God of War

Mahabal kidnapped Vindyavasini

Danavlok

In the meeting room of the Danava Royal Palace, Diti, Valdeva, Vahudeva, their ministers, and generals gathered to discuss their future strategies.

Valdeva spoke, "Although we have kidnapped some royalties of Anga and Panchal, the reality is that King Suyodhana will never surrender. They are true Kshatriyas, unlike their Devputra cousins. The sons of Dhritarashtra will never abandon their subjects to our mercy."

Chamur and Chikkur, the two mighty generals of Mahabal, replied, "Maharaj, even if they refuse to surrender, we have enough soldiers to annihilate Anga."

Mahabal added, "And then we will bring all the women of Anga and Dwarka to Patallok and use them for our entertainment, just as we do with the Apsaras of Swarg."

Diti interrupted, "Vahu, this is no time to think about entertainment. Let us win the war first."

Valdeva confidently declared, "I am certain of our victory. I have requested Dev Vasusen to create a weapon as powerful as the Brahmastra. He has already prepared it for me, and I will call it Vinashastra. It can destroy everything in its path, and only I can stop it. If these mere humans refuse to bow down, I will obliterate the entire region along with them."

Vahudeva cautioned, "But, brother, what if Dev Vasusen becomes enraged? He specifically told you to use it only for defense, not destruction."

Valdeva scoffed, "Why should I listen to him? He is our prisoner. After destroying Anga, I will attack Veerlok and crown myself the ruler of the Navgrahas."

Meanwhile, Mahabal thought to himself, 'Father, you don't need to attack Veerlok. I will force Devi Vindyavasini to marry me, and through her, I will become the ruler of Veerlok.'

Diti, however, had her own plans. She thought, 'I must speak with Dev Vasusen and convince him to marry his daughter to Mahabal. Once Veerlok is ours, we can control Devi Niyati as well, and then we will hold dominion over everyone's fate. But before the marriage, I must approach Dev Vasusen diplomatically and persuade him to accept Mahabal as his son-in-law. Once Devi Vindyavasini is in our grasp, I will show both Dev Vasusen and Devi Niyati what Diti truly is.'

The next day, Valdeva and Vahudeva, along with their generals, marched to battle against Anga, while Diti went to Vasusen's palace to complete her puja and discuss her plans with him.

Mahabal remained alone in the palace, lost in his obsession with Devi Vindyavasini. Suddenly, Devarshi Narada appeared.

"Prince Mahabal, why are you sitting here alone?" Narada asked with a mischievous smile. "No wine, no music, no beautiful women?"

Mahabal replied, "Devarshi, these days, neither wine nor women interest me. Ever since I saw Vindyavasini, she has captured my heart. I will find peace only when she is mine."
