Chapter 87 87. The Terror Of Rishi Durvasa
"Me? Do you not know the great Rishi (Sage)?"
Surya could not able to understand how come Durvasa is not seen through his simple disguise, Others might not be able to see through it but Durvasa is like others, He is divine and part of Supreme just like him, Surya.
And not only that, The karma and Yogic power of Durvasa is also one of a kind. There is a reason why he can curse anyone he wants on will, So it's illogical for someone like Durvasa not to see through his disguise.
Surya, even though that Durvasa is playing games with him, Just to see if he himself fesses up with his crime, A chance to come clean before Durvasa decides what punishment to him.
"I don't know who you are that's why I asked in the first place or do you take me as a fool to ask stupid questions? Jai Shiv Shabhu."
Durvasa opened his eyes wide open in anger and roared at Surya, He was not able to see through the disguise of Surya thanks to the that Heaven Defying luck working in the dark.
So when asked by Surya, He really felt that this sage in front of him insulting him, He said is very easy to get angry, Even certain tiny things can provoke his anger and right now the same person who is famous for giving terrible curses is now angry at Surya.
Durvasa shook his Rudraksha beads chain in his hand and spoke words to praise his lord Shiva, His devotion towards his lord is also the reason behind the power of his Karma and power.
"Pardon me for my insolence Great Sage, I am…I am Aditya (Son Of Aditi), And those two are my wives, Sandhya and Chhaya."
"Pranam (Greeting) Rishi Durvasa."
"Pranam (Greeting) Rishi Durvasa."
Suraya felt cold all over his body facing the rising anger of Rishi Durvasa, He was sure if it goes on any longer he surely will be cursed here by him, There is not even a slight doubt about it in his mind.
So he did not waste a time, He quickly folded his hand and pleaded for forgiveness, As Surya knows it's easy to anger Rishi Durvasa but it's also easy to please him, Hence he was quick on.action.
Both Sandhya and Chhaya didn't need to tell separately what to do as they understood the threat of the current affairs of it going any longer, They quickly came in front of Durvasa and folded their hands greeting him respectively.
"Hum, You are forgiven, Also Putri (Daughter) Sada Saubhagyavati Bhava (Always be lucky as married women)"
Durvasa as predicted quickly claimed down once Surya asked for forgiveness, He looked at both Sandhay and Chhaya and blessed them with the best fortune women can ask for in this period.
After all, This is the period of time when single women are not safe. Not only in society but there is an outside actual threat present for those women who don't have anyone they can rely upon.
Married women on the other hand are looked at respectfully by society and there are their husbands who can fight the world for their protection. A woman that too a widow at this time is though not bad as a curse but comes close to it.
Though by Dharma is written in text, a widow also has the same rights when she is married and can even marry someone else if her husband is no more but that does not look highly acceptable in human society.
Other species do follow these rules, but even then it's better to have your husband with you then to love without him.
"Thank you, Sage."
Surya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the words, He decided to stay out of this conversation, Rishi Durvasa come here to bless Suyodhana, After that he surely will go away and he didn't have to worry about it.
Or at least Surya thinks this would happen but fate as he said before is quite a tricky thing especially when Niyati is being changed because of certain someone's luck.
"Putri (Daughter), Show me where is your son, Who is blessed by Lord Shiva himself."
After the conversion, Durvasa put his attention on the thing he come here for, To bless the boy who bestowed fortune by the destroyer himself.
"Rishi Durvasa, He is my son, Duryodhana, The name he gave to himself."
Gandhari who was standing aside not wanting to interject between the talk of two sages before spoke hurriedly when asked by Rishi Durvasa, She quickly beckoned Duryodhana to come to her and get this rare blessing from Durvasa.
"Huh, Putri, why did you change his name from Suyodhana (Good in arms) to Duryodhana (Bad In arms)? It is an insult to the person who was born with the boon of Mahadeva and then now this boy is also blessed by another blessing from Destroyer."
Durvasa was happy to meet Duryodhana but then he heard his name, He clearly remembered the name of Gandhari's eldest was Suyodhana, not Duryodhana, As Duryodhana name is an insult to him.
So he asked in anger not understanding why someone who born with the boon of Lord Shiva and now the one who also gotten the blessing bestowed by the same deity named like this.
In his eyes this is not an insult to only Durydohana but Lord Shiva himself, Thinking of this anger comes down in his eyes as they turn red waiting for to hear the answer before he decided what to do.
The only reason he is even able to hold himself back from cursing is that he knows how big of a devotee Gandhari is to Lord Shiva, She definitely should have a valid reason for this name but his patience was running thin.
Everyone was frozen in fear not able to utter any words, Even Gandhari who was not afraid of anyone this time defected by her physical instincts making her unable to speak anything.
This when fallen into the eyes of Durvasa looks like the guilty party didn't have any reasonable excuse for this insulting name, He decided to curse Duryodhana for this insult that this blessing will fail when Duryodhana needed him the most.
This is a fate, Niyati trying to correct itself unfortunately the cause of changes is also present in this assembly.
"Tell me why the name Duryodhana is insulting, Sage Durvasa."
Karna quickly got up from his seat feeling that something bad was going to happen. He questioned Durvasa with respect in his tone but did not even speak of fear.
Seeing Karna stand up, The heart of Surya nearly jumped out of his mouth as both Sandhya and Chhaya looked anxiously at him.
Gandhari and Shakuni could not decide how to react as they didn't want Karna to face Durvasa as they know how big a mouth Karna has, If he said something to anger Durvasa, He surely will be cursed but they did not let him speak Duryodhana will be cursed, They fallen in dilemma.
"INSOLENCE!!! Don't you see how it is insulting Lord Shiva? Are you a fool or took me as one?"
As everyone feared, Angre of Durvasa shifted from Duryodhana to Karna but unlike them Karna was just glad that he can gain the attention of Durvasa on him.
