Kunti's P.O.V.

We went back to the hut Karn and Yudhisthir came running they stopped in front of us 

"Mata, can I carry my anuj?" asked Karn, I gave Arjun to Karn they took him and went to play. When Aray and I entered we saw a baby in Madri's hands

"Madri, who's baby is this?" asked Aray

"I don't know Aray. When I saw feeding Bheem heard a knock on the door I thought it Karn and Yudhisthir but when opened the door I found Tara in a basket" said Madri

"Tara?" I asked

"Yes, Didi. I found this note." said Madri giving me a note

"Nothing other than her name was written on it." she said

"Did you tell-"

"No Aray, I didn't tell the children." said Madri interrupting Aray

"Very well, we will raise her as our own. The children and she herself shouldn't know that she is not our Putri." I said

"She is our Putri, Tara." said Aray I took Tara in my hand

"Madri Putri, Tara." I said

"Madri putri, Didi?" asked Madri I nodded

"Of course you too have the right to give birth to children." I said, Madri hugged me

"I'll go to a ved (doctor) and know her age." said Aray, he took Tara and went

"Karn! Sthir!" I called they came in running Arjun was in Karn's hands

"Maa, what is his name?" asked Yudhisthir

"Arjun." I replied

"Now, come and eat." I said

"We already ate, Mate." said Karn

"Mata Madri already gave us food." said Yudhisthir I looked at Madri she smiled 

"Okay, then how 'bout I'll put Arjun to sleep then we five play together?" I asked, Karn and Yudhisthir nodded I felt someone pulling my sari at the bottom I looked down and I saw Bheem he rubbed his stomach

"Mata, I think Bheem more than an elephant." said Karn we all laughed

"Jyesht...!" yelled Bheem

"Mate, we get fruits for Bheem. You put Arjun to sleep." said Yudhisthir, I nodded

"C'mon, Bheem." said Karn carrying Bheem and left sat on the mat and swung Arjun in my arms and started singing

Aanchal mein maa ke
Chhup ja tu aake
Anchal mein maa ke
Chhup ja tu aake
Ankhyo mein nindiya saja le
Soja re maa ke dulare

Neend ankhyo mein tere bhi aaye
Neend ankhyo mein tere bhi aaye
Aaja maata tujhe bhi sulaye
Neend ankhyo mein tere bhi aaye
Aaja maata tujhe bhi sulaye
Neend ankhyo mein tere bhi aaye
Aaja maata tujhe bhi sulaye....

Aray came in 

"Kunti! Madri!" he exclaimed

"Shh" snapped Madri and I puting our fingers on our lips

"Arjun just fell a, Aray." said Madri

"Kunti, Madri, our Tara is two minutes younger than Arjun." said Aray

"Wow, we have twins in the family. Sort of." I said 

One year later

Pandu's P.O.V.

I had Arjun on my lap Karn and Yudhisthir were sitting on the ground in front of me while Bheem was with 

"The five main parts of a temple are the gate monuments, the innermost sanctum, the pillars, the canopy and the spire." I said

"In the same way, a Rajya is also divided into five parts the council of ministers is the canopy of the state, the Prja are its monuments, the army its pillars, the seat of justice is the sanctum sanctorum, and the throne is its spire. The Lord's idol is placed in the sanctum sanctorum. And a nation's glory lies in its seat of justice. Will you remember this?" I said, Karn nodded

"Then you will definitely be the greatest raja. In order to become Maharaj Dhritarashtr's heir, you have to work very hard, Karn. Won't you work hard? I am content today, putra. Your ek sau panch anuj will spread your glory worldwide." I said 

"Aray," called Kunti I looked at her

"Now go and play." I said Karn took Arjun and they ran off

"It is time for the birth of Karn's anujo." said Kunti

"I had the same thought, Kunti. This time we have to get the divine sacrament of the Ashwini kumaro the ved of the Devtao. When Karn becomes the raja it's important that his brothers have the knowledge of health. Humans, cows, horses, elephants and other animals. The ability and knowledge to understand them can be given only by Ashwini Kumar. Invoke Ashwini Kumaro, Kunti." I said 

"Avashya, Aray. But this time I won't recite the mantra Madri will." said Kunti, Madri looked up stunned

"Madri too has the right to bear your children, Aray." said Kunti

"What are you saying?! How can I! The varadan is yours! It is the reward for your efforts." said Madri, I smiled

"Whether there's a crisis in the family or accomplishments everyone has the right on the proceeds. If we want to teach this truth to our children. Then first, we will have to learn to accept this truth. I will teach you the mantra with all my heart. And the mantra will definitely bear fruit, Madri." said Kunti

"But-"

"No more buts!" snapped Kunti interrupting Madri

Three days later

Kunti, Madri and I went to the cliffs we joined our hands Madri chanted the mantra two birds came flying and the birds transformed into Ashwini Kumaro we bowed our heads Ashwini Kumaro raised his hands blessing us

"Kunti, we are happy with the love you have for Madri. At your wish, we have come to bless Madri with putro. My putra will be known as Nakul being the most beautiful in his vansh. He will have the understand animals." said Nasatya Kumar

"My putra will be known as Sahadev. He will be the wisest among his bhaiyo. Both Nakul and Sahadev will have the knowledge of healing." Dasra Kumar they raised their hand Madri held out both her hands and Nakul and Sahadev appeared in her arms
