Arjun's P.O.V.

 Kakshree walked to the centre of the court

"Maharaj," he called, everyone looked at him, he walked in between the Kaurav and us

"Oil," said Kakshree gesturing his right hand gesturing to the Kaurav

"and water," he said gesturing his left hand gesturing to us

"can never be mixed." he said interlocking his hands

"Similarly, your putro and bhrata Pandu's putro can never stay together, Maharaj." he said, the courtiers nodded

"When a bhavan is feared to collapse, intelligent people, construct supportive structures in its centre as a preventive measure. I fear, Maharaj that in order to protect the Kuru vansh, it is time now... to divide the rashtr!" he said, evryone looked at him stunned

Time skip

Vidur's P.O.V.

I saw Tatshree walking to me looking very angry

"How dare you, Vidur?!" asked Tatshree angrily, I lowered my head 

"Divide the Kuru rashtr?! How could you even suggest such a thing?! Did the mere thought of this not shatter your mind into pieces?!" asked Tatshree angrily glaring at me

"My heart has been shattered, Tatshree." I said, Tatshree continued glaring at me. I joined my hand and kneeled down

"Please forgive me, Tatshree... But in a situation like this... this is the only solution I could think of." I said

"Quit with your rambling, Vidur!" yelled Tatshree looking at one of our ancestors' statues

"This is not a solution, but a mockery! A mockery of our ancestors! Our ancestors have struggled a lot and have sacrificed many things to make our Kuru rashtr the most powerful one in the entire world! Just look at our ancestors. They have built this rashtr of ours. My revered father Shantanu. Made this rashtr powerful, he extended the boundaries of this rashtr and you wish to break it, Vidur?! My body shall be divided first. Only then will the rashtr get divided." said Tatshree and started walking, I stood up

"Tatshree, oil and water can never be mixed. Then neither of them is fit for any use." I said Tatshree didn't stop walking

"Tatshree, if we wish to make happiness return to Hastinapur then dividing the rashtr is the only solution." I said, Tatshree stopped and turned around I walked to him

"Just think about my suggestion, Tatshree. Jyeshtshree has dharm in his heart and I know that. But if amber is covered with ashes then it does not shine. At the moment, Jyeshtshree is surrounded by Duryodhan and Gandhar raj. Hence, he is unable to think righteously." I said

"I do not agree with you, Vidur. I have firm faith that Dhritarashtr will heed my advice. I shall remind him of his duties towards the kingdom." said Tatshree, I saw a das running to us

"Mahamahim! Mahamahim!" called the das, Tatshree turned around

"Yes. What is it?" asked Tatshree

"I bring exceedingly important news. Maharaj has given the ordered to imprison Pandav and mahrthi Karn." said the das, Tatshree and I widened our eyes in shock

Meanwhile
