The Shalya Parva ((サンスクリット:शल्य पर्व)), or ''the Book of Shalya,'' is the ninth of eighteen books of the Indian Epic Mahabharata. Shalya Parva has 4 sub-books and 64 chapters.〔(Shalya Parva ) The Mahabharata, Translated by Manmatha Nath Dutt (1897)〕〔(Shalya Parva ) The Mahabharata, Translated by Kisari Mohan Ganguli, Published by P.C. Roy (1889)〕 Shalya Parva describes the appointment of Shalya as the fourth commander-in-chief of the Kaurava alliance, on the 18th day of the Kurukshetra War.〔 The parva recites Salya's death, how Duryodhana becomes mortally wounded and out of the entire Kaurava army, only 3 survive. Shalya parva also describes how Pandavas and Krishna are victorious in the war, but lament the enormous toll of the 18 day war on human lives on both sides. The book mentions the anger and hatred among survivors on the Kauravas side, particularly Duryodhana, Aswatthama, Kritavarman and Kripa.〔John Murdoch (1898), The Mahabharata - An English Abridgment, Christian Literature Society for India, London, pages 96-101〕 ==Structure and chapters== This ''Parva'' (book) has 4 sub-parvas (sub-books or little books) and 64 adhyayas (sections, chapters).〔〔(Shalya Parva ) The Mahabharata, Translated by Manmatha Nath Dutt (1897)〕 The following are the sub-parvas: :1. Shalya-vadha parva (Chapters: 1-22) :2. Shalya parva (Chapters: 23-27) :3. Hrada-praveca parva (Chapters: 28-29) :4. Gadayuddha parva (Chapters: 30-64) After three commander-in-chiefs of Kauravas army slain, Shalya is appointed the leader. He too is killed, as is Sakuni. Millions more soldiers die on the last day of war. Duryodhana in anguish leaves the battlefield, and goes to a lake. Bhima meets him there, challenges him to a battle. Bhima mortally wounds Duryodhana by crushing his thighs. Out of 11 Akshauhinis of the Kauravas, only survivors are mortally injured Duryodhana along with Aswatthama, Kritavarman and Kripa.〔Bibek Debroy (2013), The Mahabharata, Volume 7, Penguin, ISBN 978-0-143-10019-5, Section 74 - Shalya Parva〕 From Pandavas army, all five brothers, Krishna, 2000 chariots, 700 elephants, 5000 horsemen and 10000 foot soldiers survive.
