In the Mathura ,

Whole Mathura shivered under the storm  with thunder and lightning , giving warning before heavy downpour . Windstorm started vigorously ,  snatching lights in the night by quenching oil lamps from the houses . Windows and doors of the houses collided with each other , when they striked forcefully against wind.

A thin old lady was sitted in the corner of one small cottage which is situated at the farthest corner of Mathura border inside the small medicinal jungle. Frowns appeared on her face , when she detected some auspicious intuitions  making their way to her mind.

Making her way towards her special room she gave signal to one young girl to follow her , who was probably her only student and was adamant to work under old lady .

After cleaning her future board she sat on mat and asked that young lady to stand near window . After observing and matching each star , planet and constellation in the galaxy , through her future board she smiled to herself. Her smile was precious because she had smiled after decades , and it caught attention of young lady named Shakuntala .

" Guru Falguni , Is there anything special today in astromancy?" curious Shakuntla asked.

"Not only special but auspicious and immortal " Falguni Smiled mysteriously causing Shakuntala to frowned.


Here in the  'Nandanvan Palace' ,   Queen Mayavati's screamed roared when she felt tremendous pain in her uterus as she was at the last stage of pregnancy . Her screams were  alarm for all Daasi's in the palace to start their chaos.

"Daasi go fast and informed the King Nand , that his second heir is about to enter in his palace . Asked him to send  female Vaidya immediately here in Mayavati's chamber " Mayawati's childhood acquaintance and  Queen of Hastinapur Satyavati , ordered in hurry with never ending smile on her face. Daasi immediately followed her order.

Till now Mathura was totally drenched due to heavy downpour . The birth place of Lord Krishna looked devastated due continuous raining. Which was looking like a new bride till this evening , totally decorated with oil lamps and laterns all over the kingdom , was  smelling aromatic . Atmosphere was filled with positive and auspicious vibes of 'Krishna Janmashtami'  just two days before the actual festival , this is the most blissful and vast festival of Mathura .


In the Royal court of Nandanvan two best friends were playing chess with each other , discussing over the issues of their respective kingdoms and were remembering the childhood days spent with each other in 'Gurukul Aashram ' while training under the Rushi Shukracharya .

As usual with the excellent brilliance in his genes King Shantanu won the match . King Nand snorted again over his usual lose and King Shantanu chuckled . Soon both of them started laughing but their laugh stopped in the middle when they saw one Daasi came running to them .

"What happened ? Is there any problem ?" King Nand asked looking suspiciously at her huffing and worried figure.

"Yes Your Highness , Queen Mayavati's confinement is approaching , we are in urgent need of Female Vaidya (Physician) " Daasi conveyed the message to king and after getting King's approval she left .

Instantly  chief commander  Setupati with few servants of palace reached there in Royal Court , following king's order .

"Yes , Your highness" they bowed down in front of king.

" Setupati Move fast and look for Female Vaidya ......Tell her , Queen is in urgent need of her ..... Go get her here in palace fast " impatient king ordered to his trustworthy man .
