Even after the war was over, someone attempted to take Bheema's life. Who was this?
-
Ashvathama
-
Dhritarashtra
-
Kripacharya
-
Gandhari
After the Kurukshetra war ended, Dhritarashtra, overcome with grief over losing all 100 of his sons, attempted to crush Bhima in a bear hug during their meeting. The other options are incorrect: Ashvathama was the one who sought vengeance, Kripacharya was a neutral teacher, and Gandhari was Dhritarashtra's wife who cursed Krishna.
To answer this question, we need to have knowledge about the Mahabharata, an ancient Indian epic. In the Mahabharata, Bheema is one of the Pandava brothers, who fought against the Kauravas in the great Kurukshetra war.
Option A) Ashvathama - This option is incorrect. Ashvathama was a character in the Mahabharata who fought on the side of the Kauravas. He was the son of Dronacharya, the guru of both the Pandavas and the Kauravas. While Ashvathama played a significant role in the war, he did not attempt to take Bheema's life after the war was over.
Option B) Dhritarashtra - This option is correct. Dhritarashtra was the blind king of the Kauravas and the father of the Kaurava princes. Even after the war was over, Dhritarashtra harbored resentment towards the Pandavas. In an act of revenge, he plotted to kill Bheema by setting fire to a house made of lac, where the Pandavas were staying. However, Bheema and his brothers survived this attempt.
Option C) Kripacharya - This option is incorrect. Kripacharya was a revered sage and warrior who fought on the side of the Kauravas in the war. However, there is no record of him attempting to take Bheema's life after the war.
Option D) Gandhari - This option is incorrect. Gandhari was the wife of Dhritarashtra and the mother of the Kauravas. While she grieved the loss of her sons in the war, there is no record of her attempting to take Bheema's life.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) Dhritarashtra. He attempted to take Bheema's life after the war was over.
