Arjun took support of Krishna hearing those terrible words.He stammered in a broken voice." Madhav,
Abhi's son ! Am I that unfortunate that I have to live in memory of my grandson also?
Krishna took him closer and assured with moisture in his eyes." Be brave Parth. Everything will be fine. Let us go there first."
As they sped fast in the chariot the citizens wondered why the bosom friends looked too tense and cheerless.They stared at the chariot that looked like it is flying in the space.
Uttara is subconcious. She swooned after she realised what happened.
Subhadra sat by her side closing her face with Her palms. Panchali stood stupified looking at the beautiful face of the infant who is still and motionless.
Kunti wailed loudly blaming herself and her fate.
Yudhishtir,Bheem Nakul and Sahadev stood outside the chamber bending their heads and shedding tears. Krishna and Arjun appeared at the door and Yudhishtir said." Kanha see the mishap that Aswathama caused us . Brahmasir showed its effect.
Bheem muttered under his breath." That wretched fellow should have been imprisoned by us. We would have punished him more severely."
Nakul said desparately." What is the use Bhrata? The inevitable had happened."
Arjun approached Sahadev and shook his shoulders."Sahadev speak out.This is not the time to keep silence. What will happen now? Read your stars and tell Won't we have the good fortune to have our Abhi's kid with us?
As he uttered the last word he lost his balance and leaned on Sahadev. Krishna rushed fast and held Arjun in his hands.
The chamber door opened and Kunti brought the baby who is still and motionless to Krishma.
Nakul exclaimed." How beautiful he is. Looks just like Abhi only.
Arjun shed tears and leaned on Krishna's shoulder. Panchali and Subhadra came and stood behind Kunti sobbing and sighing heavily.
Kunti looked at Krishna and said." Kanha Today I am speaking to Narayan himself not to my nephew.
He Vaasudev,He Rukmini Pati, He Nara Sakha Show your grace. You protected my children since their childhood.
You saved Draupadi from humiliation.
You became Saradhi to my son and fetched him victory.
Now The Kuru Vamsh is in danger.
In the name of your love for Abhimanyu save his son.
If that won't happen there is no use of my life for me.
Kunti stopped unable to continue further. Subhadra clasped Krishna by his shoulder and looked at him." Bhrata Till today my husband is not able to forget Abhi and swallow his death.
You know how painful it is for him to live without Abhi.Now see his state. He won't survive if this grandson of him also follow Abhi.
You promised you would save Uttara's son from Brahmasir Do that now.
Otherwise I will sacrifice my life here itself. I lost my son. I can't now survive this mishap.
Subhadra 's grief became uncontrollable and she shook Krishna forcibly.
Bhrata if you won't revive the baby what is the use of having you as my brother?
Krishna took Subhadra in his arms and said." Bhadra control yourself.let me enter inside."
By then Draupadi took the baby to Uttara who got back consciousness and placed him on her lap.
She supported Uttara to sit properly and wiped her tears.
Panchali told Uttara in a broken voice." Uttara, Govind is here. Bow before him.Pray to him wholeheartedly.Submit yourself before him"
Krishna approached Uttara and placed his hand on her head.
All the five brothers entered inside and stood behind Krishna.
Uttara folded her hands and shed tears." My son. Look who has come to see you. I thought I will take you to him proudly and submit you before him.
If I know that you also won't be with me I would have joined your father on the funeral pyre.
Now that you are no more I will have to reach your father immediately. But I know your father will also feel bad if he knows you also left his father.
Uttara then wailed loudly." My son look at your great grandmother how she is crying. See your grandmother Subhadra who is living only with a hope to see her son in you.
See your grandmother Draupadi. She suffered a lot Now she is in a dismal state and lost the zeal to live. See your grandfather he won't survive if you don't open your eyes. See the king and his brothers. You are their only hope.
Uttara then bent forward and tried to touch Krishna's feet." Save me and my son and the whole kuruclan.
Uttara then became unconscious there itself. Subhadra took her in her arms while Panchali took the baby and looked straight into his eyes." Govind save your Parth" she whispered.
Krishna nodded his head and said." I will keep my promise. All of you get rid of your sorrow. I will certainly revive Parth's grandson who will rule Aryavarth for more than sixty years."
Having said so Krishna washed his feet and did achaman three times.
He placed the baby beside his mother on the couch.
Krishna then stood by the baby and looked with a fixed gaze.
A strange hollow surrounded his head and his face shone with Devine splendour.
Arjun stared at his Madhav in wonder.
Krishna then said in an authoritative tone." If I never retreated back from any battle and always fought for truth this son of Abhi will get back life."
If I always worshipped Brahmins and dharma let this son of Uttara revive his life.
If I killed Kamsa and others only to protect dharma and not for any personal reason,let this heir of Pandavas get back his life.
If I always loved Parth more than my life and if no misunderstanding ever happened between me and Parth let this grandson of Parth breathe again."
As Krishna finished his last line and sprinkled water on the baby,the miracle happened.
The baby moved freely and opened his eyes.
Next moment he stretched his hands and cried aloud to make his presence felt in this world.
The grandson of Arjun breathed and flourished.
The future Emperor of Aryavarth smiled at Krishna.
Parikshit won the battle with Aswathama along with his grandfather Arjun.
