CHAP 1
Karn was lying there wounded surrounded by his brothers and Duryidhan. Duryodhan was feeling so helpless he needed to save his friend but how? He suddenly remembered that the Pandavas had defied death numerous time may be once again they will for their own brother atleast... He ran to Yudhishthir and begged "Apne jyeshth ko bacha lijiye, mere mitra ko bacha lijiye...main vinti karta hun...sara aryavarta Indraprastha hastinapur sab aapka...main swayam apka kadmo ka daas ban jaayunga bas mere mitra ko..." he broke down sinking to his knees..."Duryodhan koi upay nahi hai.." Yudhishthir said. "Aisa na kahiye... sab kehte hain aap me bohot karuna hai...apne jyesth ko bacha lijiye...mai bhi aapka anuj...gyaat hai ki aapke prati har ek anyay ka mai sutradhar par phir bhi daya karke meri yeh vinti sun lijiye...Karn ko bacha lijiye..bacha lijiye.." Duryodhan went on ranting like a lunatic... Yudhishthir looked at him he looked so vulnerable now just like his brothers had looked when they were little..Dueyodhan was still chanting like a delirious man. Yudhishthir sat in front of him and shaked him hard..."Duryodhan chetna mein aao" he shouteed "Koi upaay nahi hai Duryodhan.. agar hota toh mere ishwar jaante hain ki pran de kar bhi hum Jyeshth ko bachate" he said feeling equally helpless, his hands gripping duryodhan's shoulder. "Upai hai" suddenly Nakul startled everyone "Yaha se Virat nagari ke bich Uttari van mein ek nadi hai jiske rasatal mein ek mani hai jis mani ko ek aushadhi mein milakar anjalik ashtra ke pravao ka pratikar kar sakte. Par us mani ki raksha yaksh aur naag karte hain jis karan use lana bohot kathin hai" he said. "Mai laaunga wo mani" Duryodhan said like a drowning man getting shore. "Tum akele nahi hum dono jaayenge wo mani lane" Yudhishthir said... "parantu bhratashri aap" bhim tried to protest "koi parantu nahi bhim, tum yahi rahoge aur mataon ki raksha karoge" Yudhishthir ordered "parantu tab tak bharatashree ko jivit kaise rakhenge" "Main rakh sakta hun unhe jivit" it was Arjun who spoke and without any explanation he just grabbed a knife cut his palm dropped the blood on Karn's wound, Karna's breathing suddenly rised. "Jisne bhi anjalik astra chalaya hai uske khoon se sench kar inhe samayik ruo se jivit rakh sakte hai" Sahadev said. "Aaplogon ki jaldi karna hoga". They carried Karn to the nearest camp...Arjun was not speaking he just sat near Karn. Duryodhan and Yudhishthir left soon after Karn was laid properly inside and both the armies had been instructed not to fight. The war had come to stand still... the only thing Duryodhan now wanted was to save Karn. Everything else could wait.
