Ashwattama, Kritavarma and Kripacharya sneaked inside Pandavas camp.
Dhristyadyumna was in deep slumber after a long time. He was sleeping next to Shrutsena.
Shikandi was also sleeping peacefully for the first time ever in his life. Even after completing the reason of his birth he fought with Pandavas for his sister.
Ashwattama and others entered that place and almost killed many soilders who were awake there.
Shikandi's sleep got disturbed by the sounds from outside. He slowly woke up without disturbing Dhristyadyumna and Upapandavas and took his sword and came out.
Finding Ashwattama and his team slaughtering the soilders and heading towards the camp , Shikandi stood as shield to protect the sleeping ones.
Ashwattama , Kritavarma and Kripacharya attaked him together.
Shikandi gave them a tough competition.
Ashwattama stabbed Shikandi from back and turned to enter the tent but Shikandi clutched his legs and started to pull him back.
Ashwattama kicked Shikandi and swinged his sword which beheaded Shikandi.
Finally , Devi Amba who took birth as Shikandi to kill Bheeshma breathed his last.
Kritavarma and Kripacharya stood outside and Ashwattama entered the tent.
He found 6 sleeping figures.
He saw Dhristyadyumna who was sleeping peacefully. Ashwattama's eyes turned red with anger and grief.
" The one who killed my dearest father is sleeping in front of me ..... he will never wake up again " Ashwattama said for himself and chopped Dhristyadyumna's head.
A victorious smile danced over his face.
" I have avenged my father's death " Ashwattama took Dhristyadyumna's blood in his hands.
He smiled and smeared it on his face and body.
After bathing from Dhristyadyumna's blood , Ashwattama turned towards other 5 sleeping figures.
Due to darkness in the tent as well as his heart he failed to recognise them.
He assumed them as Pandavas.
" Pandavas....... how can you sleep peacefully after causing this disaster ..... you all together killed my father na ..... now take this " He said and chopped their heads one by one.
Everytime when the blood sprinkled on his face..... he felt as some one pouring milk over him.
Krishna's eyes filled as he looked restless Pandavas and Panchali.
Ashwattama took all the five heads and came out victoriously .
Bali came running to stop his father from taking part in this dreadful sin but he was late.
Kritavarma and Kripacharya set the tent in fire and ran from there.
The life of Upapandavas ended here.
Vaishampayana
" mitr ...... Duryodhan see I have killed Pandavas... see here I have brought their heads " Ashwattama came running to him with joy.
Duryodhan too gave a smile.
" Ashwattama ..... give that Bheem's head to me " He asked.
Ashwattama searched for a while because nothing could be seen clearly in that dark night of Krishnapaksha.
