28. andharangam pukkEnO sanjchayanaip pOlE

Sanjaya was the charioteer for Dritharashtra and was also his close friend. They both learnt from the same guru in their young age. When the Kuaravas and Pandavas went to war in Kurukshetra, he acted as the eyes for the blind king and kept him up to date on the daily events in the war. He told the king that whichever side Krishna and Arjuna were on, that would be the side that would emerge victorious. yatra yogeshvara: krushNo yatra pArtho danurdhara: tatra shrIrvijayobhUti: druvanIdirmatirmama Before the war, Dritharashtra sent Sanjaya as his messenger to see Krishna. At that time, Krishna, His wife Satyabama, Arjuna and Draupadi were together in their private chambers having a discussion. No one was allowed in at that time. When they heard of Sanjaya's visit, Krishna said "Let's have him meet us here. Seeing how close we are, he will take back that message to the Kauravas. That itself will destroy them." And Sanjaya did take that message back to Duryodhana. Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Did I get a private audience with Him like Sanjaya did?"
