We have all heard about Ēklāvyā. The ambitious warrior of the great epic Mahabharat. He is described to be a young prince of the Nishadas, a confederation of forest and hill tribes in ancient India. The warrior who's 𝘎𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘣𝘩𝘢𝘬𝘵𝘪 is immortal...
Author's POV. In the beautiful and peaceful forest of Pānchāāg lived a powerful tribe of people who were known as Nīshādās.
These people were usually very warm and welcoming until someone tries to transpass. Coming in their forest without permission was forbidden.
People who did try to enter would have to face immediate and painful death, they really prioritize their protection over human life.
The most powerful of them all was Hīrānyādhānūsh who was considered the tribal leader. He was kind hearted but very aggressive.
When given the rule of the Nīshādās he took an oth of celibacy which was because he wanted to focus all his attention in protecting his people.
But sometimes while petroling in the tribal village he would often come across people who had children which would genuinely hurt his heart.
He knows that due to his oth if celibacy he couldn't get married or conceive children throughNīyōgā. But his deepest desires where to have a child whom he could call his own.
[Nīyōgā was a practice, primarily followed during the ancient period. It permitted either the husband or the wife who had no child by their spouse to procreate a child with another man or a woman.]
His oth of celibacy stated that he was restricted from getting married and practicing any sexual relations which made it nearly impossible to have children.
But this couldn't stop him from wishing for a son and a daughter to whom he could pass on his legacy, his skills, his responsibilities and his love. He felt incomplete without having children.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts and was walking past the beautiful Ganga river that flowed through the forest. He noticed the beautiful moon, which had an unusual glow.
Such a beautiful glow that he had never seen in his 36 years on this earth. Just then there was a heavenly glow that appeared in the sky.
Which caused all the people in the tribe to assemble where their king stood, Hīrānyādhānūsh took out his weapons just in case. Just then a heavenly voice spoke.....
This message from the heven made the people of the tribe dance with happiness upon the arrival of their prince.
Just then a light Emmeting figure descendent on the Earth. It was Shānīdēvā.
A young masculine figure with well built body, dark skinned with palms having pinkish tone, he was carrying a sword in one hand and a Sceptre in the other. He had blue dhoti and uttariya drapped on his body. He sat on a crow with and had a calm expression.

he looked at Hīrānyādhānūsh with a calm smile and put forward his right hand.
A tiny figure now layed on Hīrānyādhānūsh's arms as all the tribals bowed their heads and sat on their knees as a sign of welcome.
Shānīdēvā : Your son would be a part of me. His deeds would always be for the good of people around him, he would strongly follow the law of Karma. He would be one of the greatest ruler of Āryāvat and would serve justice to all. He would be responsible, dedicated and would be very ambitious. He would be called as Ēklāvyā.
Just as they were about to leave another bright glow blinded them. When the light faded before their eyes stood...
A feminine figure with dark skin, bright green eyes which had a kind, welcoming yet fierce glow in them. Her body was wrapped in a beautiful white saree with gold and perl jewels along with a single white flower adorning her hair. Devi Yāmunā. (Please ignore the veena)

Everyone bowed their heads in respect to the devine Brother-sister duo who have ultimately come to bless them with a part of themselves who are also related as brother-sister duo.
Yāmunā : Hīrānyādhānūsh! I'm here upon the instructions of the trīdēvās. My duty is to bless you with a daughter.
Hīrānyādhānūsh : But Mata, there was no such thing in the Ākāshvāni. How is this possible?
Yāmunā : I'm bound by Nīyati, she is here for the betterment of Āryāvat.
Saying so Devi Yāmunā put her right hand forward from which emerged a another tiny figure which layed peaceful in Hīrānyādhānūsh's arms.
Yāmunā : My daughter will have the most enchanting beauty, she will be known for her courage, deeds, fierce nature, her power, her intelligence and welfare of people. She is bound to change the destiny of Āryāvat. World will know her as Ēkāntka.
As devi's words concluded the devine duo disappeared. All the tribals assembled around the children to see them.
Ēklāvyā had beautiful dark skin which had a devine glow that of Shānīdēvā, his almond shaped striking blue eyes held innocence, his tiny pink lips had a small smile. His beauty can only be compared with that of Shānīdēvā.
All were awed by the beauty of their prince, they couldn't look away from them and then their eyes fell on the right side where layed Ēkāntka.
Ēkāntka too had beautiful dark skin which shined under the moon glow just like the waters of Devi Yāmunā. Beautiful doe shaped green eyes that could Peirce through anyone's heart and small pink lips. Complete Replica of Devi Yāmunā.
The tribals returned to their houses to prepare for the biggest feast they have ever seen for the welcome of their Prince and Princess who are the blessings of God.
