Once again am writing about them.
In short, the Kaurav's symbolise the numerous desires and negativities in us, born out of Moha / Attachment and agyaan (delusion and ignorance).
That is one simple explanation.
Then there are several interpretations by various saints, but all true and leading to explain the same point
1. So there were 7 maharathis in the Kaurav Army ( accomplished men of war & they represent the 7 negative qualities and 11 huge battalions (the 5 senses (see, hear, touch, smell & taste) and the 5 action organs (hand, feet, tongue & ) & the mind
2. Another explanation is : 5 sense organs + 5 action organs = 10
The 10 negative qualities namely
Kama, krodha, lobha, Moha, mada, matsarya, mal, dambh, darpa, agyaan.
Lust, anger, greed, delusion, pride, envy jealousy , hypocrisy, arrogance , ignorance
Each sense organ can act with the 10 negative qualities so 10*10 =100 modifications / combinations
So we have to fight with these 100 forms of negativities that arise in us and defeat them with Gods grace to move forward....
3. Another interpretation is
- Duryodhana is vainglorious desire and his brothers the 99 other Kurus are sense tendencies.
- Kripa charya is delusion or ignorance
- Karna is attachment or Raga
- Bhisma is ego
- Vikrana is repulsion
- Jayadratha body bound inclination
- Son of somadatta is material action or karma
- Drona habit or sanskara
- Ashvattaman latent desire
4. And one more interpretation is: The Pandavs are the five elements and Drupadi is our kundalini shankti or life force. The sons of her are our five energy centers. Yet one says that the pandas are teh energy chakras and Draupadi is married to all as she as Kundalini awakens them all to lead to nirvana.
