Arjun's P.O.V.

We have left the village of the rakshaso, Jyesht, bhrata Yudhisthir, Nakul and Sahadev were carrying mata on a palanquin bhrata Bheem and I were walking on the side

"Putro , you should rest for a while now. You must be tired from lifting my weight all this while." said Mata

"One who considers his Mata to be a weight indeed gets tired." said Jyesht

"You need not worry, Mata." said bhrata Bheem

"When they get tired, I will lift you. I had told them earlier that I am capable of lifting the palanquin by myself but they just don't to listen to me." said bhrata Bheem

"We too must get the opportunity to serve Mata, bhrata Bheem." said Sahadev

"But why do you not help us lift the palanquin?" asked Sahadev

"Have you seen how tall I am? If I hold the palanquin from one side then maa will have to sit in a crooked manner." said bhrata Bheem, we all laughed

"Besides, this is probably the way to Naimisharany." said Nakul

"We shall come across a village or hermitage on this path soon. Someone will guide us then." said Jyesht we all stopped as we heard people crying bhrata Bheem and I leaned forward to see behind the bushes

"We can see people over there. Wait here. Let us go check." I said Mata, Jyesht, bhrata Yudhisthir, Nakul and Sahadev, nodded bhrata Bheem and I went through the bushes we could see a rishi he was curing a man lying on a mat, that man opened his eyes and sat up bhrata Bheem and I exchanged looks

"All hail Bhagavan Vedvyas!" yelled villagers multiple times Bhagavan Vedvyas. I thought

"Go on. One serpent had bitten him. Do not take your anger out on all the serpents." said Bhagavan Vedvyas the villagers nodded

"Now, I am expecting some guests whom I had been awaiting for a while. Go on." said Bhagavan Vedvyas the villagers left

"Come here. I have been awaiting you in this forest for three days now." said Bhagavan Vedvyas, he stood up and turned to bhrata Bheem and me we walked to him

"What is your name?" he asked

"How can you expect the people whose names you do not know?" asked bhrata Bheem

"Bhrata Bheem" I snapped in whisper, as pocked bhrata Bheem's stomach with my elbow Bhagavan Vedvyas chuckled

"Names are not the only mode to get to know people, Bheem." said Bhagavan Vedvyas

"How did you know that my name is Bheem?" asked bhrata Bheem

"Bhrata Bheem" I snapped, poking him again

"I had heard that only you can ask such questions." said Bhagavan Vedvyas, I chuckled trying to control my laughter

"Where is your Mata Kunti and the four bhaiyo of yours? Call them here as well. My shishy have arranged for you to rest and dine here. Stay here for the night and leave at dawn." said Bhagavan Vedvyas

"Yes, Bhagavan Vyas" I said joining my hands, I went to go call Mata, Jyesht, bhrata Yudhisthir, Nakul and Sahadev

"Jun, is there any problem. Where is Bheem?!" said Jyesht

"There is no problem, Jyesht. Bhrata Bheem is with some who has been waiting for us in this forest for three days." I said, Mata, Jyesht, bhrata Yudhisthir, Nakul and Sahadev exchanged looks confused

"Tatpary?" they asked unison

"You'll see, come, he is calling us." I said Jyesht, bhrata Yudhisthir, Nakul and Sahadev put the palanquin down and we all wet to Bhagavan Vedvyas
