KOMPAS/FERGANATA INDRA RIATMOKO

Sindhunata.

Being sincere and honest is not easy. Even the most honest man can lie if he is emotionally devastated by a difficult situation. This is what happened to figures like Prabu Yudistira in the violent war of Bharatayuda.

Once upon a time Durna, the powerful priest of Kurawa, ran amok. The Pandawa troops could not defeat Durna, a divine man. Therefore, Batara Kresna asked the Pandawa king, Yudistira, to tell a lie that Aswatama, Durna’s son, had died on the battlefield. Yudistira was known to be honest. It was impossible for him to lie. Finally, he gave in, declaring that Aswatama was dead, but what he was referring to, in fact, was an elephant named Aswatama.
