vikarna



Now as Bhima who had sworn to kill all the Dhritarashtra’s 100 son calls Vikarna a man of Dharma and advise him to step aside. But Vikarna replies that even knowing that Kauravas would not win a war against a side with Sri Krishna on it, he cannot forsake Duryodhana.Vikarna reminds Bhima the Dice game and said-

“That was my duty then

And this is my duty now

Fight me o son of Vayu.”

Thus, when Bhima kills Vikarna after a mace fight. And his death brought tears to the eyes of Bhima.

   Bhīma, with a caring heart, uttered - “Vikarna, you know dharma and you were the only one who spoke in favour of us and Draupathi in the court. Me, battling against you or slaying you is only because of my vow. Forgive me for my rage against you.”
            On hearing the words of Bhīma, Vikarna replied – “Brother, don’t ask for forgiveness. What you are about to do is your Kshatriya duty. The reason we both are here is all for our love for our brother. Remember your Kshatriya duty and battle with me. I will be happy to die for my brother.”

Day 5

The Pandava Army suffers from Bhishma's attacks. Satyaki is being beaten by Drona, but Bhima drives by and rescues him. Arjuna kills thousands of soldiers sent by Duryodhana to attack him. Bhima engages Bhishma in a duel with no clear winner. Drupada and his son Shikhandi go to help Bhima, but they are stopped by Vikarna, one of Duryodhana's brothers, who attacks and injures them badly.

Day 14



While searching for Jayadratha on the battlefield, Arjuna kills seven akshauhinis of Kaurava soldiers. By Shakuni's plot, Duryodhana hides Jayadratha in their camp. Arjuna uses divyastra to carry Jayadratha's head to his father leading to his own father's death. Many maharathis including Drona and Karna try to protect Jayadratha but fail to do so. Arjuna warns that everyone who supported adharma would be killed.

While Arjuna destroys the rest of the Shakatavyuha, Vikarna, the third eldest Kaurava, challenges Arjuna to an archery fight. Arjuna asks Bhima to kill Vikarna, but Bhima refuses because Vikarna had defended the Pandavas during the Draupadi Vastrapaharanam. Bhima and Vikarna shoot arrows at each other, before Bhima kills Vikarna with his mace.
