After coronation, Bhagwan Parshuram left Hastinapur. Karna was invited in evening for the celebratory feast being held to welcome the Rajkumars. Karna agreed. Karna will be able to rule anga after two months as other preparation and formalities to make Anga independent will take this much time. Bheeshma suggested karna that during this time spend time in Rajyasabha to closely obseve how it works. Karna agreed to it. After 3 hours of work done in Rajyasabha Karna left the palace to meet his parents.

After arriving outside of palace Karna took a horse and rode towards his house. After arriving he saw how suta people was looking at him with pride. He arrived at his doors and saw Radha maa was there with aarti thali to welcome him with Adhiratha standing beside her. Radha did the aarti, karna touched their feet. They blessed him and took him into the house. Radha was very happy, when she saw her son in royal clothes, ornaments and crown she realised it was like it was meant to be. Her was born to be king. She hugged him and cried thinking how difficult was for his son to reach where he is today. People saw his valour, praised him but only her family knew how much her son had to go through to reach where he is today. How many times her son cried at insults and mockery at him being low caste. Adhiratha was thinking the same thing. He was proud of his son.

Radha : “Son, you wait I will bring some refreshments.” saying this she went to kitchen to let his husband and son to talk. The both smiled at her antics.

Adhiratha : Son I am proud of you, you have become fine young man.

Karna : thanks Dad.

Adhiratha : Son your responsibility will be getting bigger, you now have chance to bring the change you always wanted. Try to rule the people as example son not tyranny. Son, I know you want change but be patient nothing good can be done immediately.

Karan : I know dad. I know but I am nervous. I don't know how will I cope with this responsibility. It will increase the anxiety and instability within me.

Adhiratha : Son you are one of most mentally strong people I know of. If all your childhood didn't break you this responsibility will not be able to do that. Do charity for your own peace son. Charity is the only way you will feel peace in you. Remember Son, spend your own fortune not of your subjects. Charity is such that you don't do any favour on other but other do a favor to you by accepting your alms. Their blessings and happiness will be reason for you peace.

Karna : Yes father.

Adhiratha didn't knew his casual advice will let karna gain the tittle of Daanveer in whole Aryavart. Soon radha joined and the family happily chatted.

Evening came and karna did his Surya pooja at dusk. He came home ad got ready for the celebratory feast at palace. He rode his horse to the palace. There he was welcomed by palace guards. He went inside the palace and went to meet Bheeshma. Karna and Bheeshma met, they chatted about half hour. Then Bheeshma said karna to meet other family members. He summoned a soldier to guide Karna to gathering place.

Karna went there but only servants were there. He took a seat in one corner. Soon two beautiful ladies came to the roon. They saw karna and went to greet him. Karna saw the coming and stood up to greet them they were princess he knows one of them youngest sister of kuru princes but other was mystery to him.

Ladies : Pranipat Angraj.

(Hello king of anga)

Karna : Pranipat rajukumariyon.

(Hello Princess)

Dushala : How do you know we are princess.

Karna (smiled at her innocence) : I am the son of Mahamahim charioteer, I probably know all the royal family. Youe clothes and jewellery was also dead giveaway.

Dhushala pouted. : Yes Angraj, I am Dhushala the only kuru kumari and this is my friend from kanyakul, sister of haldhar balram and dwakadheesh Sri Krishna ki behen rajkumari Subhara.

Karna was shocked to see someone from dwarka here that too sister of Sri krishna and Balram. He schooled his facial expressions and smiled. They talk for few minutes then Dushala was called by Yudhishthir who has reached with rest of Pandavas. Dushala went and hugged Yudhishthir and introduced Subhadra to them. Arjun was busy looking at her and blushing. Yudhishthir turned and saw karna there, he came to karna and started talking with him. Both were polite to each other. Bu you can tell they were neither close or distant. Both their talk ended when a melodious veena sound stated echoing. The went there and saw Princess Subhadra was playing veena.

Nakul said Arjun was also good at playing so Dushala aske both Arjun and Subhadra to play song. Both did so, Karna was listening the music and enjoying it both Arjun and Subhadra was good and music was very enjoyable. When music ended a loud clap from Duryodhana sounded. He with Ashwatthama and his brothers started mocking Arjun, he also asked Karna's opinion.

Karna : I don't agree with you rajkumar Duryodhana. Learning Music requires strict discipline and dedication which isn't less than learning weapons. Music especially helpful to archers it makes us learn focus and helps to lean distinguishing between different sounds. Learning Music taught us be patient. By insulting music due to some reason you have indirectly insulted Mata Saraswati and Mahadev. They too are masters of veena playing. Nother kala is any less than than learning a weapon, it requires a great disciple and devotion to learn both if Rajkumar Arjun is good at both it is matter be proud not be shameful.

Duryodhana and other were shocked hearing his words. They thoughts like most warriors Karna will look down upon art. Duryodhana and Arjun was shocked for different reasons. Duryodhana ti now never meet any one what's so respectfully disagreed with him, they either thought his as evil or arrogant prick so they didn't try to make him understand what are his mistakes and why it was mistake. They tell him it was and leave it there. He was role model for his brothers and even Ashwatthama rarely disagree with him. He was tired of being surrounded by yes men. He saw Karna was not like that he made him why he was wrong, Duryodhana sais sorry for insulting music there shocking everyone who knew him. Arjun on the other hand were stumped by karna explanation of boons of learning Music in case of improving his archery. He has learnt as likes to play veena. He never thought that his hobby can be of such huge help in archery. He was almost sure that Karna knew of playing veena as he looked like he was talking from experience. Karna called in good in both means Karna was better than him playing veena too. He was again shocked hearing Duryodhana apologies he knew him enough to determine that it was genuine. He accepted his apology though it for insulting music but you can't get any closer than that in matter to make him apology.

Arjun : Angraj aap bhi veena mein ruchi rakhte hai ek pradarshan iska bhi dijiye yadi aap ko koi aapatti na ho toh.

( Angraj it seems you are also play Veena . If you don't mind can you play a song for us.)

Dhushala (on instinct excitedly) : Haan bharata Angraj, bajaiye na.

( Yes brother Angraj pleas play)

Karna and everyone wer shocked hearing that.

Dhushala : Kshama chahiti hoon yadi aapko thes pahuch ho toh.

( Sorry if I hurt you)

Karna : Nahi koi thes nahi panhuchi, parantu achambhit hoon mai Rajkumari ke aapne mujhe ek suta ko Bharata kaha.

( No I was just surprised. You want to be my sister)

Dhushala : Mujhe usse fark nahi padta yadi aapko koi aapat na ho mai aapko bharta hi kahoongi. Aap bhi muje rajkumari nahi balki Dhushala kah kar bulaiye. Yadi gwalo ke beech pale balram aur Subhadra bhai behen ho sakte hai to mai aur kyu nahi.

( I don't care about that if Balram who is gwala and Subhadra is brother and sister then why not us? If you don't mind i will call you brother you can call me Dhushala)

Karna : Mujhe koi aapati nahi. Tum mujhe Bharata karna keh sakti ho.

(I don't mind call me brother Karna)

Karna then put his hand in his pouch and took out two bangles and a hairpin. It was simple yet elegant and luxurious fell to it, he handed them to Dhushala. He got these from Mata Parvati. One day, she was very impressed by his devotion and gifted him her jewelery, these bangles and hairpin was part of that.

Karna (smiled) : Take these as gift of first meeting from your this brother, it will keep you safe. It will create a protective aura around you which will regulate you body temperature, you will not fee cold in even freezing mountain and will not feel hot in desert. You will be not affected by illusions. The aura is also very strong it will protect from physical harm too. It will protect you from any astra sastra only brahamsirastra, vaisnavastra and pashupatastra will be able to harm you. Your this brother is also giving you vow to protect you as long as I is alive no harm will befall on you. Sada sukhi rao.( Live happily)

Dushala was wide eyed. She didn't knew her casually calling Karna brother will land her such gifts. She tried to deny but Karna insisted if she considers him as brother she will accept. She agreed and was happy to accept such gift. Not only her but everyone present there has their jaw drop on the floor they didn't know Karna has such jewelery on top of his armour and he even gifted them to Dhushala. Now Dushala was most strongest among them or may be even in all aryavart. She didn't just have jewellery but Karna's protection. Next time they have to talk respectfully to her. They first were watching brother and sister bond with interest. Some were even disdainful and was against it in their mind but as soon karna presented her bangles and hairpin they went immediately from disdainful to jealous. They thought why weren't they as intelligent as Dhushala now if they tried to form bond it will not be considered good. But all brothers of Dhushala both Kauravas and Pandavas were happy for her. She was standing there with haughty smile and looked at them with proud smile. Dhushala was only thread tying both sides. They will do anything for happiness as she was youngest and only sister of them.

Dhushala (cheeky smiles) : Woh sab toh thik hai bharata Karna Parantu aapne abhi tak veena vadan ke liye maane nahi.

( All this is fine but you still didn't agree to play.)

Karna : Yadi tum sunna chahiti ho toh, kyu nahi?

( If you want listen then why not?)

Karna went to stage both Arjun and Subhadra went below the stage. Karna did namaskar to veena and sat behind it and plucked few Strings to check it. Finding one loose string he tightened it surprising Arjun and Subhadra as they didn't find that flaw. Both were sure that Karna was better than them as a great player knows his instrument. Then he closed his eyes and started playing the tune that he heard frm Lord shiva and started singing.

Everyone was mesmerized hearing the raag and veena playing. The closed his eyes. The atmosphere turned devotional. Even after music ended none were opening their eyes. Karna was was also in trance thinking about his time on Kailash Parvat. Their trance ended hearing a thundering clap, they all turned towards the door ans saw Bheeshma, Drona, Dhritarashtra, Gandhari, kunti, Shakuni and Vidhur were there with maids and servants. They have arrived since Duryodhana was insulting Arjun and asked Karna's opinion. They hid themselves to hear Karna's view. They were both impressed and astounded at hearing his opinions and followed Duryodhana's apology. Then when Dhushala tried made karna his brother all were happy except Dronacharya who just snorted. They were very shocked when Karna presented Dhushala with such extraordinary jwellery and vow to protect her. Bheeshma, Vidhur and Dhritarashtra were happy because Dhushala was able to make Karna's bonds with Hastinapur even stronger. Gandhari was happy that his daughter got another strong brother to protect her, kunti was happy for both karna and Dhushala. Shakuni was plotting to make Karna his weapon was surprised when Duryodhana apologized. They wanted to hear karna play so the again hid themselves again. When they heard his playing it was like they were enchanted as if Mahadev was himself playing that music. Gandhari the great Shiv bhakt recognised the raaga but she couldn't find flaw in it. After the music ended she started clapping and moving into the room soon other followed. Even Guru Dronacharya he too was impressed. Then they saw their children looked towards them.

All the children went to elders and touched their feet. The elders blessed them. Karna to went down the stage to greet them. He came there and greeted everyone.

Karna : Pranipat Mahamahim, Maharaj, Maharani, Choti Maharani, mahamantri, Ghandhar raj and Acharya Drona.

Bheeshma : Kalyan ho Putra. Adbhoot vadan aur sangeet hai tumhara.

( You are great in singing and playing instrument)

Dhritarashtra : Kalyan Ho Putra. Tatshree Satya keh rahe hai.

( Yes Uncle is right)

Kunti : Aayushman Bhava Putra.

( Wish you long life)

Shakuni : Kalyan ho.

(Be prosper)

Gandhari : Kirtiman bhava Putra, tum avashya hi Mahadev ke bhakt ho. Itna surila raaga maine nahi suna kahaan se sikha tume yeh sab.

( Be Famous. You are surely Mahadev's devotee. From where have you learnt all this.)

Dronacharya as usual ignore his greetings.

Karna : Maharani, I am devotee of both Mahadev and Mata Parvati. It is all blessings from my Gurus, they taught me everything.

Dronacharya was intrigued but kept quiet.

Gandhai (emotional) : Call me mother son, my daughter has accepted you as her brother.

Karna : Ji, Mata.

Ghandhari : Son for your mother will you please sing Shiva Tandava stotram.

Karna : Avashya Mata.

Karna went

Karna finished the song and again everyone was clapping. Ghandhari blessed Karna with all heart and they all went to have dinner soon the day was over. Karna returned his home after the celebration.
