        Food and Mind

 

In the Mahabharata, we have a situation when Bhishma is on the bed of arrows and

Dharmaputra and others are around him. That is when Bhishma imparts the

knowledge about all the Dharmas – Daana Dharma, Raja Dharma, Moksha Dharma,

Stree Dharma, Bhagavat Dharma – to Dharmaputra. Speaking of Raja Dharma,

Bhishma mentions that, if a king commits an offense, the subjects should boldly

point out the offense without any fear or favor, come what may.

 

At this point, Draupadi chuckles. When Bhishma asks for the reason for her

chuckle, Draupadi says that it was funny that Bhishma mentions this, for he was

verily present in the court when Dhuschasana ill-treated her in the court of

Dridarashtra and Bhishma did not speak a word then!

 

Bhishma replied that he had been fed by Duryodhana and Dridarashtra then, and as

that blood was flowing in his body, he could not oppose them. Now, with

Arjuna’s arrows piercing Bhishma’s body, all the bad blood had flown out,

and the new blood in his body was devoid of any impurity of Adharma.
