NO ONE''S POV
It''s been five years since aadhya was lost and from that day till now she has had the same
determination and she has worked hard to understand the lessons of warfare, about the kingdom and
dharma and as her bharatashrees promised they never forgot to spent time with her, all three parents
decided to make a schedule so their children would learn and spend time living their childhood as well
which was a great blessing to pandavas as their bonds got deeper day by day, their regr eating
her precious bharatshrees grew as well and they would still y games, she is a master in climbing
trees now no one can stop her as her fear went away, she became more strong and brave, her
curiosity increased as well while learning she would always have so many questions she would ask
them after the lessons, she would look at every detail not leaving a single point of view which was a
proud thing for her pitashree as she would always think of every aspect showing she would listen to
everyone''s view before making a decision.
"How far can this arrow go pitashree?" asked arjun, nakul said "I guess it can go out of this forest" and
bheem confused said "only this much? I can throw this arrow that far just by using my hands alone why
need a bow for that" causing all of them to giggle loudly making bheem more confused, arjun replied to
bheem saying "it''s not about throwing it, it''s about aiming it, how far can we aim pitashree?", pandu
replied "it''s the bow that has our strength not us who has the strength of the bow, our weapons are
profitable to us only on the basis of our morals powers (manobal) and knowledge is profitable to us only
on the basis of self power (aatmabal)." Hearing the yudishthiir said "I couldn''t understand you pitashree
what is moral power (manobal)?" pandu smiled at him and replied "the one who doesn''t know how give
up and makes aeback no matter what the situation is, that''s a person''s moral power (manobal)
and one should always follow the path of dharma and never leave it no matter what the situation is"
and then yudhishthir asked "what about self power (aatmabal)?" and pandu replied "the one who fights
his inner demons and doesn''t give in to all the bad thoughts is known as self power (aatmabal)."
yudhishthir said "meaning manobal helps us fight outer wars and aatmabal helps us fight inner wars
right pitashree" and pandu proudly said "wow great putra i''m so proud of you, you have understood the
concept clearly i''m sure you will be a great king for hastinapur one day my son" ad bugged his elder
son, seeing that aadhya "screamed group hug!!!!" and all of them attacked pandu and yudhishthir to a
bone crushing hug and with that nakul screamed "ying time!!" and all of them went to y ept
one person.
(IMPORTANT!!! guys I couldn''t use more easy vocabry then this to teach the concept of manobal
and aatmabal, I hope you guys understood it,ment below if u did or not plz!!!!! cuz it took me
almost an hour to write as I had to hear pandu say those lines again and again, it would make me
happy if i kn that my efforts were worth it)
AADHYA''S POV
All of them went to y but stopped not hearing my reaction and to see me not move, bharata arjun
asked "aren''t youing aadhya'''' and I said "I wille just let me ask pitashree a question" to which
all my bharatashrees sighed and said "you and your never ending questions, we will go to the ying
grounds you join us soon" saying that they all left, I turned to pitashree and heard him say "so my little
warrior what do you want to ask me this time?" I smiled walking towards him and said "I wanted to ask
you that, should one always follow dharma even if it puts an innocent person in danger? wouldn''t it be
adharma? and what if this situation is an advantage to a third person and is doing this knowingly?
should we still follow that kind dharma knowing it''s giving profit to a evil person but pain to the innocent
person?" pitashree was quiet for few seconds thinking about the situation and replied "no putri one
shouldn''t follow dharma when they know this will be profitable to adharma or which might hurt a
innocent and one should do what they feel is right in such situations and try to bring the best solution
so no innocent is hurt" hearing his answer I nodded understanding and smiled thanking pitashree.
Pitashree held my hands and said "I''m very proud of you for always asking such questions as thinking
about their answers my knowledge increases as well, aadhya you always analyse all situation which is
a very good quality and I''m sure you would make a great maha mantri one day" saying this he kissed
my forehead and his face disyed the word proud, smiling happily about pitashree praising me I
hugged him and kissed his cheeks and bid him a goodbye as I waste and my bharatshrees would be
waiting for me so I rushed there.
SAHADEV''S POV
While ying I suddenly had a bad intuition about pitashree and I rushed to mata kunti to tell her about
this. I reached to rasoi ghar and said "mata kunti i''m having a bad intuition about pitashree and I think
his life is in danger!" hearing my words she asked "where did he go" and I replied "he went to pick up
flowers for today''s prayers" and mata kunti said "stay with others while I''m gone" and she ran out in the
search of pitashree.
KUNTI''S POV
No arya please be safe please don''t make a wrong move thinking that I kept screamed "arya '''' again
and again so he would hear me but when I found him it was toote, arya had left the world leaving his
two wives and 6 children all alone in this world. When me and Mardi were alone she said "I was reason
of the curse and I the one due to the cruse was sessful, arya would always talked about you jiji
when we used to sit alone, he would always tell me how inner beauty is everything, I always had a un
saidpetition with you about being the best, I''m very guilty of being the cause of arya death, the
reason why our children doesn''t have a pitashree now, I''m the reason of your sadness, so I will take
sati and go to arya and ask his forgiveness only then can I be forgiven, jiji I know you are a better
mother and I know you are going to be a better mother to nakul, sahadev and love them as yours".
Saying this she took sati leaving me all alone, she left without giving me a chance to stop her! and I
screamed "madri why would you do this!! what will I say to nakul and sahadev! why did you leave us as
well!!"
NO ONE''S POV
Pandavas were devastated but stayed strong for each other. aadhya couldn''t process what happened,
is her pitashree really dead, she couldn''t move nor feel anything but looking at her bharatashree''s she
remembered that she has to be strong. Soon mata madri left with pandu taking sati feeling guilty,
standing there seeing them get burned aadhya only told herself to be strong. (I kn girls can''t go there

but it''s herst time seeing her father so how could someone stop her). Vidur went to yudhishthir
seeing him not shed a single tear and asked "why aren''t you crying putra, crying doesn''t make one
weak and you should let your tears out as it''s your pitashrees death and not crying right now will leave
a guilt feeling" and yudhishthir replied "I can''t cry now or else my five other siblings wouldn''t be able to
control themselves, I will cry again lot when i''m alone in night but right now I can''t" hearing what
yudhishthir said left vidur shocked.
Then vidur moved to sahadev and asked "why aren''t you crying putra?" sahadev replied "if I cry jesth
bharata would think I don''t trust him enough as for us four brothers and our little sister he is now in the
positions of our father" making vidur and raj mata shock, next vidur went towards aadhya and asked
"why aren''t you crying putri?" aadhya replied "I can''t cry now because mata kunti once told me i''m their
shield and support pir that protects them from being weak and if their support pir goes weak how
will I protect them from being weak and who will give them strength" making vidur and raj mata more
shock seeing their thinking at this age, their love, respect and trust towards each other. Raj mata went
to aadhya cing a hand or her head and said "never break this bonding and unity" and aadhya looked
at her and just nodded.
Vidur called the pandavas towards him and said "your patience is very good but in times like this its
okay to let go of your tears and feelings" they all hugged vidur and cried removing all their sadness with
their tears and cried a lot.
After all the vidhi''s ended vidur told kunti to take pandavas and wait in chariot till he gets raj mata, raj
mata and vidur had a talk about rajmata deciding to not return to hastinapur, but vidur respected her
decision in the end and went towards kunti and the pandavas. Vidur, kunti and pandavas started their
journey to hastinapur.
