Tomorrow is Dusshala's wedding and she was torn apart between what's best for her family reputation and what's best for her. To clear off her mind she proposed an idea to the ladies to go to the market and have some good time. For their protection Devesh, Arjun and Nakul decided to come along.

The market was bustling as ever and Madhavi's eyes were caught by the shop of jewelry. Nakul too tagged along with her.

"This necklace will look good on you." Nakul said.

"Its really pretty." Madhavi commented.

Nakul's eyes then fell on a Chudamani, and thought how good it would look on Madhavi. When he saw she wasn't paying attention, he quickly bought it.

In the opposite direction, a dagger shop caught Savyasachi's attention. She had never seen daggers with such intricate patterns.

Arjun saw she was a little confused as to which dagger she must buy. He saw it as a perfect opportunity to make some conversation.

"Rajkumari, I see you are a little confused." Arjun said approaching her.

"Yes, well I don't know which one to buy." Savyasachi said.

"Allow me to help you." Arjun said looking at the daggers.

He started picking up daggers and inspecting them, wanting the very best for his love.

"This one is too dull.....too heavy.....this one has loose grip.....nope too small......Ah ! This one is perfect !" Arjun finally chose a dagger.

"This one will suit you best. Try holding it." Arjun said giving it to Savyasachi.

"This one feels right." Savyasachi said.

"So is Rajkumari going to buy it ?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Definitely." Savyasachi said and took out coins to pay but Arjun stopped her.

"This one is on me." He said.

"No no I will pay for it." Savyasachi said.

"You are my guest, I can't let you pay." Arjun said.

"You don't have to, it's alright." Savyasachi said.

"Its my duty." Arjun said giving the coins to the shopkeeper.

"You didn't have to." Savyasachi sighed.

"I know, but I wanted to." Arjun said smiling.

On the other side, Dusshala and Subhadra were roaming in the market when 2 men approached them.

"Having good time ladies ?" The first man said, checking them out.

"Don't bother us." Subhadra said.

"How about you show me some good time ?" The second man moved forward.

"Stay away !" Dusshala warned.

The men laughed and didn't listen, they were about to put their hands on Dusshala and Subhadra but were harshly pulled behind by Devesh.

He slapped them both so hard that they fell on the ground.

"Don't you have any manners !? Get out of here !!" Devesh said kicking them away.

"Are you both alright ?" Devesh asked.

"Yes Bhrata." Subhadra said, while Dusshala just looked at him mesmerized.

"Rajkumari Dusshala, you good ?" Devesh asked bringing her back from her thoughts.

"Huh ? Y-yes I am. Thank you." Dusshala said.

"No need to thank me. It was my duty." Devesh said.

Suddenly Dusshala got very emotional, he had all the qualities she looked in man. Most importantly, he was respectful unlike that Jaydrath.

"Dusshala are you alright ?" Subhadra asked noticing a tear falling from her eye.

"I am alright, its just these men..." Dusshala lied.

"No this is cannot be the reason." Devesh said, Dusshala looked at him confused as to how he realized.

"Rajkumari Dusshala, we have only known each other for a day or two. However, you can share your pain with me if you want to." Devesh said.

"I-I don't know." Dusshala said diverting her gaze.

"Probably I can suggest some solution to your problem." Devesh said.

"No one can solve this problem." Dusshala said wiping her tears.

"Then at least I can listen to it. It will lighten your heart." Devesh said.

Dusshala then looked at Subhadra, who nodded assuringly. Dusshala then looked at Devesh and nodded agreeing.

Hey Krishna ! Nahi pata tha ki aisa din aayega, aap pakshpati honge aur Arjun Adharmi kehelayega...bina shashtra padhe har koi Karn Karn gaye ga....

THE OTHER DAY I CAME ACROSS AN ARTICLE AND......KYA BATAU USME BAS ARJUN KO GALI NAHI DI BUT BAKI SAB BOL DIYA....WHY ? YOU GUESSED IT. TO GLORIFY KARN ! THE ARTICLE EVEN CRITICIZED KRISHHA....BAAT MERE BHAI PAR AAYI AND I TOOK IT PERSONALLY.

THE ARTICLE SAID KI KARN KE SAATH ANYAYE HUYA CAUSE YUDH MAI ARJUN KE DHWAJA MAI HANUMAN JI AUR MADHAV USKE AAGE THE....

KINTU VIRAT YUDH MAI TOH NA ANJANIYE PICHE AUR NA NANDLAL AAGE THE, TAB ANGRAJ KYU ARJUN SE DARKE BHAGE THE ?

BUT AGAIN PEOPLE SAY THAT KARN DIDN'T HAD VIJAY BOW WITH HIM IN THE VIRAT WAR....HMMM....MATLAB USKI SARI TAKAT USKE DHANUSH MAI THI ? BINA VIJAY DHANUSH KE WOH NAHI HARA SAKTA THA ARJUN KO ?

JAHA TAK MAINE SHAASHTRA PADHE HAI, I CAN SAY DHANUSH KI PEHECHAN USKO PAKDNE WALE SE HOTI HAI. AGAR VYAKTI AYOGYA HO TOH DIVYA SE DIVYA DHANUSH BHI KISI KAAM KA NAHI AND AGAR VYAKTI YOGYA HO TOH SIMPLE DHANUSH BHI DIVYASTRA CHOD SAKTA HAI...

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, MAHABHARAT PADHTE HO TOH USKE HAR ADHYAYE KE PEHLE EK SHLOK AATA HAI.

Meaning : I bow down to Narayan and Rishi Nar, who is the super most human being and the goddess Saraswati who has graced us by revealing the secrets of the Mahabharat and the writer Vyas. By destroying all the negativities, one should start the chanting of the epic of Mahabharat.

Now who is Rishi Nar ? Arjun ! And this shlok was written by Lord Ganesh as it has the mention of Ved vyas and Vyas himself wouldn't write a shlok asking all to pay him respects.

Mahabharat padhte samaye, we bow to Rishi Nar along with Narayan, Devi Saraswati and Ved Vyas. We pay our respects to Arjun !

*sighs* Yahi hota hai Suryaputra Karn and Karn-sangini dekhne se....bhai aisi baate kisi ke gale nahi utarti, log majak udate hai....

Dekho Karn ko support karne mai koi galat baat nahi hai, he too was great no doubt, karo support but Arjun ko mat belittle karo.

BY THE WAY, HAPPY RAM NAVAMI !
JAI SHRI RAM !
