Bheema ( Andhamathe ThiShTa ):
You nitwit, stop. Where are you running off?
son of a blind, I will drink your blood now
and fulfil the vow to tie the
beautiful Panchali’s long tresses
Then the battle:
An angry Bheema confronts Dussasana. All the memories of the suffering that Dussasana heaped on the Pandavas stoke his anger. He recalls Draupadi’s vow that Bheema will slay Dussasana and drink his blood.
A ferocious battle ensues in which Dussasana is killed...
Bheema, who is in a trance, meets Draupadi and ties her tresses with his blood-soaked hands.
Then he meets Lord Krishna and laments that he killed all his relatives.
Krishna consoles him that what he did was his dharma and calms him down.
