Editor's Note:
A LOVE TRIANGLE THAT CHANGED A DYNASTYAnother lesser known yet emotionally rich and powerful love story from Indian puranas is the love triangle of Sharmishtha, her former friend Devayani, and Yayati. Over a petty misunderstanding, Devayani used her influence as the daughter of a powerful sage Shukracharya, Guru of the Asuras, to make her best friend Sharmishtha her veritable slave. (To see why Devayani was such a bitter, spiteful person, read Devayani and Kacha: A Love Story.) Soon after, Devayani chanced across a man trapped in a well. On learning that he was Yayati, king of a powerful nation, she blackmailed him into a relationship in exchange for saving his life. A man of his word, Yayati eventually married Devayani but in fact, it was her maid and slave Sharmishtha that he truly loved. Unable to resist his heart’s longing, Yayati began a secret affair with Sharmishtha that last years. But one day, Devayani began to suspect something was amiss in her perfect life and followed her husband into the forest, discovering his secret to her chagrin. But that was not the end of this extraordinary tale. Read on to see how Ashok’s storytelling shines brilliant light upon this gem pried loose from the mosaic of his own Mahabharata Series.THIS EBOOK IS EXCERPTED FROM THE LARGER MAHABHARATA SERIES BY ASHOK K.
