These 6 years after her birth passed like a sweet dream , within the shelter of her affectionate parents & her always careful yet little bit possessive brothers around her . But as they say- life is too hard and merciless to be predicted, within one night, her life was shattered , so was her other siblings as the queen had left them forever for her heavenly abode , leaving everyone speechless and mourning.

But it was too harder for her to interprete the whole predicament and react completely at just 6 years of age. She was devastated , both interiorly and exteriorly, she couldn't help but accept the truth . But also she couldn't afford to witness her father and 5 other brothers , still reluctant to perceive the circumstance. Despite of her intense grief, she had to provide her family the solace required. So she stopped lamenting and made up her mind to take care of her father and 5 siblings psychiatrically,wiping her tears falling uncontrollably down her reddish cheeks , she approached her eldest brother , Rukmi, and said -

" Agraja, please arrange the funeral procession for matoshree, she'snot only ours , but she's been the same for all subjects of Vidarbha."

Rukmi nodded , with a heavy heart , he departed for checking the funeral procession .

After a few days, Rukmini entered into Bhishmaka's chamber, only to find him heavily inebriated , unable to keep himself steady after the death of his beloved wife, he was mourning so much that he failed to notice his only daughter hesitating to enter into his room . After a few moments , she finally called out " Pitashree" , her voice broken , limbs trembling , it felt like she was the one who had successfully suppressed her emotions during these days, but she couldn't bear the excruciating pain anymore, it was burning her soul. Bhishmaka cursed himself for unnoticing his little princess's grief-striken condition and ran towards her and picked her in his arms . Bhaishmaki , after trying hard to conceal it, finally broke down into tears and eventually had fallen asleep in her father's arm .

After few hours , she woke up , only to find herself in her majestic chamber , with shreema , her best friend , fanning her vigorously , staring into her face with grave concern . As she got up from the bed , she was told that her father , king Bhishmaka wanted her to be in the chamber near the Girija Devi temple as soon as she could .

" The king ordered me escort you to the chamber , the other 5 princes are there , awaiting you. Get ready princess" - shreetama reciprocated the words of Bhishmaka , to which Vaidarbhi gave a meek consent.

In the evening , little Rukmini was astonished to find the sage she had heard of numerous times . The great son of Bhramha, creator of the 3 worlds , and one of the foremost devotees of lord Narayana , standing in front of her. She quickly approached him with her hands folding in utter respect. Narada felt the presence of his mother Lakshmi , the eternal consort of Vishnu, and turned to see the princess ......as beautiful as a freshly bloomed lotus.... no sooner had he seen  her , he experienced his eyes , flooding with tears ,this was the very goddess whom he longed to see afar , his mother. His trance was broken by her when she touched the great feet of the sage , and quested for his blessings .

"Narayana ,Narayana, your majesty , so this is the princess of yours? Well , pranipaat rajkumari , i have come here in accordance with your father, maharaj Bhishmak's urge to teach you about vedas , upanishadas , and the ancient culture of this holy land of aryavart and i'll be more than happy to teach you , " devarshi paused ,only to see Rukmini 's eyes brightening with curiosity .

" It will be my honour if you educate me , oh great son of the creator of the universe , and i 'll be highly obliged if you make me your student " Rukmini's eyes twinkling in joy as she hopefully responded.

" Yes devarshi , i know that only you can be the perfect educator to her, we want the best for her , nothing else for our munchkin " Rukmanetra could not but exclaimed and saying this the king followed by his other 5 sons left the chamber.

"So princess , what do you want to know first ? About the deities , the pious scriptures , cultures of your land or simply stories about the incarnations of lord Vishnu , Narayana ,Narayana? " the great sage pondered a question to her .

Her oculo- receptors lit up in supreme joy on hearing merely the name of Padmanabha, and her auditory perceivers longed to hear those charming tales of his incarnations, unknowingly , she developed the immediate urge for listening to stories of the supreme godhead . "Narayana" she blushed profusely , her voice barely above a whisper , to which devarshi chuckled .
