Kakbhushubdi saw 11 Versions of Ramayana unfold
Each time a different outcome
The first was an outcome where Dasaratha never took the divine nectar and remained Childless and died at the hands of Ravana and Ayodhya was broken to pieces
Another was Ravana being assassinated by his own son Meghanadh
Another was Laxman dying and Rama losing heart in the battle
Another was Bali killing Sugriva
Another was Ravanas son Mahiravana sacrificing Laxman to a Goddess and the Goddess angered burning down Lanka
Each time Kakbhushubdi flew in circles from the beginning to the end and each time he flew back to a new outcome
The eleventh version was when he saw Ravana die at Ramas hand and Sita was kidnapped by Ravana and this time when he flew back, he flew back to the same outcome meaning this was final and fixed
Likewise Mahabharat saw 16 outcomes
One version saw Bheeshma as a ruler of Hastinapura
Another saw Karna as a ruler of Hastinapura
Another saw Pandu living and ruling Hastinapura
One version saw Ashwatthama unleashing the Brahmastra on the Pandavs Army when Arjuna was out fighting
Another saw a son of Arjuna called Barbarik fire magic arrows and decimate the entire armies of Pandavas and Kauravas including his own father
Finally the sixteenth version saw the present version where Duryodhana finally died
The Moral of Kakbhushubdis tale was that man wrote his own fate and actions of men decided the actions of god
There was a version where Duryodhana was a good man where Shakuni had been murdered by Bhishma
Kakbhushubdi was told that any man becomes good and evil by those around him citing how Duryodhana could have been good and how Ravana could have been good
Yet in every version Kakbhushubdi saw Kamsa killed by Vasudev indicating that Kamsa was always evil
In one version Kakbhushubdi saw Kunti reveal her secret of Karnas birth to a tree which bore a fruit that when made into a juice prompted the drinker to tell the truth that “The one named Radheya is the son of Queen Kunti and a Pandava Putra by birth and law”
When the drinker was set to be executed a divine voice proclaimed his innocence and Kunti admitted the truth
