Your highness how can we attack on such a powerful boy?’ asked Padma.
‘I’ve told he has a lot of power but I’ve never told you that he can use them.’ Said the king.
‘So we can assassinate that boy?’ asked Padma.
‘Yes, you fool! That is exactly what I was trying to say now take your men and go kill that boy, we can’t afford to have such powerful humans!’ hissed the king ‘I’m the king of Jhambhuvans and I will be the almighty!’
Vignesh woke up breathing heavily. It’s the same kind of dream.
But he noticed something. He was not in his home. He was in a hospital.
‘What am I doing here?’ he whispered to himself.
‘Aah! You are awake sir.’ Sighed the doctor as he came inside the room ‘who got me here?’ asked Vignesh.
‘Your brother, Sire’ said the doctor. ‘By the way my name is doctor Paramvedit.’
‘Wow so you have doctor in your name since you were born’ smiled Vignesh and then suddenly changed the topic.
‘Wait! so my brother got me here?!’ asked a quizzical Vignesh.
‘Why are you so confused, I heard that your brother loves you more than anything else. And yes, your brother wants to meet you’ said Paramvedit.
‘Oh, so let him in’ said Vignesh. And Paramvedit opened the door revealing a teary Karthik.
Karthik ran to his brother panicking and fell onto Vignesh’s feet.
‘I’m sorry for breaking the law! Bhaiyya’ sobbed Karthik.
Vignesh tried to get up and see his brother. He patted his brother’s back confused.
If he wanted to break the laws, what is he feeling guilty about?
Then Vignesh gave a glance at Paramvedit and saw his smiling face. Paramvedit smiled as if he read Vignesh’s thoughts.
‘Hey Karthik it’s okay my brother, I forgave you as soon as I saw your face in the moonlight. Your face was so handsome when I saw it in the moonlight so I was flattered by your face and thought that you will never break the law again. I know you well Karthik. That made me instantly forgive you’ said a calm and a secretly puzzled Vignesh.
‘When you were unconscious and sleeping on the ICU bed then doctor Paramvedit said that you have developed a viral fever.’ Said a weeping Karthik.
‘Your brother immediately burst in to tears after hearing the news.’ Said Paramvedit.
‘Hey Karthik you are a strong man. You need not cry for these small things.’ Said Vignesh.
‘And this is called a recovery migraine. When young people do meditation for long periods of time in their initial stages of meditation so there is nothing to panic since it is very common’ smiled Paramvedit with a broader smile. ‘And the medicine is this’ Paramvedit shoved a bag full of leaves.
‘What is this?’ asked Vignesh.
‘It’s called as the Dhruva grass.’ Said Paramvedit ‘This grass doesn’t grow here though’
‘Oh, so where does it grow?’ asked Karthik.It grows in the land of the saptarishi or the seven godly sages.’ Answered Paramvedit.
‘So how did you get it Paramvedit?’ asked Vignesh.
‘I’m a descendant of the saptarishi so I have reserve of the Dhruva grass-. Um any issues?’ Paramvedit stopped as Vignesh and Karthik were staring at the doctor as if he were a god!
‘You are a descendant of the Saptarishi!!’ bellowed Karthik.
‘Seemingly, yes.’ Said Paramvedit.
-X-
‘OK everybody, stay in position we will be setting off to Himaroop tomorrow!’ yelled Kubera.
‘Your Highness, Um, it’s a reply from your daughter’ said the messenger with a scroll in his hand.
‘Oh, then read it out Himanshu’ ordered the emperor.
‘”Dear Father,
Its me your daughter, Siddhi your second daughter Buddhi is also with me I took her to Manali without your notice but anyways, we’ve read the letter about the war on Himaroop and I feel its futile attacking your own territory and the higher monarchy will consider this as an act of negligence and imperviousness. So I suggest you don’t attack on that city and anyways their leader has come back from his meditation and would have a higher jolt of energy so I say its better if you don’t attack that city and anyways the forest road to that city is like a detour to your death so don’t go to that city in that route” The letter ends from here your Highness’. Said Himanshu.
Kubera was furious.
‘I’m attacking on that city!’ yelled Kubera.
-X-
Vignesh was discharged the next day and the brothers headed to the Sutlej. But Karthik deflected and started walking home.
‘Bhaiyya, I have some work you can go and take bath alone I will meet you at home.’ Said Karthik.
Vignesh nodded and headed alone towards the Sutlej. Vignesh went into deep thoughts as he sprinkled water onto his head.
‘Om Varun Devai Namah’ Vignesh said as he brushed his face with water. After his bath, Vignesh packed his clothes and was heading home.
‘Vignesh’ said a familiar voice.
Vignesh turned around to see sage Vyasa.
‘Oh, great sage! You here I thought headed to the east to make your fortune!’ said Vignesh.
‘We sages don’t go in search of fortune. But I knew that you would come to me.’ Said Vyasa.
‘Oh, great one! You’ve never said your name’ whispered Vignesh.
‘You can call me Vyasa.’ Said the sage.
‘So great sage how did you know that we would meet again?’ asked Vignesh.
‘Some secrets are better when hidden’ smiled Vyasa.
‘I don’t get it’ said Vignesh.
‘That’s for later young man. But now we have something else to look into’ said the sage.
‘So my Lord, I’ve been seeing these strange dreams, well they are not exactly dreams they are..’ ‘Lost memories?’ said the sage cutting the words of Vignesh.
‘But how..’ ‘I’ve told you some secrets are better when hidden’ said the again cutting the words of Vignesh.
‘Ok so in these memories I’m able to hear the words of a King, who calls himself the king of this group called Jambhavuns.’ Said Vignesh
‘I’m listening’ said the sage.
‘So the king says that I have a lot of power and he says that I’m some..’ ‘Mahadev of Knowledge?’ the sage interrupted as usual.
‘If I..’ ‘Know how to use your powers then you will be the strongest man in the universe?’
‘Yes!’ said Vignesh flabbergasted.
‘So how can I get to know my powers?’ asked Vignesh.
‘By getting enlightened by the ChaturVedas which literally means four Vedas. These are the legendry vedas, once mastered one becomes the ultimate power. No wonder Lord Brahma wrote these legendary manuscripts.’ Said Vyasa.
‘So, what are these Vedas?’ asked Vignesh.
‘Rig Veda, also called as the Veda of Mantras, Sama Veda, also called as the Veda of Song, Yajur Veda, also called the Veda of Ritual. And then last the most powerful Veda Atharvana Veda, also known as Veda of Spells.’ Explained the sage.
‘So if I master all these spells would I become the Mahadev of Knowledge’ asked Vignesh.
‘Now, now I see something very common in people, Greed. Greed for power’ said the sage.
‘Greed?!’ yelled Vignesh.
How can I be such an imbecile? I’m showing greed for power what am I?! A power-Hungry MONSTER!!
‘No Vignesh don’t call yourself that’ smiled Vyasa.
‘WHAT BUT HOW?’ asked Vignesh.
‘I’m telling you once more son, some secrets are better when hidden said Vyasa with a broader smile. ‘Anyways you can’t call yourself that you are being excited so the greed is mechanically showing up, so it’s not your fault and yes if you master these Legendary Vedas then you will know how to use your power and your prowess would gradually rise up and you will bee call the Mahadev of Knowledge!’
‘So how do I learn them oh, great one?’ asked Vignesh.
‘It will be an honour to be your teacher’ said Vyasa with the broadest smile ever.
‘It will be an honour being your student oh great sage’ said Vignesh.
‘So we will start from tomorrow for now you can go home.

‘Your Highness’ said Mushak ‘All the military forces are ready’.
‘Good because, we’ll be setting off tomorrow, to Himaroop. So I don’t want any further delays.’ Said Kubera.
‘Sir everything is intact’ said military general Dheshan.

Padma and The King were wandering the halls of the Jambhavun palace. ‘Padma isn’t the moonlight sweet to absorb’ asked the king.
‘Yes your Highness.’ Said Padma.
‘So I think today is the best day we can kill that boy.’ Said the king
‘And I need forty soldiers for this murder.’ Whispered Padma.
‘Uh.. I hate it that you are over estimating your enemy and I hate it that you have lack of confidence.’ Grunted the king in disgust. ‘But I’m providing you with fifty Jambhavun soldiers’
‘Okay so where do you want me to go?’ asked Padma.
‘Kashmir Anadhashray (orphanage)’ replied the king.
‘An orphanage? The kid is an orphan?’ Padma frowned.
‘Yes, he is, now go and kill the kid’ ordered the king.
‘But what about the warden?’ asked Padma.
‘Do I really have to say everything? Can’t you fools just at least try to use your uneducated brains.’ Scolded the king.
So later Padma moved towards Kashmir Anadhashray with approximately fifty soldiers. As they snuck into the orphanage, they poisoned the warden and went marching forward into the room where little Vignesh was in deep slumber.
‘Isn’t he cute and adorable!’ exclaimed one of the soldiers staring at baby Vignesh.
‘Shut up Kishore! we’ve come to kill the baby not adopt it!’ hissed Padma. ‘Okay on count of three, one, two, three!’ Everybody raised their armed hands and were about stab the baby but an undoubtedly strong force was obstructing them from assassinating the baby.
Suddenly a soldier yelled on top of his lungs. As everybody turned to the side where the soldier was pointing, they were able to see sandalwood particles floating around and it started to multiply and that started morphing into an elephant trunk and a little more sandalwood morphed into an unfinished elephant head and connected the trunk and a little more sandalwood morphed into a human body with four hands beneath the elephant head.
It was the Ekdanth himself, who came to the baby Vignesh’s defence
Then suddenly a loud godly voice broke out from the figure formed by the sandalwood but the voice came out in such a way that only the Jambhavuns could hear it.
‘YOU RUTHELESS FOOLS! THAT BOY WHOM YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL IS MY INCARNATION AND IF YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL MY INCARNATION THEN YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!!’
A bright white light flashed along the entire perifrum.
The next day in that orphanage there were fifty corpses, including Padma’s, around the little Vignesh’s crib while he was playing happily in his crib, having no idea what happened.
‘Aah!’ Vignesh woke up panting after seeing that memory cum dream.
‘These memories are getting absurd day by day’ whispered a profusely sweaty Vignesh.
