Hastinapur's group was returning to their kingdom, Kunti who was unconscious regained her conciousness. When everyone asked abou her heath she replied she was fine since then the journey was quiet but there were two people who were enjoying the silence very much. First was Shakuni he was immensely happy because of the humiliation Hastinapur has faced in Brahmnagri. He was regretting the fact he got to know about Karna so late if he had slightest idea of what he was capable before he would have used any method to make him come to his side. He regretted overlooking such a gem. But what is done can't be changed. He knew Karna would never came on his side because of his promise to his parents after all he was ready to kill Ashwatthama after he tried to shoot arrow at his mother. He sighed but he was extremely pleased seeing the expression of Bheeshma.

The other person was happy was none other Duryodhana he was too pleased by the humiliating defeat of Pandavas. Seeing Arjun's arrogance and pride shatter was most pleasing to him. He sighed at loosing his chance to be with fighter of such calibre. He was student of both gurudrona and Haldhar Balram but he still lost in just one exchange. He wasn't angry at his defeat but way too impressed with valour of Karna. The words he said to him was truly from his heart. He really never cared about anything about caste or what not. He now truly wished if he has taken some measure against Yudhishthir when he punished Karna even just because of his jeolousy things would have been much different.

Not only these two but various other person are also thinking about what happened in Brahmnagri. Bheeshma was one of them. He was angry at Drona and Pandavas because of their over confidence and arrogance Hastinapur is now joke in front of entire Aaryavrat. He could help but think about Karna. Since the first time he saw the son of Adhiratha he has suspicions that he was different from others he have ever encountered. His physique was always of well trained fighter but it was his body language that threw him off. But to think that he was his own Gurubhrata and add to that Gurudev himself consider him as his best student. As student of Bhagwan Parshuram he was also familiar to him and Mata Dharini. But he never saw such love and pride in gurudev or Gurumaa eyes for him. He saw not only a teacher's pride in them but they were proud as if a father was watching his son show the world what he was capable of. Just hearing Gurudev accepting the challenge of Drona he knew Their defeat was set on stone. His gurudev would never praised Karna if he wasn't capable. But he was surprised to witness Karna in action. His knowledge about Dharm, medicine was truly immense and his valour was terrifying. Other may not have noticed it but he clearly saw in Karna didn't move from his spot when he defeated Arjun. It was something he himself was not sure he can achieve. Dronacharya declaration of Arjun being best archer wasn't just words, facing Gandiv wielding Arjun was really not easy ant to think his Gurubhrata karna defeated him using a wooden bow. He couldn't express his shock when he saw Karna wielding Vijaya bow, to think gurudev has given him that bow. He knew about that bow just to use it one has to master all five methods of Archery which even he or Drona couldn't learn from Gurudev. His Kavach and kundals were shocking and astounding. It has symbol of lord Surya in it and it was magically appeared from his skin. Seeing that he became sure his youngest Gurubhrata was not an ordinary mortal he decided to meet his Mata and ask her about everything about Karna as soon as he got chance. He knew their return and upcoming days will not be good for Hastinapur.

Dronacharya was also thinking everything happened. He thinks that nothing but injustice was done to him. First his right to teach was snatched from him, he was shocked but accepted it because he always believed that he has already completed his role as teacher to prove it he challenged his gurudev to show him the difference between a petty suta and his own kshatriya students but he never thought not even in his dream that his six students and his son will loose against a petty suta couple. Everything happened was like nightmare to him. First Yudhishthir lost his debate which was impossible but he kept his silence because it was decision of sages then Nakul lost after that Sahdev surrendered because of his maun. Next was the duels which he was sure to wim but again he was proven wrong. That petty suta who should have never held weapons in first place defeated his every student, the broken condition of Arjun after the defeat was too much for him. He truly cared for Arjun more than his son Ashwatthama, seeing him like this made something snap inside him and and he used vaisnavastra to kill the one responsible for all this. But he wasn't successful and after that what happened was something nobody would ever have imagined he was cursed thrice. His knowledge as Brahman left him, he forgot the mantras of tridevs astra and he was cursed to die because of his students. He became nothing but he still thought injustice has happened to him.

Ashwatthama was another person that was very much angry at what happened. He has gotten all the Astra/Sastra knowledge from his father except tridevs. His father has told him that he will give him these knowledge when he will be capable enough but till now he hasn't proved his capabilities and now his father has himself forgotten the knowledge of them. He was enjoying the humiliating defeat of father but seeing him getting cursed truly angered him he couldn't do anything to bhagwan parshuram and Mata Dharini so he decided to kill mother of Karna but he was so scared when he saw the true anger of Karna he was truly scared. When karna lifted his hand and the divine bow appeared in his hands he saw the scene of his gruesome death. Ashwatthama loved his life more than anything else for him that moment was truly scary.

Kripacharya was no thinking about Brahmnagri but he was thinking about what will be results of this incident. Will it cause tension at borders of Brahmnagri and Hastinapur. He saw the might of King and Queen of Brahmnagri but unlike others he also remembered 10 other warrior who defeated 20 Kings and their army. Not only that but several Rakshas, nag, Yaksh were also citizens of Brahmnagri he wasn't sure Hastinapur would win if war will break out because of such situations.

Pandavas except Sahdev wasn't in condition to think anything except their defeat in hands of Karna. They couldn't believe that they the Devputra was defeated by a mere suta, so what he was student of Bhagwan Parshuram they too were students of Dronacharya. They were not ready to believe anything happened in Brahmnagri. They were confident that Karna won because of hr got help from Rakshas and their Maya which affected everyone and they lost because of such backhand other wise who could defeat Arjun or physically fight Bheem and came on top. But they were surprised to see Vijaya bow in hands of Karna. They clearly remembered everything lord Vishwakarma told them about that most powerful bow to think that Bhagwan Parshuram has given it to a petty suta who isn't worthy of it. They were sure of Karna cheating in all the competition. Thinking that they hate Karna even more. To think that that Adharmi tricked them and cheated them. They had eo do something to wash their shame, they have decided to prepare and do rajsuya yagna as soon as possible. With that they will once again face that Suta but this time the results will be different, they will kill him in battlefield irrespective of what bow he has. For them breathing the same air which Karna breathes became suffocating. They won't rest until they can kill him or break his spirit. They will show him what would Pandavas truly capable of when all five brothers fight as one. That petty Suta and his arrogant family and kingdom has to face wrath of Panduputra. Sahdev couldn't help but think are these really his brothers who are righteous if yes then why are they behaving like that. Now he can't see resemblence of human in them let alone righteous people. They are behaving like Daitya.

Draupadi was another person who was person who was very angry at Karna, she has already blamed him for everything wrong happened with her. But now seeing him defeating Her husbands her hate for his reached equalling Pandavas. She hate his existence, since she came to know him nothing good ever happened to her. First she was forced to marry him but thankfully her other husbands protected her, then he left which was actually relief for her but after that her husbands became distant not only that they married again. This deeply hurted her but she still remains strong and accepted that. But slowly slowly love and adoration of her husbands was lost inspite of being queen of Indraprastha she didn't have love of her husbands, she did all her duties but still got nothing in return. She longed for love more than anything else, seeing love and protection Karna has for Vrushali made her hate both of them. She saw how Karna was quietly listening to everything till someone decide to say against Vrushali only then he took out his weapon. She can see his love for her with just this and was jeolous. She not only hate Karna but Vrushali too. Vrushali is undoubtedly beautiful than her, she is strong too, the way she had swords on Arjun's neck was testament to that, she was student of Mata Dharini and adopted daughter of Bhagwan Parshuram and Mata Parvati. She has everything she has and even more she is alo queen of beautiful kingdom, she has a family and husband that loves and care for her. It was destiny has chosen her to mock Draupadi only.

There was another woman who was distressed about everything but her concern was completely different from others. She was unable to picke he one emotions to express her feelings of what happened in Brahmnagri. She was none other than Kunti who since regained her conciousness was thinking about Karna only. She was angry bloke others at him until his Kavach showed up. When she saw that she couldn't handle her shock and fainted. When she woke up she was already out of borders of Brahmnagri. Physically may be but mentally she was still thinking of moment Kavach appeared on Karna. The memories of her giving birth to him rushed to her. How after getting boon in her curiosity has evoked suryadev who gave her his son, how she abandoned him river Ganga few hours after his birth. She still remember how tightly he held her index fingers when she was placing him in the basket as if pleading her to not let go of him. But she did because she has to save her father's reputation. How after her deed she missed her eldest son and cried. There was no prayer in which she didn't pray for his well being and happy life. But niyati once again played a cruel game with her, her son which should get all her love and adoration became her servant and one who punished him was none other than his own younger brother. She remembers everything she and her family did to his eldest son. They have mocked, insulted and humiliated him. They even used him to fulfill their hunger by leeching of on his hard earned money. They all did nothing but used him and threw him like he was nothing the moment they didn't need him. She remembered her own words which she said when he married Draupadi because of her words. She has heard what happened after she fainted and she wasn't pleased with it. She heard how Karna was going to kill Ashwatthama and for it he even summoned Vijay bow, he didn't even listen to krishna and was ready to face Mahadev to kill Ashwatthama but just few words of Radha was enough to let him lower his weapon and let him go. From this anyone could guess status of Radha in Karna's heart, it was crystal clear that her place was even greater than tridevs for Karna. But she didn't think Radha was worthy of getting such devotion from her son, she was as Karna's mother she held him 9 n her womb for nine months, she gave her life. Karna was her son and she wanted to accept him as such but practical part of her was telling her to not to because it will create problems for her and her other five children. She can see and feel how much her sons except Sahdev loathed Karna. How much hate they had for him. She knew if she tell them they will channel that hate from Karna to her even Sahdev will do that. Not only that but her own reputation will be tarnished along with Pandavas. Karna who was already being mocked and insulted will be even more insulted. People will call him bastard and illegitimate. Not only him but everyone will question her character they will either call her characterless or heartless. Her other five son will also be implicated, their enemies will not let the opportunity go and will surely snatch their rights. She knew her son's will be doing rajsuya yagna soon and the Aaryavrat will never accept a Samrat whose has an illegitimate elder brother. So once again she will keep quiet for her legitimate children love je when she was when Radha came to her to help Karna. She couldn't help feel helpless against the cruelty of niyati. She who has six divine children who should always be together and live happily. She knew together they can win all three loks but because of her one mistake her eldest has to live life of struggle and his own brother now hate him. She was having mixed emotions on one side she was jealous of Radha having such love and respect of her son and on the other hand she can't even accept him as her son. She just wanted to cry.

They all reached the palace of Hastinapur.
