The palace of Hastinapur was alive with a whirlwind of activity as the news of Isha's childbirth spread. The entire kingdom was abuzz, and the excitement was palpable. 

Isha had just given birth to a beautiful baby boy, and everyone was eager to meet the new addition to the royal family. 

Abhimaan Dev, along with his family, Krishna, and Karna, embarked on the journey to Hastinapur as quickly as possible. Their arrival was highly anticipated, and the atmosphere in the palace was electric with anticipation.

The grand procession started with Abhimaan, resplendent in royal attire, leading the way. His family followed suit, adding their own charm to the occasion.

 Abhimaan's parents, who were warm and welcoming, were greeted with much excitement. Abhimaan's siblings, known for their quirks, added to the lively scene. 

Krishna and Karna, ever the mischief-makers, kept everyone entertained with their playful antics.

As they entered the palace, the grandeur of the decorations and the vibrant atmosphere were evident. The palace had been transformed into a grand festival, celebrating the arrival of the new baby.

Isha, though tired, was radiant as she held her newborn son. Abhimaan approached with a mixture of tenderness and excitement. 

He gently took the baby from Isha's arms, his eyes welling up with tears of joy."Oh, Isha," Abhimaan said softly, his voice filled with emotion. 

"He's perfect. Our little prince."Isha smiled, her eyes shimmering with pride. "He is indeed. I'm so happy you're here to meet him."

With Abhimaan's arrival, the attention shifted to the baby once more. The Kuru princes, eager to show off their baby-handling skills, took turns holding the newborn. Their earlier attempts had been comical, and now the fun continued.

Yudhishthira, determined to be the best uncle, carefully wrapped the baby in a blanket. Unfortunately, his meticulous efforts resulted in the baby looking like a little bundle of mismatched fabric. The sight had everyone laughing heartily.

Bhima, trying to impress, held the baby high above his head with a triumphant grin. The baby, seeming to enjoy the view, cooed happily, while everyone else watched with amusement.

Arjuna, always the strategist, attempted to sing a lullaby. His version was a peculiar mix of epic verses and modern tunes, leaving everyone in stitches as the baby gurgled in confusion.

Nakul and Sahadeva, keen to join in, organized a makeshift parade for the baby. Their improvised chariot, decorated with blankets and pillows, wobbled hilariously as they paraded around the courtyard. The baby, secure in his little seat, seemed to enjoy the ride, much to everyone's delight.

Krishna and Karna, having heard the news, decided to make their grand entrance. Krishna, with his trademark mischievous grin, teased Karna about his timing. "If you had been punctual, you could have been the first to hold the baby. But I see you've made a grand entrance instead."

Karna, slightly embarrassed but good-natured, retorted, "I had to make sure my entrance was memorable. After all, one must make an impression."

Their playful banter added a lighthearted touch to the proceedings. Krishna engaged in witty repartee with the Kuru princes, making everyone laugh with his clever comments and humorous observations.

The palace was alive with celebration. The corridors were filled with laughter, music, and the tantalizing aroma of delicious food. A grand feast was laid out, showcasing the culinary skills of Hastinapur's finest chefs. 

The guests, including Abhimaan's family, enjoyed the feast while basking in the festive atmosphere.

The baby, now the center of attention, was passed around among the guests. Abhimaan's family, especially his parents, were overjoyed to meet their grandchild. They showered him with love and blessings, their hearts brimming with pride.

**The Kuru Princes and Their Comedy Routine**

The Kuru princes, despite their earlier attempts to impress, continued to provide comic relief. Bhima, after a hearty meal, challenged Arjuna to a wrestling match. 

Their playful struggle, coupled with the baby's occasional wails, created a humorous spectacle that had everyone laughing.

Duryodhana, who had been observing with a mix of amusement and irritation, decided to join the fun. "If you all keep this up," he said with a grin, "we might need to develop a new strategy for handling the baby."

His comment only added to the hilarity, as the princes and guests joined in the laughter. The atmosphere was one of joy and camaraderie, with everyone coming together to celebrate the newest member of the family.*

As the celebration continued, Isha decided to tease the Kuru princes further. "You know," she said with a mischievous glint in her eye, "now that we have a new family member, it might be a good time for the Kuru princes to start thinking about their own families."

The princes, caught off guard by her suggestion, exchanged nervous glances. "We've been so focused on welcoming the baby," 

Yudhishthira said diplomatically, "that we haven't really thought about it."Isha's eyes sparkled with mischief as she continued, "Well, now might be the perfect time to start. After all, you don't want to miss out on the joys of family life, do you?"*

The princes responded to Isha's suggestion in their own humorous ways.

 Bhima, ever enthusiastic, began listing potential brides from neighboring kingdoms, his excitement palpable. 

His attempts to remember all the names correctly led to a series of funny and confused mix-ups.

Arjuna, always the strategist, started planning a "marriage campaign," complete with charts and schedules. 

His elaborate plans, though impressive, were met with bemusement from the others, who couldn't help but laugh at his over-the-top approach.

Nakul and Sahadeva, trying to hide their embarrassment, exchanged awkward glances. 

Their blushing faces and nervous laughter added to the comedy of the moment.

Duryodhana, who had initially been skeptical, decided to voice his thoughts. "You know, Isha," he said with a grin, "if you keep making suggestions like this, we might just start taking them seriously."

The elders, including Kunti and Gandhari, watched the lively interactions with amusement and satisfaction. 

The presence of Abhimaan's family and the celebration of the baby's arrival had brought a renewed sense of joy and unity to Hastinapur.

Kunti, reflecting on the events, felt a deep sense of contentment. "It's wonderful to see the family coming together like this," she remarked. "The laughter and joy in the palace remind us of the importance of family and togetherness."
