Destined (Mahabharat)

Chapter 37:

Blind with eyes are no shameful but blind with mind and heart are the biggest enemies of men.

------------------

The other kings of duryodhan faction also get up from there seats and pick up there respective weapons.

The kauravas with Karn in the front and opposite are the four pandavas brothers. Yudhishthira was still trying his best to convince them.

After some querall, the kings and kauravas with duryodhan agreed and sit back to there seat.

Then Yudhishthira completed the yagaya with the help of Vasudeva and Vyas.

After the completion of the yagaya all the other kings left for there respective cities and kingdom. But the duryodhan and Gandharraj shakuni were left behind to roam in the grand palace of Indraprastha.

Duryodhana, continued to dwell in that, assembly house (of the Pandavas).

And with Sakuni, the Kuru prince slowly examined the whole of that mansion, and the Kuru prince beheld in it many celestial designs, which he had never seen before in the city called after the elephant (Hastinapore).

And one day king Duryodhana in going round that mansion came upon a crystal surface.

The clear cut of the surface are like diamonds. Clean and refreshing. Looking down you can clearly see the ripples of water. The petals of Rose's above the water. The place was open and the rays of sun penetrated through the big gold carved windows.

Looking from the above it was impossible to see the crystal glass. And due to lightning the striking images are not clearly visible.

Duryodhan found the crystal pond very assuming. From ignorance, mistaking it for a pool of water, drew up his clothes.

He slowly take a step above the crystal pond thinking that his legs were wet with water but he found nothing but sold surface under his feet. He took another step and became dumbfounded.

His face become a little red due to embarrassment.

He turn around and wandered again.

This time he found a lake of crystal water adorned with lotuses of crystal petals for land. This time the beautiful and calm water was mistaken as land by duryodhan.
Fell into it with all his clothes on.

The passing pandavas saw this scene. 

Beholding Duryodhana fallen into the lake, the mighty Bhima laughed aloud as also the menials of the palace. And the servants, at the command of the king, soon brought him dry and handsome clothes.

Beholding the plight of Duryodhana, the mighty Bhima and Arjuna and both the twins—all laughed aloud.
Being unused to putting up with insults, Duryodhana could not bear that laugh of theirs.

Concealing his emotions he even did not cast his looks on them.
And beholding the monarch (refer to duryodhan) once more draw up his clothes to cross a piece of dry land which he had mistaken for water, they all laughed again.

Sometime after mistook a closed door made of crystal as open.
And as he was about to pass through it his head struck against it, and he stood with his brain reeling.

And mistaking as closed another door made of crystal that was really open, the king in attempting to open it with stretched hands, tumbled down. And coming upon another door that was really open, the king thinking it as closed, went away from it.
