Sex

“O Grandisre” Can I ask you an irritable question. During sexual intercourse, who enjoys much, either male or female.?” asked Dharmaja.

(In fact, this quetion is irrelevant because Bhishma remained unmarried throughout his life. How can he answer this question? But Bhishma appeared to have got over this situation by narratring another story.)

“O Dharmaja! In the past, there was a king called Bhangaswa. He was issueless. He performed yajna without the permission of Indra, which was a prerequisite. As a result of yajna, Bringaswa begot one hundred sons. He was happy. But Indra bore grudge upon Bhringasva for performing Yajna without his permission.

One day Bhringasva went into forest for hunting. He lost his way due to the influence of Indra. Bhringasva was thirsty. He drank water in a nearby pond. Strangely, he was transformed into a lady. He was very much annoyed for this unwanted ladyhood. “How can I go back to city as a lady ? What my citizens, my wife and children think about me? On the other hand, I cannot even remain in this forest.” thought Bhringasva.

At last he went back to the city and called for a metting of his ministers and discussed the matter at length. On their advice, he got his elder son enthroned as King of his Kingdom. Bhringasva, in lady form, went back to forests. He was living in the forest along with other sages and saints.

One young saint fell in love with Bhringasva and married her and begot 100 sons. Bhringasva took his hundred sons and went back to his kingdom and told his former sons about his marriage and begetting hundred sons. All the two hundred sons of Bhringasva were living happily, enjoying royal pleasures.

Devendra could not tolerate this situation. He wanted to create rifts between the sons of Bhringasva. Devendra approached the former sons of Bhringasva and spoiled their minds and created ill feelings between them. All the two hundred sons quarrelled with each other and died. Bhringasva was lamenting for the death of all his sons. Indra, in disguise, appeared before him.

“O Bhringasva! what happened? why are you weeping?” asked Indra. Bhringasva told Indra right from his going to forest for hunting till all his sons died by quarrelling with each other.

Then Indra appeared in his original form. “You performed Yajna without my permission. Hence all these troubles are created by me.” said Indra.

“O Indra! By mistake, I did not obtain your permission for performing Yajna. But you are the chief of divine bodies. Is it proper on your part to behave like this? Kindly excuse me and save me.” prayed Bhringasva.

“O King! I can bring back some of your sons alive. Choose among your sons, either your sons begot by you while you were Bhringasva or your sons begot by you while you were lady.” asked Indra.

“O Indra! Kindly make my sons, begot by me while I was a lady, alive.

Indra was astonished. “Why dont you choose your former sons ? Are they not your sons? ” asked Indra.

“Yes they are also my sons, but begot by me while I was male. But I am a mother to my later sons. Mother’s love is greater than fatherly affection.” said Bhringasva.

Indra was very much satisfied with his reply. “O Bhringasva! I give life to all your two hundred sons. Besides that, I restore your manhood also. You are no more a female.” said Indra.

“No Indra! I prefer to remain as a female than male.” said Bhringasva.
“What is this Bhringasva! originally you are a male. Why you prefer to remain as female?” asked Indra.

Feeling shy, Bhringasva said: “Indra! you are a male. You do not know the mind of female. Ladies derive more pleasure in sexual intercourse than males. I dont want to be deprived of that sexual pleasure. Hence I prefer to remain as female.” said Bhringasva.

Devendra smiled and blessed Bhringasva as a female.

“O Dharmaja! you got an answer to your question” said Bhishma.

Shakuni vs Bhishma

Cow

 Dharmaja! now I tell you about Godaana. (giving Cow as charity).

Cows are greater than saints. Cows give us milk, curd, ghee which are quite essential for Yajnas. There is nothing unuseful in cow. Its skin, urine, shit, are all pure. Cow and Brahmin are equivals. Therefore, Godaana yileds liberation. Cow milk is equivalent to Amrutha. If Godaana is performed, it is equivalent to Amrutha Daana.

But Godana shall be made to those who are fit to receive. Cows are equivalent to our lives. Giving away cows means giving away our life. But Godan shall be made only to the fittest. If charities are made to cruel people and non-believers of God, he suffers eternal agony. Before making Godaan, one has to enquire thoroughly about the eligibility of person who receives it.

O Dharmaja! only healthy and milching cows shall be given in Godaan. Godaan is the only way for liberation.

O Dharmaja! in a nutshell, I can say that Bhoodaana, Vidyaa daanaa and Godaanaa are best of all. If a teacher teaches his student well, it amounts to making Bhoodaana. Godaana also is equivalent to Bhoodaana.

Solar Vs Lunar Calender

Vaisampayana said, 'King Duryodhana then, on the field of battle said unto Bhishma, and unto Drona--that tiger among warriors, and unto Kripa--that mighty car-warrior, these words, 'Both myself and Kama had said this unto the preceptors 1 I refer to the subject again, for I am not satisfied with having said it once. Even this was the pledge of the sons of Pandu that if defeated (at dice) they would reside to our knowledge in countries and woods for twelve years, and one more year unknown to us. That thirteenth year, instead of being over, is yet running. Vibhatsu, therefore, who is still to live undiscovered hath appeared before us. And if Vibhatsu hath come before the term of exile is at end, the Pandavas shall have to pass another twelve years in the woods. Whether it is due to forgetfulness (on their part) induced by desire of dominion, or whether it is a mistake of ours, it behoveth

Bhishma to calculate the shortness or excess (of the promised period). When an object of desire may or may not be attained, a doubt necessarily attaches to one of the alternatives, and what is decided in one way often ends differently. 

Meaning

1. According to Solar Calender the Time of Exile of Pandavas was Not Over 
2. According to Lunar Calender the Time of Exile of Pandavas was Over

Best deed enunciated in Sastras and Vedas

kinds of ladies

“O grandsire! you told me about several things. But you never told me about ladies and their behaviour.” asked Dharmaja.

“O Dharmaja! in this connection, I tell you about conversation between Kaikeyee and Sandilya. Kekaya Princess once asked Sandili: “O Sandili! how could you come and live in Deva Loka?”

Sandili replied thus: “O Kekaya Princess! I served my father in law and mother in law without disregarding their advices. I performed divine worship, Pitara ceremonies, and worshipping guests regularly. I never stood at the main entrance. I never laughed loudly. I offered food to students and learned. On arrival of my husband, I served him with great care. I brought up my children as good and intelligent.

I like what my husband likes. I never abuse anybody inspite of their rude behaviour towards me. Whenever my husband is out of station, I never wear flowers, good clothes and never eat tasty food. I never waste food. I regarded all my relatives equally. I looked after the cows in my house. I never tease my husband with household affairs. I take care about Agnihotra daily. I never reveal my family secrets to neighbours. While I was pregnant, I took nourishing food instead of tasty food. Hence I attained divine loka.” said Sandili.

I hope your doubts are cleared.” said Bhishma.

Hence, Dharmaja! there are several kinds of ladies. There may be good and bad. There are several virtuous ladies who worship their husbands more than God. Due to their existence only, this earth is rotating in a disciplined way. There is no doubt that husband gets name and fame due to the virtuousness of his wife.” said Bhishma.
