The dog represents Dharm. Isnt that a metaphor? Plus given how he has spent his whole life upholding his (twisted) version of Dharm and put it above all, his end seems quite right.

Actually, everything after the mongoose incident in Ashwamedhika Parva is considered later interpolation.

Has BORI removed it all?

Yeah. Probably.

What I meant is dog wasn't literally his papa.

No. Because it's there in most MSs. Thought is since mongoose was a buddhist symbol, that and all the rest were put in place by later writers... before written versions came into being.

One of the pieces of evidence being the wildly differing endings in other versions and even Bhagavatham and puranas.

As I said before, Tharu version ends with everyone simply leaving. Panchali goes home to her Agni family.

Bhagavatham has Krishna disappearing with only Arjuna as witness. I'm guessing Krishna just had it with Aryavarta by then. Yudhishtira just abdicates. Pandavas leave the land. Panchali and Subhadra die in the palace.

Devi Purana says Krishna leaves in front of everyone. Er... Panchali leaves with him. Pandavas return to their respective fathers. Arjuna goes to Vaikuntha since he is Vishnu here.

Well even if this version and instances were from day 1, it could still not be considered an Itihaas, this would at max be an idea of Vaishampayan.

Anyhow all the other versions given are actually post Mahabharata, so I am not sure if we could actually believe in them, yet I really hope that the Nepali version you said is true, in all the others Yudhishtir gets a happy ending something I hate.
