“<span abp="80" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pandavas who got out of their sleep
was surprised to see Hidimbhi, a beautiful young maiden before them.<span abp="81" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kunthi spoke “ Oh! Beautiful young lady, look
like the daughter of deities, who are you? Oh! Attractive lady with marvelous
physical features! Why did you come here? Where did you come from? Are you the
deity of woodland or celestial Apsara ? Detail us about you and the purpose of
your visit. ” Hidimbhi answered “Oh! Beautiful young woman, this magnificent
dark woodland of wide acres is the dwelling place of a dreadful demon
Hidimbha.<span abp="82" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am the sister of the chief
of demon Hidimbha.<span abp="83" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh!<span abp="84" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Respected woman, I have assigned by my
brother to kill you and your sons.<span abp="85" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
have been sent by his cruel command and I came here and met your most powerful
son.<span abp="86" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Woman with divine qualities,
like any other living creature, I have tortured by the cupid arrows of Lord
Manmatha that brought before your son.<span abp="87" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Later, I have assumed your powerful son as my husband.<span abp="88" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been trying to protect all of you from
this woodland, but your son refused to accept any kind of help from me.<span abp="89" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later, my brother arrived here in my long
absence to kill your sons.<span abp="90" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But your most
powerful son, my husband Bhima had fierce battle with him and dragged into the
interiors of woods, a vicious battle is happening between a man and a demon of
equal strength, they are exhibiting their valor and killing each other and thus
creating deafening noise in the entire woodland. ”<o:p abp="91"></o:p></span></span></div>

found Bhima was battling with the demon Hidimbha, fighting like two lions.<span abp="103" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dust raised from the fight had created an
illusion of wild fire; they were completely covered with the dust and gave out
of the appearance of two mountains fighting with each other.<span abp="104" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Arjuna screamed “Oh! Bhima with the powerful
arms, we were not aware of the fierce battle between you and Hidimbha, I am
here to help you to fight against the awful demon, let me fight against him and
kill him, Nakula and Sahadeva will take good care of our mother.”<span abp="105" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima said “Oh! Brother, just watch the fight
between us, I am well capable to deal with this demon and he is not going to
escape from my hands.”<span abp="106" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Arjuna spoke “
Oh! Bhima destroyer of enemies! Why did you wait so long to kill him? We have
to precede our journey before the sunset and we cannot stay here anymore.<span abp="107" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The demons will acquire extra ordinary

Bhima was inspired by the fiery speech of Arjuna, he approached Hidimbha like a

carried the dark cloud like Hidimbha on his shoulder and went round and round
for hundreds of times.<span abp="122" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He screamed at
Hidimbha “You have built muscles without any intelligence, so you are deserved
to die.<span abp="123" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will make the entire forest
serene and divine in your absence once again.<span abp="124" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You will not feast on humans anymore.” Arjuna said “ Oh! Vrukodhara, you
are already tired and need to settle down, give me an opportunity to handle
Hidimbha, otherwise we together will kill him, and we have no time in hand.
”<span abp="125" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima got infuriated and trampled
Hidimbha on the ground and killed him like an animal.<span abp="126" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hidimbha released a deafening noise at the
time of his death; the entire woodland shuddered at the noise.<span abp="127" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima shredded his colossal body holding in
his hand, in this way he pleased his brothers.<span abp="128" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They all were thrilled on the triumph over Hidimbha, assembled together
and praised Bhima on his victory over Hidimbha.<span abp="129" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Arjuna informed Bhima about the province located near the forest and the
need to make a move at the earliest in order to protect them from Duryodhana,
so that he could not trace their footsteps.<span abp="130" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Hidimbha, the chief of the demons was anxiously waited for his sister’s return for
long time, shortly he was annoyed to find no sign of her.<span abp="66" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He leaped down from the tree and rushed
towards the place where Pandavas are settled.<span abp="67" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His appearance was dreadful with hideous physical structure, wide opened
red eyes and crooked teeth.<span abp="68" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hidimbhi
noticed her brother dived down from the tree and hurriedly approaching them. <span abp="69" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hidimbhi spoke in extreme shame to Bhima<span abp="70" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“ Oh! Greatest among the warriors, Hidimbha,
the evildoer and carnivore is rushing towards us in a rage. <span abp="71" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I earnestly request you and wish you and your
brothers should follow my words carefully.<span abp="72" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have the demonic powers which would help me to move freely wherever I
desired to go.<span abp="73" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Destroyer of enemies,
I can carry all of you and fly high in the sky, therefore awake your brothers
and mother from their sleep.”<span abp="74" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima
consoled her saying “Oh! Beautiful lady with tender waist, do not worry about a
thing.<span abp="75" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As long as I am here none of the
demons could harm my family. I will kill Hidimbha in front of your eyes, he is
the evildoers and apt to become my enemy, in fact even the entire clan of
demons could not withstand the powers of my arm.<span abp="76" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have powerful arms like the trunk of
elephant; my thighs are well-built as the iron mace and see my wide and strong
chest.<span abp="77" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Beautiful lady, today you
will see the valor in me equivalent to Lord Indra.<span abp="78" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have obtained immense strength in me and
don’t treat me as an ordinary human being.”<span abp="79" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hidimbhi replied “Oh! Tiger among the warriors, you have obtained
divinity and amazing powers in you, I never misjudge your valor.<span abp="80" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have seen Hidimbha’s cruelty and
fearlessness to humans.”<span abp="81" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p abp="82"></o:p></span></span></div>

Bharatha, Hidimbha listened to the words of Bhima and entered the place where
the Pandavas are settled.<span abp="90" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was
surprised to see his sister not in her usual dreadful form; she has assumed the
form of a beautiful young maiden. She was attired in gorgeous garments and
decked in various ornaments all over her body.<span abp="91" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her stunning appearance terribly infuriated Hidimbha, he screamed at her
“Who has created impediments in my path when I was anxiously anticipated to
wave off my hunger?.<span abp="92" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shame on you
Hidimbhi, you have desired to gratify your sensual pleasure and thereby
blemished the status and dignity of our ancestors and the entire clan of
demons,<span abp="93" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am going to take away the life
of you and the person with whom you wanted to have pleasurable time.” After
saying so, Hidimbha furiously approached Hidimbhi to kill her on the spot; suddenly

Carnivore, try your luck on me and don’t try to attack a woman which is
unethical, especially she is sinless but she has been trapped to commit
sin.<span abp="104" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has desired to gratify her

the worst sinner in the clan of demons, your sister has sincerely followed your
command and came here.<span abp="107" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has fallen in

moment, because he has committed the mistake.<span abp="109" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s unfair to pounce on her and I will not let you harm her in my
presence. If you have any courage in you, come and fight with me, I will send
you to the world of Lord Yama, I will crush your head like trampled by an elephant.<span abp="110" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your mortal coil will be the fabulous feast
for fox and vultures.<span abp="111" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Carnivore, you
have made this forest inhabitable for demons I can make the forest tranquil
without any demons.<span abp="112" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your sister will see
your death in front of her eyes; the human beings will dwell in this forest
without any fear once again.”<span abp="113" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hidimba
was annoyed at the vigorous voice of Bhima, he replied “ Oh!<span abp="114" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Human, don’t be over proud of your valor,
prove your power in action, fight against me and prove your strength until that
I will not harm your family, let them have good sleep.<span abp="115" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am quite sure that I will take away your

<span abp="82" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span abp="83" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Rishi Vaishampayana narrated
‘There was a hideous demon Hidimbha who lived in a Sala Vruksham in the woods
where the Pandavas were settled, he was so powerful and was yearning to consume
human flesh so long.<span abp="84" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had a dreadful
atypical physique and horrible face, he has long feet and hands, eyes were
blood red, he had pot belly and crimson colored hair all over the body, two
long and sharp protruding teeth gave out a ghastly look, he was edgily waiting
for the human flesh to consume.<span abp="85" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was
settled in a Sala tree thoroughly observing the woods; unexpectedly there he
found the sons of Pandu were fast asleep on the ground.<span abp="86" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was deviously enjoying the smell of human
flesh with greed and hunger; he noticed that the Pandavas were in sound sleep
on the ground.<span abp="87" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hidimbha spoke to his
sister “Oh! Dear sister, I have found my favorite meal after long time.<span abp="88" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The taste of the human flesh brings water in my
mouth, my sharp teeth is going to have much preferred meal after a long
time.<span abp="89" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am going to cut off their throat
and veins; I will gulp down the hot blood oozing from their body at my heart’s
content.<span abp="90" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, you go and find out
who they are and kill them and bring their corpse, the smell of human flesh is piercing
my nose.<span abp="91" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are sleeping in the wood
which belongs to me; you need not get scared of them.<span abp="92" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can excessively consume the human flesh
and dance to the tunes.”<span abp="93" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! King of
Bharatha dynasty,<span abp="94" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hidimbhi who
equally<span abp="95" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>enjoys the human flesh after
listening to the command of her brother Hidimbha, deceitfully moved to the
place where Pandavas settled.<span abp="96" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There she
found Pandavas sleeping on the ground with their mother, Bhima was meticulously
watching over them and he was wide awake.<span abp="97" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Instantaneously, Hidimbhi fell in love with Bhima at first sight, his
attractive and powerful physique like Sala tree enticed her, she murmured to
herself ‘<span abp="98" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is the most charming man
with attractive physical features<span abp="99" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in
golden complexion, powerful arms and shoulders, conch shaped neck and beautiful
eyes like lotus petals, he is well deserved to be my husband.<span abp="100" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will not follow the treacherous commands of
my brother anymore.<span abp="101" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s always great
feeling for a woman to be in love with her husband and it’s much stronger than the
affection to her brother.<span abp="102" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pleasure
derived out of killing the Pandavas is momentary; if I did not kill them I can
live with them happily ever after.”<span abp="103" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hidimbhi
who has the power to disguise in any form according to her wish, turned into a
beautiful young maiden decked in various jewels and gently walked towards
handsome Bhima with a smile on her lips, Hidimbhi mellifluously spoke to Bhima,
“Oh! Great warrior, where are you coming from? Who are you? <span abp="104" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who are these divine people sleeping on the floor?
Oh! Sinless people, who is this graceful woman sleeping peacefully in this dark
forest, as if she is in her chamber.<span abp="105" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do
you know that this dark forest is the dwelling place of a dreadful demon? I am
speaking the truth; this is the dwelling place of hideous demon Hidimbha.<span abp="106" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Men with divine personality, I have been
assigned by my brother Hidimbha to kill all of you and send your bodies as his
food.<span abp="107" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span abp="108" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Honestly, I have fallen in love with you the
moment I witnessed your divine features, I wanted to protect you, I have decided
that I will not marry anyone other than you.<span abp="109" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You are well aware of the responsibilities and righteousness, I request
you to show kindness to me after considering my plight of the situation.<span abp="110" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am completely exhausted by the cupid arrows
of Lord Manmatha, I earnestly desire for your presence, accept me as your wife.<span abp="111" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Great warrior with strong arms, I will
protect you from the dreadful demon who desired to eat the flesh of
humans.<span abp="112" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can peacefully live in the
stunning mountainous areas where humans cannot live, I can fly effortlessly
that I used to do for fun.<span abp="113" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can live
peacefully and happily with me in the most interior part of the woods.”<span abp="114" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima replied “Oh! Mischievous spirit, I am
living a life of an ascetic like a saint, how can I leave my brothers and
mother for you? How can I abandon my mother and brother who are fast asleep for
a demon and gratify my sensual pleasure?” Hidimbhi answered “Oh! Sinless
warrior, I am prepared to provide any kind of help, let them get out of the
sleep.<span abp="115" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will protect all of you from
the flesh eating demon Hidimbha”.<span abp="116" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima
said ‘Oh! Mischievous spirit, I cannot wake up my brothers and mother due to
the fear of your brother, they are peacefully sleeping on the ground, I am not
a coward and the demons cannot endure the power of my arms. Oh! Lady with
beautiful eyes, Humans or Yakshas or Gandharvas cannot withstand my immense
power. Oh! Gentle one, I am not worried about anything, it is your wish to stay
back or leave this place or bring back your brother to me.”<o:p abp="117"></o:p></span></span></div>

‘The powerful Bhima preceded journey through the dense woods, carrying his
brothers and Mother on his arms and shoulder, huge trees and its roots were
crushed under the velocity of his feet, his swift movements created airstream
of monsoon season.<span abp="50" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Huge trees and its

its flowers and fruits, shrubs on his way and paced through that dense forest

<span abp="58" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bhima’s pace was equivalent to
the King of Birds Garuda and Lord Vayu/Maruth, thus the Pandavas felt
unconscious for a few moments, they have crossed cavernous streams and
concealed their original forms due to the fear of the sons of
Dhrutharashtra.<span abp="59" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima continued to carry
his mother on his shoulder and crossed hazardous and uneven river banks.<span abp="60" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Warrior of Bharatha dynasty, during the
hours of sunset Bhima carried his brothers and mother on his arms and shoulder,
preceded journey through the dense forest and arrived at a place where fruits
and vegetables are in abundant and water to quench their thirst.<span abp="61" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were lot of birds and wild animals were
making deafening frightful noises out of panic, it continued and very much
increased after the sunset, the darkness swallowed the entire forest and
nothing was visible.<span abp="62" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An untimely storm
destroyed the trees and shrubs along with its flowers and fruits, fallen on the
ground with a loud noises.<span abp="63" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pandavas were
extremely tired of hunger and thirst, lack of sleep etc….they were struggled to
keep their pace, they remained tired of hunger and lack of food and water to
quench their thirst.<span abp="64" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kunthi was desperately
murmured “I am the mother of Pancha Pandavas, I am in the middle of my children
still I am totally exhausted and desperate due to thirst.”<span abp="65" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her distressed cries made Bhima uneasy.<span abp="66" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span abp="67" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
decided to continue their journey, they moved through the dense woods where
there were no living creatures, he crossed swiftly through the wild wood and
found a place where there was a huge banyan tree positioned, he dropped his
brothers and mother under the tree and spoke “All of you relax here for while,
I can listen to the sounds of water birds, I think there must be pond located
nearby, I will go and search for water.’<span abp="68" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After obtaining permission from Yudhishtira, Bhima swiftly moved through
the way where noises of the water birds heard.<span abp="69" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Oh! Great Warrior of Bharatha dynasty, soon Bhima arrived in a place of
water source, he took ablutions and satiated his thirst.<span abp="70" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He dipped upper clothes in water and
collected water for his brothers, shortly he returned to the place where his
brothers and mother was settled.<span abp="71" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was
inconsolable and miserable at the pathetic state of his mother, took a deep
breath like a serpent; it was intolerable for him to witness his mother and
brothers all tired of hunger and thirst, sleeping on the ground.<span abp="72" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vrukodhara was mentally shattered and cried loudly
“<span abp="73" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have made some severe sin that’s why
I have to witness my brothers and mother sleeping on the ground, it was indeed
our bad luck <span abp="74" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>prevented us to sleep on
the luxurious beds in Varanavarth. Oh! Kunthi, the loveliest woman like lotus
petal! Oh! Sister of Vasudeva who is the great warrior and destroyer of
enemies! Oh! Kunthi, who have possessed divine marks and daughter of King
Kunthi Bhoja, daughter – in – law of King Vichithraveerya and the wife of
glorious King Pandu, Mother of Pancha Pandavas!<span abp="75" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Oh! Kunthi you are deserved to be in a classy and comfort bed, there
will be no painful situation other than watching you sleeping on the ground.
Oh! Mother, who had attained children from the deities Lord Dharma, Lord Indra
and Lord Vayu, used to sleep on the luxurious beds in the palace, now sleeping
on the ground due to tired of hunger and thirst. Oh!<span abp="76" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is painful to watch my fearless brothers
sleeping on the ground.<span abp="77" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Yudhishtira
who has possessed the righteousness to rule the three worlds sleeping on the
ground due to weariness like any normal human being, Oh! Arjuna, who has
possessed the complexion of clouds and matchless in charisma sleeping on the
ground, Oh! Nakul and Sahadeva, who has the resemblance of the deities Ashwini
Kumaras in their matchless charisma sleeping on the ground like any ordinary
human being, it is appalling to watch them sleeping on the soil.<span abp="78" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One who has no relatives of treacherous
qualities will live alone happily like a tree standing out of its cluster, will
be worshipped by everyone. One who has numerous relatives who possessed the
qualities of righteousness and fearlessness will live happily.<span abp="79" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People who has possessed virtues, courage,
richness and who showers happiness amongst friends and family will live like a
huge trees in woods. We have undergone several hardships in our life, we have
exiled from our Kingdom and barely escaped from the mouth of death due to the
treacherous acts of evil Dhrutharashtra and his son; we have protected
ourselves from the wild fire and taking shelter under this tree.<span abp="80" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have been gone through various disasters,
where will we go now? Oh! Evil sons of Dhrutharashtra, enjoy your momentary
victory, you have blessed with good luck by the deities, Oh! Sinners, you all
are alive because Yudhishtra has not yet ordered me to slaughter you all.<span abp="81" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Otherwise, I would have send you, yours sons,
friends, brothers, Karna and Shakunison of Subhala to the world of Lord Yama.
Oh! Sinners, what shall I do? The elder amongst the Pandavas, the righteous
ruler Yudhishtira has no enmity towards you” Bhima continued to cry his heart
out.<o:p abp="82"></o:p></span></span></div>

completely devastated; in a rage he was crushing his arms together and released
sigh of utter desolation.<span abp="90" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima/
Vrukodhara were helplessly watched over his brothers sleeping like any ordinary
human being on the ground.<span abp="91" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He guessed
that there must be some city nearby the dense woods, he decided keep himself
awake and protect his brothers and mother who were fast asleep, safely kept the
wet clothes he has brought for them to quench their thirst.<span abp="92" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus Bhima was wide awake, settled near his
brothers and mother who were fast asleep. <o:p abp="93"></o:p></span></span></div>

by Purochan by the command of deceitful plan of Duryodhana, after a long
struggle to put off the fire they found that Purochan and his family was killed
in the fire accident.<span abp="81" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people of

Oh! King Janamejaya, one of the experts in the construction of passageways and

<span abp="68" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vidura has intense faith in me, it was
one of the reasons he instructed me to help Pandavas and assist Yudhishtira in
the construction of passageway.<span abp="69" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
preplanned by Purochan to set fire on the entrance of this palace in the dark
hours of Amavasya on a Chathurthi day.<span abp="70" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This deceitful plot was conceived by sinful Duryodhana, son of

Vidura spoke about the treacherous plan in an outcaste language/mlecha and you
have answered him in the same slang.<span abp="72" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
have mentioned the above words with a sincere intention to obtain your trust.”<o:p abp="73"></o:p></span></span></div>

“Oh! Virtuous one, I know you as an affectionate and trustworthy friend of

Vidura who is aware of all that happenings. <span abp="82" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will be treated as close associate of us now

treat you in the same way as we do to Vidura and protect us from the evils like
Vidura.<span abp="84" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This palace was constructed by

associates to haunt us.<span abp="85" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kindly provide
us your sincere assistance and protect us from the death in the wildfire, the wicked
plan of Duryodhana should not be successful.<span abp="86" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This palace was constructed close to his stockroom of armaments and ammunition;
it has huge walls with no escape route.<span abp="87" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vidura
was well aware of the treacherous plans of Duryodhana from its beginning and
duly informed us.<span abp="88" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kshathri/Vidura has
given plentiful instructions and information about the same and warned us.<span abp="89" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should work without the knowledge of

the palace; it has the mouth at the center of the palace that was skillfully covered
with the wooden planks which was not possible to recognize easily for Purochan
who was always watchful.<span abp="92" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pandavas were vigilant
at all times with their armaments, they slept with their weapons.<span abp="93" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They travelled through the woodlands and
conducted hunting expedition in the day hours.<span abp="94" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Oh! King Janamejaya, they pretended that they have absolute faith in
Purochan though they least believed in him.<span abp="95" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In this way, they lived safely in the Palace of Wax.<span abp="96" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>None of the people of Varanavarth was aware
of the plans of Pandavas.<span abp="97" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was Kankan,

people of Varanavarth came to know about the arrival of Pandava’s and it
brought them in a state of ecstasy.<span abp="82" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They all hurried in various convoys to receive the sons of Pandu, they
were carried numerous gifts mentioned in the scriptures to offer the sinless
sons of Pandu and they showered blessings on them uttering ‘Victory to you all’,
they gathered around the sons of Kunthi with utmost admiration.<span abp="83" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yudhistira majestically stood in the middle of
those people of Varanavarth like Lord Indra among the deities,<span abp="84" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>they were all adorned in various precious
gems were highly revered by the people of Varanavarth, eventually they entered
in the thickly populated city.<span abp="85" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
visited the house of Brahmins who were engaged in their duties of teaching Veda
& Scriptures, prominent members of the Varanavarth, and the homes of soothars,
Vaishya and shudras.<span abp="86" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! The bull of
Bharatha dynasty, Pandavas assigned Purochan to proceed to the palace
constructed for them and they followed him.<span abp="87" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At the arrival Purochan served them with meals, drinks, beddings
etc..<span abp="88" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pandavas continued to reside in this
palace was highly revered by the people of Varanavarth and Purochan, in this
way, Pandavas stayed ten days in that palace.<span abp="89" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Though the palace was inauspicious place to live in, Purochan repeatedly
convinced them that it was one of the divine palaces to settle.<span abp="90" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later, well attired Pandavas with various
gems and jewelry entered like Yaksha in to the inner areas of palace with
Purochan.<span abp="91" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sinless Yudhishtira keenly
observed the entire palace and informed Bhima that it was constructed with
easily burning materials, mostly wax added with high quality ghee and fat.<span abp="92" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yudhishtira spoke to Bhima “ Oh! Destroyer of
enemies, it is clearly evident that the palace is constructed with easily
burning materials.<span abp="93" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the plan of
our enemy to construct the palace with all those dried materials like grass,
straw, woods added with pure ghee by a skillful architect.<span abp="94" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the treacherous place of Duryodhana,
we all believed Purochan who is the wicked servant of Duryodhana waiting to
burn us into ashes. <span abp="95" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Son of Prutha,
the righteous and intelligent Vidura who was always desired for our good has already
informed me about the depraved plan of Duryodhana and the wax house.”<span abp="96" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima replied “Oh! Brother, if you are aware
of this palace was constructed with easily burning materials, in my opinion it
is advisable to leave this palace right now and return to our home.”<span abp="97" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yudhistira answered ‘Oh! Bhima, it is wise to
be in this palace, we will continue to live here without giving any suspicion
to Purochan, we will remain vigilant and cautious, and at the same time we
should find an appropriate way to protect us.<span abp="98" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Purochan is an evil-doer living in this palace at the instruction of
Duryodhana. <span abp="99" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How do Bhishmacharya react
to the situation after listening to the news of our death in fire accident? Did
he get fuming with anger towards Kauravas? There is a possible chance that all
the righteous members in our family of Kurus include our grandfather
Bhishmacharya may get wrath and react to this incident.<span abp="100" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we move out this palace with the fear of
fire accident, there is a risk that Duryodhana who is desired the throne of
Hasthinapur has the power and men to follow his evil instructions, he will send
his men to search for us and kill.<span abp="101" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
have neither power nor men with us, he has possessed the both.<span abp="102" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have no companion or close association, we
have no wealth but Duryodhana has all that in his possession. Is not that clear
that Duryodhana will try to kill us by using any of the means, either by wealth
or power or men?<span abp="103" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, we will bamboozle
Purochan and run our days.<span abp="104" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will
continue to live in forests and wander on Earth, conduct rigorous hunting
expedition that will help us to find out various routes, which will help us to

<span abp="80" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span abp="81" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Rishi Vaishampayana continued “
Pandavas preceded to Varanavarth in an auspicious chariots pulled by fine
horses which has the speed of wind.<span abp="82" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Before getting into the Chariots, Pandavas reverentially greeted and prostrated
before Bhishmacharya, King Dhrutharashtra, Dronacharya, Kripacharya, Vidura and
elderly members of Kuru family.<span abp="83" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pandavas
affectionately embraced the youngest members of the family, bade farewell to
the ministers of assembly and the people of Hasthinapur.<span abp="84" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vidura and elderly members of the Kuru family
and the people of Hasthinapur followed the lion like valorous Pandavas for a
little distance and returned with heavy heart.<span abp="85" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The people of Hasthinapur observed the grief of sons of Pandu while
leaving their own land and they screamed in loud voices “The wicked and blind
King Dhrutharashtra is failed to pay attention towards the righteousness and impartiality.<span abp="86" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sinless Yudhishtira, valorous Bhima, or
Dhanajya/ Arjuna son of Kunthi/Prutha should not have any guilt feelings in
future (The people of Hasthinapur had foreseen the great war of Kurushetra). <span abp="87" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How could it is possible for the honorable sons
of Madhri, Nakula and Sahadeva to react to this situation when Yudhishtira,
Bhima and Arjuna keeps silence at this moment? King Dhrutharashtra is jealous of
the achievement of these valorous sons of Pandu in their right of their
Kingdom.<span abp="88" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How did Bhishmacharya remain
silent without any grief and keep unnoticed the unfair practises when Pandavas
exiled to the sinful land Varanavarth?<span abp="89" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The King Vichithraveerya, son of righteous King Shanthanu and King Pandu
were ruled this city successfully and took care of its subjects as their
children,<span abp="90" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but King Pandu attained
salvation in the world of deities and King Dhrutharashtra turned self-centered
and arrogant towards the sinless sons of Pandu, legal heir to the throne.<span abp="91" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why should we stay in this flourished
city?<span abp="92" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will discard our homes and treat
that we too exiled from this city and follow Yudhishtira the righteous son of
Pandu.”<span abp="93" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yudhishtira listened to the
sorrowful words of the people of Hasthinapur, though he was completely
devastated at the turn of events, he pacified the people “King is like our father,
he is respectable, he is our preceptor and elderly person, we should always
follow his instructions without any doubt.<span abp="94" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You all are our sincere friends, you have been caring and pouring your
good wishes upon us, hence you have pleased us; you have to return to your
homes now and sincerely wait for the opportunity to serve us for the betterment
at the right time.” after listening to the modest opinion of Yudhishtira, the
people of Hasthinapur started to leave, before that they circumambulated and
showered blessings on them.<span abp="95" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once the
people of Hasthinapura started to leave to their homes, Vidura who is prominent
in the Nithi Sastra/impartiality approached Yudhishtira and spoke in the slang
of an inferior caste/Mleccha, that was well known to Yudhishtira as well “It is
the responsibility of an individual to be cautious and remain well- protected
himself against the treacherous plans of the enemies in the regime.<span abp="96" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If an individual knows the fact that there
are various methods other than the weapons to chop off the body and aware to protect
from them, he remains victorious and unaffected by the enemies.<span abp="97" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The blaze which swallow the straw and wood,
the sun which evaporates the dew drops cannot do harm to the rats or deer
sheltered in the hollow of a tree, thus the intelligent ones survive at the
time of crisis.<span abp="98" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A blind has no knowledge
of paths and never bothers to know the same. <span abp="99" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A non ambitious individual never prosper in
his life.<span abp="100" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keep all that I have mentioned
in your memories and protect yourselves.<span abp="101" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Your enemies’ evil idea to punish with the non-weapon/wax house should
be confronted like a lion which resides in a cavern with various exits to
protect it from the hazard; it will help at the time of fire hazard.<span abp="102" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An individual attain the knowledge of various
routes when he takes up expedition, stars will help to locate the different
directions.<span abp="103" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who has perfect control over
their senses cannot be defeated by enemy.”<span abp="104" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yudhishtira replied ‘I have understood the truth’ after listening to the
inspirational speeches of Vidura.<span abp="105" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later,
Vidura followed them for a while and bade farewell and wished them good luck
and returned home.<span abp="106" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span abp="107" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhishmacharya, People of Hasthinapur and
Vidura stopped following them, then Kunthi spoke “I did not understand anything
Kshatri/Vidura has told you, he was not conversing anything but you have replied
to him in the same slang.<span abp="108" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We did not
understand anything, if it’s harmless to know I would like to hear about the
conversation.”<span abp="109" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yudhishtira answered “
The righteous Vidura warned me about the wax palace constructed for us which is
easily burn into ashes, also instructed me to learn the ways to protect from
the danger and advised that who has perfect control over senses would always be
successful.<span abp="110" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I replied to Vidura that I
have understood all that said.”<o:p abp="111"></o:p></span></span></div>

Oh! Bharatha, the wicked Duryodhana was extremely satisfied to hear the
instruction of King Dhrutharashtra to send Pandavas to Varanavarth.<span abp="94" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Powerful bull of the Bharatha Dynasty,
later Duryodhana invited Purochan, his advisor in isolation, held his hands
firmly and spoke ‘Oh! Purochan, the entire flourished land of <span abp="95" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kuru Kingdom is mine and you have equal rights
on this.<span abp="96" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, it is your responsibility
to protect the same; I have no trustworthy and devoted advisor like you.
Therefore, the respected one, I want your guidance and support to vanquish my
enemies with your intelligence.<span abp="97" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Follow my
instructions carefully, King Dhrutharashtra has sent the Pandavas to
Varanavarth, according to the instructions of the King, they will delightfully spend
their time in the festivals going to be held in Varanavarth.<span abp="98" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should reach quickly in Varanavarth
before Pandavas arrives and construct a marvelous palace close to the place
where the weapons and armaments are stored.<span abp="99" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The palace should be well decorated with precious gems and classy
materials.<span abp="100" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should utilize sands, ghee,
rusted clothes and straws, flesh and flood, wood and large quantity of wax for
covering its walls, construct a spectacular palace which should not be recognizable
to Pandavas or anyone that it is easily destructible by fire. <span abp="101" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Further, receive Kunthi with her sons and
relatives to the palace with all the honors.<span abp="102" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>King Dhrutharashtra should not raise any complaints about the
arrangements have been made in Varanavarth.<span abp="103" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Provide them with the most luxurious furniture and fixtures and vehicles,
none of the people of Varanavath should know about our plans.<span abp="104" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later, wisely execute our plan, set fire on
the main entrance to the palace when the Pandavas are in deep sleep and ascertain
that Pandavas are killed in this fire hazard.<span abp="105" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The people of Varanavarth should speak that the Pandavas died of fire
accident in the palace.’<span abp="106" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Purochan
amicably replied ‘Let it shall be ‘after listening to Duryodhana and hurried in
his chariot to Varanavath.<span abp="107" style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Within in a

Hidimba lived in the woodland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hidimbi
met Bhima and his brothers along with their mother Kunthi in the woodland, on

</span>A wax palace was constructed in Varanavarth <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>by Purochan at the instruction of Duryodhana

Hidimbi was married to Bhima with a condition that the couple would spend only
the hours from dawn to dusk in each other’s company, rest of the hours Bhima
would be in the company of his brothers and his mother, this arrangement will
continue till she conceive a child of Bhima.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

son Ghatolkacha, who was the resemblance of Bhima and has powerful arms like
his father.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As promised earlier, the
couple had to separate and Bhima had to leave the woodland with his family,

Drutharashtra was in a quandary after listening to the wicked plans of
Duryodhana and shrewd strategies of Kanika, he was not in a position to think
or act wisely, he was in a state of utter grief, it was the time King Subhala’s
son Shakuni, Duryodhana, Karna and Dusshasana cleverly developed their tactics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Duryodhana addressed to his father “ Oh!
Dearest father, make the most of an intelligent plan to send the Pandavas to a
secluded city named Varanavarth, after that we need not worry about them.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>King Drutharashtra immersed in a serious
thought for a while and continued “<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Pandu was always devoted his life for the righteous deeds, he was
remained responsible towards his families and relatives always, especially to
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was not given any importance to
worldly matters, eventually gave away the Kingdom of Hasthinapur to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His son is also following the footsteps of
his father, devoting his life for the righteous deeds; he has attained
abundance of fame in a short span of time with the virtuous act amongst the
subjects of Hasthinapur and the neighboring cities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How it would be possible to get rid of
Yudhishtira who is the legal heir to the throne of Hasthinpur from his own
Kingdom?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ministers of the assembly,
warriors of Hasthinapur and their families were well taken care by Pandu,
subjects of Hasthinapur were attained highest of prosperities and happiness
during his regime will definitely stand for Yudhishtira, won’t they accept our
families and friends?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

us and have to take care of our future prosperity and act wisely right
now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have to offer abundance of
affluences and high status to the people of Hasthinapur and manipulate them to
stand with us; fortunately we have the complete possession of the wealth of
Hasthinapur and the ministers as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So, you have to introduce a wise plan and send the Pandavas to
Varanavarth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh ! King, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kunthi and her sons can return to Hasthinapur

Duryodhana, I was thinking of the same in my heart, but I know it’s an immoral
act, so I refused to disclose it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
quite sure that Bhishmacharya, Dronacharya, Kripacharya and Vidura will not
support the very idea of exile Pandavas from Hasthinapur, they all are righteous
and intellectuals always treat Pandavas and Kauravas are equal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we act treacherously, don’t we get killed

Bhishmacharya has no boundless affection towards Pandavas or Kauravas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If any problem arises, he will not take any
sides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have the excellent support of
Ashwathama, son of Drona and its obvious and certain that his father takes the
side of his son always.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kripa, Son of Sage Sharadhwad will support
Drona and his son Ashwathama, he cannot stand against his brother-in-law and
his son.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though Kshatri/Vidura secretly
stands by the side of Pandava always, he count on us for his livelihood and he
cannot do much damage to us as a single person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So, don’t think of anything or hesitate to order Pandavas to exile to
Varanavarth and take an immediate action to leave them this country right
now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Dearest father, you will put
off my ongoing rage towards Pandavas by this act and my grief as well, which
was stealing my sleep and piercing my heart like sharp arrows.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Destroyer of enemies, listen to me carefully I will explain the hideous
incident happened at Varanavarth and the survival of Pandavas in detail. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Duryodhana was concerned and fidgety at the
valor of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima/Vrukodhar grown into most
powerful warrior and Arjuna outshined in the science of armaments and usage of
weapons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Karna, Son of Surya and Shakuni
brought innumerable devious plan to kill Pandavas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Panavas effortlessly conquered each of
their plans and remained insuperable and cautious at the guidance of
Vidura.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Bharatha,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> t</span>he people of Hasthinapur highly praised the valor of sons of Pandu after witnessing
their astonishing skills. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people
assembled in the Palace and different places affirmed that Yudhishtira, the
eldest son of Pandu is capable in ruling Hasthinapur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though Dhrutharashtra is highly intelligent,
he is incapable to rule the city as he was born blind, so it’s out of question
for him to rule the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Bhishmacharya,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the righteous Son
of Shanthanu who has attained innumerable pieties has discarded his rights to
be the heir to the throne of Hasthinapur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So they decided to choose Yudhishtira, son of Pandu legal heir to the
throne of Hasthinapur who has profound knowledge in Veda Sastra, honorable and
compassionate as their King,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yudhishtira
who sincerely follows the guidance of righteous Bhishmacharya and Vidura who
has scholastic skill in the affairs of the Kingdom will be the appropriate
ruler,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>he has great admiration towards
his ancestors and has the ability to keep his subjects happy and
prosperous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Duryodhana happened to hear
the public opinions about Yudhishtra, eventually it supplemented the fire of
covetousness against them, and he was powerless to speak against the subjects
of Hasthinapur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It raised the
avariciousness in Duryodhana, immediately he met his father Drutharashtra who
was in solitude, he prostrated before him and narrated what he had heard from
the subjects of Hasthinapur praising Yudhishtira.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Duryodhana fiercely spoke about the decision
of the subjects of Hasthinapur to choose Yudhishtira as King and inability of
his father to be the heir to the throne due to his blindness and righteous Bhishmacharya’s
vow to discard the rights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He blamed the
entire people of Hasthinapur has abhorrence towards them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He expressed extreme anxiety about if
Yudhishtira was appointed as heir to throne; he and his children will lose the
right to rule the Kingdom permanently, he worried that his family will lose
their royal identity and respect forever, moreover it will lead them in a
pathetic state, they have to seek the help of Pandavas for running their
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He gave a selfish opinion to his father that
one way or another they have attained the crown due to unforeseen happenings in
the family, it is advisable to keep the right of ruling the Kingdom with them
forever without paying much attention to the people of Hasthinapur.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

conversation took place between Kanika & King Drutharashtra.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kanika continued, “Oh! King, if you really
aspire for your well being,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you should
not hesitate or show mercy or feel guilty to kill your opponent whether he is
your son or friend or brother or father or Mentor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An opponent should be killed either with the
power of black magic, or wealth or by inducing poison or any other deceitful
means. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An opponent should not be ignored
at any circumstances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When two equal forces
meet, who is determined and diligent will win.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>An individual, who has no knowledge to differentiate good or evil,
ultimately chooses immoral path will deserve severe punishment; even a mentor
who follows the immoral ways also deserves punishment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should have a smile on your face at all times
even if you are under wrath; you should not express your anger and should be
talented to hide your emotions from others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Oh! Bharatha, you should speak gently to your opponent before and while
attacking him, speak to him sympathetically immediately after the attack, even
shed tears of sorrow for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You calm
down your opponent by providing him abundance of wealth or apply discreet means
to have peace with him and patiently look for an opportunity to defeat him at the
right time, do not show any kind of mercy on your opponent burn them into ashes
and never permit beggars, thieves and atheist to settle in your Kingdom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should brutally kill your opponent by
utilizing wealth, power or any deceitful method, while you trample down your
opponent don’t allow him to succeed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
your opponent is too powerful, he will uproot you if you are not well prepared;
do not trust the ungrateful and grateful as well. You should thoroughly examine
a person’s faith and distrust before appoint him as a spy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should have spies in eighteen prominent
places such as gardens, arenas, temples, place where chief of ministers &
ministers of assembly resides, residential areas, place where chief of army
resides, treasurer, clubs & Entertainment places, streets, forest areas,
Yajna arenas, etc..<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should have a
sweet tongue and rock hard heart; you should have sweet talk while occupied in
appalling deeds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you prostrate before
someone you should be loyal and desirable to them, whoever follow morality and
integrity will be worshipped by everyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Righteousness and wickedness are mutually assorted, you have to choose
the righteousness and discard the wickedness, honorable lives a restricted life
without wealth, wealthiest people who has no virtues lives a life without happiness.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You follow the path to remain griefless,
leave your jealous, ego and pride, and perform your duties and responsibility
with utmost dedication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must discuss
your problems with intellectuals and Brahmins, seek their advises and listen to
them carefully.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have faced
failure in any attempt, don’t remain motionless; put all your efforts to regain
your strength.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should listen to the most
inspiring legend of great heroes ( Nala & Damayanthi, Harischandra
&Chandramathi, Lord Rama & Goddess Sita).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A brokenhearted person should be optimistic
and look forward of bright future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
the time of misery an intelligent person recollects his achievements he had
made so far.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A person who acts imprecisely
after entering a peace treaty with his opponent will fall down at any moment".</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Rishi Vaishampayana narrates,
King Drutharashtra was extremely anxious after witnessing the valorous nature
of son’s of Pandu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shortly King
Drutharashtra summoned to Kanika who is the senior personnel from the ministers
of assembly of Kingdom of Hasthinapur, expert advisor to the King and
proficient in Rajaneeti / internal as well as external affairs of the
Kingdom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>King Drutharashtra spoke “Oh!
Greatest among the Brahmins, I am too resentful at the splendors of Pandvas,
they are revealing their supremacy on this land with their extreme
proficiency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should I be in peace with
them? Or Should I fight against them? I need your expert advice on this topic
and will sincerely follow your opinion.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kanika listened to the harsh words of Drutharashtra and replied ‘ Oh!
Sinless King and prominent amongst Kurus listen to my words carefully, you may
get agitated at my opinion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rulers
should have their mace ready on their raised broad shoulders at all times to
fight against their opponent at any time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They should strive twofold to build their powers, so that the rulers of
neighboring countries will have an uneasiness to fight against, he should not
expose his anxieties in open, clever enough to keep an eye on the activities of
his opponent and find out their weaknesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A ruler should keep himself protected all his activities and its
results, anxieties etc… <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>under the tight
shield like a tortoise, he should be successful in hiding all his fears, the
initiated task should be completed successfully; an evil grass should not spoil
the entire crop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your enemies and evil
doers always deserve punishment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the
opponent is too fearless, you should wait for his terrible times and destroy
him without any second thought or guilt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Oh! King do not condemn your opponent publicly, a spark of fire is to
engulf the entire forest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A clever ruler
should act as blind and deaf at times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If a ruler is not capable to punish his rival or find no mistakes in his
opponent that deserves punishment, he should act as a blind and remain ready to
act /cautious always, just like a deer in woodland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can kill your opponent while he is in
your command or kill him publicly without any mercy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can kill your opponent or the person who
hurt you by spending abundance of wealth, so that you can remain protected and
peaceful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can defeat your opponent
with the inborn skills; prowess, knowledge in armaments, with the strength of
army etc…uproot your opponent and destroy his closest associations, faithful
servants and friends just like rip opened the root of a tree which cannot
survive with its stem or branches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keep
all your activities and decisions under wrap; closely watch the anxieties and
failures of your opponent. Oh! King you should rule your Kingdom wisely keeping
an close eye on your opponent, engage yourself in performing Yagas/Yagnas/ fire
sacrifices and follow strict austerities and act like a true ascetic in that
way acquire the confidence of your opponent, once you attained the complete
trust of your opponent, attack him like a jackal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s fair to adopt the attire of an ascetic
for accumulating wealth as the same way used for plucking good fruits from the
trees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s advisable to carry your
opponent on your shoulder always until his worst time appears before you, so
that you can fling him on the ground at his worst time like tossing mud pot on
the ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should not leave your
opponent unscathed, you should kill him mercilessly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should not spare your opponent at any
reason, he should be killed either by the force of your army or creating
mistrust in his associates or spending wealth.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Kanika narrates the story of cleverness
of a Jackal lived in the wild in the company of a tiger, mouse, wolf and a
mongoose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One day they witnessed a
young and healthy deer that was the leader of the herd, though the wicked
Jackal and his friends chased the deer, they could not get their hands on it
due to its swiftness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The clever Jackal
addressed his companions with an evil idea; mouse should injure the feet of the
deer while it’s fast asleep and tiger should chase it and seize it, ultimately
the feast will be shared amongst the friends according to their needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As instructed the prey was killed and brought
before the Jackal, rests of the animals were gone for ablutions leaving the
feast before Jackal who was the intelligent one amongst crowd.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was tiger returned from ablutions and saw
the Jackal under deep meditation, tiger invited his friend to have pleasure on
their feast, but Jackal refused to touch it and lied it was mouse who hunted
the deer wanted to have initial share on the feast, Tiger was annoyed by the
inconsiderate words of Jackal and left the place with a promise that it will
hunt its prey by its might.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next
came mouse, Jackal told him that the Mongoose said the feast is venomous
because it was caught with the claws of tiger, also lied that Mongoose is ready
to make feast on mouse, abruptly mouse disappeared into a furrow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then came the wolf after ablutions, Jackal
lied that the King of beasts Tiger left the place very angrily and will be back
with its female companion at any time by now, though the wolf has love for
flesh, it left the place abruptly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally,
Mongoose approached the greedy Jackal with a desire to have a share on the
flesh, but Jackal lied to Mangoose that he was defeated his companions with the
might of his arms and challenged for a fight to have a share on meat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mangoose believed it was for real and escaped
from the scene. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally, the clever Jackal
ate the whole fresh flesh at its heart content.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kanika advised King Dhrutharashtra <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“ A
King should act intelligently at all circumstances like a Jackal, so that he
can live a happy life by intimidating the powerless opponent and infuse fear in
them, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>keeping peace with the fearless
opponent, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>provide abundance of wealth to
a greedy opponent,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>utilize power &
valor on the inferior opponent, so that you can have complete control over your
opponent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh! Sinless King! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carefully listen to what I have to comment.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

face, excessive perspiration hurried to the pavilion, he was resembled
Athirathan/Charioteer, his upper clothes were misplaced, he <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was feebly walked towards the arena with the
support of a stick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instantly, Karna who
was just declared as King of Anga rushed on his feet to the elderly person and
prostrated before him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The elderly
person nervously looked around; he embraced Karna addressing him ‘Oh! My dear
son’ and shed tears of joy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima
observed the entire happenings and realized the fact that Karna was none other
than the son of a Charioteer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bhima
openly poured out ruthless words against Karna who was from the inferior clan
born to a charioteer, hence he does not deserve to be crowned as the King of
Anga or die in the hands of Partha of superior clan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Further, he callously<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>informed
him to pick up the reins of the horses the very own work of a charioteer, a dog
has no right to consume the ghee which is kept to offer in the fire sacrifice,
just like he has no capabilities to rule the Kingdom of Anga.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Karna was deeply hurt by the unsympathetic
words of Bhima, he dejectedly looked up on the sky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Duryodhana violently raised from the middle
of his brothers, he screamed at Bhima ‘ Oh ! Vrukodhar, It is not good for you
to speak rudely about Karna.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prowess is
the might of a Kshtriya, though he was born in an inferior clan, a Kshatriya is
deserved to be in the battlefield and fight against his opponent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of times, the Origin of sacred rivers
and prominent warriors are never known to the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fierce weapon Vajrayudha was created out
of Sage Dadhichi’s bone, birth of Lord Guha/Subramanya as a personification of
various deities known as son of Lord Agni, son of Krithika, son of Lord Rudra,
son of Goddess Ganga etc…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have heard
of valorous Kshtriyas turned out as Brahmin/knower of Brahmam, just like Sage
Vishwamitra and various Kshtriyas attained Brahmathwa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The illustrious Sage Drona who is prominent
in the usage of armaments was born in a vessel. Sage Kripa was born to a
celestial in the clan of Sage Gautama.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Just like, I also know about the birth details of the Pandavas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Karna who has the resemblances of Lord Surya,
was born with the protection shield and golden ear stud is not possible for an
ordinary woman to give birth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has
possessed immense prowess in the science of armaments and archery, I thoroughly
convinced about his capabilities, thus I declare that he is capable to rule not
only the Kingdom of Anga but the entire universe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If anyone has the disbelief in my words, let
them face this challenge.’<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

words of Duryodhana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the time of dusk;
Duryodhana took the hands of Karna and went out of the well illuminated
pavilion. Pandavas along with Dronacharya, Kripacharya and Bhismacharya returned
to their palace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has created utter
confusion amongst the audiences; some of them raised their voices and rejoiced
over the victory of Arjun and others were cheered on the triumph of Karna and
Duryodhana respectively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kunthi
recognized Karna as her son with the divine symbols on his body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kunthi’s maternal love made her extremely
jubilant at the fortune of Karna who was presently declared as the King of
Anga. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Duryodhana was exceedingly
delightful to have the association of Karna, a prominent archer capable to
overcome his enemies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus Duryodhana
got relieved from the fear of Arjuna’s proficiency in archery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Karna mesmerized Duryodhana with his
excellence in speech.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the moment
Yudhistara started to believe that there was no one in the universe to conquer
Karna in his fineness in archery.</span></span></div>

anxiously looked upon her two sons who were clad in shield and fuming against
each other, she turned out helpless with extreme distress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kripacharya came forward and declared in
thunderous voice that Arjuna , son of Kunthi<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>from the Kuru race and younger to Yudhishtira & Bhima will fight
against the fearless Karna, further ordered Karna to declare the details of his
clan, after listening to the details of the superiority of the clan only Arjuna
will fight against him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to
Sastra, the princes of superior clan never fight against inferior or ordinary

such as warriors, Princes and men in charge of the Army can be crowned as

between the two equal forces such as Duryodhana and Bhima created a huge chaos
amongst the audience, they shrieked calling out the names of their favorite
princes and the pavilion looked a lot like roaring sea. Dronacharya
ordered Ashwathama to bring a halt to the battle between Bhima & Duryodhana
in order to bring peace amongst the audience otherwise it may create abhorrence
amongst them. The two warriors were holding their mace and puffed like
lions on each other, like whirlwind at the time of deluge. Ashwathama
intervened and controlled the two warriors; Dronacharya entered the field and
ordered to stop the sounds of musical instruments, further he publicized at the
top of his voice about his abundance of love towards Arjun as his son and
declared the forthcoming performance of Arjun/ Partha who is well versed in the
science of armaments, son of Lord Indra and equivalent to Lord Vishnu brother
