In one chamber the Devine flute is mesmerising the audience but in another chamber, the king is obsessively playing Chausar with Duryothan and Sakuni in turns. Krishna's Manmohak persona with flute at his lips taking every one into a state of bliss that is beyond worldly pleasures of any kind. The Brindavan with Natghat Kanha is visualised and felt by one and all. But Arjun knows the one who is playing flute in such an enchanting manner is perceiving a certain RadhaRani in his inner consciousness. Whenever Krishna plays flute it is a tribute to his love for Radha onceMadhav told his Parth. But Arjun feels for his friend who has to live in the memory of Radha but never to meet her again.
Arjun stood with Pragati on his shoulder enjoying the Devine music when Satya approached him with a hurt face. He won't forget her ever I think. She said as if she is murmuring to herself. Arjun sideglanced her and understood her line of thought. So what? He asked in a detached tone.Satya looked at him with pain in her eyes that he never saw before. You won't understand how it feels when the love of your life still cherishes the memories of his past love. You are fortunate as you are loved by one and all.
Arjun quipped. Sometimes getting loved by all also becomes a disadvantage . You will be irked when some one whom you never even looked at is obsessed about you.the thought itself will kill you from,inside. Any way you need not bother about Madhav's past love. They are eternally separated. They won't meet again in this life. And why do you want to restrain him from his memories also?See Rukmilni Didi never tried to get hold on him. How happy she is even when she knows her husband is dominated by her co wife and he has the image of his childhood love in his heart.Satya looked at Rukmini who forgot the surroundings and mesmerised by her lord's flute. I can't be like her. So detached and satisfied. Arjun,please ask my lord to stop that Devine music. Then only I will get my husband back from her thoughts. Arjun went on to the stage and placed his hand on his friend's shoulder.Krishna opened his eyes and stopped the flute. Every one came out of trance and clapped
. Satya came on to the stage and announced. Every one should come on the stage and announce about whom they are insecure. ...
Sahadev looked on with a worried look on his face. Yudhishtir continued winning every round. Duryothan and Sakuni praised him. You are an outstanding player Eldest. It is not easy to defeat you in dice game. Yudhishtir is elated. Really he got expertise it seems. He can win anything if not by valour atleast by Dice Game. Can he win Hastinapur for her sake? He should show her that without entering the battle field he can win their ancestral kingdom developed by his father. The Hastinapur Kingdom.Draupadi is tensed up. This is not the first time Duryothan called Yufhishtir for Dice Game. It already happened a couple of times earlier. Yudhishtir has this obsession for Dice game but so far he doesn't have company . His brothers hate the game and stay far away from that. The minister of Indraprastha occasionally plays with the King on his wish but without stakes. Ever since Duryothan came he makes it a point to invite the King for that game. So far It is heard that Yudhishtir won but where is the guarantee that the winning streak continues?
She should ask Bheem and Arjun to prevent him from playing further. As she is absorbed in her thoughts she heard Chitra's voice. I don't have any insecurity regarding any of my co wives. I am confident Of myself and I believe in my husband's love for me. Thunderous applause followed and Arjun thanked Chitra in his heart.
Jambavati came and admitted. I am insecure of Satya. Given the fact that she is the previlieged one she will accompany my lord everywhere. I regret that and feel insecure. I wonder if he remembers me or not. Satya had a smirk on her face while Krishna with a smile promised. Next time I will definitely take you when I go on any expedition.
Karenu came and declared. I am insecure of his beauty.the way he takes care of himself keeps me on my toes. I wish he gives less importance to his beauty and learns to be natural . nakul smiled and admitted. I am helpless It is beyond my limit to overlook my looks.
Kalindi came and confessed. I am insecure of Rukmini's devotion to Swami. I thought I am his great devotee but no she is far ahead of me. She won him over with her devotion.. Krishna smilingly taunted. I thought devotion has no competition. But very hard competition ahead. He side glanced Rukmini who blushed and turned red.
Then came Rekha I am not insecure of my co wives. We all have our own individuality and speciality. I feel our husband cares for all of us
Bhadra said that she is insecure of Rukmini whose devotion is unparalleled. Arya admitted. I got him due to the grace of Goddess Uma Parvati. She will definitely take care of my marital life. Kunti felt immensely pleased listening to her. Mitravinda also said that she is insecure of Satya's impact on her Lord. Lakshana supported her.Ulupi came on the stage and expressed her feelings. I don't think I have the right to feel insecure of any of my cowives.I don't have that much right on him as they all had. Panchali felt bad for her. She is suffering from inferiority complex she thought.
Rukmini confessed in a calm voice. I can't even think of insecurity. For I still consider myself not worthy of him yet. I should evolve as a person and as a wife. Every one clapped at her humble attitude.Subhadra admitted. I am not insecure. I am confident of my presence in his life. Finally Satya confessed. I am not insecure of any of my co wives. But I am insecure because of Arjun's closeness to my lord. As hard as I tried I am not able to replace him but I don't hate him. Their togetherness fascinates me.
. Alli confessed she is insecure of Panchali's beauty. I don't know if I am wrong,but her beauty scares me. It is too intriguing for me, if my husband can look beyond her charm. But at the same time I can swear on his love for me. The other wives of Arjun appreciated Alli's frankness. In their heart of hearts they also felt the same way regarding Panchali but their ego did not let them commit the facts.
