Mama Shakuni Meets His End
Shakuni was Duryodhana's wicked uncle who had helped the Kauravas win the Pandavas' half of the kingdom from them in a game of the dice, and sent them into exile. He was very cunning and devious. On the sixteenth day of the battle of Kurukshetra, a fierce fight was going on between Nakula and Shakuni. Shakuni was a brave warrior and he was
overpowering Nakula, when Nakula's brother, Sahadeva, came to his
rescue. He shot an arrow at Shakuni saying, "It is your evil mind and
numerous sins that have led to this war. Now face your doom." The arrow
cut Shakuni's head off.
After Shakuni's death. Duryodhana was left all alone. He did not even
have Karna to support him. Duryodhana realized that his end was also
near and was sad and broken hearted.
