Not yesterday but now

Strings of heart

The five brothers, now standing in the northern part of the Forbidden Library, witnessed a remarkable transformation. The oppressive darkness that shrouded the forbidden area faded away, replaced by a resplendent golden mist. The atmosphere shifted dramatically, as if they had stepped into a celestial realm. The air was infused with an ethereal energy that heightened their senses.

Sahadev couldn't contain his excitement. "Now we can ask whatever we want!" he exclaimed.

Arjun, fueled by impatience and a burning desire for answers, roared, "What is our connection with Panchal Rajkumari?"

As the echoes of Arjun's question reverberated through the golden mist, a celestial voice filled the air. "Sons of Kunti, you stand in the northern sanctuary of the Forbidden Library, where the veils between mortal and divine are thin. Your connection with Panchal Rajkumari Draupadi predates this lifetime."

The celestial being materialized before them, radiating wisdom and divine energy. "In a time long past, you crossed paths with her in the celestial realms. Bonds were forged, destinies intertwined. You are not strangers; you are souls bound by an ancient cosmic dance."

Arjun, stunned by this revelation, pressed for more details. "What transpired in those celestial realms? Why are we connected to her in this mortal existence?"

The celestial being spoke with gravity, "Your destinies are entwined to bring balance to the cosmic order. The Forbidden Library holds the key to unlocking the memories of your celestial encounters. Journey through its sacred texts, and the mysteries of your connection shall be revealed."

With a nod from the celestial being, the golden mist enveloped the five brothers once again, guiding them deeper into the northern sanctum of the Forbidden Library. Determined and curious, they ventured forth, ready to unravel the ancient ties that bound them to Panchal Rajkumari Draupadi and discover the cosmic purpose that awaited them.

As the five brothers ventured deeper into the northern sanctum of the Forbidden Library, the golden mist guided them through corridors of ancient texts and celestial knowledge. Each step brought them closer to unraveling the mysteries of their connection with Panchal Rajkumari Draupadi.

As the five brothers advanced deeper into the northern sanctum of the Forbidden Library, the golden mist transformed into a pure white radiance, leading them to a central pool of celestial mist. Suspended above the mist, they beheld a breathtaking sight—a pentagon of precious stones, each glowing with ethereal light. The sapphire, representing the north, shimmered with wisdom and insight; the emerald, embodying the east, radiated strength and resilience; the diamond, positioned in the west, gleamed with cosmic insights and foresight; the ruby, symbolizing the south, pulsed with grace and diplomacy; and at the center, the pearl exuded unity and balance.

Connected by a shimmering golden thread, the stones formed a celestial pentagon, each gem aligned to a cardinal direction. The golden thread, delicately woven, held the essence of Panchal Rajkumari Draupadi, binding the destinies of the brothers in a cosmic dance.

Arjun, recognizing the significance of the gems, spoke with a sense of awe, "These stones are not just celestial symbols; they are reflections of our individual paths and destinies. The sapphire, the emerald, the diamond, the ruby, and the pearl—each tied to one of us by the golden thread."

The celestial voice resonated, affirming Arjun's realization. "Indeed, sons of Kunti. The sapphire belongs to Yudhishthira, a beacon of wisdom in the cosmic dance. The emerald is Bhima's, representing his strength and resilience. Arjun, the diamond is yours, embodying cosmic insights and foresight. Nakul, the ruby is yours, pulsating with grace and diplomacy. Sahadev, the pearl at the center symbolizes your role in maintaining unity and balance."
