118.

At a point when X was killing numbers of Pandava troops, Krishna advised Yudhishthira to adopt a plan to kill X. Krishna advised that it be proclaimed that Y was killed in battle, at which out of grief, it was expected that X would lay down his arm.
Yudhishthira, being a proponent of truth, hesitated at this, at which his brother Bhima killed an elephant in the Kuru army named Y, and proclaimed "Y is dead, Y is dead".
The proclamation had its effect, and X lay down his weapons, at which Z, born to King Drupada, beheaded him.
Give X, Y and Z.


Answer(Highlight):
X - Dronacharya
Y - Ashwatthama
Z - Dhrishtadyumna
