The Pandavas reached Varnavart, and had offered the puja kept in honour of Maharaj Pandu.
Then they went to the palace, which was illuminated with just moon light, no lamps were lit. But they didn't mind as they were lost seeing the architectural beauty of the palace, which was truly one of its own.
"Purochan, does this palace only lights up with the moonlight ?" Yudhishthir asked.
"Yes Yuvraj. The mirrors here are placed in such manners that they reflect moonlight everywhere. There is no need to light lamps." Purochan said.
"Tamasvini would have loved this place." Arjun said.
"Indeed this place is an architectural marvel. Jyesht you should reward Purochan." Bheem said.
"You all came here at my palace, this is my biggest reward." Purochan said.
On the other side a spy of Vidur gave him the most shocking news.
"Mahamantri, the palace of Varnavart is made of lacquer." The spy said.
"Lacquer ? And Purochan is also a pupil of Shakuni....OH NO !" Vidur exclaimed.
"Is everything alright Mahamantri ?" The spy asked.
"Shakuni plans to burn the Pandavas and Bhabhi Kunti in that palace. I must talk to Grandsire right now." Vidur said running outside the room.
He went straight to the training grounds where Bhism was trainning new soldiers.
"Soldiers, when the enemy surrounds you from three directions and leaves no way to escape then retreat backwards feigning defeat. This makes enemy carefree and he lets his guard down. Then seize your opportunity and attack !" Bhism said swinging his sword.
Vidur fell into deep thinking after listening to this advice.
"In battlefields, strength isn't important. Timing is." Bhism said.
A smile appeared on Vidur's face as he got an idea. That's when Bhism saw Vidur and approached him.
"Pranipat Tatshree." Vidur greeted.
"Ayushman bhava. Vidur, what is the reason behind your smile ?" Bhism asked.
"It is said that a Gandharv sings his entire life yet never plays the same tune twice, he always sings something new. Even you teach me something new everyday Tatshree." Vidur said.
"But I had taught you this strategy in childhood, Vidur." Bhism said.
"Yes you had Tatshree, but then I wasn't able to understand that timing is more important than strength in a battle. Waiting for the right moment is not defeat but strategic instead." Vidur said.
"Did you come here for anything necessary ?" Bhism asked.
"Yes Tatshree. And that purpose has been fulfilled. Now I shall take your leave." Vidur said and left.
Bhism looked at him confused and then shook his head, even he couldn't understand the wisdom of Vidur sometimes.
