"It appears that this brahmachari is now joining our husbands' gang," Karna said, chuckling as he looked at Ashwathama.
"Oh! How I miss my carefree bachelor days. Everything has changed now," Dushasana said with a hint of sadness in his expression.
"Yes, my friend," Duryodhana and Karna said in unison.
Suddenly, three women spoke in unison, their voices merging into one, causing Dushasana, Duryodhana, and Karna to turn pale.
Ashwathama burst into laughter, taunting them, "Best of luck, my friends."
"Your day will come, my friend Ashwathama," Dushasana said with an angry glare.
Karna, Duryodhana, and Dushasana turned their attention to pampering their wives, and after much effort, they succeeded.

"Meenakshi, my childhood friend, is coming to Hastinapur to stay with me. She is a Brahmin and a disciple of Guru Vashistha. She will assist me in the field of medicine and help with various tasks," Madirakshi informed her husband, brothers, and sisters.
Ashwathama was lost in his thoughts upon hearing Meenakshi's name.
Dronacharya, who happened to be wandering in the palace gardens, overheard the conversation and observed Ashwathama's reaction. He saw a potential match for his son in Meenakshi, a good Brahmin girl. He decided to propose the idea of marriage to Madirakshi at a later time.

It was a delightful evening. Karna was playing the role of a horse for Vrishasena and Aditi.
Observing a horse approaching their house, Karna realized that Meenakshi, his wife's best friend, had arrived.
"Madirakshi, your best friend Meenakshi has arrived. Welcome her, my dear," Karna called out, and Madirakshi stepped out, standing at the entry gate of their house.
Meenakshi soon arrived at her destination, and Madirakshi hugged her tightly, saying, "Welcome to Hastinapur, dear."
Meenakshi then greeted Karna, and he reciprocated. Vrishasena and Aditi rushed towards Meenakshi, calling her "auntie" excitedly. Meenakshi laughed and embraced the children.
She then paid her respects to Radha and Adhirath before Madirakshi showed her to her room. The two friends indulged in gossip, which only concluded after dinner.
Later that night, Karna left for his duties as the Emperor of Āryāvrata, serving his nation. Meanwhile, Madirakshi and Meenakshi spent the night together, sharing their thoughts and secrets.
