Q & A

Why did Raja Dhritarashtra decide to crown Duryodana despite his hesitation?

Raja Dhritarashtra reluctantly decided to crown Duryodana as the next king due to his ambition and the pressure from his advisors, particularly his brother Shakuni. His internal conflict was rooted in the desire to maintain power while also being aware that Duryodana's rule could bring disaster.

What role did Guru Kripa play during the coronation ceremony?

Guru Kripa advised Raja Dhritarashtra to delay the coronation and wait for the arrival of Bhishma, as it would be inappropriate to proceed with such an important ceremony without Bhishma's presence and approval.

How did Bhishma react to Raja Dhritarashtra’s decision to crown Duryodana?

Bhishma strongly opposed the decision and arrived just in time to stop the coronation. He questioned the legitimacy of the decision, as the throne should only be passed on to someone deserving, and emphasized that he, as the protector of Hastinapura, had the right to prevent such a move.

Why did Bhishma argue that Duryodana should not be crowned without his approval?

Bhishma argued that as the guardian of Hastinapura, it was his duty to ensure that the throne was passed on to the rightful heir. Since Yudhishthira, the eldest Pandava, was still alive, Duryodana’s coronation would be an injustice, and Bhishma felt it necessary to stop it.

What was Shakuni’s response to Bhishma’s objection regarding the coronation?

Shakuni questioned whether a king needed to seek approval for such decisions, implying that Dhritarashtra had the right to choose his successor. However, Bhishma responded firmly, asserting that he had the authority to challenge decisions that would harm the kingdom.

What significance did the Pandavas’ return have on the coronation?

The return of the Pandavas meant that Duryodana’s coronation could no longer proceed, as Yudhishthira, the rightful heir, was alive and had returned to claim his place. This marked a pivotal moment in the power struggle between the Kauravas and Pandavas.

What was Yudhishthira’s reasoning for returning to Hastinapura after the exile?

Yudhishthira explained that he returned to Hastinapura to fulfill his duties and to follow the path of dharma (righteousness), indicating that his return was motivated by a sense of responsibility and justice, rather than personal ambition.
