Did Bhima kill Duryodhana or just wound him?
Hare Krishna question did Duryodhana did Bhima actually kill Duryodhana or did he only wound him and he died later answer Bhima's attack on Duryodhana was mortal in the sense that it caused his death but that death did not happen immediately just like when Arjuna shot so many arrows at Bhishma Bhishma did not die immediately that was of course because Bhishma had the capacity for Iksha Mrityu but he survived for a long time for many many days even after he was wounded and immobilized and stopped fighting similarly Bhima when he wounded Duryodhana that Duryodhana that wound was fatal but Duryodhana fatal means it was going to cause death but that death did not come immediately he survived for some time during which Ashwathama came and Ashwathama was crowned as the commander and Ashwathama did the night slaughter of the Pandava army and then he came back to with the five heads of the Pandava's sons which he pretended were the Pandava's heads when Duryodhana with his last remaining strength took the heads in his hands and tried to crush them and when he was able to crush them he immediately understood that these are not the Pandava's heads he said the Pandava's heads are so powerful that I would never have been able to crush them and he said you have killed the Pandava's sons and in this way you have ended our dynasty alas what a terrible thing you have done and with that grief compounding his misery of the bodily pain he died so on the 18th towards the afternoon evening the battle took place where Bhima and Duryodhana and Bhima killed Duryodhana Bhima wounded Duryodhana but after that he stayed there lying on the battlefield throughout the night and in the early morning of the 19th day after the towards the end of the Saptik Parva, Saptik Parva is the parva in which Ashutama kills the Pandava's army and towards the 18th evening he was wounded and 19th morning he died because it was Bhima's blow that was the cause of that cause the mortal wound which eventually led to his death so it is said that Bhima killed Duryodhana although that killing did not happen immediately thank you question.
