Om Shirdi Sai Ram.
Namaste.
Sringeri Jagadguru Speaks :
After sending the Pandavas for Vanavas (Life in Forest),Duryodhana was gripped by a wicked thought.He wanted to go with all the paraphernalia to the place where they were staying and show off,making them green with envy.
Possessed by this thought, and displaying all pomp and show,Duryodhana set out to indulge in water sport in a pond there,but was blocked by the Gandharvas (Celestial Beings) guarding it.In a bitter battle that ensued,Duryodhana was defeated and captured.
Coming to know of this,Yudhishtra,who was somewhere nearby,got Durodhana released
from the Gandharvas by Bhima and Arjuna, and advised him not to indulge in such things in future.
Durodhana felt extremely ashamed at having been saved by Yudhishtra,whom he had intended to insult.What an ignominy!
There is a moral behind this for all.Anyone attempting to disgrace innocent people will himself be disgraced.Hence,nobody should entertain such thoughts.
Namaste.
