saanthi parvamu...Dharmarajus meloncoly

Janamejaya was told the story of mahabharatha by Vaisampayana muni.After completion of last rites to decesed warriors,pandavas stayed at the banks of Ganges for about a month along with Dhrutharashtra and others.At that time,Vyaasa,Narada,Devaludu,Sdhaanuvu,Kanvudu and other sages came to visit them.Pandavas welcomed them with open heart. Narada enquired Dharmaraju if he was happy. Dharma raju replied him in his own style. Narada!with Sree Krishnas courtesy,entire world has become mine.It is under my control. But I have lost so many of my close relations. I have lost Abhimanyu and Droupadis sons.This victory is no more a victory in my eyes.When we came to know that Karna was our elder brother,we were very sorry. We are unable to digest that truth even now.We killed him ,not knowing that he was our own brother. If all six of us were together,we could have been more happy. Dharmaraju turned towards Arjuna and told him. Arjuna!why do we need this kingdom? let us leave this kingdom and lead simple lives in another country.We killed all our relatives.It is as good as committing suicide.I do not want this power. I will handover my kingdom to you and go to the woods. You rule this land.Arjuna could not accept these words. He tried to reason with Dharmaraju.You had entered into war and won it. Now ,you are saying that you would lead a life of sage. Is it reasonable?if you feel ,you have sinned,perform aswamedha yaaga and other pious duties.Bheema also sided with Arjunas way of thinking.We have to do our duty.Then only we can wash away our sins.Nakula also told his brother that according vedas,each one has to the duty entrusted to him. So,Dharmaraju has to rule his kingdom.He advised him to do yagnas and yagas. Earlier,Manuvu and other great kings did like wise and reached heaven.Sahadeva also beseeched his brother to do like wise.
