Story Unfolds :

In the sky Uruvi was fuming in rage. She went to meet her father Lord Shiva and told him everything. Her father looked at her direction with awe. Then he smiled a little. He knew what was going on.

"Pitashree, yeah anyay hain. (Father, it is injustice.)" She told him in angry voice.

Lord Shiva kept his silence. He knew about whom she was talking about!!

Brahma Dev ki shaap anaitik hain. (The curse of Lord Brahma is not just a bit.) She told him.

"Bhagwan aisi hi shaap nahin de te. Karan se dete hain. (A god never gives curse on unnecessary reason. It must have any reason.)" His father opened his mouth agape this time.

"Kya karan, Pitah?!! (What reason, dear father?!!)" She asked him in deep shock.

"Pratham karan, Pradumna-Padmaja ki Jivan ek sutra main and have huwa hain. Unki Mrityu sath sath hona tai hain. Unke janam se hi. Dwitiya aur karan, Padmaja ki santanwo ki niyati main Mata ki garv main Mrityu likha hain. Tritiya karan, wonke jivan dan karne ke khshamata keval do Devta ki haton main hain."

(First reason, Pradumna-Padmaja are united in life and death. It was already decided from their birth. The second reason, their sons are destined to die in her womb. Third reason, Her children would be revived by the two Gods.)

Her father answered her truthfully.

She looked genuinely taken aback by his answer. She did not understand what to do now. Whether to be angry or delighted?!!

"Aswamedha Yajna ki arambh toh abasyak hain!! Parantu woski liye ek Aswa ki Prayajon hain!! (For the good starting of an Aswamedha Yajna we need a horse.)" Mahamantri Vidur told everybody present in the Palace room of Hastinapur.
