Duryodhan's feeling of pride

                            Duryodhan's feeling of pride
Duryodhan had defeated Pandavas cheatingly in game of dice. Now , as the agreement Pandavas has to leave to forest. Likewise, they left. Duryodhan now crowned prince of kingdom. He had the urge to show Pandavas that now he is the prince and all of his luxury. So, he asked his uncle Shakuni about what to do for this? Shakuni told a plan.
Likewise, Duryodhan found out where Pandavas are camping. He went to that place with all his brothers and army. But by seeing the place where Pandavas are camping, he got jealous. Out of jealousy , he ordered his soldiers to spoil the surroundings which is beautiful.
Then by seeing that, a gandharva king called Chitrasena came to the place. He asked the Kouravas since it is his place, he will not allow them to spoil it. But Kouravas didnt pay attention. So, chitrasena had a fight with Duryodhan. In the fight, he defeated Duryodhan . He was dragging him as to humiliate him. Then Kouravas were shouting for help.
Their cry was heard by Yudhistira , the eldest of Pandavas. He asked his brother Bhima to help Kouravas. But Bhima said the enimies are learning a good lesson. He will not go to help them. Then Yudhistira asks his another brother Arjuna to help Kouravas . Arjuna agreed and left to help Kouravas. Behind him , even Bhima went to assist Arjuna.
By seeing Arjuna and Bhima , Chitrasena stopped and asked for their arrival. Then Arjuna told Kouravas are his brothers and asked Chitrasena to leave them. As Chitrasena is Pandavas friend, he agrees and left the Kouravas. Duryodhan was full of shame as he went to ridicule Pandavas for their present condition. But because of them, he is now free.

  1. Yes, correct, but he never felt grateful to pandavas - on the contrary, even this angered him.
    So, his paapada-koda (tumbler) filled to brim and at the end he died a wretched death
