Dhritarashtra standing
in the contest, turned his face to the window, he can breathe fresh air that
blows too fragrant flowers and the soft scent of wet ground, as though he can
also listen to the smooth sounds of dewfall. However, he can not see the
beautiful flower garden, cool green leaves, clear pond water, as well as the colour of the entire palace. His eyes just knows only one colour, black, is the
longer seemed deepened. That said, the mother Ambika closes her eyes when
following Putrotpadana ceremony
organized by sage Vyasa to obtain offspring, the baby is then born unable to
see anything. Dhritarashtra has the blind eyes.
King Astinapura it
often cursed destiny of a life that must be lived, he can recognize the character
of the beating footsteps, speech, words and tone. However, he was never able to
recognize faces as well as the figure of the owner of that face. Every inch of
territory in the palace had been identified, he does not need to be guided
during the walk, from the contest toward the stairs, counting the number of
steps and then sat with a majestic throne. However, he never knew the real
situation happening in the great hall but from every word that is spoken.
Dhritarashtra can even throw a knife right on target, but he never knew how the
blade flashed, how the actual shape of the target to be attacked.
Supposedly he was
entitled to the throne, instead of Pandu, but birth defects obstruct footsteps
to achieve the highest place in Astinapura, until finally, Pandu resigns from
the throne, because the curse pasthu.
He was only wearing a crown mortgaged, the future first son of Pandu will
reclaim the crown, succeeded him as king. Of course, he is not alone in
governing Astinapura. The Great Bhisma
who actually have a heavier responsibility, he is actually entitled to the
throne. Bhisma getting older age, all his hair has turned white similar to the colour of clothing is always worn. However, it causes age miracle never dampen
the ability of Bhisma in managing the administration, he still appears as a
knight gallant and handsome brahmin.
Mahatma Vidura had grown up, he has studied the science of government directly in court life since a young age. Now, he is the prime minister Astinapura were able to be able and wise. Dhritarashtra had no trouble led the kingdom to prosperity, the problem was a disappointment to a pair of eyes that can only see the dark. Dhritarashtra could not stare at the pretty face Gandhari, the queen only known through the melodious voice, warm and fragrant body.
Ups, Gandhari, a figure
with a story of its own story.
Gandhari, the Princess
of King Subala of the Kingdom of Gandhara, an area that will be called
Kandahar, which includes Pakistan Southwestern and Eastern Afghanistan. Gandari
very much hope that she will be married to Pandu. But Bhisma always be entitled
to marriage, Gandhari was married to Dhritarashtra, the blind brother Pandu.
Hope Gandari pieces to be a disappointment, especially when Bhisma gave Pandu
permission to marry well with Madrim. Gandari knows how to live a life of
marriage in the kingdom without a sense of love and authority to choose, since
the wedding day he closed his eyes anyway, then in front of the crowd, he
appears also as a beautiful queen who was blind her eyes.
Shakuni, youngest
brother to accompany Gandari to Astinapura, it seemed to spark the presence of
very small flame, but when the court life changed as wadding which has been
eligible for the oil, with a sly Shangkuni bear breathing fire on it. Shakuni
become a symbol of sycophants and all the cunning that has never been separated
from human life.
Gandari do described marriage with difficult feelings, if she lived in an age, so that a princess has the right to choose a future husband? However, she lived at a time when a princess must remain silent when married, whose main task is to give birth. The problems that emerged later, a few years after the marriage was Gandari not also contain, even after news of the Pandavas was born in the middle of the forest until well into the palace. Gandari know, without the ability of a mother give birth to children, her fate will be at stake, the whole palace will press on with the many ways that she would be excluded from court life. Gandari feeling then was upset, she must do something for the continuity of the lineage. Until one-day Abiyasa Resi came to visit for Gandari to Astinapura.
"Pleased with the
presence Resi Abiyasa, you as a glass of water at the time of an empress feel
thirsty", Gandari receive a helping hand Resi Abiyasa, she knows what to
do an empress, she can not devote trouble to people who are not trustworthy and
can not do anything. She put respect for Resi Abiyasa, he was as if he were
visited by parents who can receive all the weaknesses and strengths are.
Gandari wholeheartedly fulfil all the needs of Receipt Abiyasa during his stay
in the palace, a gesture that touched the heartstrings of the sage, she
understands the turmoil and the tenderness of the empress Astinapura.
"I always pray
consort Gandhari always be in good health, being a light to the whole kingdom
Astinapura" Resi voice Abiyasa in, he has seen much life story, he should
understand why a beautiful empress had to cover her eyes. Even when a piece of
red silk fabric dispel the ability to see a queen, Gandhari’s beauty still
looked markedly. Gandari body slim and tall clothing wrapped a queen with fancy jewellery sparkling dazzle. Her makeup is amazing, graceful demeanour able to mask
the whole turmoil themselves, but Gandari not fully able to pretend in front of
a sage. Abiyasa able to see with the eyes of the heart sharpness.
"If Gandari really
could be a light to Astinapura, because since marriage was, I still had to wait
for the birth of a baby. What exactly are the duties of a queen, but lowering
the potential successor to the throne ", Gandari start croaking voice, the
pressure of Dhritarashtra will be the birth of her children getting the day was
getting hurt. Dhritarashtra can not sue the birth of a child to anyone except to
Gandari.
"Can I do the
Queen Mother?" Resi Abiyasa respond to complaints Gandari wisely, he also
knows the duties of a queen is giving birth or it will be deemed not to have a
role in court life.
"Do I have twice
say, the necessity of birth for me?" Gandari took a deep breath, she knew
magic Resi Abiyasa, then she need not hesitate to declare his complaint.
"Okay, I will give
grace. How many children empress expect? "
"I want a hundred
children were just as great with his father", Gandari ask the attitude firmly, she wants an excessive number
of children without realizing the terrible result of the amount that should be
born.
"Well, I'll give
you a hundred children as a gift", Rishi Abiyasa nodding as certainty of
that grace.
Soon Gandari contains,
she felt a happiness that is not equal, she will soon become a mother, meet the heavy-duty of a queen. But the distance between joy and sorrow are not far
away. Gandari despair, after nine months and ten days pregnant, the baby in the
womb was also born. When the pregnant come to two years, the long-awaited baby
was also born. Gandari into a rage, she hit her stomach enlarged, then sprang
lifeless piece of hard meat, the intangible is also a baby.
"My God ...."
Gandari scream, her body limp same mood, she expects a hundred babies, but who
was born just a piece of meat. What actually has an effect on his destiny?
Dhritarashtra empress became crazier and crazier, she intends to grab the
useless piece of meat and then throw it away. Tears had fallen loose.
Suddenly Resi Abiyasa
has been present in the chamber, his voice quiet moment says, "Grace that
I give is not a falsehood, provide one hundred jar of pure oil, I'll chop it
into a hundred pieces. Pieces of meat it will be a hundred children as the
consort expected ".
'I want a girl ",
Gandhari still had one request.
"Well, I will fulfil that request," replied the sage Abiyasa, still with the attitude
of calm, very calm. He then cut the flesh into a hundred and one-piece, put
each piece into a jar of pure oil and then close it. "Wait on time until
the lid can be opened".
Gandari can not wait,
when it was finally time to unscrew the jar first, the empress returned
rejoicing. She was getting a baby boy, his name Duryodhana. However, soon after
the baby Duryudana started crying, all the forest animals to howl while also
visible sign of a natural disaster. All residents of the Kuru kingdom was
shocked, dismayed. A sign it is enough gesture, birth Duryudana will bring disaster
to the whole of the Kuru Kingdom.
With all due respect, Vidura
give advice, said, "A thousand pardon my lord, the sound of jungle animals
and a sign of natural disasters is a gesture that is not good for Duryudana
birth. Clearly written in the holy book, to save one family, throw one person.
To save a village, get rid of the family, to save the country, get rid of the
village, to save lives, release worldliness. For the good of the royal family,
the country and the whole of humanity, consider going back to raise Duryudana
at the court before bad things happen. "
"We recognize the
skills and the glory of your heart, the Prime Minister, but in this case the
voice is not going to change my mind and Gandhari to raise Duryudana as well as
a hundred other children. Everything good and bad things will happen and let it
happen ", Dhritarashtra replied words of Mahatma Vidura firmly, he had
long waited for the birth of their children, the sound of the howling of the
wild animals would not be able to change the minds of a king and queen to raise
a hundred and one baby in the palace. Though blind, he is entitled to take a
position as a king.
Another hundred babies
were issued following a hundred jar of pure oil. The only baby girl named
Duhsala. Dhritarashtra and Gandhari feeling overwhelmed with joy, they are no
longer trapped in silence, one hundred and one child had been born to enliven
this magnificent palace. Queen and King provide character education, manners,
the science of war, and the government. Overall the children should have the
opportunity to be a wise leader. However, one mistake does not happen
accidentally.
If Shangkuni not
participate Gandari to settle in this palace ....
