" Shambo mahadeva " a pilgrim chanted loudly as he stepped into the temple of Kashi Vishwanatha. Shrinivasa sat watching him experiencing his roller coaster of emotions for achieving the greatest wish of his life.
Shrinivasa smiled. He was resting in the banks of river Ganga, his 5 months long Deshatane brought him to the land of Kashi Vishwanatha, Varanasi.
" When are we leaving Varanasi Yuvaraja? We are staying here from a month now. The gaurd asked Shrinivasa offering water to him.
" Varanasi is soo peaceful. It looks new everyday " He smiled.
" What else is remaining now Yuvaraja? You visited Kerala pranthya and learnt a lesson of Martial arts, you looked into the nyaya neethi of Ujjani and Pataliputra. Isn't it enough?" Gaurd continued.
" Ultimately we live a life too, the essence of life is taught here, in this sacred land of Varanasi. I am waiting to learn a different lesson from this city too " Shrinivasa concluded. As they both moved further, they were greeted by a imperfect singing of Smashanvasi, the man who is in charge of the Smashana.
Shrinivasa walked in that direction to see a thin and frail old man, who was coated with a layer of Bhasma holding a long thick stick and flipping a burning corpse ensuring it burns and reduce into ashes perfectly.
" Just by applying vibhuti nobody can gain Kailasa " He sang, literally killing the arrangement of Saptaswaras, it clearly showed his lack of knowledge in Sangeetha.
Shrinivasa found him interesting and approached with a genuine smile.
" What you want?" The smashanvasi asked. He had no tinge of being humble and respectful towards him or anybody. He didn't cared anyone.
" Your lines were ture sir, can you accept me as your assistant for a couple of days? I wish to learn from you " Shrinivasa said.
Smashanvasi laughed his heart out.
" You look soo young my boy, why do you want Vairagya now? Get a girl for yourself and enjoy your life go away " He said.
" I have everything Sir, also I have left everything for a while to gain knowledge, that's why I am asking your permission to be with you " Shrinivasa smiled.
Smashanvasi threw his stick towards Shrinivasa, which he caught it skillfully.
" Look after this corpse then, let's have a talk later " Smashanvasi ordered and left.
Shrinivasa gracefully accepted the command and started to do his work, having no other way left the gaurd too joined him.
Satyabhama came to see Rukmini who was resting in her chamber after finishing the her classes. Rukmini was lost in caressing her enormously grown baby bump. It's her 6th month of pregnancy.
" Seems like no work for me, I shall go " Satyabhama said sarcastically and turned to leave. It for catching Rukmini's attention.
Rukmini looked up and giggled.
