The next morning -------

" Rise up, the future of whole Aaryavart, the day has finally come, the entire Mathura is eagerly awaiting to see a new sunrise with their true heirs!!" Akrur, alongwith his two sons, hopped into the chamber of Krishna-Balram only to find both of them nodding merrily.

They had their breakfast and went to the wrestling arena , both of the two brothers were dressed grandly
Their turbans had transformed into small crowns adorning their curly hairs ; Krishna had a couple of peacock feathers in his crown & his flute closely pressed to his
waistband . They were literally looking like gods ; the residents of Mathura had waited for them and as the two appeared ,they bowed their princes, their saviours and prayed to Tridev for blessing them, for making them able to fight and slay that tyrant Kans , and set their parents free out of his exploitation.

As both of them entered into the battlefield ,they were blocked by the mighty elephant Kuvalyapeeta, fully inebrieted as Kans had ordered its rider so that it can crush the divine brother duo in a jiffy . But instead , Krishna had held the beast by its trunk and swirled it several times and finally released it hard on the ground ,thus causing the death of the elephant.

Krishna looked up curiously for witnessing his Vaidarbhi but she had not arrived yet, getting curious , he prayed to Umapati Shankar -

" Hey Mahadev, please help me find out my Rukmini, as i fervently wish to put an end to mamashree in front of her so that his soul can have the blessing of my Shree. "

No sooner than he prayed to Devadidev, he felt a beautiful zephyr surrounding him , and an announcement was made-

" Everyone stand up , your lord , Maharaj Kans , has reached the ampitheatre with our special guests for today's wrestling match.
Please welcome prince Rukmi, the crown prince of Vidarbha and his sister, the soul and pride of Vidarbha , princess Rukmini..." on hearing  this, he immediately turned to the throne to witness her.

He only held his breath as she entered in her royal swan like gait, as beautiful as ever.......she was wearing a cremish white nauvari saree with crimson red border ....her hair was open ....making her more appealing ....the holy yet intoxicating sansalwood lotus fragrance from her body was filling the atmosphere .....making him go ecstastic .....

Balram shook him , much to his dismay, and told him to focus on his first step to change the destiny of Aaryavart by killing that Kans to which krishna shrugged off his feelings .

Kans had sent his two notorious wrestlers , Chanura and Mushtika
to fight with Krishna & Balram and they came hovering to the brother duo.....

But Krishna Balram within a moment , had broken their neck and uttered
" MUKTIVATSU" ( may you leave the cycle of birth and death and attain mukti i.e. ultimate freedom from the earthly illusions and get merged into the holy body of the supreme godhead )....

Kans ,thus witnessing the death of his favourite fighters , rushed to krishna like a bull with his clenched fist holding his sword and tried to jump onto his divine body.....

Seeing this , Vaidarbhi was fully horrified.....she was clearly trembling .....she had concealed her face with her beautiful buttery hands .....she started sobbing and internally was praying hard inyernally to her Girija Maa who was like a second mother to her....
" O mother of Kartikeya and Gajanana , o mother of the universe , please help Krishna fight against Kans Maharaj ..... please be in favour of him.... o mother...."

Krishna had, by this time, got hold of Kans's hair and took his sword off his hand and in a splash of second ,beheaded him right infront of the other guests and the onlookers ...... and finally uttered
" Muktivatsu " ......

Upon slaying his maternal aunt , and receiving congratulations from the residents of Mathura, Mukunda , alongwith Sankarshana , headed towards their parents Mata Devaki & Pita Vasudev and their grandfather and the prior king of Mathura, Maharaj Ugrasen who were already brought into the arena by Akrur as Rukmini herself had already ordered the soldiers to bring them and went into their dark abode all by herself and Trivakra.

Rukmi had been so astonished and taken aback upon the killing of Kans by the lad whom he had met first time in Mathura that he immediately had taken his leave to Vidarbha.......and had sent a message through a royal messenger to Rukmini asking her to leave the city as early as she could.

Vaidarbhi had bent and touched the feet of her would be in - laws shyly.
Both Devaki and Vasudev were pleased by her sweet behaviour and wished internally to make her their younger daughter -in -law as soon as they had seen her graceful boundless beauty as she was none other than GODDESS MAHALAKSHMI herself .

Later on ,Mata Rohini alongwith a teen Subhadra united with the family , she had come to Mathura the previous day, escorted by Akrur himself ......

Rukmini , upon seeing the reunion , was in tears as she was recapitulating the days of her childhood with her Matoshree , and to hide her tears ,she took her leave ....and ran away to her room and closing the door ,started sobbing hard ......
