XIII Poem : All that glitters is not Gold : Appearances are deceptive

XII.Poem :

Medi pandu chuda malimai undu
Potta vichi chuda Purugu lundu
Beruku vani madini Binkamelagura
Viswadha abhirama Vinura Vema

Telugu Version :
మేడి పండు చూడ మేలిమై నుండు ,
పొట్ట విప్పి చూడ పురుగు లుండు. 
బెరుకు వాణి మదిని బింకమేలాగురా ,
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినుర వేమా. 




Meaning : A   Fig may appear to be quite fresh and good from outside but it may be filled with lot of worms or pests which can't be eaten by anyone. Like wise a coward may pretend himself to be a brave man yet he would be inwardly fearful. Thus can never achieve his goal.

Story : "Dhrutarastra Kaugilinta ": Is an expression to explain the cunning and sly nature of people who outwardly look good and kind.

Dhritarastra the father of Kauravas and the king of Hastinapura was always jealous of his brother Pandu for getting the throne and kinship ,depriving him of the same .The kinship was not bequeathed to him due to his blindness .Instead of accepting the fact that it is a system to handover the power to the healthy heir he developed a jealous towards his brother Pandu.After his death Dritarastra started ruling the kingdom with the assistance of Vidura yet he knew that the kinship had to be handed over to Yudhistar his brother's son and not to Duryodhana his own son.Hence he was always biased towards Pandavas . He was so possessed about his son Duryodhana that he was blind to all the mischief done by Duryodhana.

After the Mahabharat war was over, the Pandavas went to Dhritarashtra to seek his blessings before the coronation of Yudistra as king of Hastinapur. All the Pandavas, one after another went to Dhritarashtra to seek his blessings.

When the turn of Bhima came, knowing fully well about the revenge and vengeance of Dhritarashtra and how he can execute his vengeance through a hug, Lord Krishna wilfully presented a statue of Bhima. Without knowing the above, Dhritarashtra crushed the statue of Bhima through his hug and exposed his true, revengeful character than fatherly love.
