CH 8 LITERATURE CLASS 7D PANDAVAS IN EXILE

 


Page 89

·         Question: Why do you think Yudhishthira sent Sahadeva in search of water?

o    Answer: Yudhishthira was completely exhausted and unable to walk any further due to fatigue. Since everyone was severely dehydrated and footsore, he sat down to rest under a tree and sent Sahadeva (one of his younger brothers) to look for a nearby water source to quench their thirst.

·         Question: What does 'raised their smiling heads to the Sun' mean here?

o    Answer: This phrase is a poetic description meaning that the colorful lotuses (pink, white, and blue) were in full bloom, facing upwards, and looking bright, fresh, and beautiful under the direct sunlight.

·         Question: Do you think Sahadeva should have gone in search of the yaksha before drinking water from the pool? What does it tell you about his character?

o    Answer: Ideally, he should have heeded the warning voice, but his extreme thirst and physical exhaustion clouded his judgment. He dismissed the voice as a hallucination caused by the hot sun. This reveals that under intense physical distress, he was somewhat impulsive and hasty, prioritizing immediate survival over caution.

·         Question: Do you agree with Yudhishthira's answer? [Regarding "Courage! Courage is his surest weapon in danger."]

o    Answer: Yes, because when a person faces severe danger, panic and fear lead to poor decisions. Courage is what keeps the mind steady, allowing a person to face adversity bravely and find a way out.

·         Question: What does this tell you about Yudhishthira's character? [Regarding his choice to revive Nakula over Bhima or Arjuna]

o    Answer: This highlights that Yudhishthira is completely impartial, just, and deeply committed to righteousness (Dharma). By choosing Nakula (the son of his stepmother Madri) instead of his own full brothers, he ensured that both of his father's wives would have at least one surviving son, showcasing his ultimate selflessness and moral nobility.

·         Question: What do you think would have happened to the Pandavas if Yudhishthira had not been able to answer the yaksha's questions?

o    Answer: If Yudhishthira had failed to answer the questions, he would have likely suffered the same fate as his brothers after drinking the water. Consequently, all five Pandava brothers would have remained dead or permanently unconscious by the enchanted pool, and their lineage would have ended there.
