Das Arjuna is extremely busy. He is busy, tired and a Das. So really, he has no choice but to be busy and tired. He has to keep on going since he is under his Swamis orders. He is on an important quest.
He is collecting bows of different shapes and sizes with diverse features for his Swami. His Swami is a big fan of bows and it is not like he needs them, he just wants his own personal collection so there is that.
His swami doesn't need this divine bows to prove his might, his knowledge of Archery is enough to prove his mightiness, he doesn't need a bow for that like seriously, who even needs a bow for archery? Only fools with zero knowledge of it. Umm .. Bow? Archery? (Oh wait!) And his Swami doesn't approve of using divine weapons or divine protection armors or (oh wait! Again!).
So anyways, for now he has some really interesting looking bows from Yamdeva, Lord Shiva, Kuvera, Yaudeva and many more. After all he has been asked to collect more than 300 million bows from 300 million different deities. For now, he has only been able to collect 150 million.
He is ashamed of himself, really. He thought that he should send these 150 million to his Swami for now and then collect the rest and take them all to him. But where will be the fun in that. He will make sure that he has more than 300 million bows with him, only then will he show his face to his Swami.
Swami must be so angry that he didn't complete his task by now, he has been planning to build this big chamber for his bow collection, like a bow museum in Anga, ... Champa? Chameli? Malini? Or was it Hastinapur? Arjun has been away for so long that he doesn't remember anymore but he is sure that he said his goodbyes to his Swami in Hastinapur only. His swami runs all his kingdoms with Hastinapur as his base.
Such a shame really, because if the Bow museum was built in Angaa or Champa or one of the many kingdoms it would have served as a way of capital income for the Kingdom. It would become a hot tourist spot for Aryawrattha.
They would put all these bows with the names of their gods from which it was acquired. This bow from Lord Siva, a Highly advanced and improved bow with invisible arrows attached to it that the bow shoots out every time it is activated with its secret code: SAMARTHYA. Say the word and see the magic. Now, only if he could convince his swaami to not say the word around the bow. Hard! but not impossible.This one will be the show stopper in the centre of the chamber with other main attractions being the 8 bows from the 8 Adityas, one made of pure diamond and platinum while the other seven are of the color of the 7 different colors of the rainbow.
The one obtained by Kaamdeva is deep read with ruby studded all over it and in the shape of a heart. The one given by Kubera is so shiny that he had to wrap it up in a cloth so that he won't go blind just by looking at its shine, the Yakshas, attendants of Kubera took pity on him and gave him several other bows, shoot an arrow from them and it starts raining silver, diamond and gold like nobody's business.
Another great tool for obtaining money for the poor people of the Kingdom, Alas, and his Swaami won't use it. No Divine Bow Use Policy and all. And for a moment Arjun feels sad and vindictive, so much work and facing all these snippy haughty gods with their noses in Vaikunth and all for nothing.
His hard work, the physical proof it, all put in a chamber to be admired by the tourists and drooled over by the archers. The bow obtained from garuda is black and smooth as granite with a big vultures carved on both the ends, it is truly menacing, shoot any arrow from it and turns into a vulture that won't stop following you till the day you die and it gets to eat your flesh, better just give up and let it be.
Goddess Annapurna was endeared by him and she has given him a bow which would start a rain of wheat, rice and pulse every time an arrow is shot from it towards heaven. No one will be hungry in this world only if his swami would use it.
But No! Just NO! he won't god damn it. He is tempted to find a good man with his heart in the right place who he would give this bow to so that he would go in all the kingdoms and start raining food grains. But he is a Das and he can't disobey his Swami.He is sure he has that bow from Kamdhenu somewhere that rains milk and is chalk white in color.
The Rudras were nice enough to give him 8 bows each and his own Father contributed for the collection, the bow starts a heavy snowfall which is unheard of in Aryawrattha. Shoot someone and they freeze and break into millions of tiny pieces. He just knows. It is not like he ever used it ... Much.
After Arjuna collected 250 million Bows, he couldn't help himself. He was growing antsy so he decided that these 250 million bows were to be sent to his swami right away. But how?
So he went to meet his Best buddy Madhav who just smiled serenely at him and said that he should ask the God of oceans for another bow, the arrows shot from it becomes giant bubbles which helps in transportation of heavy goods from one place to another. Arjuna liked the idea very much so he hugged his friend goodbye went to do penances and meditated upon the ocean God.
After obtaining this bow, he put all the other bows down in a pile which frankly looked like a fat and tall tower of bad architecture but best material, all shiny and glittery. He shot an arrow at the pile, which turned into a big bubble containing the pile, Arjun told it to go find his Swami who is probably in Hastinapur and give him the surprise of his life.
Sometime later when Arjuna returned to Hastinapur with other 50 million bows he found the pile of Bows lying in the backyard of the Palace, people looking at it with anxiousness. He did not see his swami anywhere so he asked one of the guards as to what was happening and why wasn't his swami here to look after this precious collection of bows?
"Oh but Princ- I mean Slave Arjun, one day he was standing in the backyard looking at the dawning sun when a loud voice in the skies shouted, "SURPRISE!", and this whole pile just dropped from the heaven on him, literally raining bows on the great warrior, he is still working his way out of it. Since the collision with the ground was so horrifying it has created a very big hole in the backyard."
"So why aren't you all helping? You have a big Army and so many soldiers, just get him out."
"Oh but he told us that we are not allowed to touch any of the bows till he himself touches them and that he is Samarthya enough, we are not to help him."
Duryodhna comes from behind and shouts,"das Arjun! How dare you do this to my friend you rascal! You did this on purpose! Now go and get him out of it you! You have already touched the bows anyway!"
Arjuns scowls, "Swami Duryodhna! Asambhav! How dare you suggest such a disguising thing? A das helping your friend? How dare you suggest he is incapable of getting out of it himself! Huh?Unhone bas kuch samay ke liye apni Swatantrata khoi hai, Apna Samarthya nahi.'
"You bratty little-"
"Swami Prassan Ho! Shubhratri!"
