Význam
Purport
Dhṛtarāṣṭra a Gāndhārī, otec a matka Duryodhany a jeho bratrů, byli starším strýcem a tetou Mahārāje Yudhiṣṭhira. Po bitvě na Kurukṣetře byl slavný pár, který ztratil všechny syny a vnuky, v péči Mahārāje Yudhiṣṭhira. Staří manželé trávili své dny ve veliké bolesti nad těžkou životní ztrátou a žili prakticky životem asketů. Zpráva o smrti Bhīṣmadeva, který byl Dhṛtarāṣṭrovým strýcem, byla pro krále s královnou další velkou ránou a potřebovali od Mahārāje Yudhiṣṭhira útěchu. Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira si byl vědom svojí povinnosti, a pospíchal proto ihned s Pánem Kṛṣṇou za nimi. Oba potom uklidnili truchlícího Dhṛtarāṣṭru vlídnými slovy.
Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Gāndhārī, the father and the mother of Duryodhana and his brothers, were the elder uncle and aunt of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira. After the Battle of Kurukṣetra, the celebrated couple, having lost all their sons and grandsons, were under the care of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira. They were passing their days in great agony over such a heavy loss of life and were practically living the life of ascetics. The death news of Bhīṣmadeva, uncle of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, was another great shock for the King and the Queen, and therefore they required solace from Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira. Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira was conscious of his duty, and he at once hurried to the spot with Lord Kṛṣṇa and satisfied the bereaved Dhṛtarāṣṭra with kind words, from both himself and the Lord also.
Gāndhārī, přestože žila životem věrné manželky a přívětivé matky, byla mocným asketou. Kvůli slepotě svého manžela si i ona dobrovolně zakryla oči. Povinností manželky je následovat manžela za každé situace, a Gāndhārī byla tak věrná svému manželovi, že ho následovala dokonce v jeho trvalé slepotě. Svým jednáním tedy byla velkým asketou. Kromě toho šok, který utrpěla ze smrti všech svých synů a vnuků byl příliš tvrdý než aby ho žena mohla snést, ale ona ho právě jako asketa nesla statečně. Charakter Gāndhārī, byť to byla žena, není o nic menší, než charakter Bhīṣmadeva. Oba jsou velkými postavami Mahābhāraty.
Gāndhārī was a powerful ascetic, although she was living the life of a faithful wife and a kind mother. It is said that Gāndhārī also voluntarily blindfolded her eyes because of the blindness of her husband. A wife’s duty is to follow the husband cent-percent. And Gāndhārī was so true to her husband that she followed him even in his perpetual blindness. Therefore in her actions she was a great ascetic. Besides that, the shock she suffered because of the wholesale killing of her one hundred sons and her grandsons also was certainly too much for a woman. But she suffered all this just like an ascetic. Gāndhārī, although a woman, is no less than Bhīṣmadeva in character. They are both remarkable personalities in the Mahābhārata.
