| dbo:abstract | Lakshagriha (Sanskrit: लाक्षागृहम्, IAST: lākṣāgṛham)) (The House of Lacquer) is a place mentioned in the Mahabharata, one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Ramayana. This place is located on the bank of ganga river, 5 km south side from handia tehsil, Prayagraj. Jealous of their cousins Pandava brothers, Duryodhana planned to kill them by building a palace made from lacquer, and invited them to stay there for a while. Purochana the architect was employed in the building of Lakshagriha in the forest of Varnavrat. The house was meant to be a death trap, since lacquer is highly flammable. The plot itself was such that nobody would suspect foul play and the eventual death of the Pandavas would pass off as an accident. In the Mahabharata this incident is considered as a major turning point, since the Pandavas were considered dead by their cousins, and makes them aware of the Kauravas antagonism towards them. This gave the Pandavas ample motive and opportunity to prepare for a potential alliance with Dhrupad through marriage with his daughter Draupadi, so as to keep their position more secure through an alliance with another Royal family. (en) Dalam wiracarita Mahabharata, Laksagreha (Dewanagari: लाक्षागृह; IAST: Lākṣāgṛha लाक्षागृह) adalah istana berlapis lak, yang menjadi kediaman para Pandawa beserta Kunti (ibu mereka), saat berlibur di Warnabrata. Kata laksagreha berarti "rumah (dari) lak"; lak adalah zat pelapis perabot rumah tangga yang terbuat dari damar. Kisah tentang Laksagreha dimuat dalam Adiparwa, buku pertama dari 18 kitab Mahabharata. Dalam Mahabharata dikisahkan bahwa Duryodana begitu membenci para Pandawa dan berniat membinasakan mereka. Dengan bimbingan dan nasihat dari Sangkuni, ia merancang suatu siasat untuk membunuh para Pandawa dan merekayasa agar pembunuhan tersebut terlihat sebagai kecelakaan belaka. Maka dari itu, ia memanggil seorang arsitek bernama Purocana, dan memerintahkannya untuk membangun suatu istana kecil berbahan lak di tengah hutan sebagai perangkap mematikan bagi para Pandawa. Menurut kisah, istana tersebut dirancang agar cepat terbakar—sebab lak adalah zat yang mudah terbakar—agar cepat menewaskan penghuni di dalamnya. Setelah istana tersebut selesai, Duryodana segera memberi saran kepada para Pandawa untuk berlibur ke Warnabrata dan menginap di istana yang baru dibangun di sana. Para Pandawa setuju dan mengajak ibu mereka, sementara Yudistira (Pandawa yang sulung) tetap waspada setelah menerima peringatan dari paman mereka, Widura. Pada hari yang ditetapkan, Laksagreha dibakar oleh Purocana saat para Pandawa berada di dalamnya. Namun, percobaan pembunuhan yang dilakukan oleh Duryodana akhirnya gagal sebab Pandawa berhasil menyelamatkan diri melalui terowongan yang dibangun oleh para penambang yang diutus oleh Widura. Setelah kabur, para Pandawa dan Kunti mengembara sampai kerajaan Panchala. (in) |
