*This chapter is going to be the divine truth behind Arunika's birth so it will be author's POV. This is only about her birth which Kanha is remembering. The reason behind her and Kanha being separated, Lakshmi and the world forgetting her will be revealed slowly. I wish for extra votes in this chapter cause I'm writing it instead of making Physics notes.*

The time line is set between the time of Narayan's third and fourth avatar (reincarnation). His second avatar was Kurma(turtle) during the samudra manthan, from which Mata Lakshmi came out from the ocean. Their marriage then brought back her memories. So I've chosen the time between Narayan's third and fourth avatar as then it was Satyuga or Kritayuga (the golden age). 

The scene starts as the sounds of anklets are heard approaching a sleeping Vishnu, laid on the Anant Naag. As the sound approaches closer, Vishnu opens his lotus like eyes, which had the twinkle of the entire cosmos. 

"Kya hua Chanchala, aapka mann bada hi vichlit lakta hai?" Vishnu asks his priye who seemed disturbed for some reason

[What happened Chanchala, (Lakshmi is also known to be called Chanchala by her Nath as she never stays in a place for too long, as her mind is playful- chanchal), you seem to be disturbed?]

"Nath, I was just thinking that we will take so many births, and we will also have children. But you see Nath in every birth, we only have sons. I also want to have a daughter." Lakshmi Maa frowned 

"Haha.. so this small reason has made my priye so worked up" Vishnu said as his one hand caressed the frown lines in her face to relax the facial nerves

"You are not understanding Nath. Also, this is no small reason but a huge reason"

"Yes- yes you are right Chanchala. Even I want to have a daughter. She would be so cute, just like the mini version of my Chanchala"

"Nath- aap bhi na" Lakshmi blushes a little while Vishnu just chuckles but the idea of having a daughter brought a new twinkle to his eyes. As it is the couple had accepted the entire world as their children and hence are also called Jagatpita and Jagatmata. In the form of Siya-Ram they may have 2 beautiful sons. But they wish for a daughter. A daughter whom they could love immensely. The daughter who would understand him without saying a word. After all daughters have always been dear to their fathers.

"Chanchala, I dearly wish for a daughter now. It feels like your thoughts have invoke my inner feelings." Vishnu said as he looked through the cosmos. And Lakshmi maa's happiness knew no bounds. 

"Chanchala, tomorrow is the eighth day (ashtami) of Bhadrapada month of Krishna Paksha. So tomorrow, we will welcome our precious daughter to this universe."

"Yes Nath, that would be auspicious. Oh I'm so excited. I've to tell my sakhis (Devi Parvati and Devi Saraswati). They would be so happy. Also Nath you should call upon all the gods and goddesses and also Asur Guru Shukracharya, Daityas and Danavas. -" Mata Lakshmi was busy worrying about all the arrangements when Vishnu Dev cut her in chuckling

"Yes- yes Priye. All arrangements will be done and the invites will also be sent. Now stop worrying yourself" Vishnu dev said smiling to himself.

"You are not understanding Nath, tomorrow our dear daughter will come to this world. Everything should be perfect for her"

"Everything will be done Priye. Do you think our daughter will be happy if she gets to know about her Mata being tensed for the arrangements for her arrival?"

Narayan then shared this news telepathically to Mahadev and Brahmadev.

Mahadev who was in meditation also was delighted to this news. Brahmadev was also smiling showing his 32x4 teeth.(A/N : Just kidding yaar)

Devi Ksheera and Anant Naag were very happy as they would witness the anshas of their beloved lord and Goddess growing.

Next Day 

All Gods and Goddesses, Daityas and Danavas and even Shukracharya arrived to Vaikunth as they would welcome the daughter of the supreme beings. 

Soon the Tridev and Tridevi came together as they asked everyone to bless. Brahma dev asked all rishivars to be the part of a yagna as it purifies and one's soul and surrounding. All rishivars then started performing a yagna as they gave aahuthis. 

Brahmadev and Mahadev were also happy as they could witness a child growing as they had Missed the childhood of their own children. Mahadev's son Karthikeyan was brought up by the apsaras, Brahmadev's son Daksha was born as a ayonija ( one' who is not born from a woman's womb and is already grown up as adult).

(A/N: I'm not completely aware about Daksha's birth )

Mata Parvati once through her and other Tridevis anshas to save the world from destruction created a beautiful daughter name as Prakriti. She who was nature herself also came to the ceremony. She was named Prakriti, as had her powers of nature superior than her other powers. Prakritik ansha since was of Mata Lakshmi's she was named after her.

Devi Saraswati and Brahma also had a daughter who was named Niyati (destiny). She was the one who wrote one's destination and the path chosen by them in life towards their destination. She was invited also because she had to write about the destiny and duty of Narayan's daughter.

(A/N: Devi Niyati is said to be the grand-daughter of Brahmadev as she was the daughter of Daksh in some texts. But there is no correct information about her origin and existance. According to a Puran, she is said to be an advisor in the court of Brahma along with her husband Vidata. But the above information is mentioned as a doubtful thought in the Puran. That's the reason I chose her as daughter of Brahmadev)

Soon after the Yagna was completed. The Tridevs and Tridevis came together, as Narayan had asked other Gods to bless his daughter with their anshas.

The Trisakthi then raised their hands in Abhaya Mudra and different coloured lights started emerging from their hands.

A ball of energy was formed which had the glow to lighten the entire Vaikunth, Swarg Lok, Bhulok and Patal lok.

Brahma,who is the creator, thought about the most beautiful features, as he started shaping the child.

Saraswati Maa concentrated on the arts and knowledge, shared immense knowledge of vedas to Puranas. Their actual meaning irrespective of Human thoughts. She shared the Ansh which also had the share of various artforms, from singing to dancing, from painting to sketching. Everything was shared.

Mata Parvati, who is also the goddess of immense love and strength, blessed her with strength to destroy the entire world, while love to rebuild the world. She also created an replica of her sword of her Mahakali roop, which could be lifted only by the child when she retains a specific age.

Mahadev, who is the destroyer of the world, blessed her with his powers, which were destructive in nature but also with his power of meditation, which keeps his mind calm. He also through his powers made a Trishul, as powerful as his own, which will solely belong to her. But as the Trishul is too powerful, she has to do something great, that will prove her worth to the Trishul.(trident).He also blessed her with Trikal darshi powers. (The one who is able to view the three timelines, the past, present and future)

Mata Lakshmi, who has the power to change dreams into reality, the power of Maya, strength( Veera Lakshmi) would obviously provide the best for her daughter. She blessed her with all her gunas, which included bravery, love, wealth. She also gave her the knowledge of Maya, making her Known as Mayalekha, the line between illusion and reality.

Vishnu Dev, the protector of the world, the one who has immense stamina, and resistance to harm, he who preached:

Whenever righteousness wanes and unrighteousness increases I send myself forth.
For the protection of the good and for the destruction of evil,
and for the establishment of righteousness,
I come into being age after age.

Vishnu Dev, blessed his child with a chakra, as he himself carries sudharshan chakra, his daughter would carry her own Morpankh chakra. He blessed her to have strength as equal to Krishna, his avatar which would be born in Dwapar yug. He also let his lotus join the energy ball just like Laxmi Mata sent her lotus towards the energy.

As all Trisakthi blessed the power ball, all other gods and goddess's like Indra, Suryadev, Agnidev, etc., and also Shukracharya came forward to bless her. Soon the light emitting from the ball increased thousand folds and all others except the Trisakti closed their eyes to save them from burning. 

Soon the ball burst and the light spread everywhere, in all loks. As the blast took place, flowers started showering. When the devas and Asuras opened their eyes, they were mesmerized seeing the sight. There in the middle of the garden, where there was the energy ball laid a huge beautiful Lotus, which was blooming slowly. As all who were present there, went near it, it opened fully as there lay a beautiful- olive skin toned baby, whose almond shaped eyes where closed. Lotus petals where covering her tiny body. Surely Brahmadev has added his pure concentration on the creation of her. 

Vishnu Dev was unable to say a word, as he stood there completely awed. His Mohini roop was making  him feel motherly affection while he in a whole was feeling fatherly affection. Mahadev to broke his trance said," Still her Naamkaran is left, won't Narayan even lift his daughter to show us all"

 This broke his trance as he inched closer to lift her. As his front hands lifted her, the baby opened her eyes and was smiled. Usually babies cry when they are born, but she was not someone usual, she was after all the daughter of Narayan-Lakshmi, she was far from usual. Narayan chuckled seeing her reaction. 

The crowds which were eerily silent till now broke into loud hoots as all hugged each other. Brahmadev then asked Niyati devi to write her destiny. Everyone again silenced as they knew that to write someone's destiny, Niyatidevi should write it in a single stretch and without any disturbance. 

 Niyatidevi started writing her destiny, with utmost concentration. She closed her eyes and held the inked feather to start the scroll with the name of Trisakthi(Ganesha is still not born). As she wrote about her birth suddenly a doot(messenger) came to inform Indra that a Asura had taken his absence as an opportunity and attacked Swarglok. The Daityas present there smirked as it was their plan, chaos broke there and the focus of Niyati Devi broke and she could not write her destiny. 

Mahadev who became super angry for such a treacherous act on the birth of his daughter. (Yes she is Trisakthi's daughter now but Narayan- Lakshmi are her parents. The Trisakthi blessed her with their anshas that's why they are her parents technically). He was about to lift his trident and kill every asura there, but Brahmadev stopped him and calmed him. He then let go them alive, but banished them her every lok except Patal lok and Bhu lok. They had to leave immediately to Patal lok to save themselves. 

Niysti dev then told everyone about the worrisome issue at hand. She could not rewrite destiny as it could be done only once. Brahmadev said it is not to be worried about as it means that she would choose her own destiny. She has the power to even bring changes in the destiny of people surrounding her. 

Brahmadev then named her Niyatinandhini for this reason.

(A/N: As I have said in my previous chapters that Vishnu Dev named her the aforementioned name, then let me clarify- Vishnu renamed her Niyati nandhini because her existence is forgotten by all. Though Trisakthi exception Lakshmi Mata and their other children remember her. During her rebirth, her sole purpose as known by Lakshmi mata would be to meddle in the lives of people of Dwapar to help Narayan establish Dharma. So Narayan re-named her Niyati Nandhini)

The trisakthi then waited for her to be named as aforementioned names are her second names. Narayan then announced her name as Akriti- The one who shapes one's life by helping them in various method.

Krishna who was reminiscing the birth of his daughter Akriti was happy that today he ate Makhan from her hands again. He then closed his eyes and got lost in the tunes of his flute. 

***********

That's all for now. So how did you find Dhriti's birth history as?

Another names to add to Dhriti's character: Mayalekha and Akriti.

What would have happened that led to Mahalakshmi and the entire universe forgetting the existence of Dhriti?
