Read the passage carefully and answer the question given as follows: A Mother's Advice The Mahabharata describes how, when war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas became almost inevitable, Gandhari made one last appeal to her eldest son, Duryodhana: By making peace you honour your father and me, as well as your well-wishers it is the wise man in control of his senses who guards his kingdom. Greed and anger drag a man away from his profits, by defeating these two enemies a king conquers the earth ... You will happily enjoy the earth, my son, along with the wise and heroic Pandavas ... There is no good in a war, no law (dharma) and profit (artha), let alone happiness, nor is there (necessarily) victory in the end - don't set your mind on war ... Duryodhana did not listen to this advice and fought and lost the war. Why did Duryodhana not act on advice of his mother? |
Answer» SOLUTION :Because (a) He was very HAUGHTY and proud. (B) He was SURE that he will defeat the Pandavas. (C) His advisors misguided him. | |
