The preparations were made for the Pandavas to leave Hastinapur and to Khandavprasth, with some conditions regarding sovereignty and independence from Hastinapur. Many people had also opted to leave with Yudhishthir.
Kunti came to the common room of Pandavas with the plate of aarti. But instead of doing his tilak she gave the plate to Satyamurti.
"Do the tilak of Yudhishthir, putri Satyamurti." Kunti said.
"But Mata, it is you who should put tilak on Arya. This is not just vermillion but your blessings." Satyamurti said.
"Putri, my blessings are not constrained to vermilion. After marriage, specific duties should be divided between mother and daughter-in-laws. I understood it a little late that some limits must be drawn which mothers shouldn't cross. The foundation of home is such limits." Kunti said, remembering her Lakshagriha mistake.
"Satyamurti, it your right to put tilak on Yudhishthir's forehead." Kunti said.
"As you wish Mata." Satyamurti said.
She came in front of Yudhishthir, did his aarti and then puts tilak on his forehead.
"Now remember my sons, it your duty to protect your wives. Your responsibility towards your wives should be greater than your responsibilities towards each other as brothers." Kunti said.
"Mata, you will always have greater right over your sons than us. Then why are you talking like that ? You are also their responsibility." Rajeshwari said.
"No putri, I am not their responsibility but the responsibility of Jyesht Dhritrashtra. Thus today I hand over my sons to my daughter-in-laws." Kunti said.
"If you're not coming with us Mata then who will guide our way ?" Nakul asked.
"From now onwards Satyamurti will guide your way for she is the lady of all virtues and the pride of both Vrishnis and Kurus. Give her the same respect you give to me." Kunti said.
"As you say Mata." Nakul, Sehdev, Bheem and Arjun nodded.
"Now you all go and establish a Kingdom that will be the embodiment of righteousness. I will come only when the your Kingdom becomes independent from the sovereignty of Hastinapur. Yashashvi bhava ! Akhand-saubhagyavati bhava !" Kunti said.
The Pandavas and the daughter in laws touched the feet of Kunti, and seeked her blessings. They finally left with their head high, off to a new future.
Kunti kept looking at them, she felt better now as she given all her rights to her daughter in laws. But somewhere in her heart, she still had grief that she couldn't accompany her sons.
But Kunti doesn't show this grief, for she knows that as a bird must let her children fly away so they can establish their own life and family, she too must let her sons go, for how long can she keep them under her aachal ?
