The pale crescent moon prevailed like an iridescent claw in the celestial sky as the momentary chirping of the nightingale magnified the peace of the night.

A juvenile, who was adorned with a peacock feather headdress, blue karnikara flowers on His lobes, and a captivating yellow garment, sat beside another young lad whose skin tone mirrored that of a white lotus blossom, His body was mildly rigid, and his hair was the color of a fresh cloud while shining like the sun.

Balram and Krishna longed for someone special as they peered at the stars at the end of the day.

While they both anxiously waited, Krishna, who was infallible, asked, "What do you think dau? Will our younger one be a girl or a boy?"

"If it's a girl, I am all ready to pamper her unlike you all who have never adored this extremely cute boy right here"
He teased while making a sad dramatic face, seeking his elder's brothers attention which he always excelled at.

Balram frowned mischievously "Oh my not-so-innocent little brother, haven't you been paid enough attention to sulk about this?
The entire Gokul knew how everyone loved you. You have got to be the most pampered child I have ever seen. These words don't suit you."

Krishna let out a tiny giggle and then cleared his throat realization dawning upon him about how Balram was just stating facts.
"I still didn't get the answer to my questions dau.
Will the younger sibling be a girl or boy?"

Balram's face instantly turned into a smirk as he realized Krishna didn't have an answer to what he said earlier
"Well does that matter? our love remains the same either way. But I wish to have a little sister who wouldn't Disturb the hell out of me like you unless.......you both team up against me."

Krishna laughed at his statement and said
"I can predict me and my little to-be-born sister teaming up against you."

"Kanha! You!" Balram uttered while trying to get a hold of Krishna, who would never get caught. After all, he is the mastermind behind all the mischiefs that might have taken place in the last few Decades.

Balram gave up panting and uttered to himself
"I am definitely not ready for the storm raging my way to ruin your peace."

While the brothers chuckled they heard cries of pain. It was Rohini who was crying.

Both of them glanced in each other's direction with tense expressions. While both of them stood still waiting,
a sudden cry reverberated everywhere.

Krishna and Balram soon realized what had happened and suddenly jumped and dashed to hug each other.

Krishna cried "Dau! Our little sibling is here!"

Balram was too stunned to speak.

They both waited outside the chamber impatiently just to have a glimpse of their younger sibling.

After some time a daasi bowed to them and said
"Pranaam, Vasudeva has asked you to enter the chamber."

Hearing this both brothers yelled in a serene melody
"Kanha!" "Dau!"

The brothers ran to the room impatiently to have a look at their baby sister.
Their beloved Maya.

The goddess of illusion who took birth as the younger sibling of Krishna and Balram was charmed when she saw her two brothers approaching her.

Both Krishna and Balram glanced at her with utmost affection and love.

The proceeded forward to take the little baby in their fragile hands that supposedly melted as soon as they took her in their embrace.

The wait was over.

Vasudeva proclaimed before everyone called it night "She will be called Subhadra, the Auspicious one"

The night air was filled with joy, and the very next day Everything was embellished.
Meanwhile, Rohini adorned the little Subhadra with flower ornaments. seemed alluring.
Meanwhile, the brothers did their best to make the festivities more special!

The festivities started taking place, beautiful melodies were playing around, and little kids chased each other, The women had gone to bring Yadavi Subhadra. Everyone was enchanted as they gazed at her.

Everyone started giving their own names to Subhadra with extreme joy.

"Suchismithā the one who has a sweet smile"
Exclaimed an awed Rohini.

Everyone smiled at that name.

"Bhadra, the glorious one" said Balram

The names described how the princess of dwarka was very aptly.

"Pruthutāmrākshi, the one with large coppery eyes"
said Krishna who saw his younger sister with all his love.

The name felt like as if it was made for her.

People came and gifted precious gifts.

It was now the turn of the duo who had something very special to gift to their younger sister.

Krishna turned his hands forward and a box was lying in his fist.
everyone wondered what it could be.
Balrama opened the box, A mysterious pendant was found inside.
Everyone saw it but none could understand its significance.
It held a special meaning and a special purpose that was meant to take place at the correct time.

The festivities went on.

The night took over the evening hues.

Vaikuntha

Sheshnaag asked with tensed thoughts
"Prabhu, Maya has taken birth on Prithvi. Despite knowing how agonizing her fate will be she is now off on a journey. She will have to undergo a lot of throbbing times.
I wonder how she has the strength to accept all this."

Narayan replied
"Maya is completely aware of the cruel fate she has. She will never express her emotions leading her to suppress them inside herself not wanting anyone to know about them. This is destiny, She plays an important role in establishing dharma on Prithvi. Every person involved plays an extremely important role here. All of us need to do our duty towards Prithvi to underlay righteousness and peace on earth. We all know what this results in but it is necessary for the sake of the people on Prithvi."

"Prabhu whatever happens will lead to the end of unrighteousness on prithvi. I trust you and I know you will never let the Evil win."
"ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय नम:"
He chanted.

Is Subhadra ready for what is coming her way?
