She was about to fall but Kanha caught her just in time before she could hit the ground, she gave him a beautiful smile which was of genuine gratefulness as she gently said," aur Kitni bar bachaoge Arya."

("How many more times will you save me, Arya?")

"ARYA!" Everybody screamed at the title she used to address him with because it was a title generally used by wives for their husbands. She did not understand why they were all so shocked because in Royal society during the time the ladies would address their husbands as Aryaputra, not Arya. But also because she did not realise that it was it term that normal women used for their husbands.

" Abhi usmein thoda Samay Hai, Rajkumari," Krishna says and gives it a cheeky but flirtatious smile.

("There's still some time for that, Princess,")

" HUH! Ab kya bolna Chahte Hain Arya? main Kuchh samjhi Nahin."

("Huh! What do you mean, Arya? I don't understand,")

Krishna just starts to laugh at that so do Balram and Radha. Yashoda Maiya Giggles a bit but she asks the princess,
" Rajkumari, aap Krishna ko Arya Kyon kah rahi hai?

("Princess, why are you calling Krishna Arya?")

" Kyon Nahin kah sakti? Jab Main Sare mantriyon ko mahamantri, Rajguru
Jo Sab Meri dincharya Mein Meri sahayata Karte The UN Sabko main Arya Kahati thi toh inhone to Aaj Mere Do Bar Pran bacha hai To inhen Kyon Na bulaun?" She asks genuinely confused about the reaction she was getting.

("Why can't I call him that? When I call all the ministers, chief minister, and royal priest, who all assist me in my daily routine, Arya, then why shouldn't I call him that when he has saved my life twice today?")

" aapke yahan aap Sabko Arya Kahate Hain?" Ask a completely bewildered Kirtida (mother of Radha)

(Do you call everyone Arya in your kingdom?")

" Haan!" She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the whole world.

(Yes!")

" Agar aapke yahan Sabko Arya Kahate Hain, To fir aapki Mata aapke pitashri ko kaise pukarti hai?"

("If you call everyone Arya in your kingdom, then how does your mother address your father?")

"Swami, prannath ya phir aryaputra."
She says this with an expression that clearly says are you dumb?

("Swami, prannath, or aryaputra,")

"OH! Han mujhe abhi Yad Aaya Maine Suna Tha Ki Raj parivaron Mein striyan Apne patiyon Ko Arya kahkar Nahin aryaputra kah kar pukarti Hain," says Nand baba finally recollecting what he had heard a long time back.

("Oh! Yes, I remember now. I had heard that in royal families, women do not call their husbands Arya but aryaputra,")

" bilkul sahi Kaka, lekin aap sab Mere isko Arya bolane per itne achambhit Kyon Ho Gaye?" She asks with a very confused look on her face and tilts her head slightly to the side.

("Absolutely right, Uncle. But why were you all so surprised when I called him Arya?")

" Aisa isiliye Rajkumari ji Kyunki Ham Sadharan log Apne patiyon Ko Arya Kahate Hain," says Radha bursting into laughter at the sweet embarrassed face that the princess made after hearing this.

("It's because, Princess, we ordinary people call our husbands Arya,")

The princess's entire face turns bright red in the realisation of what she had done in her ignorance and she had mistakenly called this kind gentleman her husband, she immediately turned towards him and started apologizing,
" kshma kar dijiye Kumar Hamen pata nahin tha, Agar Hamen gyat Hota To Ham Aise Bhul Kabhi Na karte. Agar Aapko Hamari baten harkaton se bura laga ho to uske liye Ham aapse kshma Chahte Hain."

("Please forgive me, young man. I didn't know. If I had known, I would never have made such a mistake. If my words and actions have offended you, I apologize.")

" are Nahin Nahin Rajkumari Hamen Kyon Bura Lagne Laga, vaise agar aap Bura Na Mane to aapki is Galti ko Satya Mein parivartit karne Main Koi aapatti Nahin Hamen." He said with a giant smile which turned into a teasing smirk at the end.

("Oh no, Princess, why would I be offended? Actually, if you don't mind, I have no objection to turning your mistake into reality,")

" jivah Sambhal Ke Baat Kijiye Kumar Jante nahi kya ek Rajkumari se baat kar rahe ho. Jo Tum kah rahe ho na yah Tumne galti se vidarbh Mein kah diya Hota To Mere Pita Se To Main ulta latka ke Kode padhvate." She teases him back in all good humour

("Watch your words, Prince. Do you know you are talking to a princess? If you had said something like this in Vidarbha by mistake, I would have had you hung upside down and whipped,")

" isko kodon se bhai Nahin Lagta Rajkumari Makhan ke Dur Chale jaane se lagta hai!" Now Radha joins in the teasing.

("He's not afraid of whips, Princess. He's afraid of being far from butter!")

" to Fir theek hai Kumar, aapke aaj ke abhadra vyavhar ke liye agale 1 Hafte Tak aapka Makhan band." She declares the punishment with a proud smilee on her face.

("Then fine, Prince. For your rude behavior today, no butter for you for the next week,")

" O Lado Rani! Rajkumari Hogi Tum Apne Ghar Mein,
yah Mera Ghar Hai aur Yahan Jo main chahun wahi Hota Hai." He says in mock anger

("O Lado Rani! You may be a princess in your own home, but this is my home, and here what I want happens,")

" Bhagwan lakh Bimari De per galatfahmi Na De! Are is Ghar Main Tum Jo Chaho vah Nahin Hota Tumhari Mata Jo chahti hai vah Hota Hai aur yah Baat Main acche se Janti Hun Ki Tumhari Mata Bhi Meri is Baat Se sahmat Hai,
Hai Ki Nahin aap meri baat se sahmat Maiyaa." She Goes and hugs the Yashoda Maiya from behind and gently asks the last question in her ear.

("God may give you a thousand diseases but not a misconception! In this house, what you want doesn't happen. What your mother wants happens, and I know very well that your mother agrees with me on this. Isn't that right, Maiyaa?" )

" main tumse bilkul sahmat hun Putri aur Kanha Tumhara Agla Ek Hafte Tak ka Makhan band." Sir Yashoda Maiya in fake anger, glares at Krishna

("I absolutely agree with you, daughter. And Kanha, no butter for you for the next week,")

" he Mahadev! Kya Din a gaye hain apnon Ne Hi Mujhe paraayaa Kar Diya Mahadev Ab Main Kahan Jaunga,
Mera Kya Hoga." Krishna has in his usual over-melodromatic way moved his hands all over the place and fake crying.

("Oh Mahadev! What days have come, my own have turned against me. Mahadev, now where will I go, what will happen to me,)

" Mahadev ko Jyada tang mat karo Kahin vah Bhi Ruth Kar Chale Gaye to tumhara koi nahin bachega." Teases Hiranmayi further

("Don't bother Mahadev too much. If he also leaves in anger, no one will be left for you,")
