The whole court was in awe of Drina's knowledge. Drina went to Yudhishtir and said, "Thank you, Jyesht. Without your permission this could not happen". Yudhishtir just hugged her. " Now at least we won't be separated from us for a long time," he said

Kunti wanted to talk to Guru Dronacharya. " Pranipaat Guru Drona" Kunti entered the guest chamber

" Please enter, Rajmata Kunti," He said folding his hands

" Guru Drona, my husband always wanted his daughter to know the common man's problems. He believed she should lead battle before her brothers so that she could help her brothers from her experience. When Mahadev and Ma Parvati gave us Drina, she was a gem we could never dream of. I must tell you this Guruji, everyone thinks Drina is just like her brothers, but she is different. Her thinking is different, I hope you please never change that. I know I am asking a lot Guru Drona, I hope you understand I am just a mother." she explained her and Pandu's wishes

Guru Drona smiled " I will complete your and King Pandu's wishes. Pandav and PandavAnuja will be known in the whole Aryavart as the most bravest, fiercest, talented Warriors. " He declared

Mahabharat!

Drina and Pandavs were busy playing. Suddenly Arjun stopped, and everyone looked at him and he said "Parthvi (dear to Arjun ) you are the first Kuru Kanya who is going to get educated like Kshatriya men!"

" Not Kshatriya men, Arjun. In our shastras, a Kshatriya Kanya also has full rights to her education. It is we humans, who don't let them." corrected Yudhishtir

" I believe that everyone has a right to education Jyesht, whether Kshatriya or Sut, either man or woman. We all are children of Bhagwan, aren't we?" She advised her views.

Even though none of them agreed with her views but they didn't argue, knowing she would grow upset. They smiled and nodded but their smile dropped as they saw Duryodhan and Dushhasan entering the garden.

Dushhasan scoffed "Kshatriya Kanya" he mocked " You were picked up in the forest. You must be a daughter of a beggar or a maid. You are so dirty, unchaste and impure that even your birth parents left you." Duryodhan laughed

" DURYODHAN!" They all roared " How dare you say that to our sister!" Arjun snapped

" I will end you " Bheem's eyes burst with rage

" We will make sure that you are deeply sorry for that" Nakul vowed

" Don't you dare say anything about her chaste or purity" Sahadev warned

" Our sister is Ayonija (one who isn't born from womb). She is the purest being" Yudhishtir sharply said

At this point, Duryodhan would be lying if he said he was not scared.

" Leave it Bhratshree. They will always pay for the sins they do. When Lion enters the jungle, the dogs bark. We should ignore it" Drina said with pride (Emotional Damage! 🤣). The Pandavs except Yudhishtir started to laugh

"How dare call us dogs" Duryodhan shouted at her

" I didn't say that you were a dog, I just gave an example. You are the one who assumed and claimed that you are a dog, not me" Drina smirked

This incident just lit another spark between the two groups. But who could do anything, this was the Maya of Niyati (fate). Soon it was time for farewell. The mothers and the whole Kuru Family were distraught at the thought of leaving their children but knew it was their Dharma.

" My 100 sons, Learn so you can become a great King," Dhritarashtra said

" You too PandavSantano (Children of Pandav) " He added hesitantly

" My children, always listen to your Gurudev. From this moment you owe everything even your life to him. Become great warriors." Kunti reminded her children

The Kauravs left and sat on the horses. The Pandav and Drina went to Dhritarashtra and touch his feet, he blessed them.

They went to their Badi Maa Gandhari " Sada Sukhi Bhava" she blessed them wholeheartedly

Yudhishtir, Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev went to their horses and saw that Parth and Parthvi were not there.

Arjun and Drina went to Pitamaha and touched his feet " Kirtiman Bhava" He blessed the duo

Arjun was about to leave when Drina went to Vidur Kaka and was about to touch his feet when stopped her and embraced her " The palace will be so silent without you putri," Vidur tearfully said

" Kakashree, after Pitashree's death, you have filled his place." She softly said, " How can a father ever be separated from his daughter?" She innocently asked as Vidur chuckled and petted her head affectionately. Arjun also took Vidur's blessing and both of them sat on their horses and left for the journey of their education.

----------------------------------------------------------

this chapter shows the protectiveness of Pandavs for Drina. and how she is very similar to Arjun and Pandavas yet beautifully different. Also wanted to show she is connected to Bhishma and Vidur.
