It is long due.Sree Krishna directed Arjuna to organise and look after the crowning celebrations.Dharmaraju was also happy.Sree Krishna and Sathyaki sat in front of Dharmarju. Bheema and Arjuna sat besides Dharmaraju.

He requested Sree Krishna and Sathyaki to stay with Arjuna. Like this,they were living happily.

Dharmaraju decides to seek Bheeshmas advice

Vyaasa told Dharmaraju that Bheeshma was equal to Bruhaspathi in knowledge.He is respected even by Indra and other deities.He is a straight forward person.You go to him and seek his help. He would help you in coming out of this grief. He would also tell you about many right things that should be observed and implimented.Dharmaraju was ashamed to go to him because he killed by not playing fair in war.Sree Krishna also convinced Dharmaraju that Bheeshma was a great soul and he would already have forgiven him.He would definitely help him if Dharmaraju asked him. Sree Krishna advised him to first go to the city.Then he should go and meet Bheeshma leisurely.Vyaasa also advised him similarly.Dharmaraju saluted them and they blessed him and left for their respective places.Dharmaraju left to Hasthinapura.Bheema handled the chariot. Arjuna held white umbrella for his elder brother.Nakula and Sahadeva fanned him .Gaandhaari and Dhrutharashtra alighted their chariots and started to the city.Sree Krishna and Sathyaki also went along with Dharmaraju.Civilians welcomed Dharmaraju with sacred flowers,pearls and akshathas.THey praised the brothers profusely.Dharma raju reached kings palace along with Dhoumyudu,Dhrutharashtrudu and other elders.He performed poojas to Grama devathas.He donated profusely to Brahmins.

Droupadis advice to Dharmaraju

Dharmaraju was silent .He did not respond to his brothers advice.Then Droupadi went near him and requested to hear her views also.Dharmaraju gave his consent for her to speak out her mind.O King!Your brothers have undergone many hardships till now. please console them.During the year when they lived underground ,they faced many problems.At that time you gave them hope that after that period they would fight with Duryodhana and win the war. Then they could live happily.But now after winning the war,you are saying that again you would go to the woods and live the life of sages.Do you not think that would hurt your brothers feelings.Kings should never think below their dignity.Kings are supposed to rule country.King is a god in the guise of a man.Those who belittled the king got themselves smashed in the war.Kouravas humiliated and ill treated you.So,they lost their lives. If you touch fire,it would burn you,it does not matter whether you know the implications of it or not.Why do you feel sorry for their death.They were sinners,so you killed them.Now,it is your dutu to rule the nation and look after their welfare.Arjuna and Bheema suggested the same to Dharmaraju. Arjuna told him similar incidents in the life of Janaka,when his wife advised him.A sage named Devasdhaanudualso advised him similarly.Veda vyaasa also tried to make Dharmaraju see reason in their advice.Vyaasa told him the story of Sudyumna.He explained the dialogues of a king,named Sena jiththu.He also told him the dialogues between Asmaka and Janaka.Sree Krishna told him the story of Shodasa king and Parvatha and Naradas dialogue.Narada explained Suvarnashteevi story. Again ,Vyaasa intervened and told him about right and wrong.Still,Dharmaraju was not convinced. Then,Vyaasa told himto go to Bheeshma and learn about duties,responsibilities and right and wrong.Narada laso felt happy for this suggestion of Vyaasa.

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.

performing last rites to the dead warriors

Dhrutharashtra told Dharmaraju to see that last rites are performed to all the warriors ,whether they had relatives or not.Dharmaraju replied him that he would look into the matter of cremating and performing last rites to all the warriors.THEY themselves had to do it. He called Dhoumyudu,Vidurudu, Sanjaya, and Yuyuthsuduand told them to cremate everyone whether had relatives or not,accordingly according to the rules and regulations stipulated.He allocated this work to appropriate candidates remaining there. Dhoumyudu and others took the help of Brahmins to do that and at that time ,chanting of Rugveda,Yajurveda and SAAMAGAANA REVERBERATED THE ENTIRE AREA. Women wept for the loss of their near and dear.Dharmaraju performed last rites kourava warriors after taking bath in Ganges along with Dhrutharashtra.Then Kunthee devi went to Dharma raju andtold every one that Karna was her son and not Radhas son.He was her first born son to God Sun.She told Dharmaraju to perform last rites to Karna also.Pandavas were shocked at the news. They wept for their lost brother. Dharmaraju expressed his grief like this. Mother!because Karna was his friend,Duryodhana dared to fight with Bheema and Arjuna.Because Karna was Duryodhanas right hand,Poundra,Vaideha and other kings became Duryodhanas Saamantha kings.A ll our armies were afraid of Karna only.All the time,we were afraid of Karna only.Why did you deliver Karna first?Death of Karna is more painful to me than the deaths of Abhimanyu,Ghatothkacha,and death of Droupadi sons.If we had known that he was our elder brother,we would not have got into war with Kouravas.With a heavy heart,he performed last rites to his elder brother.Gaandhaaree and Dhrutharashtra also attended the procedures.Dharma raju called for Karnas family members and repsectfully treated them.He gave many donations in his name.

Gaandhaari curses Sree Krishna

Gaandhaari put forth her doubt before Sree Krishna.Sree Krishna!everyone knows that Bheeshma,Drona,Karna,Bhoorisravudu,Aswathdhaama,Krupaachaaryudu,Saindhavudu,Duryodhana,and Kruthavarma are great warriors.No one can correctly assess their caliber.Even deities can not defeat them.But you,along with your brother,Sathyaki,and Pandavas defeated them.In the process,no harm was done to you.It ,surely,is a miracle. Seeing her people without life,her anger increased ten fold.She accused Sree Krishna like this.Krishna!you could not stop the rivalry between Pandavas and Kouravas.You are such a capable man that you can do anything and everything.Then,why did you keep quiet and let kouravas destroy.You will bear the fruit of this act.I am cursing you.You made cousins fight among themselves and die. So,similarly your people will also fight among themselves and slef destroy themselves.Afetr thirty six years,your dynasty will also come to an end.Even you will die,without anyone to weep for your death ,in a most despicable way.Today,we are all weeping for our sons,husbands and brothers. Similarly,your women would also weep for their relatives death. Sree Krishna did not get angry at her words. He reminded her that earlier one sage cursed them similarly. So,that is definitely going to happen.What have you gained by cursing me like this?Pandavas were afraid at this turn of events. But Sreev Krishna admonished her in his own way.Gaandhaari!get up. we have to attend to last rites of the dead warriors.Do you not know the atrocities your son did?You,Bheeshma,Drona,Baahlikud and myself could not set him right.That was the sole reason why this disaster has occured.Why are you talking to me like this,when your mistake is also there?Control your self.Women in kshathriyas families expect their husband and children to be warriors.Why are you repenting now? Gaandhaari was dumbstruck at this reply of Sree Krishna.Then Dhrutharashtra asked Dharmaraju the details of the dead warriors. Then Dharmaraju replied.Seventy six crores and twenty warriors and twenty four thousand three hundred civilians died in this war. But every one would go to heaven,in whatever fashion they died.

Gaandhaari weeps for the death of kuru warriors

Gaandhaari called Sree krishna to her side and wept.she started speaking to KRishna.Sree krishna ! Look at my daughters in law.our foes would be happy these women weeping for their departed husbands.though Salya,Drupada,Karna,Drona,Bheeshma,and Abhimanyu are dead,their aura has not left their faces.because they were killed by celestial weapons,their bodies have not decomposed. But,still foxes and crows are eating their bodies.krishna! All the credit for this turn events goes to you .what sin should I  have committed to see them dead,now? I could not see them when they were alive.

Gaandhaari was weeping and roaming the war field. She came across the dead body of Duryodhana.She fainted seeing it.her aides attended to her and she came to her senses.she fell on his body and wept in heart wrenching fashion.More than her sons death,sorrow of her daughter in law is affecting her more.Her daughters in law lost both their husbands and sons at the same time.sree Krishna! Is there an end to their sorrow?we have lost our sons and grand sons.who is going to console us?This is the ultimate in suffering.Krishna! Are you seeing thed ead bodies of my other sons ,who were killed in the hands of Bheema?See their wives going to their husbands and weeping over their bodies.I am unable to control myself.How should the parents of those hundred sons feel?They ,sure,would have done immense sin to see this day.Krishna!  Do you see dussaasana?Was it right for Bheemato drink his blood,breaking open his heart?bheema behaved in a grotesque manner.

Did you see abhimanyu?fighting an unfair battle,where many warriors attacked him mercilessly,he seems tired and sleeping. he does not look like a dead one. His wife,Uththara is so young .how could she tolerate the death of her husband.Did you hear her wailing for her husband.See! How pathetically karna is lying on the ground ,fighting alosing battle against Arjuna.Karna is a great warrior,couragious man,and a helping man. he was like an armour to Duryodhana and never feared for his life. he was bent always in protecting his mentor,duryodhana.Are you seeing his wife and mother of Vrushasena wailing for her husband and son.

though dead,Baahlikudu is appearing as good as alive.dussala is searching for the head of her husband .how should i feel seeing my only daughter searching for the dead body of her husband?salya is lyong on the ground with his face down. his mother and wives are weeping for him.did you see Bhagadaththa? YOu instigated Arjuna to kill him.even Bheeshma,super warrior is also lying on the ground.He might have been partial towards pandavas,but he fought for kurus.

Bheeshma rejected kingdom and took to being as trict bachelor for the sake of his father.a

do you the plight of Dronaachaarya. do you notice the way,Dhrushtadyumna has beheaded him?fate has no mercy towards any one.No one can do anything to set it right.

krupaachaaryas sister,Krupaa is weeping for her husband,Dronas death. dronas disciples ar reciting vedmanthras.She too is reciting Saamavedam along with dronas disciples.who is going yo teach archery now? do you see Sakuni,who had been killed by Sahadeva?sakuni is full of crookednessa nd cruelty. he became duryodhanas right hand telling him that he would do goog. but in actual fact, brought the down fall of kuru vamsa.He is the sole reason for duryodhanas death. he too died a menial death.He is the root cause behind brothers rivalry.
