74. Helpless Mother
Krip was searching desperately for anything that can be used as a milk substitute in pretty much all empty containers in the kitchen. In her mind the first thing was that she could use rice to make something similar to milk.
But to her dismay, There was not even a grain of rice in these containers, This broke her spirit down. She felt like a burst of crying out of fear of her son hearing it or seeing her like that prevented her from doing so.
She just cursed the Niyati (Fate) on why she wanted to play with her like this? Isn't she already given enough pain and troubles to woman and wife in her that now it even decided to give suffering to mother in her?
Kripi married to her husband Drona the son of Sage Bharadvaja because of the decision of her twin brother Kripa, Who now became the royal teacher of Hastinapur and is known as Kripacharya (Acharya means teacher).
