By now Krishna's wives are used to Satya's dominance in Krishna's marital life. In their heart of hearts they understood that Satya though stubborn is harmless . She is obsessed with Krishna and tries to spend every moment with him. Her main contender is not Rukmini the first wife of Krishna but Arjun,Krishna's cousin. Gradually she developed a liking for him and enjoyed his company. Her fascination grew more and more on seeing his extraordinary valour.She likes to throw challenges and win challenges. So how to make him confess his love for one over the others is testing her patience. Still as per her nature, she did not give up her trials. As she approached Arjun's practice spot thinking that he must have finished it she saw him indulged in worshipping Siva in the nearby shelter created specially for his worship. She saw him pour pure water on the sivling reciting the Rudra Namakam..Namastestu Bhagavan viswesvaraya,Mahadevaya,Triyambakaya , Tripurantakaya Trikagnikalaya ,Kalagni Rudraya ,Neelakanthaya Mrityunjayaya, Sarveswaraya sadasivaya srimanmahadevaya Namaha. ...Arjun is famous for his Siva Bhakti . He and Krishna together and separately worship Mahadev. Arjun broke the coconut and offered it to Siva and did Arti. Only at the end of his puja.he acknowledged her presence. Satya observed his knitted eyebrows demanding her the reason for disturbing again Satya started walking back with him towards the dining chamber. Where is Madhav? He said he will meet me at the puja But did not arrive. Instead you came. Why? Arjun asked. Satya replied. Even I was told by him that he will be with you. But no. He must be enjoying with one of his wives. Arjun scolded her. Why do you always run behind him? Most of the time he gives you only. Still you are not satisfied. Satya said in a dreamy voice. Love is nectar like Arjun. You will still be thirsty even if you had your fill. I will never be satisfied though I spend maximum time with Swami. I believe he also loves me in the same way. At least he made me feel that. I would like to know who among your wives makes you feel that way. Just out of curiosity. As she completed her word Krishna came and informed. Suddenly Sage Narad came to foresee Rajasuya planning. Eldest called for me since you will be in practice. Every thing is fine . He asked us to fix the commencement date as per our planning. Satya you must have strained yourself being there at the practice spot. Come and relax now. He extended his hand to her and lead her inside the dining chamber. Satya looked back at Arjun with attitude. Arjun nodded his head in despair. Why should Madhav pamper her that much? Krishna came to him and said in a low voice. Sometimes pampering revives drooping spirits. If you don't believe try it on Krishnaa. She needs it much from you. Arjun searched for his wife. She is holding Kirti and making him eat. He saw her face and understood she still is in yesterday's mood. His other wives busy in conversation with each other, and Rukmini Devi is holding Pragati. Subhadra approached him and entrusted Abhi to him. You answer his questions. Who are all these new ladies? He is asking. Arjun kissed him and asked him. How many maamis you have in Dwaraka? Abhi started counting.He ran to Krishna's wives and confirmed. Pitasri Eight I have. Now leave your mata and Jyesht mata and count .Abhi ran again and counted. Five he answered. You have five Maasis. They came to see our Indra prasth. Arjun enlightened him. Abhi is convinced. Like he had 8 Mamis ,he had 5 Masis. Subhadra widened her eyes. She didn't get that idea to first tell about his Mamis so that he will take it normal to have a number of Masis. Too clever. That is why like Bhrata you are tackling that many wives. She smirked. Suddenly Satya's voice broke in. She announced. This night I want all of you to assemble together at Kunti Bua's chamber. She has some gifts to be presented to her Bahus including Panchali and Subhadra which will be given to them by Arjun telling us why he has chosen that particular gift to that wife of his. Kunti smiled at Satya's never ending efforts to embarrass Arjun but she is confident that her son is too intelligent to get trapped by anyone. Arjun looked at Krishna and Krishnaa. He should please them both. Krishna by winning Satya's challenge and Krishnaa by making her feel his love all over again.
