Sixteen years have passed. Everything has been changed know. There, Hastinapura was growing with prosperity under the rule of Raja Parikshit whereas Krishna's blood Vajranabha ruled over Indraprastha. Kids have grown up now. Bhimasena and Sarvayashi's happy life saw it's begin and end soo soon. The other side deep inside the forests of Lalithas, Satyapriya and her son Prabhasa are now living a life filled with peace.
Satyapriya's hairs are now adorned with few silver strands. After all she is now a woman of 52.
A slender creeper of beautiful pink flowers encircled the arm of a sixteen years old handsome lad. He sighed and giggled.
" I won't run away from here dear. Let me go and see my mother" He chuckled and pecked the creeper as if it's a love stuck maiden.
" Come on give the flowers for Devi. I am running out time" He instructed the flower plants and sat on the nearby rock. Soon few little birds surrounded him followed a white Pigeon which sat on his shoulder. He affectionately called as Sundari.
Following the orders of Prabhasa the flower plants dropped their flowers down by themselves. He smiled. He loved everyone of then soo dearly.
He sat down to collect them and his bird partners helped him too. It was clearly evident that how much the nature loved Prabhasa.
Soon a loud roar of Lion greeted Prabhasa. It was familiar to him.
" Fine, Kesari is calling me I must go. You know his temper anyway. See you all soon " Prabhasa caressed few plants and ran away followed by his 'Sundari'.
Riding on his Kesari he neared their residence where his mother was waiting for him.
" Welcome Rajakumara, welcome. You remembered me now" Satyapriya threw a taunt over his son. She just walked inside as soon as seeing him.
" Correction Amma, I am the King " Prabhasa chuckled and got down from his Kesari.
He ran behind his mother in order to pacify her.
" I have told you lot of time. Kesari is a lion not a cat Prabha stop going with him. What if anything happens to you?" Satyapriya was seriously worried.
" Amma he is a lion but don't forget that I brought him up. He won't hurt me. Even if he does I am happy with it " Prabhasa passed a genuine smile to Satyapriya hugging his Kesari.
" It's a simple fact Amma. If you love everything everything loves you that's all " He grinned.
Satyapriya was numb. Currently Prabhasa appeared as a learned scholar to her eyes. He has learnt many things which she never thought him. Nature trained him soo well. Satyapriya just gave a soft smile. But Prabhasa was shocked he expected another arrow of taunt.
" Amma?" He sat next to her.
" What will happen to you after I die? I am getting old Prabha. I must do something and get you excelled in weapons too " Satyapriya expressed her worries. Prabhasa sighed and turned towards his mother.
" Can't anyone breath without killing others?" Prabhasa's question was unexpected.
" Your whole clan was filled with finest warriors. My mistake was I didn't taught weapons to my rest children. I can't do the same with you. I can't let you learn only medicine. You nurse all injured animals other than your Kesari's prey. Will you end your life like this?" She said sternly.
" What happened ultimately? The pride of superiority inside the clan killed everyone. Isn't it?" Prabhasa asked. Satyapriya had no answers.
" Who said Vaidya Shashtra is less? Infact it's a Yagna, it's a great war. War with Kaala Yama. Should I tell this to you?" He smiled. Satyapriya failed to find words to continue.
" But it's for your own good " She tried her best.
" Whatever it is, I have selected my passion. I love to save people. I won't kill anyone to save me and until and unless this Kesari and this Vanadevi stays by my side nothing can touch me" Prabhasa hugged his mother.
Satyapriya pecked his cheek. She wished for his happiness.
" And where is your one more partner? He haven't came here since ages" She asked sarcastically.
Before Prabhasa could react he heard the loud trumpet of an elephant.
" I have to go Amma. Gajendra is in trouble" Prabhasa didn't wasted a moment he just mounted on his Kesari and vanished in a snap ignoring his mother's calls.
He spotted the elephant which was also his partner whose leg was deeply injured by a sharp spear.
" Gajendra " Horrified Prabhasa rushed towards Gajendra but accidentally the arrow which was aimed for elephant pierced Prabhasa's arm.
Prabhasa held his bleeding arm and firstly avoided Kesari for approaching the direction from where the arrow came.
Prabhasa quickly plucked some medicinal leaves nearby and squeezed them extracting the juices. He applied it to Gajendra's injury.
A royal Chariot made it's way towards Prabhasa. He looked up to find a huge branch of a tree quivering vigorously.
" No I say no don't harm them" Prabhasa said but he was late. The branch fell on the chariot ultimately breaking the chariot.
The charioteer died in the spot and the Royal person was injured badly.
" Gajendra move the branch " Prabhasa instructed and rushed forward to pull the injured man out safely.
" Kindly forgive us Rajan. They became angry because of my injury. Please come with me and accept our hospitality " He requested him.
Injured Prince Ugrasena fainted in his arms.
Prabhasa soon carried Ugrasena towards their residence and placed him on the stone slab of their cave temple.
