Story continues

Five thousand years ago on the first day of war,Arjun dropped his Gandiv. That lead to Bhagawan coming down in all his glory to the level of Nar who lost his sense of duty.

Arjjun closed his eyes and tried to feel what is going to happen the next day.He is reluctant to think what will happen if he and his grand father come face to face.He then got up and walked towards the tent of Drishtadyumna .
Arjun could not help but reminisce his child hood at Satasrunga mountain when his father was alive.Pandu used to teach him how to hold the bow when he was four years old
After that Kripacharya instructed him the basics of Archery but more theoretical than practical .Then came into his life Dronacharya who extracted the best from him
He learnt ,he practiced,he excelled,he achieved.He owes his identity of an archer par excellence to Dronacharya in particular.

Then he had the good fortune of learning from Siva himself
The Pasupat mantra only once he recited. but he is able to grasp that thanks to his memory power.
Then he learnt the fourth and fifth vidhis of Archery which no one knows apart from Siva himself.

In heaven, he was taught by his father Indra and other gods..He learnt every astra with utmost devotion and dedication.
But what is the end result? His whole knowledge is meant to be utilised against his grand father ,his Guru and his kith and kin.Will he be able to do it?

He got up to walk towards the main shibir where Drishtdyumn and his brothers might be waiting for him.

' Arjun,You are here?" Panchali's voice brought him back to present.Arjun looked into her lotus eyes which always uplifted his spirits and encouraged him in his every step.He smiled at her and said.' Krishnaa ,your Arjun will never fail in his purpose. Don't worry. I am fine."

Panchali bent her head down and said.' Did I ask you anything? Please don't think you are answerable to me. I feel guilty to see you in dilemma Arjun. I blame myself for instigating you all to fight for justice.
Arjun stopped her.' Don't ever say that. We all are equally responsible for war. More than all of us,Jyesht Pita Dhritarashtr is responsible. Don't blame yourself. .My dilemma has nothing to do with you at all.
My concerns are my weaknesses.I will try and overcome my soft corner for Pitamah."
Panchali looked into his eyes and assured.' You will..Govind is there with you.

As Arjun passed by the place where chariots and horses are getting arranged,Krishna is there conversing with Daruka.
Daruka knew how to set the chariot and horses .He is arranging his devine chariot under Krishna's instructions.".Why are you still here? Arjun asked Krishna ,with a bit of surprise in his eyes.His white horses are looking beautiful gearing up for the war ahead.
His Devadutta and Krishna's Panchajanya are hanging on the right side of the wall. The celestial ape banner is fixed straight on top of the chariot.
Arjun caressed the horses and bent down to say...let us begin our most crucial journey together.
Krishna added with a strange expression on his face."..Yes..the chariot Of Dharma is waiting since a long time.. Finally the preparation is done with. We two also waited for this moment since ages to be in the Chariot Of Dharma. ..to fulfill the urge of destiny.
Arjun gazed into his face that appeared Devine..You won't stop speaking in riddles. If it is the Chariot Of Dharma, Eldest has to ascend it not me..he tried to correct his Madhav.
Krishna laughed heartfully..."Parth..the day you solve the riddle you will attain the purpose of your life."..His words sounded different..thought Arjun.
