Arjun's P.O.V.

Madhav pulled the reins of his rath Bhrata Bheem, Yuyutsu and I pulled reins of our horses and turned the horses

"What happened, Madhav?" I asked he looked at me

"Why did you stop?" I asked 

"Mamashree Shakuni. There isn't another man as intelligent as Mamashree Shakuni in the entire Aryaverth, Parth. But unfortunately, he uses his intelligence for his selfish purpose and not for kindness." said Madhav, Bhrata Bheem, Yuyutsu and I exchanged looks

"Tatpary? I didn't get you.?" I asked

"Circumstances have changed, Parth. Now, we will not be able to gain victory over Magadh." said Madhav

"Tatpary? Won't we kill Jarasandh, Govind?" asked Yuyutsu

"Now that depends on you dau Bheem, Yutsu." said Madhav, Bhrata Bheem, Yuyutsu and I exchanged confused looks

"I have heard that as a child that you had learnt to wrestle from Magadh's wrestlers. Do you remember any techniques?" asked Madhav, Bhrata Bheem nodded

"Avashya. A lot of them." he said, Madhav chuckled

"Then the death of Jarasandh is definite, dau Bheem. But now the Rajkumar of Indraprasth cannot go to Magadh. A Brahmin wrestler will now have to go to Magadh." said Madhav, I smirked understanding what Madhav meant, Madhav nodded

"Are you going to disguise me as Brihannala again, Madhav?" I asked, Bhrata Bheem and Madhav laughed shaking his head

"Who is this Brihannala?" asked Yuyutsu curiously

"Long story, Yutsu." I sighed

"No, Parth, Brihannala wasn't a Brahmin." said Madhav, I smiled shaking my head

A while later

Bhrata Bheem, Madhav, Yuyutsu and I wore Brahmin disguises 

"Hail Samrat Jarasandh!" chanted the citizens of Magadh we Jarasandh was going to sacrificed a raja

"Madhav." I called

"Hum?" asked Madhav without moving his eyes

"we've to stop the Rajao from being sacrificed." I said

"That's very simple, Parth." said Madhav he turned his eyes towards me

"Jarasandh cannot ignore a challenge to wrestle. That forms the core of his maxims." he said, Jarasandh was going to sacrifice a raja 

"Samrat Jarasandh!" called Madhav, Jarasandh stoppd by inches and glared at us

"An animal sacrificed during a yajna is first fed well. Only the sacrifice which is completely satiated adds to one's merit. Won't you allow your sacrifices to feel contentment before their death?" said Madhav

"Nothing can give contentment to a person who is about to die." said Jarasandh

"That's untrue, Samrat. For the worshippers of bravery to witness your art of wrestling is the biggest reason for contentment that's what I have heard at least. This Mitra of mine," Madhav paused gesturing to Bhrata Bheem

"Vrikodar challenges you for a wrestling match." said Madhav

"I don't have the time now. The promising moment for the sacrifice is at hand, Brahmins!" said Jarasandh Madhav laughed as Jarasandh raised his sword again he stopped and looked at Madhav angrily. Yuyutsu and I exchanged worried looks

"You denied the challenge of wrestling? Mitra, it's a very happy moment for us. We won! Now you can tell all the wrestlers of the Aryaverth that Samrat Jarasandh didn't accept your challenge. This is a very happy moment. Let's go." said Madhav, I smiled understanding what he was doing he was hurting Jarasandh ego, we turned around and started walking

"Stop!" called Jarasandh, we stopped I smirked Bhrata Bheem, Madhav, Yuyutsu and I turned around Jarasandh walked to us he stuck his sword into the ground and stomped the ground

"First try to displace my leg. Then you can dare to challenge me." he said, Madhav scoffed shaking his head he looked at Bhrata Bheem and pointed his eyes towards Jarasandh Bhrata Bheem nodded and stepped up to Jarasandh

"Which leg, Samrat?" asked Bhrata Bheem

"Don't be too proud. Any of them." said Jarasandh

"I have come to Magadha to displace both your legs." said Bhrata Bheem and laughed. He kneeled in front of Jarasandh grabbed his legs Madhav, Yuyutsu and I exchanged proud looks, and Bhrata Bheem tossed Jarasandh into the air. Madhav, Yuyutsu and I chuckled trying not to laugh

"Who are you all?" asked Jarasandh, Madhav stepped next to Bhrata Bheem

"After having consumed the food you don't question about the cook's caste, Samrat Jarasandh. You have accepted the challenge. Now you'll have to wrestle." said Madhav Jarasandh walked to him

"Vasudev Krishn?!" asked Jarasandh

"Pranipat." greeted Madhav joining his hands

"Pandu Putra Bheem," he said gesturing to Bhrata Bheem

"is very excited to have a wrestling match with you." said Madhav, Jarasandh looked at Bhrata Bheem, then at Yuyutsu and me he looked at Madhav and nodded expecting the challenge 

"You better not leave, gwale. My last sacrifice..." trailed Jarasandh he pointed at Madhav

"is you. 

"Have faith in me, Samrat. I have not come here to run away this time." said Madhav, Jarasandh looked at Bhrata Bheem who glared at Jarasandh

"Samrat, do you engage only in verbal grappling-combat or do you use your limbs as well?" said Bhrata Bheem
