In the previous episode, we had witnessed a remarkable showdown between Bheemasena and Ducchaasana. As both of them come face to face with each other on the seventeenth day, a huge war breaks out between the duo. Bheemasena’s mind flashes back with all those treacherous memories of Drauapti’s insult and molestation by Ducchaasana and because of this, his anger increases manifold. With all his fury, he begins the fight with Ducchaasana, who also puts up a brave fight against him. Both of them start off with the “Gadhaa-Yuddham”, which slowly transforms into physical wrestling (“Dvandha Yuddham”). A huge wrestle ensues and both of them inflict fatal blows upon each other. Both Bheemasena and Ducchaasana are in a savage resolution to kill each other on this day itself and their level of attack is at a different level altogether. With several severe blows inflicted by Bheemasena with his brute muscle power, Ducchaasana falls on the ground unconscious for a while. However, he once again gets up on his feet and tries to attack Bheemasena, but since this is a long-haul fight, Ducchaasana slowly starts losing his strength. He becomes tired of Bheemasena’s gusty blows.
Finally as Ducchaasana once again falls on the ground, Bheemasena is now quick to capitalize on Ducchaasana’s weakness. Last time when the same thing happened, Bheemasena allowed Ducchaasana to get up on his feet again by giving him time to recoup himself. However, this time around, Bheemasena isn’t going to allow this to happen! He immediately rushes towards the grounded Ducchaasana and stamps his chest firmly with his powerful right foot! As Ducchaasana tries to free himself from Bheemasena’s firm cusp, he raises his hands in the air to balance himself. However, Bheemasena is quick enough to catch Ducchaasana’s right hand and pulls it hard! While pulling his hand, Bheemasena roars in anger thus, “Oh Ducchaasana! This was the same hand which dragged Draupati on that fateful day, isn’t it? This was the same hand which pulled Draupati by her hair, isn’t it? Hence, is it worth it for this hand to be part of your body? Now let me show who this Bheemasena is! Today you will repent heavily for that grave mistake you had committed on that day!”
Fuming thus with anger, Bheemasena increases his muscle power suddenly to an infinite level and dangerously pulls Ducchaasana towards him by his hand. Unable to bear this immense pressure, Ducchaasana’s right hand comes off his body! Now he is only left with one hand and because of this brutal amputation, Ducchaasana veils in acute pain, unable to talk a word back! Now, Bheemasena catches hold of the left hand of Ducchaasana and roars in anger thus, “Oh Ducchaasana! This was the same hand which removed Draupati’s saree on that fateful day, isn’t it? How can this hand be in your body so happily? Do you think you can get away from me so easily after the heinous crime that you’ve committed? Now face the music for what you’ve done!” Roaring with immense fury thus, Bheemasena once again applies enormous pressure on Ducchaasana’s left hand and effortlessly amputates it from his shoulder! With fury raging in Bheemasena’s face, he throws both the amputated hands of Ducchaasana on either side!
As Bheemasena does so with anger, he once again drags Ducchaasana who is in unbearable pain right now. Ducchaasana is unable to even stand on his feet anymore! However, Bheemasena is in no mood to relent! He wants to ensure that Ducchaasana is killed as brutally as possible! Now he drags Ducchaasana towards him, inflicts him with severe blows on his head and chest and pushes him vigorously on the ground! As this happens, Ducchaasana falls on the ground with blood flowing from all parts of his body! His bones and muscles are broken into pieces within his body as he falls on the ground dead! As Ducchaasana breathes his last, Bheemasena lets out a huge roar of anger, with which the entire battlefield at Kurukshetra comes to a standstill! The Devas (Celestial Beings) who are eagerly watching all of these from above are stunned to bits! Bheemasena has unleashed a brute of his muscle power for the first time ever today and the world has witnessed one of the most cold-blooded murders of a hard core criminal! So for today, let us understand up to this point and we shall continue this further in the next episode to see what Bheemasena is going to do next! Stay tuned!
