Duhshasana

Mbh.8.1.8	The Suta's son Karna, and king Suyodhana and Duhshasana and Shakuni, in special, could not compose themselves to sleep.
Mbh.8.4.100	Duhshasana also hath been slain by the renowned son of Pandu.
Mbh.8.5.115	The brave son of Duhshasana, possessed of mighty arms and fierce in battle, hath been despatched to Yama's abode by Draupadi's son exerting himself with great prowess!
Mbh.8.5.119	Thy son Duhshasana, accomplished in arms and invincible in battle, and who was always wrathful, hath, O monarch, been slain by Bhimasena.
Mbh.8.6.171	The mighty bowman Vrihanta, accomplished in arms and invincible in battle, hath been despatched to Yama's abode by Duhshasana, exerting himself with great prowess.
Mbh.8.9.284	Was my son Duhshasana, O Suta, slain, while flying away from the field, humbled to the dust, of cheerless soul, and destitute of all manliness?
Mbh.8.9.323	That foolish child of mine, of wicked understanding, who having got Karna, as also his brother Duhshasana, for his ally, had made up his mind for the rejection of Vasudeva's proposals, surely, that wight, beholding the slaughter of the bull-shouldered Karna and of Duhshasana, is now indulging in lamentations!
Mbh.8.13.512	Srutakirti encountered Shalya, and Madri's son, the valiant Sahadeva, O king, encountered thy son Duhshasana.
Mbh.8.23.946	SECTION Sanjaya said, While Sahadeva, filled with rage, was thus blasting thy host, Duhshasana, O great king, proceeded against him, the brother against the brother.
Mbh.8.23.950	Then Duhshasana, O monarch, having cut off Sahadeva's bow in that great battle, pierced Sahadeva himself with three and seventy arrows in the arms and the chest.
Mbh.8.23.953	Then the valiant Sahadeva taking up another bow, shot a deadly shaft at Duhshasana.
Mbh.8.23.955	Then whirling that sharp sword, Duhshasana quickly hurled it in that battle as his foe.
Mbh.8.23.962	Then Duhshasana, O king, having pierced Sahadeva in that battle, struck the latter's driver with nine arrows.
Mbh.8.30.1307	Then cutting off the bow of Duhshasana, he proceeded against the son of Radha.
Mbh.8.46.2521	The mighty-armed Duhshasana, possessed of the effulgence of the sun or fire with tawny eyes and handsome features, riding on the neck of a huge elephant, surrounded by many troops, and stationed at the rear of the army gradually approached for fight.
Mbh.8.46.2537	Yudhishthira said, With that view, do thou proceed against the son of Radha, and let Bhimasena proceed against Suyodhana, Nakula against Virshasena, Sahadeva against the son of Subala, Satanika against Duhshasana, that bull amongst the Sinis, viz, Satyaki, against the son of Hridika, and Pandya against the son of Drona.
Mbh.8.48.2660	Piercing Duhshasana with three arrows made wholly of iron, and Shakuni with six, he deprived both Uluka and his brother Patatri of their cars.
Mbh.8.48.2679	Then Duhshasana, beholding Vrishasena made carless and weaponless, quickly caused him to ascend his own car, and bearing him away from the spot, caused him to ride another vehicle.
Mbh.8.48.2683	The grandson of Sini, having made Duhshasana driverless and steedless and carless by means of nine times nine arrows made wholly of iron, struck Duhshasana with ten shafts in the forehead.
Mbh.8.61.3556	Shikhandi proceeded against Karna, and Dhrishtadyumna proceeded against thy son Duhshasana, accompanied by a large force.
Mbh.8.61.3572	Meanwhile Dhrishtadyumna, O monarch, afflicted by thy son, pierced Duhshasana, in return, with three arrows in the centre of the chest.
Mbh.8.61.3573	Then Duhshasana, O sire, pierced his assailant's left arm with a broad-headed shaft, sharp and straight and equipped with wings of gold.
Mbh.8.61.3574	Thus pierced, Dhrishtadyumna, filled with wrath and the desire to retaliate, sped a terrible shaft, O Bharata, at Duhshasana.
Mbh.8.61.3580	We then saw the mighty Dhrishtadyumna thus assailed by Duhshasana to resemble a huge elephant, held in check by a lion.
Mbh.8.61.3613	Duhshasana and Subala's son, encompassing the son of Pandu with a large elephant force, began to strike him with small arrows.
Mbh.8.66.3882	That Suta's son of wicked soul who had, laughing the while, commanded Duhshasana to forcibly drag Yajnasena's daughter won in gambling by Subala's son, hath he been slain today by thee?
Mbh.8.75.4556	Duhshasana, O Bharata, with the swelling host of the samsaptakas forming a portion of the Bharata army, fiercely attacked in that battle Bhima, that foremost of warriors of irresistible impetuosity.
Mbh.8.78.4718	Or, what did Karna, that foremost of victors, or the warriors of my army in that battle, or Kripa, or Kritavarma, or Drona's son Duhshasana, say?
Mbh.8.78.4777	At that time, the king Duryodhana, and Duhshasana, and Kripa, the son of Sharadvata, and Ashvatthama, and Kritavarma, and Shakuni also of great might, slaughtered the Pandava warriors in hundreds and thousands.
Mbh.8.82.5037	When such was the state of affairs, thy son Duhshasana, the younger brother of the king, fearlessly advanced against Bhima, shooting showers of shafts.
Mbh.8.82.5043	Prince Duhshasana, taking up another bow, pierced Vrikodara with a dozen shafts.
Mbh.8.82.5045	Then Duhshasana sped a shaft bright as the rays of the sun, decked with gold, diamonds, and other precious gems, capable of piercing the body of his assailant, and irresistible as the stroke of Indra's thunder.
Mbh.8.83.5048	SECTION Sanjaya said, Fighting fiercely, prince Duhshasana achieved the most difficult feats in that encounter.
Mbh.8.83.5056	Blazing with wrath at sight of Duhshasana, Bhima then addressed him, saying, Pierced I have been, O hero, quickly and deeply, by thee.
Mbh.8.83.5064	With that weapon, Bhimasena forcibly threw Duhshasana down from his car at a distance measured by the length of ten bows.
Mbh.8.83.5065	Struck with the impetuous mace, Duhshasana, thrown down on the ground, began to tremble.
Mbh.8.83.5067	As regards Duhshasana himself, his armour and ornaments and attire and garlands were all displaced, and he began to writhe, afflicted with agony.
Mbh.8.83.5069	The mighty-armed Bhima of inconceivable feats, O king, beholding Duhshasana in that plight, and recollecting the seizure of Draupadi's tresses and her disrobing while she was ill, indeed, the innocent Bhima, reflecting also upon the diverse other wrongs inflicted on that princess while her husbands sat with faces turned away from the scene, blazed up in wrath like fire fed with libations of clarified butter.
Mbh.8.83.5070	Addressing Karna and Suyodhana and Kripa and Drona's son and Kritavarma, he said, Today I shall slay the wretched Duhshasana.
Mbh.8.83.5072	Having said this, Bhima of exceeding strength and great activity suddenly rushed, from desire of slaying Duhshasana.
Mbh.8.83.5073	Like a lion of fierce impetuosity rushing towards a mighty elephant, Vrikodara, that foremost of heroes, rushed towards Duhshasana in that battle and attacked him in the very sight of Suyodhana and Karna.
Mbh.8.83.5075	Drawing then his whetted sword of keen edge, and trembling with rage, he placed his foot upon the throat of Duhshasana, and ripping open the breast of his enemy stretched on the ground, quaffed his warm life-blood.
Mbh.8.83.5078	Once more, Bhima of fierce deeds, his heart filled with wrath, beholding Duhshasana dead, laughed softly and said, What more can I do to thee?
Mbh.8.83.5083	Indeed, all those that stood around Bhima and beheld him drink the blood of Duhshasana, fled away, overwhelmed with fear, and saying unto one another, This one is no human being
Mbh.8.83.5089	Bhima, having slain there at the very sight of Karna the vindictive Duhshasana, took up a little quantity of his blood, and, endued with stentorian lungs, he said these words in the hearing of all those foremost of heroes of the world, O wretch amongst men, here I drink thy life-blood from thy throat.
Mbh.8.83.5096	Indeed, bathed in blood, with blood flowing from his wounds, with face exceedingly red, filled with great wrath, Bhimasena endued with great activity, said these words, Ye heroes, that which I had vowed in respect of Duhshasana in battle, I have accomplished today.
Mbh.8.84.5100	SECTION Sanjaya said, After the slaughter of Duhshasana, O king, ten of thy sons, heroes that never retreated from battle, all of whom were great car-warriors, endued with mighty energy, and filled with the poison of wrath, shrouded Bhima with their shafts.
Mbh.8.84.5109	Exceedingly pained by the calamity that has befallen his brother Duhshasana in consequence of his blood having been quaffed by the high-souled Bhima, Duryodhana is stupefied!
Mbh.8.84.5123	Possessed of mighty weapons, Karna's son then, desirous of showing his regard for Duhshasana, quickly took up another bow, and pierced Nakula, the son of Pandu with many mighty celestial weapons.
Mbh.8.88.5452	The wicked-hearted Vrikodara, having slain Duhshasana like a tiger, spoke words that still dwell in my heart.
Mbh.8.91.5780	Thyself and Suyodhana and Duhshasana and Shakuni, the son of Subala, had caused Draupadi, clad in a single piece of raiment, to be brought into the midst of the assembly.
Mbh.9.2.116	When Duryodhana had been slain, when Shalya has been slain, when Duhshasana and Vivingsati and the mighty Vikarna have been slain, how shall I be able to bear the roars of that Bhimasena who hath alone slain a hundred sons of mine in battle?
Mbh.9.4.252	Where was the Suta's son, where was Drona with all his followers, where was I, where wert thou, where was Hridika's son, where thy brother Duhshasana accompanied by his brothers when Jayadratha was slain?
Mbh.9.5.315	While clad in a single raiment and in her season, the princess Krishna was treated cruelly by Duhshasana in the midst of the assembly and before the eyes of all.
Mbh.9.5.354	We will now ascend the path that is trod by the celestials and by heroes unreturning from battle, that path which has been taken by our venerable grandsire, by the preceptor endued with great intelligence, by Jayadratha, by Karna, and by Duhshasana.
Mbh.9.19.1185	Save Bhima of mighty strength, there is none else in this world that can achieve that which was achieved by Bhima himself at the slaughter of Duhshasana.
Mbh.9.22.1512	After the fall of heroic Bhagadatta, of the Kamboja chief Sadakshina, and of Duhshasana, the carnage did not still cease!
Mbh.9.58.4222	All these wretches headed by Duhshasana, who used to utter cruel words, as also those other foes of thine, the son of Radha, and Shakuni, have been slain!
Mbh.9.59.4242	Having fought a wonderful battle, by good luck, O sinless one, thou hast quaffed the blood of Duhshasana, like a lion quaffing the blood of a buffalo!
Mbh.9.62.4528	I am now like a moneyless wayfarer and shall follow in the wake of Drona who has already gone to heaven, of Karna and Shalya, of Vrishasena of great energy, of Shakuni the son of Subala, of Jalasandha of great valour, of king Bhagadatta, of Somadatta's son, that mighty bowman, of Jayadratha, the king of the Sindhus, of all my brothers headed by Duhshasana and equal unto myself, of Duhshasana's son of great prowess, and of Lakshmana, my son, and thousands of others that fought for me.
Mbh.9.63.4554	I do not see Duhshasana beside thee, nor the great car-warrior Karna, nor those friends of thine numbering in hundreds!
Mbh.10.16.1019	I have quaffed the blood of the living Duhshasana.
Mbh.11.1.27	Alas, having heard of the slaughter of Duryodhana whose roars were as deep as those of a bull, having heard also of the death of Duhshasana and the extinction of Karna and the setting of the Drona-sun, my heart does not break into pieces.
Mbh.11.1.40	Thy son had Duhshasana for his counsellor, and the wicked-souled son of Radha, and the equally wicked Shakuni and Citrasena of foolish understanding, and Salya.
Mbh.11.14.577	Through the fault of Duryodhana and of Shakuni the son of Subala, and through the action of Karna and Duhshasana, extermination of the Kurus hath taken place.
Mbh.11.18.790	There, Duhshasana sleepeth, felled by Bhima, and the blood of all his limbs quaffed by that heroic slayer of foes.
Mbh.11.18.792	Addressing the dice-won princess of Pancala in the midst of the assembly, this Duhshasana, desirous of doing what was agreeable to his elder brother as also to Karna, O Janardana, had said, Thou art now the wife of a slave!
Mbh.11.18.800	There, that Duhshasana sleepeth, stretching his two massive arms, slain by Bhimasena like a mighty elephant by a lion.
