Dushasana

दुःशासन · duḥśāsana

Second of the hundred Kauravas; Duryodhana's right hand

He did what his brother ordered, in front of everyone, and Bhima never forgot.

Dushasana is the brother who carries out Duryodhana's wishes. In the dice hall he was sent to fetch Draupadi. He dragged her in by the hair and, on Karna's suggestion, tried to pull off her garment before the assembly. Bhima swore to drink the blood from his chest. On the seventeenth day of the war he kept that oath.
