"Ha Lakshmana! Ha Sita! Ha Lakshmana! Ha Sita!"
The mimicked voice of Rama reached the ears of Sita and Lakshmana. Sita urged Lakshmana to go and search for Rama as he might be in danger. Lakshmana was reluctant to leave her alone as he was ordered by his brother to ensure her safety in his absence. Moreover, he knew his brother was invincible. But now, his sister-in-law is commanding him to go in search of his brother. She said terrible things which went deep into his heart and unable to bear them, he left the home in search of his brother.
What kind of a person are you Oh Lakshmana? Have you no shame or self-respect asked him an inner voice as he started walking away from the ashramam. First of all, you have no claim to the throne. Then when your brother is asked to go to forest, you accompany him. He has his wife to follow him and you abandon your own wife in the palace shamelessly. What life is yours? Born to serve forever? What are you? A spine less second life? Just because you were born a bit late? When you left everything to serve your brother where you have no stakes whatsoever, did you father shed a single drop of tear for you? He came lamenting on the charriot, crying and shouting - but that was not for you Oh Lakshamana. It was for your brother. You are a third born, second life. Just born to serve. Live like this forever and ever and ever.
"The battle is over Oh Suyodhana!" shouted Bheemasena. "All your army is gone and you are all alone. Now, come and face death!" he gloated with pride.
"Take this blood soaked land and rule forever till your time ends, I don't give a damn." said the Kuru, prince with all the equanimity he could possess. "I ruled it when all my friends, family, kith and kin were with me. I lived life like a king. I was born one and will die one. Who cares for your land? I wanted war and I had it. Why else would I not give even 5 villages when you sent an emissary pleading for peace. My pride is worth a million lives and I will die with my pride intact"
What kind of a person are you Oh Suyodhana! You did everything you could so that you could keep your self-respect in tact. Your best friend had a big claim to throne. Yet when he was offered it, he knocked it away with his left leg because you mattered to him more. What else do you want in Life Oh Suyodhana! You are a true hero. Born as a king, lived life King size and died as a king.
