When Ashwatthama came to know about this, he decided to take revenge from the Pandavas at that very moment. After that Ashwatthama killed five sons of Pandavas.

Enraged by this, Lord Shri Krishna gave him a wound on his forehead and cursed him that he would keep wandering from door to door until his wound was healed. But along with the curse, he also said that no doctor in the whole world would be able to cure it.
