In Vaikutham:

The Supreme God Vishnu lay on his Sheshnag while Goddess Lakshmi sat beside him, deep in thought. Vishnu asked his beloved what she was thinking so deeply about. Devi replied, "I am thinking about the fate of warriors who sacrificed their lives for the greater good, yet nothing has changed; if anything, it has worsened." Seeing the sadness on her face, Vishnu decided to change the course of the Mahabharata by including a person in Dwapara Yug. This person should never bow to arrogance but respect the innocence within living beings. This person would greatly help uphold Dharma.

Vishnu explained that although changing the course wouldn't prevent war, it would spare innocent lives. New ideologies would emerge, improving people's lives. The change would unveil the hidden light in places surrounded by darkness, showcasing greatness in small things and altering people's thinking in Dwapara Yug. Devi asked who this person could be, to which Vishnu replied, "You will see later."

In Mount Kailash:

Lord Shiva sat in deep meditation as Lord Vishnu arrived. Lord Vishnu turned to Goddess Parvati and spoke of his wife's sadness and the decision he made to intervene in Dwapara Yuga by introducing a person who could minimize the effects of war, protect the innocent, and uphold Dharma. He sought suggestions from Shiva and Brahma. As he spoke, Lord Brahma arrived, curious about the urgent call. Vishnu replied, "Let's wait for Shiva; I will explain everything."

All three gods and goddesses gathered, waiting for Vishnu's explanation. Vishnu spoke of his sadness and his desire to change the unfair fate of many by placing a suitable person in that position. Shiva, with a ghostly smile, said, "TATHASTU." Everyone looked at him in confusion, asking, "What are you saying?" Shiva explained that he was blessing his devotee, pointing to Vishnu. Understanding dawned, and Brahma asked, "How?" while the goddesses asked, "Who?"

Shiva simply said, "Look at that." They all turned their gaze to Bhoomi's 25th birthday. Lucifer had informed her family of his proposal plan, and they were delighted. However, a jealous person who had called her a gold digger planned to ruin their happiness by planting a bomb in a flower bouquet intended for Bhoomi. He thought that making her disappear would plunge them into misery, just like him.

Everything seemed perfect. Bhoomi was beautifully dressed in an outfit chosen by her parents, jewelry selected by her brothers and sisters-in-law, and a hairstyle done by her friends. She felt uneasy but didn't want to spoil their excitement. As she entered the venue, a small girl handed her a red rose bouquet, wishing her a happy birthday. Bhoomi accepted it with a smile and thanked her.

Unbeknownst to her, the bouquet had a bomb implanted in it. As she held it near her chest, she looked for her family. Others were hiding while Lucifer brought out the cake. Bhoomi's eyes lit up when she saw him. She asked if he had seen her family. Lucifer smiled, bent on one knee, took out a ring, and proposed, with both standing on either side of a table. Bhoomi, seeing her family approving, smiled and was about to answer when the bomb exploded. The force of the blast threw Bhoomi backward, her body bloodied. For everyone else, their ears were ringing.

Seeing this, Goddess Lakshmi asked what the relation was between these two. Shiva replied that Bhoomi had accumulated a lot of punya (merits/virtue) and her time had not ended, as she was destined to live 108 years. She would take birth in Dwapara Yuga to complete her journey and help uphold Dharma, protecting the innocent.

Hearing this, Goddess Lakshmi expressed concern, saying, "Isn't it wrong to make her die at that moment? Her parents were happy about their daughter's upcoming marriage. Are we not being selfish by doing this to her? Seeing her loved ones in so much pain makes my heart feel guilty, as she did nothing selfish in her life."

Shiva reassured her, saying, "Don't worry Devi. Her birth will bring great change in Dwapara Yuga, and she will have a happy family like she had now. Her family's current sadness is only to wipe away the sadness of many people. As for her marriage, you all will participate in it, and her husband will always be remembered in history. More importantly, Vishnu will always be there for her as she will be born as the blessing of Tridevi to King Chandrahasa of Kuntala after seven generations."

Lord Shiva continued, "She is your blessing, and we all have become her fathers. Do you think any father would place harm in their child's way? She is going to live a happy life, including in this life. Even if she faces any problems, we will all be there to help her find the way. Vishnu, you better protect my child with everything you have." Vishnu replied, "She is my daughter too. I will take care of her."

Hearing this, the goddesses were happy and urged them to start everything, eager to hold their child in their arms. To honor this, all Tridevi's child will be named Irawathi and will be born with all her memories of her past life, said Brahma. Once upon a cosmic twist, Lord Vishnu, with a mysterious smile, proposed rewriting the Mahabharata alongside Lord Shiva, whose smile mirrored Vishnu's own.

{According to my story, Karna and Yudhishthira have an eight-year difference. For example: Karna - 18 years, Yudhishthira - 10 years, Bhima - 9 years, Arjuna - 8 years, Nakula and Sahadeva - 7 years. Krishna and Arjuna share the same age, while Karna and Balarama are of the same age. This is purely imaginative and does not reflect the original age differences.}
