There is a great story about how Prithviraj Chauhan learned the knowledge of Shabdh Bedi Baan in this Kaliyuga.'Ashwatthama' got the boon of being 'amar'(immortal in the form of soul till the Kaliyuga ends).He also have an continuous flowing blood from his forehead because of the 'Mani incident that happened in Mahabharata'.
The story started when Prithviraj was nearly 11 years old.Prithviraj used to preach Goddess Chamunda in Chamunda temple near Taragarh fort.Everday,early in the morning Prithviraj Chauhan goes to the temple to do the aarti of the goddess first.But,he noticed there's already the aarti done before he arrives to the temple.As earlier he comes in the morning,the same thing happens.'Who does the aarti of Goddess Chamunda before me',this question made Prithviraj Chauhan curious.

Once,curious planned to remain in the temple to see who does that so early in the morning.He saw some very tall man coming inside the temple with all the ingredients for aarti.He had a flowing blood in the forehead and was injured.Prithviraj Chauhan (with great valour as a child) asked him with anger who is he.He replied that he is Ashwatthama.Prithviraj Chauhan identified him and touched his feet.After a great conversation,when Ashwatthama started arriving,Prithviraj Chauhan said him to give him some boon,but he denied.Stubborn Prithviraj Chauhan caught his feet and politely requested him to give him some boon.After some time,he agreed and gave Prithviraj Chauhan a boon of learning great Sabdh Bhedi Baan in this Kaliyuga.
With the boon of Ashwatthama,Prithviraj Chauhan in the time of his Gurukula,visited a dangerous tribal village in the middle of the forest.Someone who ever visited that village never came back.But when Prithviraj Chauhan visited that village,they attacked them.But,the teacher of those tribals(who was a blind man) stopped them and said,I got the dream of 'Ansh of Vishnu' visiting our tribe.Prithviraj Chauhan stayed in that village and learned Shabdh Bhedi Baan.
The other young villagers were jealous of Prithviraj Chauhan and when he was arriving from village,they challenged him to defeat them in Shabdh Bhedi Baan vidya,even Prithviraj was new at this knowledge,he defeated them successfully and killed Ghori with this 'Shabdh Bhedi Baan'.
