Some funny exchanges and elaborate pranks of the Krishna-Arjuna duo, and the Pandavas.
In the Virata Parva, the Pandavs and Paanchali are ready to disguise themselves as cowherds, music teacher, hair stylists and what not.When Arjuna comes in front of the Pandavas, adorned with red clothes of a woman, wearing heavy jewelry and a long braided hair that go down his waist.
As expected, everyone is stuck with wonder and bafflement. Nakula, first recovering from the shock of seeing his brother in this form goes and takes a closer look going around Arjuna and comments.
"We should just go on war with the Kauravas, i think."
Others give him funny looks of confusion.
"I mean, just imagine, we will take brother Arjuna like this and make him go and stand in front of Duryodhana, all the problems will be solved. Duryodhan to haste haste hi mar jayega,fir hume kuch karna hi nahi padega, hum yudh aise hi jeet jayenge, aur sara shreya bhrata Arjuna ko jayega"
Everyone laughs with Nakula while Arjuna smiles gently, apni choti ko peeche fekte hue and "thumakte thumakte" he leaves for Viratas Palace making his brothers and wife laugh even harder.🤣
...
In Dwarka, Balram was talking a walk down the road to their Palace. He found a Saint sitting under a tree, after reflecting for some time he decided that it was his duty to pay his respects to a Brahman.
He greets the Brahman respectfully and takes him into his Palace. There Krishna was waiting for his elder brothers Return.Balrama tells Krishna about find the Brahmin under the tree and bringing him to Krishna for the "Aadar-Satkaar" and tells Krishna that the Brahmin should live them for some time.
At this, Krishna eyes the Brahmin doubtfully and narrows his eyes. " Jeshth, How can we let a stranger live in the same Palace where our younger sister Lives, I do not trust this Brahmin?"
At this Balrama starts protesting and reminds Krishna of their duties, So Krishna gives his permission but warns Balrama. " If something happens, it would all be on you."
So Balrama takes the Brahmin to a quarter for him to stay and then after taking care of all the basic needs for the Brahmin, takes his leave.
At night, Krishna comes in the Brahmins chamber, both the brahmin and Krishna come closer and stare at each other for a long time after which ...
They burst into loud giggles, laughing helplessly like little kids and embracing each other with tears of joy. These two best of friends, the eternal soulmates after not having seen each other for such a long time, cant get enough of staring and holding each other tightly as if their lives depend on it.
Now any guesses, who is the Brahmin?🤣 Swayam Vichaar Kijiye.🤣🤣
Yes, its Subhadras future husband. They both talk through out the night, both lying in the bed while Krishna asks all the questions about the last eleven years of Arjunas exile that he spent travelling all around the world. " Oh beloved friend, wont you tell me about the waterfalls and mountains you saw, the people you met and the cultures you experienced?"
Hence, Arjuna spends the whole night talking about his 11 years of travel while Krishna listens to it all with wonder and eagerness on his face, as if he is not the one who has created the mountains, the falls, these people and everything. 😆
After this, Arjuna spends a year in Dwarka, Krishna shows him every spot of bliss around his golden city. The forests, the different palaces in the deep of the forest, the city markets and everything they could see while still mainting Arjunas disguise as a Brahmin.
After a year, Balrama is about to marry off Subhadra to his favorite student, Duryodhana.ðŸ˜
Krishna, knowing that Arjuna has feels for Subhadra tells Arjuna to go and abduct his own little sister.😆 That is just how much he loved Arjuna that he helped him in every way he could so that he could kidnap Subhadra and get married to her.🤣 Jaisi sangati me raho ge waise hi banoge.😆
Arjuna is bewildered, "what are you saying Krishna, your elder brother would have my head for this. the whole yadav race would want me dead. Maybe i should just go and talk to Subhadra"
"Just do it Partha. In this way Brother Balrams dignity will be intact since he cant do anything if his sister is kidnapped.Since he has promised Subhadra to Duryodhan and we cant go back on our promises, Her abduction is the only way to keep us all happy, You will get to marry her, Balrama would be blameless and Subhadra will have you."
"And do not go and consult my sister. Womans heart is too complicatedto be understood, who knows what she will do? She has feelings for you but she loves her brothers too much to let them break their promise for her sake.She would not want to taint the Yadav pride. Go Partha, do you not trust me?"
Arjuna hearing this, smiles and is already gearing up with his weapons and chariot as an answer to Krishnas last question.
Krishna laughs at this and says " Make her be your charioteer. It symbolizes that she is running away with her own consent and not being forced."
Now this, makes Arjuna laugh dumbstruck with wonder and bewilderment, " Oh God, Keshava, the things you make me do. Balrama is going to kill us for this."
After embracing and wishing luck to each other, Krishna sends Arjuna off.
After the deed is done, Duryodhn goes away with anger and embarrassment in his heart, and the whole Yadav Clan is fuming with anger and anxiety, fighting among each other for letting this happen.
Balram shouts "Shut Up. Sht up all of you. We are here fighting among ourselves but where is that Krishna"
Balrama goes looking for Krishna and finds him sitting in his chamber with a smile on his face, playing with dice.
" Krishna, look what has happened, look what that wretched Brahman did and instead of giving us a solution,You are sitting here so Calmly playing with dice."
To this, Krishna bursts into loud laughter and cant seem to stop himself.
He gives Balrama a mischievous glance, "Jeshta, did not i tell you not to being that Brahmin here.I didnt trust that Brahmin from the start.Meri baat sunte to aaj ye din nahi dekhna padta hame."
And with this Krishna starts leaving to bring Arjuna and Subhadra back, " I will go and bring our Arjuna and his new wife back."
Balramas eyes go wide, he exclaimed with shock " Arjuna? our Arjuna?". When Krishna just stares at him ... he shakes his head, " He Krishna ... ye mera anuj, iska mai kya karunga?"
Krishna hops on his chariot and goes laughing his merry-way, while the whole of Yadav clan outside the Palace stare at him. They see Balrama coming out of the palace, still shaking his head with shocked wonder. So they ask the elder brother with reluctant amusement in their voice" Ab aapke priyah Anuj ne kya kannd kiya?"
With all this, Krishna also had fun making a fool out of the poor Duryodhan. Bechare ko Krishna ne apni Baraat wapas lejane par majbut kar diya.🤣🤣
