The Longing Heart: Arjun and Subhadra's Tale of Exile

Jayadrath's Plans Foiled

The deceitful Jayadrath, driven by his malicious intentions, plans a sinister plot to abduct Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas. Aware of Arjun's absence, Jayadrath sees an opportunity to execute his wicked scheme.

Unbeknownst to the noble warrior, his meals are being poisoned, weakening him and leaving him vulnerable to any threat that may arise.

Meanwhile, Krishna, the divine charioteer and guide to the Pandavas, senses the impending danger. With his omniscience, he realizes the treacherous intentions of Jayadrath. Determined to protect Draupadi and Arjun, he swiftly devises a plan to outsmart the wicked Jayadrath.

Krishna, disguised as a commoner, approaches Jayadrath, who is arrogantly confident in the success of his nefarious plan.

Krishna, with a calm yet compelling voice, addresses the misguided man, "Jayadrath, your evil intentions will not go unnoticed. The divine forces are always watching, and your actions will have dire consequences."

Jayadrath, taken aback by the sudden appearance and insight of this stranger, scoffed and replied, "Who are you to dictate my actions? I am Jayadrath, a powerful warrior, and I will not be swayed by your empty threats."

With a gentle smile, Krishna responded, "I am but a humble messenger, here to warn you of the repercussions of your deeds. The universe operates on the principles of karma, and every action has its consequences. It is not too late to abandon your wicked plans and seek redemption."

Unfazed by Krishna's words, Jayadrath sneered, "Redemption? I am beyond redemption. I will go ahead with my plan, and no one can stop me."

Krishna's eyes sparkled with wisdom as he calmly said, "You underestimate the power of righteousness and the strength of the Pandavas. I assure you, their protection is unwavering, and your efforts will be in vain."

Jayadrath, consumed by his ego, retorted, "I have strategies and allies that will ensure my success. No one can save them from me."

With a hint of amusement in his voice, Krishna replied, "You may possess strategies and allies, but the Pandavas have something far more powerful on their side – righteousness, unity, and Krishna's eyes narrowed, his voice turning stern.

"Jayadrath, you have crossed a line by resorting to such dishonorable tactics. Poisoning Arjuna's meals is an act of cowardice and treachery. But remember, the Pandavas are not alone in this battle. Dharma will guide their steps, and justice shall prevail."

Unbeknownst to Jayadrath, Krishna swiftly dispatched a message to Arjuna, warning him of the poisoned meals. Arjuna, ever vigilant, heeded Krishna's words and chose not to consume the food that had been prepared for him.

Meanwhile, the day of the great battle arrived, and Jayadrath, filled with arrogance, stepped onto the battlefield, believing his victory was assured. As the armies clashed, he eagerly searched for Arjuna, eager to deal the final blow.

But just as Jayadrath was about to unleash his attack, Arjuna rode forth, his divine chariot driven by Krishna himself. The sight of the majestic duo struck fear into the hearts of Jayadrath and his allies.

Arjuna's arrow flew through the air with precision, slicing through Jayadrath's weapon and knocking it to the ground. The impact of the arrow sent shockwaves through the battlefield, causing even the bravest warriors to falter in fear.

Seeing his weapon shattered, Jayadrath's confidence wavered. He realized that his treacherous plan had failed, and he was now left defenseless against Arjuna's might. Desperation filled his eyes as he desperately searched for an escape route.

But Krishna, always one step ahead, had orchestrated a flawless strategy. As Jayadrath attempted to flee, a group of Pandava warriors intercepted him, surrounding him from all sides. Jayadrath was trapped, his fate sealed by his own deceitful actions.

Arjuna dismounted from his chariot, his eyes burning with anger and determination. He approached Jayadrath, his voice filled with authority, "Jayadrath, your actions have brought dishonor upon yourself and your lineage. You shall face the consequences of your treachery."

Jayadrath's face paled, realizing the gravity of his situation. He fell to his knees, begging for mercy, "Please, spare my life! I admit my wrongdoing and I won't repeat it ".

Arjuna's bow, the mighty Gandiva, resonated with power as he drew an arrow and aimed it directly at Jayadrath.

"Stop Parth,leave him he is husband to our only sister Dushala" shouted Yudhishthir from distance.

"Yes Phalgun,the time isn't right for his death.. you will get Pashupadasth from Shiva then slay him" retorted Krishna.

Arjun stopped his quiver of arrows and Bheem made him bald leaving 5 strands of hair.

Arjun stopped killing Jayadrath,but for how long?.....
