Thanks Di !!

The Day Was Bright And Sunny. Krishna Was Wiping Off The Beads Of Perspiration From Time To Time. At Last, Tired Out He Asked His Friends To Go With Him To The Riverside To Drink Some Water. A Huge Crane Was Standing By The Bank. Krishna Went Over To It, And Smiled Back To His Friends, As It Did Not Even Move. Krishna's Experienced Eyes Had Already Identified That 'Dummy' As He Called It. Krishna Watched The Expression Of The Boys Change From Amusement To Terror As The Huge Beak Of The Demon Came Down Swiftly And Took Krishna Into His Mouth. All The Boys At Once Ran Towards The Crane, But Balraam Stopped Them, "Don't Worry. Have You Already Forgotten Vatsasur ? This Crane, Who I Guess Is Someone Called Bakasur, Can't Even Put A Scratch Of MY Brother's Body. Just Wait Here And See."

Yudhishthir Lovingly Ruffled Duryodhan's Hair As He Passed By. Duryodhan Turned Back, "Who Are You To Dare To Touch Me ?" Yudhishthir Took This To Be A Joke And Laughed Out, "Well, Well, My Dear, Good Joke, You Know I'm Your Brother, Right ? Now, What Are Your Names, Please !"

"You Think You Can Remember ? Well Then, Duryodhan, Yuyutsu, Duhsasan, Duhsaha, Jalasandha, Sama, Saha, Vinda,  Anuvinda, Durdharsha, Suvahu, Dushpradharshana, Durmarshana ,Durmukha, Dushkarna, Karna, Vivinsati, Vikarna, Sala, Satwa, Sulochana, Chitra, Upachitra, Chitraksha, Charuchitra, Sarasana, Durmada, Durvigaha, Vivitsu, Vikatanana, Urnanabha, Sunabha, Nandaka  Upanandaka, Chitravana, Chitravarman, Suvarman, Durvimochana, Ayovahu, Mahavahu, Chitranga, Chitrakundala, Bhimavega, Bhimavala, Balaki, Balavardhana, Ugrayudha, Bhima, Karna, Kanakaya, Dridhayudha, Dridhavarman, Dridhakshatra, Somakitri, Anudara, Dridhasandha, Jarasandha, Satyasandha, Sada, Suvak, Ugrasravas, Ugrasena, Senani, Dushparajaya, Aparajita, Kundasayin, Visalaksha, Duradhara, Dridhahasta, Suhasta, Vatavega, Suvarchas; Adityaketu, Vahvashin, Nagadatta, Agrayayin, Kavachin, Krathana, Kunda, Kundadhara, Dhanurdhara Ugra, Bhimaratha, Viravahu, Alolupa, Abhaya, and Raudrakarman, and Dridharatha, Anadhrishya, Kundabhedin, Viravi, Dhirghalochana, Pramatha, Pramathi, Dhirgharoma, Dirghavahu, Mahavahu, Vyudhoru, Kanakadhvaja, Kundasi and Virajas. Repeat At Least Ten Of The Names If You Still Remember !"

"Duryodhan, Yuyutsu, Duhsasan, Duhsaha, Jalasandha, Sama, Saha, Vinda,  Anuvinda, Durdharsha, Suvahu, Dushpradharshana, Durmarshana ,Durmukha, Dushkarna, Karna, Vivinsati, Vikarna, Sala, Satwa, Sulochana, Chitra, Upachitra, Chitraksha, Charuchitra, Sarasana, Durmada, Durvigaha, Vivitsu, Vikatanana, Urnanabha, Sunabha, Nandaka  Upanandaka, Chitravana, Chitravarman, Suvarman, Durvimochana, Ayovahu, Mahavahu, Chitranga, Chitrakundala, Bhimavega, Bhimavala, Balaki, Balavardhana, Ugrayudha, Bhima, Karna, Kanakaya, Dridhayudha, Dridhavarman, Dridhakshatra, Somakitri, Anudara, Dridhasandha, Jarasandha, Satyasandha, Sada, Suvak, Ugrasravas, Ugrasena, Senani, Dushparajaya, Aparajita, Kundasayin, Visalaksha, Duradhara, Dridhahasta, Suhasta, Vatavega, Suvarchas; Adityaketu, Vahvashin, Nagadatta, Agrayayin, Kavachin, Krathana, Kunda, Kundadhara, Dhanurdhara Ugra, Bhimaratha, Viravahu, Alolupa, Abhaya, and Raudrakarman, and Dridharatha, Anadhrishya, Kundabhedin, Viravi, Dhirghalochana, Pramatha, Pramathi, Dhirgharoma, Dirghavahu, Mahavahu, Vyudhoru, Kanakadhvaja, Kundasi and Virajas. Am I Right, Duryodhan ?"

The Four Brothers Giggled With Mirth On Seeing The Shock On Duryodhan's Face. They Knew, But Duryodhan Had Never Expected Even In His Strangest Dreams That His Brother Might Be Such A Genius. Bheem Shouted, "What Did You Think ? Our Brother Is Fool Like You ?" Bheem Paused As Yudhishthir Glared At Him, "We Shall Talk About This Later, In Detail, My Dear Brother.". Bheeshm Who Had Been Watching The Whole Scene From A Darker Corner Behind A Pillar Thought Contentedly That Duryodhan Had Indeed Met Someone Who Could Return What He Gives To Everyone Around Him i.e. Discomfort.

In Gokul, The Boy Watched As Krishna Emerged From The Throat Of The Crane Amidst An Explosion Of Fire, With A Mysterious I-Know-What-You-Are Type Smile, Unknown To Them, Playing On His Lips. Yashoda, Who Had Been Called By One Of Krishna's Friends, Watched On As Her Little Son Jumped Up In The Air, And Getting Hold Of Bakasur's Beaks, And Crushed Them On The Ground Thus Killing It. Kanha Ran To Her, Smeared With Dust A Smiled A Special Smile, Which Only Balraam And Yashoda Understood, And The Mother Drew Her Son Close To Her Into An Embrace, While Balraam Turned To Their Friends, "See, Didn't I Tell You ?"

A Few Days Had Passed. Nothing Much Had Happened, Except That Krishna Now Enjoyed Being The Tallest In Their Group Instead Of The Shortest And Balraam Mostly Stayed Occupied With His Food And Body-building Exercising. Shakuni, Gandhari's Brother Had Come To 'Meet' His New Nephews. The Five Brothers Were Indeed Embarrassed To Stand In A Line While Their New Uncle Took Them In From Head To Toe. Later In The Day, He Took Duryodhan Aside And Whispered A Plan Into His Ears.

Continued From The Previous Post...

A Picnic Had Been Arranged In Hastinapur As Per Shakuni's Wish, Where All The Princes Were To Play Together And Have A Good Hearty Lunch. A Beautiful Garden Had Been Made Up Near The River Ganga. The Boys Were Busy Playing And As Usual Bheem Was Hungry Much Before That The Others. This Was Justified As He Had Played A Lot More That His Brothers - He Had Pushed A Tree Upon Which Some Kaurav Brothers Were Perched, Causing All Of Them To Fall, Held Some Of Them Under The Water And Releasing Them Just Before They Drowned And ETC. Slowly He Sneaked Out From The Group Into The Kitchen. He Found Duryodhan Sitting There. Duryodhan Smiled And Offered Him The Food He Was Having. The Unsuspecting Bheem Found His Head Spinning With The Very First Morsel, And He Drooped To The Ground With The Second. Shakuni And Duryodhan Carried Bheem And Threw Him Into The Slow And Composed River.

At That Night Yudhishthir Went Into Their Room Meaning To Scold Bheem For Sneaking Back Without Telling Them.

"But I Thought He Was With You !" Stood Up Kunti.

"But Mother, We Thought He Was Tired And Came Home Early !" Said Yudhishthir

"Yudhishthir, How Could You Be So Irresponsible, I Told You To Take Care Your Brothers ? Now Come With Me To Jyeshth Taat, And Do The Explaining !"

"Yes, Maata, I'm Really Very Sorry !" Replied Yudhishthir On The Verge Of Tears. His Mother Had Never Scolded Him Ever In His Life.

"What's The Use Of This Sorry Now ? And You Three, Don't Dare To Step Out Of This Room !"

In A Moment The Search Party Was Out Hunting For Bheem. Yudhishthir Had Gone Out On His Horse With A Torch While Kunti Was Consoled By Gandhari. She Had Already Guessed Who Was The Culprit.

In Gokul The Boys Were Out With Their Cows On The Green Pastures. Suddenly Krishna Had The Desire To Discover More Of The Forest. He Told The Cowherds So, And They Gladly Accepted. They Saw A Huge Cave In The Middle Of The Forest. Intrigued By It, The Boys Went Into It. The Cave Looked Like The Mouth Of A Huge Serpent, But The Cowherds Weren't Afraid. They Knew If It Was Indeed A Snake, Then Their Friend Was Always There To Save Them. Krishna Had Already Realized That It Was Aghasur, The Brother Of Putana And Bakasur, But To His Horror He Realized That While He Was Busy Examining The Snake, His Friends Had Already Entered. Krishna Thought For A Second And Then, Ran Into The Mouth Of The Serpent, And It Closed its Mouth. He Walked Up To The Windpipe Of The Demon, Began Growing In Size. He Enlarged Till The Serpent Suffocated To Death. Then He Slowly Went And Removed All The Poison That Had Entered The Body Of His Friends, And Resumed Their Adventure.
