For all the women who are simultaneously improbably powerful and profoundly human. We have a long history of being powerful women. You all are aware of what that signifies. I’ll give you one good example of a powerful woman.
Keeping it brief and straightforward.
A well-known and frequently repeated tale is the one about Damayanthi from The Mahabharata. In the Vidarbha kingdom, there was a monarch named Bheema. His daughter was named Damayanthi. Stories of Damayanti’s beauty and intelligence circulated all over as she grew up to be an incredible woman.
The ruler of the Nishaba empire was Nala, who was powerful and attractive. He had prominence for being an ever-just and trustworthy ruler. He took care of his public as a parent would. He was adored in return by the people.
A Brahmin entered his court one delightful day. He proposed the name Damayanti after the daughter of King Vidarbha. Nala fell in love with the princess as a result of his vivid portrayal of her.
Nala was once strolling the royal garden unaided and abstracted about Damayanti. Golden-winged swans dismounted in a hive upon the meadow. As she moved, Nala caught one of them. The swan fought to flee. The swan stated, “Nala let me go, you talk in a human voice,” which stunned Nala. I am aware of human language. I’m going to release a splendid bird like you right now. How can I? Nala retorted. I’ll do you a favour if you exempt me. I’ll take a plane to the land of Vidarbha, where I’ll characterize you to Damayanti, the princess. She will yearn to be yours and yours alone once I refine her to you said the swan.
Nala let go of the swan. I’ve set you free. Now go. Tell Damayanti about my fondness for her. The swan flew to Vidarbha. Damayanthi ran towards the swan. Swan led her to a peaceful corner far away. It then addressed her. Damayanti, pay attention. I have come to tell you about Nala’s affection for you. The swan lavished praise on Nala. Your life and beauty would turn more worthwhile if you agreed to become his. You are a rare find among women. Nala is the most noble of men. The union of the best with the best results in happiness. What is your response? ”

Blushing, Damayanti replied, ”
“Dear swan, go and tell Nala that I am his and always have always been his.” The swan flew back and gave Damayanti’s message to Nala.
Meanwhile, Bhima was planning a grand ceremony called the swayamvara for Damayanti, where she could choose her husband. News of the swayamvara reached even the gods in heaven.
The Devas: Indra, the gods’ king; Agni, the fire god; Varuna, the god of the seas, and Yama, the god of the underworld had also heard of Damayanti’s charms. They also decided to attend the swayamvara. Damayanti claimed that kings, wearing rich clothes and jewels, came on golden chariots drawn by magnificent horses and surrounded by attendants to impress Damayanti. The four gods descended to earth as well. They passed Nala, who was also on his way to the swayamvara. The gods were taken aback by this mortal man’s dignified relevance and noble appearance. The gods came up to him. “Are you Nala, or not?” We’ve heard of you, of your generosity and devotion to the truth. Will you assist us? Will you carry a note for us? ” Nala bowed to them.
Nala replied, “I will do whatever you ask.”.
Tell Damayanti we’re coming and that she should marry one of us. Nala replied, “No.” You previously stated that you would do anything we asked.
Will you now go break your word? Indra questioned.
As the gods had ensured him, Nala was able to go without being stopped, straight into the palace and into Damayanti’s chambers. He noticed her sitting there. “I am Nala. I have come as a god’s messenger. The four supreme gods of heaven want you to choose one of them as your husband. I have come here unseen through their powers. As promised, I delivered their message. “Now, Damayanti, do whatever you think is best.” Damayanti paused for a moment to reflect. “Nala, you have done your duty to the gods by delivering their message,” she said. But the decision is entirely in my hands. If I put the garland around your neck, then you are not to blame. No harm can come to you as a result of my actions. “Go and tell the gods that I will choose you in their presence.” Nala’s heart was overjoyed. He returned to where the four celestials were waiting and delivered Damayanti’s message to them. The hour of the swayamvara arrived. The royal guests had gathered in the hall. All eyes were on the entrance door. Damayanti walked in, holding a garland. Without halting, she walked straight to where Nala was seated. Her brow furrowed, and she frowned. There were Five men seated in front of her, who resembled Nala. How is this possible?
In a flash, Damayanti reckoned who the men were. There were the four gods who had endured the form of Nala.

Damayanti then began to pray. Oh, gods, I have chosen Nala as my husband with faith and sincerity. For the sake of this belief, please reveal him to me. Damayanti observed the transformation.She wrapped the garland around true form Nala’s neck. Appreciation!! The gods confronted their true forms and blessed the young couple.
When asked how she distinguished. They didn’t even flutter an eye, she said in response. And instead of lying on the ground, their feet appeared to be hovering over it, as if they were not made for our planet. The flowers in their garlands appeared to have been picked just moments earlier. Shadows fell sideways as a result of the intense sunshine that was coming in. But none of the four men made a shadow. Nala sat next to them, his garland drooping from the heat and his eyes naturally blinking as he perspired lightly. He had his feet firmly planted, and Damayanti smiled and expressed gratitude as she regarded the priceless shadow he had created.
“Damayanti, you have chosen me over the gods themselves,” Nala exclaimed. I promise to be your most honorable companion. The four gods figured out that Damayanti’s love had a strength that was unmatched by their own. Her strong will and sincere heart moved them.
We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so passionate they can be sensible.
