Everyone of traveling group reached the palace after journey of two days. They were welcomed by bhanumati and with this everyone entered and they were informed that a Sabha was already being arranged. Everyone sighed and went to Sabha. Males took their seat while females went to balcony. Dhritrashtra was already present there with Vidhur sa asoon as they took their seat the sabha begin.

Dhritrashtra : Tatshree did Samrat of Brahmnagri accepted our alliance.

There was silence in the entire sabha, Vidhur who have seen everyone knew something was very wrong. This simple question questions had extreme reaction in sabha. Bheeshma and kripacharya sighed, Duryodhana and Shakuni was happy. Pandavas except Sahdev has extreme reaction, they clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. Dhritrashtra though can't see but he too felt the change of atmosphere.

Dhritrashtra : What happened? Why is everyone quiet? Did you not meet with Samrat?

Bheeshma : Maharaj we saw the King of Brahmnagri.

Dhritrashtra : Who is he? What is his name Tatshree?

Bheeshma : He is someone we all know Maharaj. He is none other than son of my ex- Charioteer Adhiratha, he is none other than Radhey Karna.

There was silence in the sabha only the voice of gritted teeth was heard. Vidhur has widened his eyes remembering who Bheeshma was talking about, Dhritarashtra who have clearly no clue who Bheeshma was talking about as a charioteer was not someone who ever cared for.

Dhritrashtra : Who?

Bheeshma : He was one who became Charioteer of Arjun after Kala Pradarshan, the one who was punished by Yudhishthir to be Charioteer of Pandavas for three years.

Dhritrashtra (shocked) : How did he became the king of Brahmnagri then.

Bheeshma (sighed) : That I don't know Maharaj.

Dhritrashtra : How is this possible? How could a suta became king?

Duryodhana : Pitashree, he is not just suta but a mighty warrior.

Shakuni : Yes Maharaj, my dear nephew is correct. Radhey Karna is great warrior and why he should not be afterall he is student of Bhagwan Parshuram and Gurubhrata of Mahamahim Gangaputr Bheeshma in fact Bhagwan Parshuram himself declared him as his best student among all.

Vidhur : What are you saying Ghandhar raj?

Shakuni : Truth mahamantri Vidhur, I am speaking truth only. He is really student of Bhagwan Parshuram and not only Bhagwan Parshuram accept him as his best student but he also gave him His mighty bow Vijaya.

Vidhur : Is this true Tatshree.

Bheeshma : Yes Vidhur it is truth, gurudev consider him as his best student and he gave him Vijaya.

Vidhur : How is this possible Tatshree, you told me that Vijaya is most powerful bow and to even wield Vijaya you need to master all five methods of Archery. Not even you or Dronacharya has ever learned let alone master all five methods, only Bhagwan Parshuram and Mahadev himself are master of that.

Bheeshma : I know Vidhur we have seen Karna wielding Vijaya, it seems that Karna too has mastered five methods of Archery no wonder gurudev consider him as his best student.

Everyone was once again silent they couldn't believe what was just told to them especially the archers present there i.e. Ashwatthama and Arjun who was unaware of conditions to use Vijaya.

Dhritrashtra : Tatshree, how have you seen it. What has actually happened in Brahmnagri. Please tell us everything.

Bheeshma sighed and told the sabha what all . He told them about Brahmnagri itself and it's subjects. He was going to continue but was interrupted by Vidhur.

Vidhur : So not only the kingdom was created by Brahamdev, but this magical kingdom was gifted to him too and Rakshas, Yaksh, nag live there in harmony with humans.

Dhritrashtra : Not only that, the king of Brahmnagri Karna is warrior of such calibre. Even his wife Vrushali who previously lived in Hastinapur is student of Mata Dharini and adopted daughter of Bhagwan and Parshuram.

Bheeshma : Yes Maharaj, it seems she left Hastinapur with Adhiratha and Radha. I believe after they leave here they had gone to Mahendragiri where gurudev and Gurumata have accepted them on request of Karna and there they became student of Gurumata.

Dhritrashtra : Please continue Tatshree.

After the interruption Bheeshma told them about what happened in guest hall. How Bheem deliberately provoked Karna and how Vrushali replied back.

Dhritrashtra : Bheem are you an idiot, why did you provoked them, even if he woul have been ordinary suta before now he is king of your one of the most powerful kingdom of Aaryavrat. Why did you have to go and insult him. Didn't you heard I especially asked to form alliance with them not to cause war with them.

Bheem was already angry getting rebuked again he couldn't keep quiet.

Bheem ; Tatshree he is nothing but petty suta why did we have to form alliance with him.

Everyone heard him some even agreed with him as always as he was Devputra. Kunti clenched her fists hearing that. Duryodhana laughed openly in the Sabha.

Duryodhana : A petty suta? Did you forget how did he lifted you up the ground with one hand while grabbing you throat where you were struggling to breathe or how helpless you were and wasn't able to free your self from his grasp. If he is just petty suta them I would much prefer my army has only suta.

Bheem clenched his hands remembering his humiliation.

Bheem : Duryodhana......

Dhritrashtra : Quiet you both. Tatshree is what is Duryodhana speaking. Why did that happened did Karna and Bheem had duel.

Bheeshma : Not only Bheem but all Pandavas and Ashwatthama too had duel with him.

Vidhur : But why Tatshree?

Bheeshma then explained what happened, entry of Bhagwan Parshuram, Drona's challenge, then defeat of Yudhishthir, Nakul in debate, surrender of Sahdev, then defeat of everyone in duel agaist Karna and Vrushali in one match. Then he told them how Drona's used of vaisnavastra to kill Karna but karna was safe instead he himself got cursed by Bhagwan Parshuram, Mata Dharini and Radha. He told them about his kavach and kundals After that he told them how Ashwatthama tried to kill Radha in anger but karna got angry and summoned Vijaya to kill him but fortunately Radha stopped him.

Entire sabha was silent. Priyamada who came besides Kunti too heard everything hearing about Kavach and kundals she turned and saw Kunti who was shedding a silent tear. She gasped at that she knew very well what they represent and signify. Entire sabha was silent then suddenly Dhritarashtra slammed his hands on his hand rest of his throne. His facial expressions was enough to tell how angry and distributed he was, not only him by Vidhur who was standing beside him was also shocked hearing everything.

Dhritrashtra : let me get everything straight, you all went to Brahmnagri to form alliance but seeing the former Charioteer of Arjun as king there Bheem insulted him then his wife returned the courtesy. Pandavas didn't stop there as clearly the humiliation they brought upon themselves and Hastinapur was not enough. The kings present ther tried to attack royal family of Brahmnagri then suddenly Bhagwan Parshuram and Mata Dharini came and even after Bhagwan Parshuram killed three kings and told Karna and Vrushali was their students respectively. Droncharya refused to accept him as his Gurubhrata causing Bhagwan Parshuram to snatch away his rights as teacher. Even after everything happened Drona still challenged Bhagwan Parshuram for various competitions. The competition where Dronacharya pitted Karna against his students who are clearly master of subject of competition and even then they still lost. And after that the whole mess increased because of Dronacharya and Ashwatthama and it come to situation where Karna was going to kill Ashwatthama but thankfully he didn't because of his mother and after that you were asked to leave Brahmnagri after being thoroughly humiliated and insulted. I am right so far.

The entire sabha was quiet as Dhritarashtra said essence of everything happened. Though his voice was clam but everyone could feel the hidden anger in it.

Dhritrashtra : Answer me am I right.

Kripacharya : Yes Maharaj. You are right.

Dhritrashtra : Tatshree Kulguru you were also there why didn't you Stop this. Now Hastinapur will become joke, what would people of Aaryavrat would say seven mighty warrior students of Dronacharya couldn't defeat Just one person.

Bheem : Tatshree that suta must have cheated, he must have used his Rakshas to do Maya. It must be because of that we lost other wise that suta could never defeat us

Everyone once again thought about this possibility. Most of people were agreeing with his logic only Bheeshma, kripacharya, and Sahdev knew that wasn't the case. Duryodhana too was against it but before he could say anything Ashwatthama interrupted him.

Ashwatthama : Yes, Bheem is correct Maharaj.

Duryodhana kept quiet for his friend. He knew what happened in Brahmnagri was too much for his friend.

Dhritrashtra (angrily) : All that doesn't matter now, you lost and people will know and spread that. We will be lucky if Brahmnagri didn't start war because of this.

Arjun : Tatshree don't worry we have caused this so we will solve it.

Dhritrashtra : How Arjun, just how will you change the perspective of entire Aaryavrat.

Arjun : By doing Rajsuya yagna Tatshree. I swear on my jyeshtha that I will personally go and win several kingdom and make him true Chakrabarti Samrat. Karna is fake Samrat but I will make my brother true Samrat and after that we will see who dare to make joke about us. After he becomes samrat we will attach Brahmnagri.

Everyone was again shocked hearing this, this was a feasible method to regain the their lost reputation and honour. Dhritrashtra thought about it and agreed because in this way Hastinapur would not have to sour it's relations with Brahmnagri though Indraprastha will become independent but it was a small price to pay and since they have family relationship with Pandavas, they would just have to show their support to them and Pandavas will never attack Hastinapur because of their relationship. Seeing all the benifits and little loss he said.

Dhritrashtra : Fine Arjun, do what you want. My blessings is with you.

Duryodhana wanted to speak against it but Shakuni hold him and signalled him to let whatever is happening happen. Duryodhana begrudgingly accepted it since he know his father and uncle must have some plans. Pandavas then got blessings of every one and decided to leave for Indraprastha as arjun will have to do preparation. For rajsuya yagna to happen he would have to win atleast 100 small and big kingdom so that Yudhishthir can be Chakrabarti Samrat. Pandavas with Draupadi left for Indraprastha while other wives of Pandavas returned to their parents' kingdom.

The news of what happened in Brahmnagri spread like wild fire and even the children of Aaryavrat knew about it. As expected Hastinapur especially Pandavas became joke. People began mocking them especially Arjun saying it must be great to be Devputra as it gives you right to make men more powerful than them a Charioteer. People were talking about that incidents only. The reputation of Brahmnagri sky rocketed. It also lead karna to become hero of lower caste people and villan for upper caste. Common people think him as their own and praised him openly, upper caste though irritated but couldn't do anything because of fear of Vanquisher of evil forces. Because of Karna's effort life of common people became comparatively smoother.

Pandav came to Indraprastha and Arjun immediately decided to prepare for his journey to conquer various kingdom. In between the preparation Krishna came to Indraprastha with Subhadra. He came for two reasons first to safely escort Subhadra and second to get a feel of what Pandavas was like after the incidents. What he saw after coming was alarming to say the least. Yudhishthir became more adherent to his perceived Dharm after loosing to Karna as for him changing will mean truly accepting defeat which his pride wasn't allowing him. He was also practicing daily his weapon right. Bheem was constantly in practice area and practicing his combat style he was preparing for the next time he will meet Karna in battle, Arjun too like him was fanatically practicing his archery and trying to master four of five methods he knew about archery for both his upcoming battle and in his hope of defeating Karna. Nakul like his brother was engrossed in medical books and practising his swords as he was one who was most badly humiliated according to him as he lost to bith Karna and Vrushali. Sahdev too like his brother was increasing his knowledge and strength but unlike his brothers he didn't have motive other than improving himself. Krishna sighed seeing all this self improvement is good thing but comparison with a superior person will always result in feeling disappointment. He was even more worried thae the area these brother should improve were not the ones they were focusing on like true dharm, humility, compassion etc but seems like defeat in hand of karna has ignited the wrong spark in them.

Few months later news of Arjun winning several kingdom with his army too began spreading. This has led to people stop questioning Pandavas especially Arjun. Some upper caste also spread that what happened in Brahmnagri was nothing but rumour spread by lower caste to fell good about themselves. The constant news of Arjun victory was resounding through entire Aaryavrat.

While entire Aaryavrat was busy with various things, Brahmnagri was busy in celebration because news of Vrushali being pregnant was known to everyone, huge feast and donation camp was arranged in which entire Brahmnagri happily participated.

Soon nine months passed and Vrushali gave birth to a boy who was named as virshsen. The entire Brahmnagri was happy getting their prince and future heir of their kingdom. Karna and his family was happy too. They all became busy in his pampering and upbringing.in the meantime arjun was still busy in conquering the kingdom to make Yudhishthir Samrat.

Soon seven years passed

Arjun has conquered the required amount of kingdom to have Rajsuya yagna. He either conquered the kingdom or made treaties with them only Brahmnagri was left but he didn't come here because it was decided among Pandavas they all will be together when they will conquer this kingdom. But for now the rest kingdom were enough to make Yudhishthir Chakrabarti Samrat. He too returned to Indraprastha where his family was waiting for him. All Pandavas had their son either from Draupadi or their other wives even before Arjun went for his seven years of battle. But only their son with draupadi lived in Indraprastha. Arjun was informed that even Subhadra birthed him a son named Abhimanyu who was only six years old now. He was exited to meet his son for first time. He reached Indraprastha and was informed that Subhadra went to Dwarka since he left and was still there. He decided to delay more and meet her after Rajsuya yagna which was most imperent according him and his brothers except Sahdev.

Karna was also busy in his kingdom but he especially took time out for his family. Both him and Vrushali decided to have one child only so vrishsen was enough for them. They have decided to fully invest their time in raising him. They didn't want him to only accustomed with luxury of palace or feel he was special so from childhood they began to first make their child morally good person. Vrishsen was dear to everyone in the family, they all loved him very much especially Ghatotkach who was extremely excited to have younger brother. vrishsen too respect and love everyone. Being raised in Brahmnagri he was taught equality, compassion, righteousness from childhood. His childhood was always among his loved ones since he began speak and understanding things he became curious to everything around him. His thirst of knowledge increased as grew up. He was a child who will get restless until he get answers so he will ask anyone and everyone till their answers satisfied him. Like this sage Vasishta became his favourite person as he was clearly most knowledgeable. When he reached age four, to begin his education he was entered in gurukul of kingdom where every child of kingdom went. But he wasn't a ordinary child being born with various boon he was extremely intelligent so he completed his basic education in span of six months and after that sage Vasishta himself took him as his disciple. In three years he learn under sage Vasishta about various scriptures including vedas, puran, etc. At age of five Karna, Vrushali, Eklavya and Ghatotkach began his weapon training. He was trained in basics of all weapons but like his father he was interested in Archery. In these years Karna and Vrushali under disguise took vrishsen with them to live in forest and serve the commoners or sages all over Aaryavrat. They didn't want him to be like other pampered prince who is afraid of hardship. From childhood they have first tried to make him good person first other things later. Vrishsen has to earn everything he wants like for education they didn't directly aske their Kulguru to teach but first he has to get his basic education from gurukul first only after he proved himself did he get teacher like sage Vasishta. Karna and Vrushali were like sculptors who wanted to sculpt vrishsen slowly by chipping out his bad Habits. Karna always told his son to never fear hardship as it makes person better. Their efforts paid out as after seven years vrishsen was sensible child who can discriminate between right or wrong. Under guidance of sage Vasishta he became extremely knowledgeable but wisdom and experience was something that came with age so their son was naive but it doesn't mean anyone can fool him. At tender age of seven vrishsen has completed his education under sage Vasishta and know his way around all weapons. Under guidance of his father, mother uncle, brother he was good fighter. While karna and Vrushali was trying to make him good person other in the family made sure he enjoyed his childhood too. Like his father vrishsen was alo devotees of Suryadev but he was more inclined to wards lord Vishnu.
