This 'Went away' wasn't a buttered slice to chew with, Maharshi! In the time of peace, when they were all set out for another excavation into space in search of new life-forms, they knew where exactly they are going, how far away it is from home and the route and possible guide-map to that place. The expedition team used to deliver all the information needed in this regards with the aid of their 'television' devices, their calculations. But, in this case, no 'home' is behind to greet them, no idea of where they are going, no estimated calculation of time to complete their journey – no support at all! They are just running blindly forward; as blind as bat! They cannot go to any of their colonies. Why? Because the invading 'Asurs' must have retrieved all the data from the headquarter of the Gods already; any days they could commence an attack on these retreating Gods and crush them like a tin can. In the first place, they had to roam indefinitely for a relatively long period in the cosmos; some of the injured Gods met to their end in this endless course. Later, they held a conference where they took a firm decision. On their way into the last expedition, they came across a new solar system at the edge of a newly discovered galaxy. So, this time they decided to hold their horses in it. There were some vantage points in favor of staying there; the first point is – the primitive life form on this planet. All the lives here were constructed mainly of unicellular organisms. Technically, there was no potential threat that they had to take on. The second point is – safety and security. This 'new' solar system is unknown to 'Tripura' territory. No major data or records revealing its proper location was sent to the Headquarter in this regards. This could buy the escaping Gods some prolonged time span to conceal themselves off from the eyes of chasing 'Asurs'. Though there is no guarantee that they won't be 'found', ever; still, it is good to stay in shades for some indefinite period. It will give them some added time to prepare. Moreover, there is no other habitable zone around; if they make themselves strong enough in their new home by the time to withstand some of the attacking waves of the invaders, they can hold them back for an indefinite period longer. Everybody needs resupply and definitely, the enemies will be out of it soon due to lacking a 'port' nearby. So –
-"I would interfere here, Maharshi Markendeya, but this solar system, this planet – is it our beloved Earth that you are talking about?" – Maharshi Valmiki asked in between.
-"Definitely no, Maharshi Valmiki. But this place, this new planet is not far away from our home, well, technically according to God's point of view! This new solar system they are residing at is out of the orbit of our own, but it is residing in the same galaxy as we are. The planet is revolving around a Star; and the motion of this star is manipulated by another white, dwarf star. Both of these stars are invisible in naked eyes. In some distant future, men will be able to see them with the aid of a powerful looking glass, both the stars with all their secrets will be revealed to them."
-"This means, nobody in our time or in the near future will be able to see these stars ever, Maharshi Markendeya?"
-"You are just trying to stretch your steps broader, Maharshi Valmiki! To know the future now will make you neglect the present. You are such a wise intellect, and now you are just running past away impatiently from this eternal truth? Still, for your mental peace, let me inform you that your anxiety is baseless. It is visible somehow to a mystic race of humans of your time and further. I can say to you with utmost confidence that in this World, in your time, by the end of a deep blue sea, there is a huge continent with densest forests on the Earth and huge diversified animal kingdom. A primitive race or tribe there know about these stars and about the special planet that was inhabited by the Gods! This is unknown to me how did they 'see' this constellation and how did the same revealed to them without any powerful looking glass, but there is a mystic tune that makes the whole tribe dance in every fifty years! Do you know the irony, Maharshi? This planet takes a complete spin around its star in this Earthly time span, fifty years!! 'Happy new year' to someone up there, I guess."
-"Forgive me, I couldn't read this part. Anyways, the Gods settled down in that unknown planet; then?"
