I'm back with another article, well not exactly 'another' just the continuation of the previous one cause I forgot to add some of the most important ParAv moments 🤦🏻♀️
Anyways, here you go—
5•Its right before Kurukshetra war, and not exclusively a ParAv moment but more like 'Krishna-Arjun-Draupadi-Satyabham'moment.
O king! After purifying myself, I entered the quarters of those gods among men, looking at my toes and joining my hands in salutation. Abhimanyu and the twins are not allowed entry into the adobe where the two Krishnas, and Krishna127 (Draupadi) and the beautiful Satyabhama, reside.
Both of them were drunk with liquor and both had their bodies smeared with sandalwood. They wore garlands, excellent garments and were adorned with divine ornaments. The two destroyers of enemies were seated on a large and golden couch, which was covered with many carpets. I saw that Keshava’s feet were on Arjuna’s lap, whilenthe great-souled Arjuna’s were on Krishna (Draupadi) and Satya.128 Partha pointed out a golden footstool to me. After touching it with my hands, I seated myself on the ground.129 When Partha removed his feet from the footstool, I saw two longitudinal auspicious marks on the soles of his pure feet.(Yanasandhi upa-parva- BORI CE)
Here we see Arjun, Draupadi, Krishna and Satyabhama spending cosy time, drinking and having fun and NO ONE was allowed to enter. Even though only Nakul and Sahdev are mentioned, it's probably because they were younger than Krishna and Arjun but others were older so they couldn't exactly order them to not disturb them lol.
Also notice their body language. I've seen some people complaining 'how can Arjun's foot rest on Satyabhama's lap?' Not only this tells us how close the friends were, also proves exactly how advanced, liberal and open minded Satyabhama, Arjun , Krishna and Draupadi were.
I'm trying my best to portray their friendship in Vajragni, and I enjoy writing on them SO much 😍

6• This one is probably the funniest ParAv and ArDi moment that I've talked about previously lol.
d. “O king! No inauspicious marks can be seen in him, but for the fact that the lion among men has cheekbones that are exceedingly large. That is the reason the tiger among men is perpetually fighting. I do not see any other reason why Jaya should have his share of misery.” O lord! Thus addressed by the intelligent Krishna, the foremost among the Kurus told the tiger among the Vrishnis that this was indeed true. However, Krishnaa Droupadi cast a sidelong glance towards Krishna. The slayer of Keshi accepted this as a sign o affection. She was his friend. Dhananjaya was also his friend and like Hrishikesha himself.
Here's the back story.
Yudhishthir asked Krishna why is Arjun always travelling and why can he never spend time with his family despite having all auspicious marks on his body Draupadi was also presented there
And Krishna being the mischievous annoying friend told Yudhishthir that it's because Arjun has high cheek bones. He most probably said this to vex Draupadi. I dont think Krishna used to believe in such things
Yudhishthir not getting the joke was like "Oh okay"
While Draupadi gave Krishna a long suffering look that says "How dare you criticise my husband's flawless cheekbones" 😂😂
And notice the last line, Krishna accepted that as a sign of AFFECTION.
And don't even ignore the line where it says "Dhananjaya was also his friends and like Hrishikesha himself"
Dhanjajya= Hrishikesha
Hrishikesha= Dhananjaya❀❀
7•The kind of faith Krishna had on
Arjun's valour.Krishna to Sanjay:—
"Savyasachi’s Gandiva bow is full of power and is invincible. He has an enmity with you and that is the reason I am helping him now. With me as an aide, who wishes to challenge Partha, even if it were to be Purandara himself, unless because of destiny, his time has come? He can raise the earth with his arms. He can angrily burn down these beings. He can dislodge the thirty gods from heaven. Who can defeat Arjuna in battle?
Among the gods, asuras, men, yakshas, gandharvas and serpents, I do not see anyone who is capable of withstanding the Pandava in battle. An extraordinary wonder in the city of Virata is spoken about and is sufficient example,
when a single one was enough to counter many. Faced with Pandu’s son alone in the city of Virata, they were shattered and fled in all the directions. This is sufficient example. Such strength, valour, energy, speed, dexterity of hand, perseverance and fortitude are found in no one other than Partha.”’”According to Krishna, there's absolutely no one, including Gods, Yakshas, Gandharvas even Indra/Purandar, who can defeat Arjuna. *swoons* *smacks herself back to reality*
Doesn't Krishna seems like a proud dad talking about his kid's achievement 😁😆 they're the cutest.
Aaj ke liye itna hi...
