“Maa, have you eaten up the baby?” the seven-year old Savyaani questioned, her eyebrows crossing as she gazed at Draupadi’s protruding abdomen. Giggling a bit, she placed her ear on her stomach, trying to hear any probable sounds.
Draupadi laughed hearing her answer, “Oh, Savyaa the child is growing inside my stomach. I haven’t eaten her!” the heavily pregnant woman whose face had an unnatural glow held Savyaani’s cheek and placed a kiss.
“Really? When will the baby come?”
“Soon, I believe!” Savyaani grinned, caressing Draupadi’s abdomen, “Come soon little one, your sister is waiting for you!” she giggled as Draupadi began combing her curls.Braiding them and adorning them with jasmines, she finally placed a dot of collyrium on the side of her forehead.
“Savyaa! See, Krisha is already dressed up!” Savyaani beamed hearing Arjun’s voice echoing through the corridor and with a expression of excitement she kissed her mother and ran out of the door.
Draupadi smiled in peace, witnessing the joyous little one sprinting out. A sigh left her lips as she caressed her protruding abdomen.
“Krisha! Krisha!” Savyaani ran excitedly towards the courtyard where Arjun and Krishneshwari were playing hide-and-seek.
Whenever there is opportunity, Krishna would always allow Krisha to visit Indraprasth, and Arjun Savyaani to Dwarka.
“Savyaa! We were tired waiting for you!” Krisha came out from behind the tree, and grabbed Savyaani’s hands as they twirled around.
“Uff, Krisha you spoiled the game,” Arjun pouted, crossing his eyebrows in a hilarious manner, seeing which the both kids laughed heartily.
“I was delaying deliberately.”, Savyaani confessed cutely, lowering her eyes and drawing patterns on the ground with her toe.
“What? But why?” Krisha, though she knew pretended she didn’t.
“I was actually waiting for my sibling! Thought that she might come out of Draupadi Maa if I request,” Savyaani licked her lips playfully, as Arjun began laughing.
“Awwww!” he lifted both Savyaani and Krisha in his arms and sat on a rock near an artificial waterfall. “The child will come soon, kids!”
“When Sakha? I’m tired waiting—“, Krisha adorably extended her arms indicating she was indeed ‘tired of waiting’. The smile was not leaving her lips at all, for she knew who was about to be born.

- Amravati -
Indrani Sachi was spending time in the breathtaking gardens of Amravati, lost in her own musings. She pushed the ground with her one feet, as she swung.
Her mind and her heart was completely stolen by a single at the divine eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Sri-Krishna in Mathura. Motherly feelings infused in her witnessing the Lord who was born as newborn to Devaki and Vasudev.
Her heart longed to have the Lord as her child, and to fulfil her desire she involved herself in a rigorous penance. On the other hand, Devraaj Indra was utterly distressed since without Indraani, Swarga appeared lifeless.
“Hey Narayan! Hey Mahavishnu!” Indra folded his arms in front of Lord Vishnu in Vaikunth, who was seated beside Devi Lakshmi.
“Devraaj, why do I sense worry lined on your face?” Devi Lakshmi gazed at Lord Vishnu, who was still laid with his lotus eyes closed.
“Maata, what shall I say? To have the Lord as her child, she has been involved in penance for years! And Amravati seems lifeless without her, “ Devraaj confessed in a sorrowful manner.
“Sister Sachi’s wish shall be fulfilled, Devendra,” Bhagwan Vishnu opened his eyes, with a smile adorning his lips, “In her next birth on earth, she will be Nara and your companion, Devendra, and then I shall fulfil her desire. A part of me shall be born to her, when the time comes!”
Devendra’s face broke into an overwhelmed grin, he would be having the Lord’s ansh as his child! Bowing down, he took their blessings and returned to Amravati.
“Naath, you shall be already born as Krishna, the Earth shall witness your Leela as yourself. Then why the necessity for your ansha to take birth?” Devi Lakshmi questioned, gazing curiously at Lord Vishnu, who smiled.
“Devi, the earth shall witness the power of woman, In Dwaparyug. The era when woman would be oppressed by the unrighteousness, the mankind should know, without the involvement of woman, the entire creation would come to an end.” Bhagwan Vishnu answered with a smile, gazing at his Ardhangini. Devi Lakshmi had an overwhelmed expression on her face as she realized what he meant.
“Then, do you mean, that you shall be born as, as-“ tear consumed her eyes as she said so. Lord Vishnu nodded, while Devi Lakshmi let her tears flow.

“Maa, open your eyes!” a soothing voice of a five-year old girl greeted a penance-involved Sachi. Even with her eyes closed, she could sense the divinity in her voice. A smile spread on her face, as she opened her eyelids to gaze at the child.
“M-my child!” she was overwhelmed, roaming her eyes around the five-year old girl, who appeared as the shadow of Lord Vishnu himself.
“Maa, don’t worry I shall come to you soon!”
