Dr.Nagavalli Nagaraj & Prof.A.R.Mitra-Bheeshma rebukes Shishupala-Draws parallels with Ravana #sqres #kumaravyasa #kumaravyasabharata
In Kumaravyasa Bharata, the character of Shishupala, the king of Chedi, is known for his intense animosity towards Krishna. One of the most dramatic scenes involving Shishupala occurs during Yudhishthira's Rajasuya Yaga, when Shishupala disrupts the proceedings and insults Krishna.
Bheeshma's Response to Shishupala: Bheeshma, the grand patriarch of the Kuru dynasty, does not tolerate Shishupala's disrespect towards Krishna. Bheeshma, known for his wisdom and adherence to dharma, lambasts Shishupala for his insolence. He reminds Shishupala of his past transgressions and the limits of his forbearance.
In his rebuke, Bheeshma might draw parallels between Shishupala and Ravana, the demon king of Lanka from the Ramayana. By quoting Ravana, Bheeshma highlights the arrogance and downfall of those who defy righteousness and disrespect the divine.
Bheeshma’s chastisement of Shishupala underscores the importance of humility, respect for divinity, and adherence to dharma. This episode culminates in Krishna eventually using his Sudarshana Chakra to behead Shishupala, ending his reign of arrogance and establishing dharma.
Kumaravyasa's retelling captures the dramatic tension and moral lessons inherent in these interactions, providing a rich tapestry of narrative and ethical guidance.
