He,son of Surya.
She,quick witted and eager,
He,level headed and noble.
They seemed a perfect match until Maya and pride tore them apart.
In a court full of noblemen, she called him the son of a charioteer and refused his marriage proposal.
It burnt him, he hated her.
But their souls were always meant to be one.
Prithvi exploited her, it shamed her , he watched in silence.
Prithvi humiliated him, she never revolted.
She was wife to 5 Pandavas and he a dear Kaurava friend .
It was Destiny's cruel move ,her soul yearned for him ,and his soul for her.
These 2 souls could never be one , the world had torn them apart.
All his life, he seeked her tender care and she yearned for his companionship. But this wasn't possible , they were minions at the hand of Destiny.
In Kurukshetra, the battle was fierce.
All she wanted was his safety.
In retrospect she often wondered, he would never share her with another man, he would never allow her to be stripped off her clothes and no he would never have let her be someone's maid.
He tried hard to conceal his love for her,which showed in his eyes.
On Prithvi their love was immoral,illegal and impossible . Yet , in Swarga their souls reunited. What wasn't possible on Prithvi where aham ,maya,lobh
,eersha,rosh bind us , was possible in Swarga where Draupadi and Krana were one. Their love was is and will be immortal .
Its nice..
ReplyDeletehowever, is this mythologically true?
Mostly mythical , but you can never rule out possibilities .
ReplyDeleteOur epics come from many regions and down many generations.
Things have been added and subtracted, many stories have been lost and many created.
We cannot rule out the possibility of this being the truth, my writing however is inspired by Chitra Banerjee's Palace of Illusions.
Thankyou for your interest .
Really glad.
