Kurukshetra War Day-16

On the seventeenth day, Karna defeated Bhima and Yudhisthira in battle but spared their life. Later Karna resumed duelling with Arjuna. During their duel Karna's chariot wheel got struck in the mud and Karna asked for a pause. But Krishna reminded Arjuna about Karna's ruthlessness onto Abhimanyu while he was similarly left without chariot and weapons. Hearing his son's fate, Arjuna shot his arrow and decapitated Karna. On the same day, Bhima swung his mace and shattered Dushasana's chariot. Bhima seized Dushasana and killed him, thus fulfilling his vow when Draupadi was humiliated.
