Mayuri (wife of Duryodhana): Difference between revisions

At the time of [[Draft:Lakshmanā (Daughter of Duryodhana and Mayuri)|Lakshmanā]]'s marriage, her father [[Duryodhana]] held a [[Swayamvara]] and invited many princes. [[Samba (Krishna's son)|Samba]] heard this and wanted to marry [[Draft:Lakshmanā (Daughter of Duryodhana and Mayuri)|Lakshmanā]]. [[Duryodhana]] eventually invited him also. Lakshmanaa came with a beautiful garland in her hand and came to choose her husband, but when she saw [[Samba (Krishna's son)|Samba]] he kidnapped her from her [[Svayamvara]]. Mayuri was a caring mother for her apart from Bhanumati.  

 

Her beauty was immense for [[Duryodhana]] and so he had kidnapped her. [[Karna]] also was with [[Duryodhana]] but as he died, she and Bhanumati had commited sati and so Lakshmanaa, their daughter, too commited sati as her husband, Samba, was dead. In [[Kerala]], Mayuri or Bhanumati is given the title "Mayureshwari" for Mayuri, whereas "Bhanumateshwari" for Bhanumati and is worshipped with [[Duryodhana]]. In the [[Yakshagana]] plays, [[Duryodhana]] is played and is further referred to some extent as Kondadakuli. Her sister, Sudeshnavati was a friend of Bhanumati. Mayuri was also a friend of Bhanumati.  

She was a very beautiful girl who a played a role in Duryodhana's life. [[Karna]] and [[Shakuni]] chose her as a wife of [[Duryodhana]]. She had a love on [[Arjuna]] but for her father's wish, she didn't marry him and married Duryodhan, the main antagonist of the hindu epic [[Mahabharata]]. Sometimes, Duryodhana used to get angry on Bhanumati but used to love his both wives dearly. Mayuri remained silent after the death of Duryodhana, her spouse. But, she and Bhanumati cursed [[Bhima]] for killing their husband. She was very concern about him till his death. Mayuri, still didn't forget about his memories when Duryodhana was dead peacefully. Mayuri and Bhanumati's maids told them about the death of their husband, which was shocking for them. [[Draupadi]] consoled [[Gandhari]] when Duryodhana died.

Because of this problem, Duryodhana's wife Mayuri suffered and even Bhanumati. [[Kunti]] consoles them. Bhanumati and Mayuri still think for [[Duryodhana]], the love of their life. She was a heart for him (Duryodhana), she had immense and more love for him, some folktales describe that Bhanumati, without the recongize for her husband, married [[Arjuna]] and became his wife but Mayuri also fell for him but did not marry him. Some folklores also describe Bhanumati, did not marry [[Arjuna]] as she was concerned for his death.
