Two weeks later
Arjun's P.O.V.
Jyesht, Bhrata Yudhisthir, Bhrata Bheem, Nakul, Sahadev, Yuyutsu and I were in the meeting chamber (A/N: I just made that up.) I walked to the curtains and opened them the lights reflected on the mirrors revealing a light model of the Indraprasth rajbhavan
I spun it around
"The gates will seem like a wall." I said pointing at the geats
"and the wall will seem like the gates to them." I said, Nakul, Sahadev and Yuyutsu smiled proudly
"Areas containing water will seem like solid ground and the solid ground will seem like areas containing water. Such extraordinary illusions will be created by Mayasur for our city." I said
"All the Raja arriving for the Rajsuyyajna will burn with jealousy upon seeing our prosperity." said Nakul amazed
"What is the need for such grand construction, Jun? " asked Jyesht, we looked at him
"Keshav can never suggest constructing something that can give rise to jealousy within people." he said, we heard horses neigh I smiled walking to the window I saw the rajbhavan geats open and saw Madhav driving his rath, I smiled
"Madhav is coming, Jyesht Bhrata. He will explain you what his suggestion meant." I said Yuyutsu walked to the window
"How does this Vasudev come to know that we require his suggestion?" he asked
"It is said that at the time of his birth, Madhav had broken his prison cell. That is why, be it a prison of bricks or that of a heart Madhav always comes to know who the prisoner is." I said, they all nodded, we heard a knock on the door Yuyutsu was shocked he looked at the window
"But he was just there. How did he...?" said Yuyutsu shocked,
"Come in!" called Jyesht, Madhav opened the chamber doors he walked to us
"Competence is something that creates something new while force is something that breaks someone's creation. Both are required but the importance of competence is way higher. Now that you are going to perform the Rajsuyyajna it is necessary for all the raja of the Aryaverth to acknowledge your competence. That is why I had suggested you create such a grand structure." said Madhav, Jyesht sighed
"But Keshav the people who see such a grand structure will certainly be filled with jealousy." he said, Madhav chuckled
"Upon seeing any great structure the subjects of that Rashtra are filled with pride." said Madhav, I smiled and nodded
"When prosperity is apparent to make the Rashtra more prosperous, the subjects are always prepared. The competence of a Raja lies neither in his army nor in the strength of his allies and his sense of control. The competence of a Raja lies in the sense of pride his subjects have for the Rashtra in the faith of his friends, Bhaiyo and in the jealousy of his enemies. The killing of Jarasandh will be a presentation of your strength and the construction of a Grand sabha will be a symbol of your competence. When you shall accomplish both these tasks all the rajao of the Aryaverth will deem you the Chakravarti Samrat." said Madhav
"But without the order from Hastinapur, we cannot attack Magadh. We've heard that the Gandhar raj Shakuni and Duryodhan have gone to Magadh with the proposal to an alliance." said Bhrata Yudhisthir I looked at him
"But they can form an alliance only when Tatshree will go to Magadha himself approach Jarasandha and accept a lower position in his court." I said
"But Jyesht in exchange for accepting that lower position when the Kuru flag will be hoisted on Magadha Tatshree will certainly be pleased." said Sahadev
"If you allow us then before we become independent we shall add Magadh to Hastinapur. Just give us the order to attack, Jyesht. I am getting restless to put an end to Jarasandh." said Bhrata Bheem
"Dan veer, your army shall indeed be victorious." said Madhav looking at Bhrata Bheem
"Putting Jarasandha to an end will be the start of your Rajsuyyajna." said Madhav, Jyesht nodded
"Oh yes! Parth." called Madhav, I looked at him
"How is Subhadra?" he asked
"I'm fine, Bhratashree." we heard Subhadra we turned around and saw Panchali, Subhadra and Bhabhishree Vrushali they entered Subhadra and Bhabhishree Vrushali touched Madhav's feet
"Kalyan ho." he blessed Subhadra and Bhabhishree Vrushali smiled
"Subhadre, just like their Pitha, your children will also be a great warrior." said Madhav, Subhadra looked confused
"Children, Bhratashree?!" she asked, Madhav nodded
"Yes, Subhadre your Putri will too be a great warrior." said Madhav, we all were shocked
"Their names will Abhimanyu and Ayudhina." he said, we smiled, he looked at me
"Parth, get the army ready." he said, I nodded
"Army?! Why?! Has there been attack?!" asked Panchali, Madhav chuckled
"No, no, Saki. we have to go to Magadh." he said, Panchali sighed
