Panchali's Flash Back
For a final time She checked the lists . It is perfect. Everything that was brought through conquests had been covered or mentioned in detail.
Nakul's share,Sahadeva's share,Bheema's share and then his share.
The tributes brought by Arjun are beyond the imagination,calculation and estimation.
The gold,Diamonds Gems That were from North provinces are absolutely immeasurable.
Since they belong to Gandharva regions their value as per the way it is measured in mortal world
Makes them worth crores and beyond the crores also.
This much treasure! Draupadi wondered. When they came to Khandava Prasth she never imagined
Indraprasth will prosper to this extent.
The Khandav Dahan paved the way to establish and expand the city that could accommodate more
and more people in its vast space.
And the conquests now they made Indraprasth the wealthiest city in Aryavarth.
Duryothan thought by giving Khandava Prasth he can curb the spirit of the Pandavas.
But the more the challenges the better the performance.
Panchali 's beautiful face shone with pride.
It is the evening time and the bards are singing songs of praise for the Five Brothers.Panchali stood
In the balcony holding Pragati. She knew the lyrics of the songs. But looks like new words have been
Coined to glorify the achievements.
Victory unto Krishna Vaasudev,The Vishnu incarnate,the dearest friend of Parth
Panchali smiled with delight. Yes Govind's identity by now is his Vishnu avatar. But more significantly he is identified as the dearest friend of third Pandav.
The song continued." Victory unto The Dharmaraj the Chakravarti Samrat of Aryavarth.
Panchali felt elated.Finally Maharaj Pandu's wish got fulfilled. His son became the Emperor.
Victory unto Bheemasen the destroyer of Jarasandh The Pillar of Pandava Empire.
Panchali nodded her head. Yes Bheem is the pillar He always achieves and upholds Pandava glory.
Victory to Nakul and Sahadev the great sword fighters,the conquerers of West and South.
Yes they are-- Panchali thought. Their contribution should not be ignored.
Pragati shrieked impatiently.Panchali kissed her and said." Wait my doll. Now it is your father's turn to get the applause. Let us enjoy together.
Victory unto the greatest warrior of Aryavarth.
May the third Pandav achieve more and more glory.
Who could have won Bhagadutta? Who could have won Vaasuki?
Who could have brought the greatest treasure going to Gandharva regions?
Victory unto Arjun the most loved friend of Krishna Vaasudev.
Panchali smiled heart fully.Who could have hit the fish target ? And won the princess of Panchal
As she finished the lines the bards sang the same. Pragati giggled happily.
Victory unto Arjun,Phalgun,Parth...Dhananjay Dhananjay Dhananjay...
Panchali repeated.Dhananjay? Another new name? Who would have coined that?
Indraprasth celebrated the victorious return of Arjun that night by firing crackers and dancing in the streets. The Royal family celebrated the event by arranging a lavish dinner for all the prominent officers and their family members.
Every one talked about the vast treasure that made the treasury of Indraprasth overflowing.
Bheem specially ordered his cooks to make a wide range of sweets and dishes.
He proudly told Draupadi," You know.My brother got another name the conquerer of Wealth.
Dhananjay.
Who coined that word? Govind?Draupadi asked curiously.
Bheema informed." Eldest coined that word. Govind approved.
Already Bards incerted that word in their songs. Didn't you hear it?
Panchali did not reply.She looked at the entrance where Krishna and Arjun are receiving the guests.
Suddenly Krishna turned his eyes to her and smiled. He smiled as if he is questioning' How do you like it Kalyani? Your Arjun and my Parth is Dhananjay now.
The night is beautiful with full moon spreading moonlight around. Panchali placed Pragati in the jhoola and covered Kirti with the blanket.She walked towards the balcony where her jasmines are asking" Where is your Arjun Krishnaa"
Panchali stood silently. It is past midnight.He must have gone to Subhadra.
After a while she felt her Arjun's arms round her waist." Still awake?He asked with his irresistible smile.
Panchali cast her looks down and said " Pragati just slept. "
Arjun laughed." Why do you tell lies my Queen? You are waiting for me. Your eyes will never lie"
Panchali pushed him away." Not at all Dhananjay Don't take it for granted that I always wait for you.
Arjun looked surprised." What? Say it again." He demanded.Panchali looked straight in his eyes and stated." Yes I am just going to sleep after Pragati slept."
Arjun insisted.' Not that, something else.
Panchali stood too close and placed her hands round his neck.
Arjun looked down at her ravishing beauty ,mesmerised
Panchali raised her eyes and smiled." Yes Dhananjay.I am waiting for you since ages."
Arjun has an amused look on his face." How do you know it? Madhav told you?"
Panchali proudly informed him" I will know everything related to you.But it is really good.
Dhananjay. How apt it is? I loved it."
Arjun asked mischievously. " Liked only the name? What about the person who owns that name?"
Yajnaseni admitted sincerely." Love you Dhananjay,with my soul"
