With great effort, Duryodhana raised himself a bit, supporting himself on his elbows. He wanted to see the heads of the Pandavas. Aswatthama gave him the bundle. Duryodhana picked the head that resembled Bhima, crushed that with his fists. The head broke. He was surprised. He then hit the other heads which easily broke.
Duryodhana said these are not the Pandavas. The head that could withstand the blows of maces could not so easily crush with his fists.
He then said to Ashwatthama - You have killed the sons of Draupadi and thus not left anyone alive in our Kuru dynasty.
Grieving, Duryodhana died.
Ashwatthama said I had promised that I will kill the Pandavas. I still have the weapon of Brahma. I will use that on the Pandavas.
The sun was about to rise. Seeing that, the three went and hid somewhere.
