Next day karna woke up did his pooja and went up to the Mahendragiri to meet his parents, gurudev, gurumata and Vrushali. He reached the hermitage after sometime. He saw the compound was empty so he went to the hut. He reached the hut and saw Mata Dharini and Radha was preparing to serve breakfast to Bhagwan Parshuram and Adhiratha but Vrushali wasn't there. Four of them felt his presence and turned their head around to look at him. Karna immediately went forward and touched everyone feets to get their blessings. Mata Dharini told him to sit down and have breakfast. Karna smiled and sat down.

After breakfast, they observed Karna since he arrived there and were happy to see his changes. He looked happy and mature since he left here. Radha asked what he was upto in these 9 Years. Karna told her everything first his battle in patal lok then becoming students of Shukracharya and learning three years under him about politics, yoga, illusions astra, and Sanjeevni matra from him. Thn he told him about his Stay in heaven for two years and learning under Devguru brihaspati, learning singing and Veena playing by Gandharvs, helping and learning from Devs, his boons and gifts from all the Devs and leaving swarg for his gurudhkhsina. Him traveling two years with three persona and making friends with all around Aaryavrat. Then he told them about killing Jarasandh and becoming king. He told them about his kingdom which was gift and creation of Brahamdev. His reforms in his kingdom and now for one year he has been inviting all his friends to come and live in his kingdom.

Radha and Adhiratha were surprised that so much happened with their son. No wonder Karna is so matured now. The awe astounded that he has three best teacher of three lok. Parshuram and Dharini was also happy with his achievements.

Parshuram : I am proud of you Putra. I knew you would be a great king. You have made my education fruitful Putra. You have also helped the victim of drona. I am proud of you.

Dharini : Yes, we all are proud for what you have achieved Putra. Your kingdom will be an example to equality and co existence in all Aaryavrat.

Karna : It's teaching and blessings of everyone.

Adhiratha : Putra, your new journey as a king has just began don't be complacent. I am proud of you but we all have seen what complacency could do.

Karna : Jii Pitashree.

Radha : Putra, you have never told us what was your gurudhkhsina to Bhagwan Parshuram and Asurguru Shukracharya.

There was sudden silence in the room. Parshuram and Dharini showed a painful and guilty expression. While Karna was having trouble he doesn't want to lie nor he wants to tell them about that. Radha and Adhiratha noticed the changes in the room. They realised Radha's questions

Karna : Mata, there were no Gurudhkhsina given to them. Guru Parshuram and guru Shukra blessed me instead. Shukracharya asked me help and send asur back to patal and gurudev here has blessed me that no body could take my kavach and kundals from me.

Radha and Adhiratha knew that their son was hiding something. Because he averted his Saying last part of his sentence and increased guilty look on Bhagwan Parshuram told them otherwise. But they decided to stop asking. Parshuram and Dharini knew Karna wasn't willing to say the whole incident.

Parshuram : Karna don't tell them half truth.

Karna : Jii Gurudev. Mata I lied to gurudev and gained education by pretending to be a Brahman. After completing my education one day gurudev came to knew of it and punished me. Then I decided to never lift a weapon.

Radha and Adhiratha was shocked and angry hearing that their Putra has lied to Bhagwan Parshuram. Radha immediately stood up and slapped him.

Radha (angry) : Karna, how dare you do this, is this what I taught you. Lying and Deceiving you to be teacher. How could you do that.

Kana bowed his head down and didn't say anything.

Adhiratha : Karna, your mata is asking Something answer her. Was you hunger and competitive so big that you did such Adharm. Didn't you hear Stop you when you even thought of doing this.

Karna kept quiet, he knew what he has disappointed his parents very much. He was still guilty of what he had done. Parshuram and Dharini saw this and sighed they knew Karna's parents enough so they were expecting this.

Dharini : Calm down radha, Adhiratha. Putra Karna still blame himself for that though he repented and paid a too big price for that.

Karna looked up and had a stubborn look that says ‘i won't say any further’. Dharini and Parshuram saw this and sighed they knew Karna was not willing to say further. He could take everything on himself but he wouldn't allow even his parents to question Parshuram.

Parshuram then told radha about all what happened. How in his anger he cursed karna and asked his Kavach, kundals and asked him to leave and never return. Karna then gave up his weapon and skinned himself to remove his kavach, kundals and dismounted Mahendragiri. He told them how he was so close of dying then Mahadev and Mata Parvati appeared and saved him and blessed him to be best Archer after Mahadev and lifted his curse. Suryadev himself merged his kavacha and Kundals to his ears and torso after its purification. Hearing all this radha anger has disappeared and she hugged Karna and cried. Adhiratha was also shocked hearing this.

Parshuram : That incident is still my greatest regret. I am sorry for what I have done to your son. Radha, Adhiratha.

Seeing Bhagwan Parshuram folding his hand. Radha and Adhiratha was shocked. Karna immediately held his hand.

Karna : What are you saying and doing gurudev? Your curse is like god's blessings and to give you gurudhkhsina was my honor. Please don't say this again. I got my kavach and kundals back they are more powerful than ever. I got more than I could ever imagine because of it. No please gurudev never do this.

Adhiratha : Karna is right Bhagwan, your didn't have to ever do this. We are thankful for all you did for him. As for what happened it was right to punish him for his lies. Everything is good now we don't need to live in past.

Radha : Yes Bhagwan what Aarya is saying is right. Karna belong to you as much as he belong to us. No need to do this.

Parshuram was finally free from his guilt. He felt relieved hearing Radha and Adhiratha as it was their son that had to go through that nearly died because of his anger. There was another person who was listening to conversation from outside of hut. That was Vrushali, Radha and Adhiratha were unaware of her presence but others felt her the moment she arrived outside of. Vrushali came in the morning as this was last day of her completing her gurudhkhsina. When she arrived she heard Karna's voice out side of hut telling others what all has happened in these 9 years with him. She decided to stay outside and listen. She was happy for him that he achieved all that. Then when matter of gurudhkhsina was raised she was also disappointed that Karna did that but when she heard what he has to go through. She was shedding her tears for her childhood love. She wanted to go inside.

Dharini : Putri Vrushali, how long will you stay outside. Come in and sit with us

Radha and Adhiratha were surprised and turned their head towards the door. Everyone else too looked towards the door. Vrushali came inside. She was wearing a black skin fit dress only her face was uncovered. Karna looked at her and was transfixed.She was a little shorter than him and has otherworldly beauty, she has a grace of swan, beauty of a peacock but her steps were of lioness. He was just staring at her, it's not just hat he never saw beautiful woman quite opposite actually he has spent his two years with apsara in swarg and learning from them and traveling whole Aaryavrat he saw many beautiful ladies, but he has never seen a woman as beautiful as her. He has seen Draupadi who was considered as most beautiful woman of Aaryavrat but she doesn't even compare to the woman in front of him. He can see her steps were silent and measured like an experienced warrior. She didn't wore any jwellery not even an anklets. Seeing her dress he knew she was one who has been helping common people around Aaryavrat. Vrushali felt his gaze and blushed. Other saw all this happening and smiled. Radha especially coughed to get Karna out of his trance and stopped staring at Vrushali. Her cough fulfill his purpose and Karna came out of his trance and bushed other saw this and laughed. The joyful atmosphere in the hut returned.

Vrushali came and touched feet of Parshuram, Dharini, Radha and Adhiratha.

Vrushali : Mata I have returned and completed my gurudhkhsina.

Dharini : I am proud of you Putri.

Parshuram, Radha and Adhiratha tok were happy to see her. Vrushali's education was completed her education a year ago. She went outside to complete her gurudhkhsina. When Parshuram told that karna would be king and his responsibilities will increase so are his difficulties. Vrushali too decided to learn everything fast and help Karna. She completely focused on her education. She learnt everything at a very fast pace and completed her Education two-year early then expected. She is now well versed in Vedas, cooking, singing, dancing, makeup, Veena playing, swords fighting, axe, spear, dagger, mace, Whip and bow. Her favourite weapons to use are sword, axe and bow but she wasn't slouch in using other weapons. Like Karna on Dharini request Bhagwan Parshuram has given her all his divyastras including Brahmastra, brahamsirastra, Brhamandastra and vaisnavastra. She wasn't any less formidable then likes of Bheeshma or drona. She can give them run for their money and after completing her education her transformation due to Mata Parvati's boon was truly completed. Her beauty, intelligent, strength, wisdom, abilities increased.

Seeing two year left Mata Dharini sent her outside to gain experience. She told her to go and help the common people of Aaryavrat and kill the Adharmi who has been plaguing earth. Vrushali did that she helped the common people and killed many corrupted king, official, asur and others who were oppressing the people. But when she went out side someone else as already helping the common people. But that person never came up after she started helping the. She was confused at first by the behaviour but after listening to karna she understood the he was the one helping them and for last two years he was busy with his kingdom.

Seeing Vrushali, radha couldn't hep but said.

Radha : Bhagwan, Mata I think it's time for get them married.

Bhagwan Parshuram : Yes tomorrow there is auspicious Mahurat, Mahadev and Mata Parvati married at this Mahurat eons ago. this mahurat and alignment of navgraha happened once in every yug. It is brahamahurat for Karna and Vrushali to get married.

Dharini : Then mairrage will happen tomorrow but for now I want to test my shishya one last time.

Vrushali who were blushing a moment ago changed her expression to serious instantly. Everyone else to was surprised by sudden test.

Vrushali : Mata what will be my test.

Dharini : You will have to duel with Putra Karna with your weapons. I want to see if my shishya can keep her personal matter aside if such situation arrives.

Everyone but Parshuram was shocked by her words. They didn't think she would propose such test. Radha wanted to stop this but Adhiratha stopped her.

Vrushali : Ok Mata I will fight him.

Karna : If it's mata wish how can a son declined.

Dharini : Fine you both has to fight till few minutes before sundown Vrushali you will fight with all your strength and if you disarmed him or force him to summon his Kavach the fight will stop. This is your last test.

Parshuram : I will be the judge and mediator of this fight. Lets go it will happen in our practice area.

Karna and Vrushali left with Parshuram and Dharini to practice area. Radha who was keeping silence spoke.

Radha : Aarya, why did you stop me. What if Vrushali get injured.

Adhiratha : Radha this is not just a fight that Mata Dharini proposed to test Vrushali. She wants Vrushali to earn Karna's respect. Vrushali is going to be his wife they both love each other but mairrage needs husband and wife to respect each other. I knew Karna will respect her but mata wants him to know the abilities of his to be wife. She wants him to respect her not only as his wife but a warrior too. This fight lay foundation of their happy and successful mairrage which will have their love and respect towards eachother. Radha Vrushali is Shisya of Mata Dharini she isn't someone who is to be underestimated. Bhagwan Parshuram is there he will Stop the fight before someone get injured. Lets go, I want to personally see the strength and valour of our children.

Radha : jii Aarya.

Radha and Adhiratha arrived at practice area and saw karna and Vrushali was standing facing each other they have spears in their hands. Parshuram was standing little away from them and Mata Dharini was standing just outside of area to look at the fight. It seems that Bhagwan Parshuram has created a protective barrier field around the practice area. They came and stood beside Dharini. Others saw them arrive and Parshuram signalled to start the fight.

Both karna and Vrushali leaped towards each other and started tovfight with spear. They thrusted spear towards each other and deadly dance of attacks and defence begin. Vrushali was giving her all but Karna had upper hand due to his experience but that doesn't mean fight was easy for him. They both were fighting with normal weapons which couldn't last long with the high manuvering and clashing. Vrushali's spear broke first and Parshuram declared karna winner of spear duel. Then duel of axe took place both of them were skilled but karna disarmed her and won, mace was another weapons where there physical difference played a big part in Karna's victory. Dagger, whip were not some weapons to have duel with so next weapon that was used was sword. In sword fight Vrushali showed why it was her choice of weapon. She bridged the gap of strength with her abilities and it ended in a draw and both of their weapons broke at same time but Karna knew it was his defeat, he accepted that he isn't as skilled in swords as Vrushali is. Next the most thrilling fight the Archery battle, it was preferred weapons of both of them and they showed why they are warriors to be feared. Various divyastras were fired and countered. This battle was longest battle till now. Karna showed all the mastery of various divyastras that he gained from training with dev but Vrushali was able to counter them. Vrushali knew this battle was prolonging because Karna has allowed it to. She couldn't actually defeat him in swords which she has mastery of much less than archery which Karna loved and specialises in. But she was enjoying these battle so was Karna. He was having too much fun.Karna was very impressed by Vrushali, he attacks were precise, speed was amazing, her manuvering was outstanding. She lagged behind only in experience but otherwise she is warrior not to be trifled with.

Sun was going to set so Parshuram's declared the end of battle. Radha and Adhiratha were amazed by their children. Sun was going to set so each of them hurriedly went and did their pooja. After Pooja they gathered again.

Dharini : I am impressed Putri. Giving Karna such fight wasn't a easy feat. You have passed you test. You need more experience some of your mistakes were because if you he lack of it.

Vrushali : Thank you Mata. I will try to improve.

Parshuram : Karna you have improved tremendously. Not only you have attained yogic power but also complete control over your body, strength and emotions. I am impressed these 9 years truly was blessings for you.

Karna : Thank you Gurudev.

Adhiratha : You both were amazing.

Radha : Yes it was a great fight. But now we have more important matter to discuss, Your mairrage.

Karna : Mata there is no need to discuss we will get married here only.

Vrushali : Yes Mata, we will get married here among our loved ones.

Radha : But who will perform the ceremony here.

Parshuram : You don't have to worry about that Radha. All the arrangements will be done by tomorrow and mairrage will happen in brahamahurat.

Radha was happy getting assurance of Bhagwan Parshuram. They all chatted and eat dinner and went to rest.

Next day.

Karna woke up and went to river bank for his pooja and after that he did his yoga. When he returned to hermitage he familiar faces there which were busy in decoration and making mandap. They were none other than Gandharvs and apsara who was busy in decoration. He saw his friend there and went to greet him.

Karna : Pranipat Mitra Chitrasen.

Chitrasen : Pranipat Mitra Karna.

Karna : You are here, how?

Chitrasen : Why you don't want me in your wedding, Mitra.

Karna : You know that is not what I mean Mitra.

Chitrasen : Yes yes, don't worry we came here on order of Devguru brihaspati. He told us to come here and help decorating the place for your mairrage.

Karna : Gurudev didn't come.

Chitrasen : Oh he will come don't worry you will see him in your wedding. Now go I have lot of work to do and there is very less time mahurat is in evening.

Karna : Fine Mitra.

Karna left and was going to hut but was stopped and told he wasn't allowed in here before ceremony a other temperory house was prepared for him. He smiled and went to that house. Upon reaching the house he saw Shukracharya and Parshuram there. He immediately went and touched their feet.

Karna : Pranipat. Gurudev.

Both : Kalyan ho Putra.

Bhagwan Parshuram : Karna, I have invited Shukracharya to get you ready vand do rituals for groom with Adhiratha.

Karna : I am happy that you came gurudev. I was planning to go to patallok with Vrushali to get your blessings.

Shukracharya : Putra, you are welcome there any time. Bhagwan Parshuram invited me and there was no chance I wouldn't have come to be part of Sush big ocassion of my Disciple. Now let's go there are several rituals needed to be done.

Shukracharya took karna in a chamber where first karna took bath and changed. He wore white Dhoti only. After that the ceremony of haldi was done. Adhiratha and Shukracharya was over seeing the ceremony and Gandharvs did the ceremony. The rituals took around noon to complete. Then karna bathe with milk first then with water. After that Shukracharya himself performed several rituals till sunset and they all did their pooja after that. Then Shukracharya took Karna to a chamber where his dress, ornaments and other things were prepared for him. He told karna to change and after that he personally did his shringar and made him ready.

With Vrushali

Vrushali woke up and did her pooja and then mata Dharini and Radha came. They took her to house created for ceremony of bride. They told hertake bath after that the mehndi ceremony was done. Two hours later an Apsara came with haldi that was sent from groom and then the haldi ceremony took place. After ceremony she too was bathed with milk and water. After that she was escorted to chamber wher her dress and jwellery were laid. She changed into the dress and Mata Dharini personally did her shrinagar.

Now.

Everything was arranged and groom was called. Karna came there and saw his gurudev brihaspati, himself will be performing the ceremony. He went ahead and touched his feet. Brihaspati blessed him. Around the mandap various Gandharvs were playing music and singing and apsaras were dancing. They all looked at karna. Karna was looking very handsome today. Everyone has seen him commoner clothing before, he was attractive before too but today when he was especially prepared by Shukracharya his looks more handsome dare to even say more handsome than Gandharvs who are known for their beauty. To day karna wore a black shervani with golden threading and white Dhoti beneath it. He wore light golden jwellery with blue gems in it.

Soon brihaspati called the brride and Vrushali came with Radha and Dharini along with some of most Known apsara of swarg like urvashi and others. But she was center of attraction there. He beauty shadowed Even the apsaras. Karna was staring her he ha seen only in her warrior and commoner clothes but today in her lenga her beauty, temperament and grace was truly otherworldly. He knew she was very beautiful but seeing her like this has truly left him speechless and stunned. She wore Red lehnga with golden embroidery on it. She wore golden jwellery with red gems on it. Karna trance was broken when she came besides him.

They both sat down and sacred fire was lighted up by Devguru brihaspati. He did various rituals and then the time of kanyadaan came. Vrushali was worried for this only as she was orphan and Adhiratha was father of karna so he couldn't perform that but suddenly she felt her hands lifted she turned and saw Bhagwan Parshuram was there and he was doing kanyadaan for her. He smiled and nodded, Vrushali who has tears of sadness in her eyes suddenly was overwhelmed and it was replaced by tears of joy. She couldn't believe that this was happening. By doing so Bhagwan Parshuram has basically declared the she was his daughter. She was happy that her Gurumaa and gurupita became her mothe and father. Not only her but everyone was happy for both Vrushali and Parshuram couple. Kanyadaan was done and then the seven phere were done and Devguru declared the ceremony was over.

Newly weds then proceeded to take blessings of elders present there. They first went to Bhagwan Parshuram and Dharini. They touched their feet.

Divine couple : Stay blessed and happily married.

Parshuram : Putri, I bless you that you will achieve what ever you want to achieve. Send your first born to me I promise I will be his guru too.

Dharini : Putra karna take care of my daughter.

Karna and Vrushali then went to Radha and Adhiratha.

Old couple : Sada suki raho bachho.

Adhiratha : Karna always respect puti Vrushali.

Radha : Putri take care of my Radhey, have patience with him.

Newly weds then went to Asurguru.

Shukracharya : Stay blessed. Karna always stay truthful in your mairrage. You too Putri Vrushali. I have nothing else to give to karna but Putri Vrushali I bless you that no maya or black magic will ever affect you.

They then went to Devguru Brihaspati.

Brihaspati : Safa suhagan raho, Putravati bhava. Putra Karna you are going to begin new life always remember duties come before rights. Putri I bless you your children will be formidable warrior and righteous.

Karna and Vrushali then went to every Gandharvs and apsara to take their blessings and then finally came to Chitrasen. Chitrasen hugged Karna and

Chitrasen : Bhabhishree I give you the astra of Gandharvs. I bless you for happy mairrage.

And like this the mairrage was truly over. Vrushali was guided by apsara to the nuptial chamber. The chamber was decorated beautifully and a lage bed was in the room which was decorated with rose petals. They sat her I'm middle of bed and a glass of milk was there besides the bed on table. Karna came to chamber after sometime, he was bidding farewell to everyone that came to his wedding. All the guests had already left. He saw Vrushali was sitting there on the bed he came to bed. He asked her permission and lifted her gunghat. He raised her chin gently and their eyes met. Both smiled, they don't need words to exchange their feelings and words just a look was enough. They happily proceeded to become one and like this they started newlife.
