[Based on Devdas] Mehendi is not just a design put on the hands of brides, it is a name. It is her name. She lit an oil lamp years ago and never lets it go out, but it seems as if it doesn't want to go out, anyway. The reasons for doing so are unknown, though her mother thought it had something to do with Divya running off with a man who eventually sold her to a brothel. However, the town was recently raided because of the war that has been going on with a neighboring kingdom for years now. She now seeks shelter in the palace, planning to serve as a tawaif for those on royal grounds. Prithviraj is the soon-to-be rajah of the old kingdom of Gurjara Pratihara. However, before he becomes king, Prithviraj must marry. Of course, the idea of this appeals to him, but not every girl in the royal court wishes to marry him. Some do, such as those like Divya, but those like Mehendi do not. But that is not their decision to make.

She stood by the palace window, tall and still, gazing absently at the blurred distance. She had two choices: both unattractive, out of which, she would have to take a decision.

Ṛṡyaśṛṅga guesses that his visitor Alambusā is a woman, a human dimorphic to himself. However, Alambusā dislikes to have a womanly body, preferring to be a man. Alambusa Ārśyaśṛṅgi is the name of a Rākṣasa warrior in Mahābhārata: Alambusa, son of Ṛśyaśṛṅga. My story of the conversation between his parents Alambusā and Ṛśyaśṛṅga builds upon details found in Mahābhārata and Alambusā-jātaka. Unlike other versions of Ṛśyaśṛṅga's story (Mahābhārata and Naḷinikā-jātaka) in which he is the principal character and his misgendering of a sensual woman with masculine and ascetic attributes is humourous, Alambusā-jātaka focusses on Alambusā's spirituality, humility, and extraordinary beauty that Ṛśyaśṛṅga mostly recognizes as feminine. My story inverts Alambusā's motives along with gender identity. The title is Pāḷi and means "Mixed Alambusā Wants Ṛśyaśṛṅga To Mix." Similar words are repeated in the verses of Alambusā-jātaka, but I have changed their inflection from feminine to masculine. The second chapter tells the story of the duel between Bhīma's son Ghaṭotkaca and Duryodhana's son Lakṣmaṇa. Cover credit: oye_nakhrewaali of India Forums
