The cozy room was filled with laughter and joy, young Krishna and Balram sat with their baby sister Chitra on the bed. The room was adorned with colorful toys and soft cushions, creating a playful atmosphere. The newborn daughter of Rohini, with her golden complexion and bright eyes, exuded a sense of warmth and innocence. Krishna and Balram lay on either side of Chitra, showering her with affection and giggles.

Krishna, with his mischievous grin, gently tickled Chitra's tiny feet, making her giggle uncontrollably. The girl's colorful personality shone through as she babbled and cooed, her tiny hands reaching out to grasp at her brother's fingers. Balram with his mischievous smile, gently blows air on Chitra's face, making her squeal in delight.

The sunlight streaming through the window illuminated Chitra's face, casting a gentle glow upon her features. Her laughter filled the room, a melody that danced in the air like a sweet lullaby.

"Bhadraa...." Balram giggled at her adorableness. (Bhadra - Pleasant, auspicious)

"Nahi nahi... Subhadra !" Krishna giggled. (Subhadra - Extremely pleasant, auspicious)

They both lean in to kiss her chubby cheeks, their faces lighting up with joy as she squeals with delight. Krishna gently tickles her belly, while Balram makes funny faces to make her laugh even more. Chitra reaches out her tiny hands towards her brothers, her eyes sparkling with joy. Krishna and Balram shower her with affection, their hearts full of adoration for their little sister. The room echoed with Chitra's infectious laughter as she squirmed with happiness.

The early dawn of light had painted the skies of Chaitanya Lok in a myriad of colours. The atmosphere was silent today, rather peacefully. The lord of the abode had to enter his chosen mother's womb today, and take his incarnation for the sake of greater good. And thus the goddess of the realm, was trying and take the fleeting moments and fill it with love.

The radiant Amarsri lovingly adorned her beloved Srinav with intricate ornaments fit for a god. With delicate hands, she placed shimmering earrings upon his ears, their light catching the sparkle in his eyes. Then, she adorned his neck with a dazzling necklace that seemed to glow against his skin.

Srinav's eyes never left hers, a smile playing on his lips as he watched her every move with adoration. Each waistband, armlet, and bracelet was carefully selected and placed on him with utmost care, enhancing his already divine appearance.

Srinav, an epitome of masculine beauty, stood still under her ministrations, his eyes filled with love and admiration for his radiant wife. Once every gem and trinket was perfectly in place, Amarsri took a comb in hand and began to stroke through Srinav's long, flowing locks.

She combed through his long locks, untangling any knots with patience and grace. As she prepared him for his incarnation, her eyes reflected a mix of pride and sadness. And Srinav, despite knowing that he would soon be separated from her, remained strong, a smile adorning his lips. As she placed the golden crown upon his head, Amarsri finished her task. Her hands lingering on his shoulders for a moment longer.

Srinav's smile shines brightly as he gazes at his wife. His eyes twinkle with affection. Amarsri too returns his smile with unwavering devotion, a sense of serenity and love envelops the room.

With intertwined hands, they step out of the room, their bond undeniably strong. Descending the staircase together, their steps echo through the grand mansion. The morning air carries a sense of anticipation and solemnity as they make their way outside.

He turns to her, and cheerfully says, "Brahmadev se bhet karke ata hu, Devi. Fir aapse vida lunga."

"Awashya." She beamed, encouraging his enthusiasm.

Srinav looks towards the sky and calls out to his vahan, "Jaladri !"

In response to his call, the majestic blue bird descends gracefully from the sky, its feathers shimmering in the sunlight. Srinav approaches the bird confidently and, with a graceful leap, mounts on its back. The bird lets out a melodious chirp as it spreads its wings and takes off into the sky.

He looks back at Amarsri, who stands below, watching him with a mixture of pride and love. He gave her a beaming smile before he and his vahan soar high above the earth, the wind rushing past them.

As she watched them leave the Chaitanya Lok, a sigh escaped her lips, "Chalo accha hai ki iss baar, avatar lene se poorv yeh virah ke karan dukhi nahi hai."

Filled with a mix of emotions, Amarsri decides to arrange a sacramental plate before Srinav's return. She walks back into the house, her steps echoing in the hallways.

Amarsri entered the sacred shrine of her house, the tranquil ambiance enveloping her as if in a warm embrace. The flickering oil lamp cast a soft glow, illuminating the ornate idols adorning the altar.

Carefully, she placed the vibrant red kumkum powder and the pure white rice on the plate. However as she reached for the fragrant flowers to complete the offering, her brow furrowed in disappointment. The blossoms were wilted, their petals drooping.

Determined to provide the best for her beloved husband's journey, she cradled the plate in her hands and left the shrine, making her way to the gardens of the front yard.

The cool breeze ruffled her hair as she moved among the lush greenery, the earthy scent of wet soil mingling with the sweet fragrance of the flowers. Amarsri carefully selected the freshest blooms, their vibrant colors a testament to the life teeming in the garden.

"Mata ?" Lost in her task of plucking flowers, a sudden voice called out her name. Startled, Amarsri turned around to see the imposing figure of Shukracharya standing before her, his presence commanding attention.

"Oh. Shukra..." She sighed.

He joined his hands and greeted her, "Pranaam swikar kare, Suryamandalaa."

"Kalyaan ho." Amarsri smiled, "Kaho, aaj Chaitanya Lok kaise ana huya ?"
