"Dumézil finds the closest parallels to this in the Scandinavian story about Baldr’s death and Ragnarök. Duryodhana corresponds to Loki in Scandinavian tradition and they both scheme in similar ways to get rid of their enemies. They arrange a game, which they manipulate in such a way that their opponents are overcome. Yudhishthira corresponds to Baldr; he loses everything and is forced to leave, whereas Baldr dies and disappears into the realm of the dead. Both Duryodhana and Loki use other people in order to accomplish their plans: in India, the blind Dhritarashtra allows the game of dice with the supernatural opponent; in Scandinavia, the blind Hod carries out the evil deed. In both traditions, a gloomy period follows on from this: in India, the exile of the Pandavas; and in Scandinavia, the current world coming to an end. In the Mahābhārata, this is a fairly short period of time, but in what Dumézil believes to have been the original myth, it was much longer and represented the end time, Kali Yuga. In both myths, this period ends in a huge clash between good and evil forces. The good times that follow during the reign of Yudhishthira correspond to the renewal of the world in the Scandinavian myth."
