CHAPTER 5
A queue formed, a silent procession of reverence. The infant princess lay in an ornate cradle, a masterpiece of gold and precious stones. Her tiny form, swathed in soft, yellow cloth, was a stark contrast to the opulent surroundings.
First in line were the sages, their figures etched with the austerity of years of penance. Each stepped forward with a heart heavy with anticipation. As their eyes met the infant's, their faces, hardened by years of meditation and penance, softened into an expression of pure, unadulterated bliss.
Tears, like pearls of wisdom, streamed down their aged cheeks. Their hands, gnarled and rough from years of austerity, joined in a silent prayer. For in this child, they saw the culmination of their life's quest, the embodiment of eternal bliss, the promise of the next world.
They were not tears of sorrow, but of profound joy, a release of emotions long forgotten, a catharsis of the soul. The sages wept, their bodies shaking with the intensity of their experience. It was as if the child's presence had opened a floodgate, releasing the accumulated longing of years.
For centuries, they had toiled, endured, and sacrificed in pursuit of the ultimate truth, the elusive bliss. Their lives had been defined by austerity, their bodies marked by the rigors of penance. Yet, in this innocent child, they found what their lifetimes of seeking had failed to yield. It was as if the universe, in a moment of divine grace, had bestowed upon them the culmination of their spiritual quest.
The sight of the revered sages, their bodies trembling with the weight of their emotions, was a profound impact on the assembled kings. Their hearts, hardened by the rigors of power, softened in the face of such raw vulnerability. The kings, accustomed to the language of conquest and diplomacy, were now experiencing a different kind of power - the power of the human spirit.
As the last of the sages withdrew, their hearts filled with a newfound peace, a sense of reverence filled the hall. Now, it was the turn of the earthly rulers. Kings, emperors, and princes, their faces a mixture of awe and reverence, moved forward to pay their respects. Their steps were deliberate, their demeanor a blend of humility and authority.
The moment their eyes met the infant's gaze, the proud kings, the fierce warriors, the cunning diplomats, were replaced by humble supplicants. Their eyes, once filled with a mix of curiosity and reverence, now held a deeper emotion. They too felt a stirring within, a longing to connect with the divine, a desire to shed the burdens of their earthly roles.
It was as if their souls, trapped in the gilded cages of power, had awakened from a long slumber.With tear-streaked faces, they looked upwards, as if seeking forgiveness from a higher power. Their cries were a silent plea, a recognition of their spiritual shortcomings. In that moment, the grandeur of their kingdoms seemed insignificant, their worldly achievements reduced to ashes.
"O Ishvar ! O Bhagwan ! O Paramatma !"
Their sobs were like the wails of lost children.
The hall was a sea of tears, a silent testament to the child's extraordinary power. She had, in a matter of moments, dismantled the carefully constructed facades of the most powerful men in the land, revealing their true essence - souls in search of redemption, in search of their true home.
Overwhelmed by the depth of their emotions, many kings found themselves on their knees. Their proud forms, once symbols of authority, were now humbled before the divine. Her presence had shattered the constructs of ego, revealing the true nature of existence.
Some emperors, with trembling hands, they reached out to touch the baby's feet, their lips moving in silent prayers. They kissed the tiny feet repeatedly, each kiss a testament to their devotion, and gratitude. It was as if the veil of Maya, the cosmic illusion, had been lifted. The world they had known, the world of power, prestige, and conquest, seemed like a useless dream.
The common folk, who had patiently awaited their turn, now stepped forward. Their faces, etched with a mixture of awe and joy, held a simplicity that was in stark contrast to the emotional turmoil of the royalty.
Unlike the kings and sages, who had wept uncontrollably, the common people expressed their reverence in a different manner. They looked at the infant with eyes filled with wonder and hope. There were no grand gestures, no dramatic displays of emotion. They smiled, their faces radiating a warmth that was as comforting as the sun.
They offered simple gifts - flowers, fruits, and handmade toys. Their offerings were a reflection of their hearts, pure and sincere. They touched the cradle, their hands trembling with reverence, but their eyes held a steadfast belief in the divinity of the child. Their faith was as vast as the ocean, as deep as the earth. They had come not as supplicants, but as equals, acknowledging the divine in the most human and innocent way possible.
A wave of euphoria swept through the crowd as the common folk began to express their joy. Their voices, rising in a harmonious chorus, filled the hall with a vibrant energy.
"Aisi Rajkumari kisi rajya mei nahi !"
"Aisi kanya iss prithvi par pehle nahi aayi !"
"Rajkumari awashya ek naye yug ka aagman karengi !"
They sang of the princess, her divine birth, and the hope she represented. Their words were simple, yet carried the weight of a collective blessing.
Spontaneously, they began to dance, their movements a reflection of their joy. Men and women, young and old, joined in the celebration, their bodies moving in rhythm to the unspoken melody of their hearts.
"Ujjain ki Rajkumari, Ujjayini !"
"Ujjayini !"
"Ujjayini !"
"Ujjayini !"
Dilip and Aarvi were overwhelmed with joy as they witnessed the citizens cheer for their newborn princess and name her Ujjayini, the princess of Ujjain. Their hearts swelled with pride knowing that their daughter was already loved and cherished by the people of their kingdom.
The infectious joy of the common folk was irresistible. The rigid boundaries between the ruler and the ruled began to blur as kings, queens, and sages joined the celebration. With surprising ease, they shed the weight of their titles and positions.
The emperors and kings, once symbols of power, now danced with the common folk, their laughter mingling with the general merriment. The sages, whose lives had been dedicated to contemplation, moved with a childlike wonder, their eyes sparkling with joy. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated joy, a celebration of divine bliss in all its splendor.
Dilip and Aarvi stood at the periphery of the jubilant crowd, their hearts filled with a profound sense of gratitude. As they watched their daughter, the center of this extraordinary celebration, their eyes filled with a mixture of pride and reverence. Their gazes met, a silent conversation filled with unspoken words. They were not just king and queen; they were not just parents parents, they were custodians of a divine gift. She was more than their child; she was a beacon of hope for the world.
