MEMORIES FROM BRAJ
Satyamurti served kheer to everyone, as Yudhishthir smiled seeing her caring nature for her siblings.
"So Keshav, do you always have these midnight meals ?" Sehdev asked.
"Very often we have them, indeed." Krishna said.
"It is a nice bonding time for us, reminds us our days of Braj-bhoomi." Balram said.
"It surely must have been fun." Nakul said.
"Oh it was. We would play all day, with no care." Rajeshwari said.
"Don't forget stealing makhan !" Krishna said.
"Stealing ?" Yudhishthir asked.
"Yes, the women of the village would make makhan and Krishna, Balram, Rajeshwari and Tamasvini along with Uddhav and many friends used to steal them." Satyamurti said.
"The Makhan of Chandravali maiyya used to be the best !" Rajeshwari said.
"I agree." Tamasvini said. Arjun shook his head.
"But isn't stealing unrighteous ?" Yudhishthir asked.
"All the Maiyyas used to make makhan for us kids only. We were only taking what was rightfully ours, just a little before." Krishna said and Balram chuckled.
"Krishna, I had heard that your uncle Kans regularly used to send Asurs to kill you ?" Bheem asked.
"It's true. Kanha has killed so many Asurs and that too since infancy." Balram said.
"Really ? But how ?" Arjun asked.
"Parth, everything is the plan of Paramaatma, I am just was just a medium for their salvation." Krishna said.
"Tamasvini over here had a special liking for Asurs." Rajeshwari said.
"Why ?" Yudhishthir asked.
"The Asurs used to keep falling at my feet. They used to give me so much respect that as a child I wanted to marry one." Tamasvini said.
Everyone chuckled besides Arjun who looked at her with disbelief.
"I am sure, Rajkumari Tamasvini must have the best stories to tell." Nakul said.
"Indeed. Tamasvini tell them about the time you made Indradev fall on a muddy puddle." Krishna said purposefully.
Tamasvini looked at him with disbelief and slightly gestured that Arjun is sitting beside her, but Krishna shrugged his shoulders.
"Please tell Rajkumari." Nakul said.
"Did you really made Devraj fall ?" Sehdev asked.
"I am also curious." Yudhishthir said.
"Yeah me too." Bheem said.
"Fine then. Once in Vrindavan...." Tamasvini narrated the whole tale to them.
Hearing the tale, the Pandavas were of mixed opinions.
"You shouldn't have made the king of gods fall." Bheem said.
"But he kind of deserved it." Nakul said.
Arjun stayed silent and kept glaring at Tamasvini.
"I don't think I did anything wrong, if you see it from my perspective." Tamasvini said.
"What's your perspective ?" Yudhishthir asked.
"If you see....I....Indradev was.... I'm sorry it's really hard to defend my integrity with this big archer glaring at me like that." Tamasvini said pointing at Arjun.
All looked at Arjun, who diverted his gaze but his ears still paying attention to her.
"So as I was saying, Indradev was on a killing spree after we refused to worship him because it hurt his ego. Although Bhrata Krishna has saved everyone by picking up Govardhan, Devraj still kept throwing thunderbolts at the mountain. For how long would Bhrata Krishna keep holding the mountain ? As a sister it was my duty to ease his work, and thus I made Indradev fall down." Tamasvini said.
The Pandavas looked at her and nodded their heads, getting her point.
"And Indradev didn't mind it at all, his arrogance was broken and he was grateful to me and thus blessed me with a part of his lightening powers. Me and Devraj are on good terms yet some are still offended." Tamasvini said looking at Arjun.
"Because he is my father." Arjun said.
"But I didn't know at that time that he was going to be the father of my soon to be husband even if I knew I'd still do it for it was the right thing." Tamasvini said.
"Really ? For doing the right thing would pick weapons against your own family ?" Arjun asked.
"For upholding righteousness, I would. Because it would be the right act." Tamasvini said.
Before Arjun could say anything, Krishna interjected.
"It's getting late, we must retire to our rooms." Krishna said.

A/N
So why did the Asurs keep falling on Tamasvini's feet ?
Because she is Tamas Guna and the Asurs are considered Tamasik beings. So they consider her as the source of their existence.
