On seeing how Drupada had been thoroughly humiliated, Drona smiled at him and asked him, “Oh my dear king, do you now desire to revive our old friendship? It seems that your kingdom and wealth have all become mine.” Humiliated and ashamed, Drupada could’t speaks a word. Adding insult to the injury, Drona further said, “After all, I am a liberal brahamana, I am not going to take away your life. Moreover I have always cherished affection for you as a friend. So I still desire your friendship, but, my dear Drupada, friendship can only be among equals. Now you have lost your whole kingdom and have become a beggar. And your entire kingdom and wealth have now become mine. So how can friendship exist between a king like me and a beggar like you? Having pity on a beggar like you, I am giving half of my kingdom to you.” And Drona gave half the kingdom of Panchal to Drupada.

 A massive fire sacrifices (yajna) to beget a son Dhristadyumna, who would kill Drona.

Thus we can see that, when one is insulted by another and the fight goes on and on. So, when we meditate on insults there is no end to such fights. Therefore instead of wasting precious human form of life in brooding over such past events, it is better to turn to God and seek refuge in him, and, even if our heart is very pain by such insults, we should go to God for shelter just like Dhruva did.

When he was insulted by his stepmother, Dhurva took the right Shelter. He went to the forest and approached the lotus feet of lord Vishnu. By taking shelter of lord Vishnu, instead of being left in cold futilely mourn grieve, all of the Dhurva were wiped out and he achieved a kingdom greater than that of his grandfather, lord Brahma.

In all the same way, we can also become free from all sufferings if we turn to God when we are insulted.
