Sanjay started.' Maharaj Yudhishtir,there is nothing you do not know about dharma.Right from your birth you lived for Dharma. You tolerated the vicious attitude of Duryothan and bore everything with patiece. You silently went into oblivion after escaping from Lakshagrih Fire.You took Khandav Prasth as your share without protest. You kept your cool even after the Princess of Panchal got insulted on that crucial day. You accepted Exile and Incognito and successfully completed them.People praise you saying Like Siva who drank poison you swallowed every insult they did.Now think for a while. If you decide to fight with your cousins at this point of time people will think otherwise. You know you have to kill your Grandfather Gurus cousins and friends. You are like a sage and I am sure you will prefer living in forest eating alms better compared to killing your own people and eating blood mixed food. And one more thing Grandfather has Icha Mrityu boon and GuruDron can not be killed by anyone.Then there is Karna,Bhurisravas Bahlika and Somadutta to tackle. So I hope you will think well before taking a decision . " Abhimanyu looked at Satyaki with anger,Satyaki looked at Dhrisht who looked at Arjun. Parth looked at his Madhav who pressed his hand assuringly.Bhim rolled his eyes in anger and got up. Yudhi signalled him to sit and turned to Sanjay.' You did your duty well by delivering the message. But I think you mistook the nature of Dharma. It differs to everyone. The Dharma of Kshatriyas is to fight for their right. So say the shastras .It is disgraceful if we won't fight for our ancestral kingdom developed by the hard work of my brothers. And if you want to alert us reminding the valour of Kaurava side I would say all those warriors were vanquished singlehandedly by Arjun just recently. I hope you won't forget that fact.But one thing I make sure . We will depend upon the council of Keshav come what may.Whatever he says we abide by that. I request Keshav to order us what next." Every one looked at Krishna with curiosity.Bheem goaded him.' Kanha make our stand clear." Krishna stood up and greeted the gathering.He addressed Sanjaya in his overpowering voice' With due respect to the king and elders I would ask Sanjay how could that be a dharma if it is favourable to one side and brings loss to the other side.Dhritrashtra should treat both his sons and Pandu's sons equally.He kept silent when his brother's sons suffered in the forest and his sons enjoyed luxuries.As a relation to both I feel it my duty to see my Bua's sons as well as Kauravas live peacefully. But if that doesn't happen the ape bannered chariot with white horses create destruction in their side , I promise you.But whatever be the result I will definitely come to Hastinapur and try my best to convince Dhritarashtr to save his clan. Tell the King I am coming to Hastinapur." Krishna's sharp words sent ripples in the body of Sanjay. He got up,bent his head and muttered.' As the Lord wishes." ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Indirectly it became clear that war will happen at any cost. Before that Krishna's formal visit is mandatory.None had hopes that Duryothan would oblige.Abhi is sitting in his balcony and sharpening his arrows. Uttara came with the sound of her Payal and bangles. Abhi still did not look up. Uttara sat beside him and asked,' Is this the time to do such things?" Abhi answered without looking up.' Ofcourse. War is round the corner. We should not waste time. Don't you know my Pitasri used to practice at night." Uttara's eyes twinkled.' Yes I heard. But that was in Gutukul.Not after marriage." Abhi retorted,' You will be surprised if I tell you the wars he fought after marriage. I didn't even fight a single war." Uttara is chirpy and mischievous . ' Who told you not to? Go and fight singlehanded like your father. By the way I know each and every war he fought. Bards used to sing his glory, Surely your mother and Panchali must be feeling proud to be his wives." Abhi got up and took her chin in his hand.He slowly stated .' I promise Uttara,One day you also will be proud of me immensely.People will remind my glory and sing it alongside my father.Arjun's son I am.his devastating Divyastr. I promise Uttara. I will make you proud." Uttara smiled happily.' I know Arya. I believe in your valour.You will fulfill your promise." The moon God felt happy and sad at the same time.He felt happy because he will soon have his son Varchas in his arms. He felt bad for Uttara who is too young to get separated from her husband.But who will avert the fate?
