At the age of Mahabharata, there was a small but independent state named Manipur whose king Chitravahan wanted a prince for himself. He then worshipped Lord Shiva and got a girl. According to Mahadev's order and his own desire, he rared her as a boy...
Arjuna slammed his fist on a chair crashing its upper part. Bhrishaketu and Bheem were sitting with him but they maintained their silence. They also felt overwhelmed by the sudden flow of the situation.
"May be some rivalry." Bheem's voice did not sound convincing in his own ears.
"But why??!! God damn why??!! Why such enmity??!!" Arjuna asked again.
"Manipur is your in-laws state. There none can remain so deadly enemy of yours, kakashree (uncle)." Brish's logic sounded good.
"I will see by myself who he is." Arjuna answered all.
"But Anuj (young brother)..." Bheem tried to stop him.
"Don't worry. I am not going to fight him. I am going to watch him from far." He assured them and went away.
Both the two men in the room were speechless. ....
"You look good. Do you always it so much grass, friend? Are you petu (voracious eater)?"
Arjuna stared with utmost suprise to the direction of a young boy talking absentmindedly with the horse and shoving grassing in his mouth. He could attack him from behind now to defeat him.
But he was wrong. Babrubahan's ears were much more sensitive to hear a slightest tremble on the earth. Even now he could sense Arjuna's sound of breething from the farthest back of a tree. He smirked in mind. His mother was his mentor. He knew how to win over an opponent attacking from his backside.
Without turning back he answered to hiding man "Are you truly satisfied in seeing me? Or are you intend to do more?"
Arjuna narrowed his eyes. His brows brewed toghether. How on the earth this boy guessed his presence??!!

"Balak (boy), who are you?" He asked.
"A balak (boy)." Babru answered.
"What are you doing here in this deep forest?" Another question.
"Feeding grass to my friend." Babru indicated the horse.
"Balak, don't you know you already have caught a horse of Hastinapur? You can be punished for that." He asked again.
"Ok. I accept my punishment. But only from Arjuna." Babru demanded.
"Why Arjuna?!! Did he do some wrong to you balak?!!" He asked once more.
"He did something to my guru. My mother." Babru answered truthfully.
"Your mother?!! Absurd!! Arjuna in his whole life never disregard an woman." His father's answer to him. (Perhaps he forgot Chitrangada.)
"I don't know. I have to fight with him. In a duel. And to deafeat him. That's all." Babru answered him.
