The Surviving Heirs

A Nano Drama

Prativindhya (blowing conch): "Abhimanyu's slayer! Fight me."

Dauḥśāsani (twanging bow): "After Duryodhana or Yudhiṣṭhira, who rules? Neither Lakṣmaṇa nor Abhimanyu remains - it's you or I! Whoever is quicker!"

Prativindhya (shooting arrows): "I promised Uttarā!"

Dauḥśāsani (shooting arrows): "Either your wife or mine for company!"

Prativindhya's arrow slices off Dauḥśāsani's head.

Canonical basis: Karṇaparvan 4.14

tathā Dauḥśāsanir vīro bāhu-śālī raṇ'otkaṭaḥ
