I dont like the story coz they distorted it
Dhrtarra consulted with Bhisma, Vidura and the Brahmins. They all decided that Yudhihira should be installed as prince regent. The ceremony was soon performed and the people rejoiced.
Duryodhana, however, was seething. How had his father bypassed him to make Yudhihira prince regent? When Bhima sneered at his distress, making it even more unbearable, he went with Karan and Dushashana to discuss with akuni a way to eradicate the Pavas.
shakuni's eyes narrowed as Duryodhana and the others vented their rage. He pressed his fingertips together to think. "The only answer," he said finally, "is to get the Pavas out of Hastinpura to a place where they can be killed without interference. We should somehow contrive to have them burned to death, making it seem like an accident."
Duryodhana smiled, but Karan was not so sure. He did not like akuni's devious ways. "Only cowards resort to deceit and underhanded methods. Powerful men favor open combat. If the Pndavas are our enemies, then let us march out to the battlefield and settle this dispute."
akuni's lips tightened. Then he smiled slightly. "My child, you are powerful but foolish. It seems you have forgotten Bhma's superhuman strength. And do you not remember the incident at Kmpilya? All of the Kaurava princes, with you by their side, could not overpower Drupada. But with only four fighting, the Pavas were successful. It is unlikely that we will win in a confrontation with those five brothers. Take heed of my words."
Reminded of Kmpilya, Karan was embarrassed. He let out an angry shout. They had been taken by surprise there. Drupada had been stronger than they expected. The Pavas had the advantage, confronting Drupada after having witnessed his actual power. Next time, if the Pavas confronted the Kauravas directly, things would be different. Kara shook his head and left the room. "Do what you will, but I cannot be a party to such cowardice."
