Duryodhan’s Death

Duryodhan was finally found hiding inside a tank. Duryodhan could not have been beaten in a straight mace fight but Bheem still challenged him. Their great fight went on for many hours. Duryodhan’s entire body except his pelvic area was protected with his mother Gandhari’s power. So, Lord Krishna told Bheem to hit Duryodhan on his thigh in order to win. Hitting anyone below the navel was not allowed in a fair mace fight. However, Bheem took Lord Krishna’s hint and thus fulfilled his vow of breaking Duryodhan’s thighs to punish him for humiliating Draupadi during the unjust gambling incident. Seeking revenge for his father’s death, Ashwatthama entered the Pandava camp at night, killed all of Draupadi’s sons mistaking them to be the five Pandava brothers. When the Pandavas returned, they were shocked! Now, there was no one left to claim the throne of Hastinapur after the Pandavas, except the unborn baby of Abhimanyu.
