- The eldest son of Dhritarashtra and Gandhari, principal antagonist of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata, known for attempting to burn the Pandavas in a house of lac, banishing them after a rigged game of dice, and ultimately being killed by Bhima with a mace in the Kurukshetra war.

  > दुर्योधन (duryodhana) [Printed book page 2-104 ] Duryodhana — the eldest of the hundred sons of Dhṛta- rāṣṭra and Gāndhāri; 1 Subhadrā was intended by Rāma to be given in marriage to him; 2 was met by Kṛtavarman and taken leave of; 3 went from Balabhadra and learnt gadā from Balarāma at Mithilā; 4 mistook the colour of the flooring of the Pāṇḍava's sabhā (built by Maya) for a sheet of water and had a nasty fall at which Bhīma and the ladies laughed. This enraged Duryodhana who was conciliated by Yudhiṣṭhira who sent clothes to him through Kṛṣṇa. He did not accept them, but went home downcast; 5 kept under influence Vinda and Anuvinda of Avanti; 6 banished the Pāṇḍavas and Draupadī to the forest for defeat in the game of dice; 7 resented Sāmba's action in taking away his daughter Lakṣmaṇā in svayamvara and wanted to punish him; heard of Rāma's arrival and extended welcome to him; afraid of Rāma's prowess agreed to the marriage of his daughter to Sāmba and gave a rich dowry; 8 did not feel happy over the success of the Rājasūya, where he was in charge of the treasury; 9 failed to hit the fish mark in Lakṣmaṇā's svayamvara; 10 Jealous of Kṛṣṇa and Draupadī, his mind set on the latter; 11 ordered Vidura's banishment for offering good counsel, and insulted him as the son of a dāsi; 12 met the Pāṇḍavas in war at Kurukṣetra; arranged in vyūha at Syamanta- Page2-105+ 39 pañcaka; fought with Bhīmasena who killed him with his gada; lay in the battlefield with his thigh fractured, along with eleven Akṣauhiṇis. 13 Built a house of lac to get the Pāṇḍavas consumed by flames. 14 [ Footnote: 1) Bhā.
