kripacharya also wanted to accompany Dhritarashtra and the group to the Himalayas but Dhritarashtra asked Yudhisthir to stay in the kingdom and look after the affairs. He had to obey the king and served the empire dutifully until Parikshit was ready to take over the throne. After fulfilling his duties, he finally went to the Himalayas where he is said to be in penance as he is an immortal who can never die.

One of the main rules about the battle is to seize the fight as the sun sets and the fight starts again as sunrises, which is broken by both Aswathama and Kripacharya.
They both were also present and a part of the panel when Draupathi- wife of Pandavas was disrespected in front of everyone in the "Mayasabha". Even though Lords krishna has saved his sister's pride in the last moment, he was very angry about everyone who took part in watching and didn't attempt to stop such an act of disrespecting women in front of many.
So, when the battle of Kurukshetra was going on for several days, many of the greatest warriors from both sides have been lost and so many political conflicts are raised between both of the parties. The Kauravas are standing strong with Dronnacharya taking the strongest of Pandavas like strands of grass on the battlefield.
The only way in which Dharma can be established is by Pandavas winning the battle and it is not possible while Dronacharya standing on the battlefield.
Lord krishna knows that Pandavas can not win the battle with Dronacharya fighting alongside Kauravas and thought of a way to take him down on the battlefield. Dronacharya is a great warrior and can not be defeated while he fights with his weapon in his hand, so Lord Krishna has thought of a plan to make Dronacharya discharge his weapons.
There is only one way to do this by deviating him on the battlefield to make something happen that can be completely unexpected by Dronacharya. He loves his son Aswathamma so much and Lord Krishna thought, Drona can only be deceived if something bad happens to his son. So he said to Pandavs to spread the fault news about Aswathamma being dead on the battlefield in the hands of Pandavas.
Even though not everyone on the Pandavas side agreed with the plan, Bhima took the task assigned by Lord Krishna. Because it's the only way Pandavas can win in the Kurukshetra battle. Bhimasena is known for his nature of not saying lies, so Bheema decides to slave an elephant with the name of Aswathama on the battlefield, which is carrying king Indravarma.
Bhimasena took the life of both the king and elephant with a single stroke from his mace and charged into the battlefield towards Dronacharya while shouting the words "Aswathama is Dead" in a repeated manner so that the words can be heard by Dronacharya.
