My parents, Lakshmi Narayana, are surely the greatest of people. Their greatness can only be matched by Uma Maheshwara and Saraswati Brahma. Then there is my brother Sastha. To question his greatness is far more foolish than me jumping into the fighting ring knowing that Virat would kill me.

I, on the other hand, don't know how I came out to be devious.

But what to do? Desperate times, desperate measures.

Now, if Virat had offered me on a golden platter this opportunity, I was no fool to turn it away. Sona is the sweetheart not to take advantage of people but I wasn't. One could argue that I might be taking advantage of Virat's lack of knowledge that I was alive and Shukracharya's thinking that I cannot do anything. But, I didn't care.

I rechecked the address I was sending a parcel to. A grin when I put the paper in the envelope.

"I seriously can't understand what you are going to achieve with this. Why are you sending a letter to Srirangam?" Maa asked.

I just smiled.

"Well, somethings we all do just for the sake of doing it. You talk to the idols by letting your faith bring Kanha in them. So, in my faith, I am going to send a letter to Ranganatha." I answered. Also, I was pretty sure that dadis going to take just a few minutes to decode this.

I had heard from Gayatri di, the commander of one of the troops in Vaishnava Sena that on Earth there are three places that coincide with Vaikuntha. Sri Rangam, the island city in the river of Kaveri, had a portal from Earth to Vaikuntha. The temple acted as a guarding door to the portal between Earth and Vaikuntha. The garbha griha was the portal and the vimana acted as the transporter.

I had traced the co-ordinated of this address in the letter. In form of poetry, I had written it down. Secretly placing the coordinates in them. Just so he tries to understand what I'm talking about I had inserted Andal's poetry between my own.

Gayatri di had told me when we were going to Gurukul that he arrives at all of the 108 divya desam for the seva offered by the priests. Right from Sandhya aarati seva to ekantha seva. I'm sure that Sri Ranganatha would easily understand this the moment it is written to him. It will also let him know that I was alive. He cannot trace me due to the curse so maybe he too thinks that I'm dead. I want at least papa to know I'm alive. I have to be careful about who I tell but whom can I trust more than papa? It is directly going to him, the point of someone else taking it wouldn't arrive in the first place. Exactly through that, I have very well told him that there is a spy amid Swarga who is giving information to Virat.

If I'm Adi, then Adikeshava is my father. Surely, he will get my message and will send me a signal that he's got my message.

"Are you done now?" Maa asked.
