Rajarshi Vrishaketu: From A Beer Yodhha To A Sage King (Karna Series 7)
This is the last story of my Karna series where I want to write the story of his most unknown Son, Vrishaketu.
He is the son of a greatest Archer and warrior of India, Karna. He is rumoured to be the son of his second neglected wife Supriya, worshiper of Karna. By birth he was Surpriyo, but unfortunately the Boy knew himself was Padmanav or Son of his first wife Padmavati.
He himself was a greatest archer with apt Knowledge of Divine weapons or Divya Astra and powerful fighters. He was the last person upon this earth with such knowledge of Divine weapons yet he was not permitted by Lord Krishna to use any of them in the Ran Bhoomi or battlefield. Did he follow his orders whole life?
Even being the greatest warrior of his time, he was defeated by the Iron Man of India or Aryavart, the long forgotten son of his uncle Arjuna and aunt Chitrangada, Babrubahan. Was he a cowardly man as told by maharishi Ved Vyas or something else? Why did he choose the way of peace and in later life, he became the messenger of the peace in the Aryavart after his mother Padma and his sister-in-law Vatsyala? Why was his relation with his son Soumyajit very complex and complicated who took the peace loving nature of his father as a sign of his Kawarta or cowardice? Why did Vrishaketu prefer his twin nephews, the sons of Padmaja and Pradumna, Shaturghna and Tamoghna, over his son and why so? Why did Parikshit hate him and later repented hard? Why did his other nephew Soumayajit worship him like a God?
This is the story of heartbreak, lust, love, pain and lifelong agony, endless trial to prove himself worthy, fight against the social hierarchy and stigma, discovering of true identity and love. It may contain some mature contents.
The story is completely mine based on the story of Uttar Mahabharat time and a purely fan fiction. No resemblance with any living or dead. The characters are taken from Ved Vyas Mahabharata.
