Bheem, Arjun, Nakul and Sehdev were all set to go for Digvijay yatra and conquer all four directions of earth for Yudhishtir.
Sagarika did their tilak so they emerge victorious.
"Sagarika, we shall return soon." Bheem said.
"And emerge victorious as well." Nakul said.
"We will make sure that you become the Samragyi of entire Bharatvarsh." Sehdev said.
"Jyesht take care of her." Arjun said.
"I will. Now you all go and be glorious. My blessings are with you !" Yudhishtir said.
And thus the 4 Pandavas left for Digvijay yatra to all 4 directions.

Yudhishtir was walking with his ministers, talking about the affairs of the Kingdoms and suddenly he caught a glimpse of Sagarika in the royal garden, plucking flowers with the maids and Tarun flying around her.
The ministers smiled as they saw Yudhishtir staring at Sagarika, not paying attention to them.
"We'll continue our discussion some other time, Maharaj." The ministers said.
"Sure." Yudhishtir said walking to the royal garden.
He sneakingly walked up to Sagarika and gestured all maids to leave quietly, as he took the flower baskets from them. He even gestured Tarun to remain quiet.
Sagarika moved forward plucking more flowers and Yudhishtir followed behind.
"I think these are enough." Sagarika said.
She turned around she was suprised to see Yudhishtir instead of her maids. He chuckled seeing her suprised face.
"So Dharmraj is sneaking up behind me ?" Sagarika asked playfully.
"More like a husband walking behind his wife." Yudhishtir corrected smiling.
"You can even say that." Sagarika said.
"So what are these flowers for ?" Yudhishtir asked.
"I will make a garland and offer it to Mahadev, to ensure victory in Digvijay yatra." Sagarika said.
"Then allow me to help you." Yudhishtir said.
"Alright then." Sagarika said.
Both of them sat down under the flowering tree of Palash, making the flower garlands.
"Arya, I had a question in mind." Sagarika said.
"Ask away." Yudhishtir said.
"Shri Ram renounced Mata Sita for upholding of righteousness. If you ever come to a situation where you have to choose between righteousness and love, then what would you choose ?" Sagarika asked.
"Why a question like this ?" Yudhishtir asked.
"Nothing. I was just reading Uttar Ramayan, so this question popped in my mind." Sagarika said and suddenly Yudhishtir held her hands.
"Sagarika, I will never in a million years think about leaving you." Yudhishtir said.
Looking at the worried expression in his eyes, Sagarika shook her head and kept her hand on his cheek.
"Oh Arya, I didn't mean that." Sagarika said.
"Then ?" Yudhishtir asked.
"I meant if there ever arises a situation where you have to choose between Love and Dharm then what would you choose ?" Sagarika asked.
Yudhishtir fell into deep thoughts, no one ever asked him such a tricky question
"I don't know. What will you choose ?" Yudhishtir asked.
"If you have to choose one between Love and Dharma, then do know than one of those is false. For love is also the basis of Dharma, and Dharma is the way of Love." Sagarika said.
"I never thought like that." Yudhishtir said.
"Maharaj ! Samudra-kumari's thoughts are as deep as the ocean itself !" Tarun said flying over to them.
"That you said correctly, Tarun." Yudhishtir smiled as Sagarika chuckled.

ALTHOUGH I WON'T SHOW IT, BUT YOU MUST KNOW.
