Durna's heartache is avenged
In general, people think he has a bad character, a destroyer of peace and a slanderer, but he is a sage with the title Danghyang Dwija Wirpa. This means that he is so sublime that he is almost at the level of a god. His attitude is wise, intelligent but humble despite his high knowledge. He is also a scholar of war science and has Sir Weda Danur Weda, namely a book on the science of love and the science of using weapons and war strategies.
His disabled body began when he visited his former close friend Sucitra, who at that time had become king of the Pancala country named Drupada. In the past, when the two of them were still students of Resi Baratwadya, they were very friendly, eating a plate together and drinking a bowl together. Even when Sucitra returned to his country, he promised to give some of the country's land to Dorna. Therefore, it is hoped that when he meets Sucitra, he will definitely be greeted with great hospitality so that it will be a very beautiful nostalgic meeting reminiscing about the past. But what happened, what was expected was different and what was experienced. As soon as he entered the palace, he greeted his friend with words full of longing, another thing was Drupada's behavior which was shown to be cold, gloomy and said bluntly: "Hey, who are you... dare to admit that you are my best friend. Since when have I been friends with you? It is not possible for a great king like me to be friends with a beggar like you. Cisss, homeless people don't know themselves," he said with a frown. Dorna was shocked, not expecting to be greeted with hurtful attitudes and words. But he still tried to remind him, only his words were different from before: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir. Servants are indeed people from the village who don't know any manners. The servant's attitude was because I thought that you were still the same master as before when we were studying together and, ..." "Enough," snapped Drupada, ending Dorna's conversation. "That's a confession that will never happen and was only made up so that I would admit that you are really my friend. "I have studied science, but I have never studied with someone as lowly as you," he explained.
Next, Drupada accused Dorna of deliberately wanting to embarrass him in front of the Bopati orderlies who were present at the time. Meanwhile, Patih Gandamanah, the king's body guard who had been paying attention to Dorna's behavior, had violated politeness and became furious. No wonder the young priest was dragged out of the palace and beaten so badly that he was unconscious, then thrown into the middle of the wilderness. As a result of the severe abuse, his body became disfigured, his nose was crooked, his eyes were narrow, his hands had been twisted and his bones were broken. In a damaged body, he forced himself to walk while feeling the pain physically and mentally. Finally he arrived in a country that was none other than the country of Astinapura. Good luck awaits thanks to his high knowledge. He was appointed by Arya Bisma as a professor in the department of war science using weapons and war strategy. Meanwhile, the students consisted of the royal family, namely the Kurawa and Pandawa. Over the years, he has cultivated the two groups of Barata descendants and given birth to men with a warrior spirit. Even so, Drupada's wound became an unforgettable obsession. The proverb says that wounds on the body can still be healed, wounds on the heart are difficult to remove. He wanted to retaliate but without having to physically harm that person. He just wanted to embarrass his friend, like he had once been embarrassed in front of the Bopati Pancala Ministers. Therefore he wanted to capture Drupada but not by his own hands, but by his disciples. For this reason, he had to improve his students' war knowledge to face the Pancala army.
So one day he called his students to try out their skills in using arrow weapons. The target was a bird perched on a tree branch. The way to regulate it fairly starts from Yudhistira. Before being allowed to remove the weapon, the teacher asked first: "You have to watch out for the bird, take a look, apart from the bird, what do you see according to your creation?" Yudhistira: "Apart from the bird, I saw a tree trunk, the forms of the teacher and my four brothers." The sage repeated the same question and was answered with the same answer. Rishi was irritated by hearing the same answers, then he said: "That's it, don't let go of the jemparing, it won't hit, let's move aside." he said curtly. It was Duryudana's turn, the teacher asked the same question which was answered by Duryudana: "Apart from birds, I saw lots of leaves piled up, then branches and twigs, then euu, then euuu….” “Already, already, just as stupid, let's step aside.” he said annoyed. Thus the Kuawa and the Pandavas had their turn, but none of the answers satisfied the teacher. Finally it was Arjuna's turn and was asked: "What do you see there?" "Birds," answered Arjuna. "Apart from birds, what else have you seen?" “I saw nothing but the body of the bird,” he answered. Suddenly the sage's face lit up, but he asked again: "Try to see what color the fur is and name the colors one by one." But Arjuna only answered: "The only thing visible is the head." Immediately the teacher ordered: "Release the arrow." And the arrow flew with its flute sound right on target until the bird fell to the earth, greeted by cheers from the students as a sign of joy at Arjuna's success. Thus, in front of his students, he hoped that he would catch Drupada unharmed. Duryudana, the leader of the Kurawa group, pretended to be the student who loved the teacher the most and said: "Teacher, the wound in your heart is the wound in my heart." That's why I'm the one who will drag the bastard Drupada in front of you," he said proudly. So without asking for permission first, he set out with the Kurawa group towards the country of Pancala. But what was the result, they just returned empty handed and even beaten up by the Pancala soldiers and went straight back to their dorms because they were ashamed to show their faces. It was the Pandavas' turn to ask for permission to capture Drupada. Dorna ordered: "My son Pandawa, even though my heart hurts, catch him without hurting him. Reward evil with justice and reward goodness with goodness, that's it." the message.
The Pandavas departed for Pancala. After a long time, Arjuna managed to capture Drupada in one piece and brought him before Dorna. Drupada sat pensive and embarrassed, not daring to meet Dorna's eyes. He had felt sick before he was abused. He thought back to when Dorna came to see him but was not acknowledged, even insulted and he became a prisoner to receive retribution, perhaps even losing his life. He was surprised that Dorna greeted: "Welcome, your majesty, the great king of the Pancala country. I apologize for not being able to receive you properly. You know, I'm just a humble, worthless beggar." he said imitating Drupada's insulting words to him in the past. "Oh, Brother Dorna, I accept that I was wrong to make you physically and mentally ill. Still at that time, you didn't respect me as king. "Brother still equates me as an ordinary person shouting my name under the glare of dozens of eyes of civil servants and government ministers, so I feel humiliated," Drupada tried to give an excuse. Dorna bowed his head when he heard the correct reason and did not violate it. But then he answered: "I feel guilty for not knowing good manners and thus embarrassing your majesty in front of the Bpati ministers, even though at that time I apologized, it didn't mean the slightest thing to your majesty. In fact, more than that, your majesty has the heart to let me be dragged and abused by your bodyguards. "Even though we were friends like brothers and sisters," he said in a sad tone. "Well, I was guilty, now it's up to me to die, my life is in your hands," he said resignedly. “Don't compare yourself to a servant. Because after all, Your Majesty was a former close friend of mine when they were both students of the sage Baratwaja. "That's even if your majesty still admits that we were former close friends," he said. "Then what do you mean, now that I have become your prisoner," he asked. "I will collect the promise that you made when you were in college, that you will bestow half of the land from the Pancalareja kingdom to me. "That's what you have to do, but right now," he said in a serious tone. Immediately the voices of many people were heard expressing their satisfaction with Dorna's decision. Meanwhile, others said that Drupada was lucky not to be persecuted like Dorna previously experienced. Hearing that curse, Drupada, who felt very proud, felt very ashamed. In his heart he said, it turned out that Dorna was more cruel than expected. Let him not be hurt but humiliated in front of the crowd, his majesty will be destroyed. Not to mention that he had to hand over some of the government's land, all of which could not be assessed with property. In his heart he promised to return his pain to Dorna. That's how lust is like air has no edge, so there is no end to grudges against each other.
