Three month have passed since the building of Indraprastha. Pandavas were busy with management of Indraprastha. Yudhishthir took responsibility for sabha, Bheem and Arjun was busy in training army. Nakul and Sahdev were busy in financial and other issues. Draupadi was busy in her duties of queen and touring around the kingdom. But they didn't forget to torture Karna. Bheem and Arjun especially took Chariot to go to ue army barracks and Draupadi with Nakul daily tour around Indraprastha with him in the evening. Karna as usual did his duties quietly which irked them most. They did all their capabilities to mock or and insult him. Like Arjun and Bheem especially to of him to see when they were training army. They did it thinking karna would be angry seeing others train in weapon when he couldn't but karna just indifferently looked at them like he was watching a play. Nakul and Draupadi did their best to mock Karna during their ride by now whole Indraprastha knew the dislike of Pandavas and Draupadi towards Karna which isolated him but Karna was just fine as it is. Karna too never slept and keep repeating shiv stotram Tandava regularly. He became good in multitasking because of it. He only ate one meal in a day that too of commoners amout. His three years of sleeplessness and hunger has awarded him control of his body.

Today was as going as usual in Indraprastha, Pandavas and Draupadi were busy as usual Arjun and Bheem too was in the palce as today was rest day from training army. Sabha was going on as usual at noon a soldier who was guarding the palace gates came to sabha.

Yudhishthir : What happened soldier, why have you disturbed the sabha.

Soldiers : Maharaj, Charioteer karna has told me to inform you that he is going to leave now as his punishment is over as of noon.

There was silence in the court.

Bheem : What that suta has dared to disturb sabha for this.

Nakul : He is still so arrogant he was not requesting but informing us about his leave.

Arjun : To be full of air though vanquished.( Rassi jal hai par nahi gaya).

Draupadi : Why are we giving such importance to him. If want to leave let him leave. We will be better of then.

Bheem : It is not matter of him leave Draupadi but the way he is leaving.

Nakul : Jyeshtha, what should we do.

Yudhishthir : We can do nothing, his punishment ended as of now he can leave. I can't punish him again for doing nothing.

Draupadi : Ask him to come to Sabha.

Bheem : But why? He is not allowed to come in the palace.

Draupadi (smirked) : Let him see the beauty of palace and Sabha before leaving.

Pandavas saw her smirk and understood the hidden meaning. They thought Karna would be jeolous of beauty of palace and through palace he would be jeolous of him. Sabha was especially mayavi water surface here resembles Solid surface and vice versa. If karna came here alone he would be humiliated and they would have good laugh at him.

Bheem : Great idea draupadi.

Yudhishthir : Tell him to come here.

Soldier left to inform Karna about that. Seeing all this Sahdev was not surprised but became sad. He was happy hearing of Karna punishment was over. In the three years he has seen this happening enough so it doesn't surprise him anymore. He was sure that Karna wasn't going to fall for some pretty illusions.

As Sahdev expected Karna came to sabha and infront of yudhishthir without any problems. Karna was surprised to hear his summon but reason behind it became clear as soon as he came to sabha. He was truly baffled by petty attempt of these Pandavas. Seeing Karna arrived the Sabha looking indifferent and calmly. Four Pandavas and Draupadi were surprised and gritted their teeth seeing their plans being gone to dump. They thought Karna was just lucky but Sahdev thought differently. He had guessed karna was warrior before so he wasn't too surprised. Karna just stood there without showing an ounce of fear. He looked Yudhishthir straight in his eyes. Pandavas were once again angry as karna didn't bowed before king of Indraprastha

Yudhishthir : Karna, why didn't you bow bow down?

Karna : My punishment is over and I don't want to stay here any longer and I am no citizens of Indraprastha.

Bheem : Tell us truth suta you want to go to Hastinapur to gain favor of Duryodhana.

Nakul : Yes you have seen our kingdom and our army training so you will surely want to let our enemies know about it.

Karna was just silent.

Bheem : Answer us suta.

Draupadi : Yes Answer Aarya Bheem and Nakul. You are insulting us by ignoring us.

Again he was silent.

Yudhishthir (angrily) : Answer the questions or I will have to punish you again Karna.

Karna : You can't, you are not my king as I was never your subject, only right you had over me is finished now. You are no independent king and Your kindom is under Hastinapur. So you have no right to punish me, if you want to punish me you have to get permission of Maharaj and Yuvraj of Hastinapur as technically I am still citizen of Hastinapur.

Pandavas and Draupadi became angry by his response but they just gritted their teeth because what Karna said was true. The were once again reminded of how right of Yudhishthir was denied and Kunti has to stay at Hastinapur. They were sure Dhritarashtra or Duryodhana would never allow them to touch let alone citizens of Hastinapur.

Yudhishthir (angrily) : Fine leave and never return to Indraprastha.

Karna just turned around and left.

Bheem : That petty suta, we are letting him leave and he dare to show us arrogance.

Nakul : How did he came and left sabha without falling to illusions.

Arjun : He must have asked someone about the way and they would have told him.

Draupadi : Lets not waste our time thinking about him.

Others agreed and decided to continue. Sahdev decided to prolong his maun further. Things he saw in these years made him realise true face of his family and their arrogance so he didn't wish to speak with them any further if possible. He decided to speak only when his family realised their mistakes.

Karna left Indraprastha on his foot and decided to leave for Mahendragiri. Five days passed and he finally reached Mahendragiri and climbed up to meet his gurudev, Gurumaa, parents and Vrushali. He reached out side of the hermitage and saw two people, one male and one female were sitting and meditating. The male has long beard and moustache and wore bhagwa clothes and female beside him wore an orange saree and rudraksha ornaments. He recognised them immediately, they were none other than his parents. He went near them and gently touched their feet. Feeling the familiar touch Radha and Adhiratha immediately opened their eyes. Radha saw her son and immediately hugged him and cried. Adhiratha too was patting his son in the back with teary eyes. Radha and Karna hugged for some time where Radha let out all her longing for her son through teras. No words were being exchanged only three of them crying but all the emotions were expressed in that moment. Agony, longing, relief, hapiness every thing was there.

After sometime they seperated and all the family went inside the hermitage. They decided to have talk in the hut as they all were too emotional on that moment. Upon entering the hut they saw Vrushali was training swords under guidance of Mata Dharini and Bhagwan Parshuram too was there seeing his wife and her student with smile. Seeing this Karna remembered his time here but what happened then was opposite of what's happening now. Bhagwan Parshuram used to teach him and Mata was there seeing them and smiling. A smile appeared on his lips remembering that. Three people too felt the presence of Karn's family and stopped to look towards them. They became happy seeing Karna here, they have waited this day for long time. Karna immediately moved towards them and touched feet of Bhagwan Parshuram and Dharini. Vrushali hid behind Mata Dharini and smiled with teary eyes after seeing Karna in three years. The divine couple blessed him. The practice stopped and they all went inside to have talk and food.

Inside of hut everyone was sitting there. Radha was sitting beside Karna as if he will leave if she wasn't near him. Dharini too sitting on other side of Karna. Bhagwan Parshuram and Adhiratha was sitting beside their wives. Vrusha was serving food to them. Karna was fed by Radha and Dharini. Their husbands is as watching this mother son love fondly. After eating

Radha : Putra, promise me you won't let anyone treat you unjustly ever again. If you have to then lift your weapon for this mother of you.

Karna : I promise you Maa, don't worry I have decided to raise the weapons again but not just myself but for other oppressed too.

Dharini : It's good Putra, very good. Now tell us what happened in these three years.

Karna told them but didn't go into details but he did confess about his namesake mairrage and the circumstances and reason behind it. Others were shocked especially Vrushali but they understood why it was done. Though he didn't go in details but everyone can easily guess Karna didn't tell everything as he didn't want them to get upset.

Adhiratha : You have gone through a lot in these years.

Karna : For me it was a learning experience Pitashree. Hardship have never deter me from anything. It has only strengthen me.

Parshuram : Yes, Putra hardship do make a better person but what has done to you was injustice.

Karna : Gurudev, this has made me realise the problem of common people. I am much better person than before. As for injustice done to me it was not as bad as some others had to go through daily.

Dharini : Putra, I am proud of you. Even facing all this you think of society first. You have shown why are you not ordinary, You will be extraordinary.

Parshuram : I am too proud of you Putra.

Karna : It's all your teaching gurudev.

Everyone smiled hearing that. Radha then told him what all has happened with them. How she and Adhiratha did penance and Vrushali became student of Mata Dharini. She explained everything.

Radha : Putra, I want you to marry Vrushali after her education will be completed.

Karna : Mata, I have considered her as my wife the day she left Hastinapur with you. Don't worry I will marry her and only she will be my wife in this life.

Vrushali blushed hearing this. She ran away from hut. Everyone laughed seeing her reaction. Karna didn't say but he was observing her since he saw her. She has matured even more in three years. . For Karna there was no other person in the three lok better than Vrushali to be his life partner. She has everything what he desired Karna in his life partner. She respect his parents and made such sacrifice for his family it was enough for him. In truth he fell for her three years ago. He knew of her love since childhood he wasn't as dense as other believed him to be. In childhood he was most attracted to weapons so he decided to focus on that only but after his return he still saw the love in her eyes and pain that her eyes held on their last meeting was enough for him to fell in love with her. It was not pain of her leaving Hastinapur with his parents but pain fo what he was going to go through for three years. He decided to marry her and only her then and there but due to circumstances he has to marry once. Actually he was happy and relieved when Draupadi rejected him as for him only Vrushali was his wife. Looks never matter for him but he had to admit She became a great beauty who hold grace and royal temperament.

Karna wasn't wrong because of boon was asked keeping Vrushali in the mind so it was slowly taking effect and changing Vrushali both outwardly and inwardly. Because of it she was learning everything with accelerated pace be it sastra, Shastra or kala. She was slowly acquiring the qualities that Adhiratha asked for her. Her true change will come out once she will complete her studies but there is few years for that to happen. Vrushali was learning for just three years her education will take at least 7-9 years. Karna had no problem with the wait, he was happy that Vrushali was getting education from the best teachers on the earth and his gurudev and Gurumata treat her like daughter. She will be a force to reckon with after her education.

Vrushali came back but wasn't able to meet eyes of Karna who was smiling looking at her.The people in the room were talking but suddenly a divine light appeared in the hut. They turned towards it and saw Indradev was there.

Indradev : Pranipat Bhagwan Parshuram and Mata Dharini.

Divine couple : Pranipat Indradev.

Karna, Radha, Adhiratha and Vrushali : Pranipat Indradev.

Indradev : Kalyan ho.

Parshuram : Why have you came here Devraj.

Indradev : I have came to ask help Bhagwan.

Parshuram : What help Devraj.

Indradev : Bhagwan Nivatkavacha rakshaks who reside in patal lok are planning to attach Swarg lok with polom rakshas. They all got boon from Brahamdev that devs, gandhavs, nag, etc can't harm them so only a human can kill them. They were gathering their power and increasing their numbers throughout this time. Bhagwan please help us otherwise swarglok will be conquered by them. There are near about 5 million of them and because of boon we can't defeat them. Bhagwan please help us.

Parshuram : Devraj I have decided to leave a life of just a penancing Brahman so I can't fight them. But don't worry they will be punished for their misuse of their boon.

Indradev : I know I won't return empty handed from here Bhagwan.

Parshuram : Karna, prepare for battle I want you to go to patal and destroy the rakshaks and danav there who is conspiring against swarglok. Let me see if my education is fruitful or not and if these three years have dulled you.

Karna : Gurudev, you wish is my command. I promise you that those who were intending to attack will not be left alive in patal.

Parshuram : Vijayi bhava Putra.

Indradev : Putra, karna I want to give you this divine Chariot. With its help you can go to all three lok. It is fastest and strongest Chariot of three lok. Vijayi bhava.

Karna immediately took his weapons that was in the hut. These were same weapon that he left three years ago. He didn't wish to use Vijaya bow as he knew his guru was testing him. He took the blessings of everyone except Vrushali and climbed the chariot to go to patal lok. Radha and Adhiratha were worried for their son but didn't stop him because they knew Parshuram's orders were absolute for him just like theirs. Karna left but others were present there.

Parshuram : Devraj, I want you to bring Karna to swarglok after his battle in patal. Tell devguru brihaspati that I wish him to teach karna about everything needed to be a great king. Tell karna that I have told him to stay there for 9 years and learn whatever he could learn in swarg.

Indradev : As you wish Bhagwan.

Indradev left there. Parshuram seeing the worried faces of Radha, Adhiratha and Vrushali smiled.

Parshuram : Don't worry my students will come victorious in this battle. Don't you believe in Karna.

Radha : we believe in him but as his mara I will always be worried for him. To me he will always be a child.

Parshuram : Till now you have not heard of valour take this opportunity to truly know strength of your son. He alone is enough for them. He was formidable enough to complete this task even before he got his boons from your penance.

Radha : Bhagwan, Why did need to learn from Devguru brihaspati?

Parshuram : Radha, your son was born to bring great changes in Aaryavrat. for that to happen he needs to have power and influence which is only possible when he becomes a King. I have taught him to be righteous and made him warrior but othe qualities are needed to be a good king and Devguru will teach him that. Vrushali needs 9 years for her education to be completed and till then Karna will also learn various things in swarg. This seperation will be motivation for both of them. After these 9 years there is a subh murat that happens once in millenium they will get married then.

Radha, Adhiratha and Vrushali were happy learning this. Though they veere sad about seperation but atleast it will for betterment of Karna. They decided to return to their usual tasks. Radha and Adhiratha returned meditation while Dharini and Vrushali began their training. Parshuram has decided to help Dharini in the process.
