4) *Death of Duśśāsana.* In the fierce fight between Bhīma and Duśśāsana at Kurukṣetra Bhīma felled him with his club and sat on his chest asking him with which hand of his he pulled Draupadī by hair, Raising his right hand Duśśāsana cried out, "This is the hand you seek for". At this reply of his Bhīma pulled out Duśśāsana's right hand and thrashed him with it. He cut asunder Duśśāsana's chest and drank the blood which gushed out of it (Karṇa Parva, Chapter 83, Verse 8).
