The Giver of the Knowledge of Gita is in Vicious Cycle of Birth and Death

Ref: Gita Adhyay 2 Shlok 12, Adhyay 4 Shlok 5.

Gita Adhyay 2 Shlok 12

Na tvevāhaṁ jātu nāsaṁ na tvaṁ neme janādhipāḥ ||

Na chaiva na bhaviṣhyāmaḥ sarve vayamataḥ param || 12 ||

Brahm-Kaal tells Arjun, ‘Neither it is that I was not there in every age or you were not there or these Kings were not there and neither it is that further to this we all shall not be there’.

Adhyay 4 Shlok 5

Shrī Bhagavān uvācha

Bahūni me vyatītāni janmāni tava chā Arjuna ||

Tānyahaṁ veda sarvāṇi na tvaṁ vettha parantapa || 5 ||

Brahm-Kaal tells Arjun, 'You and I have had several births, you do not know I know’.

This proves the giver of the knowledge of Gita along with all creatures in his 21 universes are in a vicious cycle of birth and death.

The soul has been engaged in the search of God for ages. Like, a thirsty person craves for water. The soul after separating from God is experiencing great suffering. The happiness which was in Purna Brahm’s (SatPurush) Satlok (Ritdhaam), that happiness is not present here in Kaal (Brahm) God’s lok, whether someone is a millionaire or the Lord of the Earth (King of the whole Earth), or Lord of the Gods (the king of heaven, Indra), or is Lord of the three worlds (Trilokpati), Shri Brahma, Shri Vishnu and Shri Shiv. Because birth, death and the result of the performed deed has to be borne.

Note: Therefore, God Kaal who is the giver of the knowledge of Holy Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, has said in Adhyay 15 Shlok 1 to 4 and Adhyay 18 Shlok 62 that Arjun, go in the refuge of that God in every respect. By only His grace you will attain supreme peace and Satlok (Shaasvatam Sthanam - Eternal Place).

This means there is some other supreme power other than Gita orator who should be worshipped. Let us move ahead and know who can provide relief from the long illness of birth and rebirth and how is salvation possible?

अश्रद्दधानाः पुरुषा धर्मस्यास्य परन्तप | अप्राप्य मां निवर्तन्ते मृत्युसंसारवर्त्मनि || ३ || aśraddadhānāḥ puruṣā dharmasyāsya parantapa aprāpya māṁ nivartante mṛtyu-saṁsāra-vartmani Those who are not faithful on the path of devotional service cannot attain Me, O conqueror of foes, but return to birth and death in this material world. The faithless cannot accomplish this process of devotional service; that is the purport of this verse. Faith is created by association with devotees. Unfortunate people, even after hearing all the evidence of Vedic literature from great personalities, still have no faith in God. They are hesitant and cannot stay fixed in the devotional service of the Lord. Thus faith is a most important factor for progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In the Caitanya-caritāmṛta it is said that one should have complete conviction that simply by serving the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa he can achieve all perfection. That is called real faith. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (3.4.12) it is stated that by giving water to the root of a tree, its branches, twigs and leaves become satisfied, and by supplying food to the stomach all the senses of the body become satisfied, and, similarly, by engaging in the transcendental service of the Supreme Lord, all the demigods and all the living entities automatically become satisfied. https://gloriousgita.com/verse/en/9/3 https://bhagavad-gita.org/Gita/verse-09-03.html https://bookchanges.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Bg-Chapter-9-diff.htm https://youtube.com/c/HearSrilaPrabhupada https://www.bhagavad-gita.us/famous-reflections-on-the-bhagavad-gita/ #bhagavatam #srimadbhagavatam #vishnu #vishnupuran #harekrishna #harekrsna #harekrishna #harekrisna #prabhupada #bhagavadgita #bhagavadgitaasitis #bhagavadgītā #srilaprabhupada #srilaprabhupad #srilaprabhupadaquotes #asitis #india #indian #wayoflife #religion #goals #goaloflife #spiritual #bhakti #bhaktiyoga #chant #prasadam #picoftheday #photo #beautiful #usa https://sites.google.com/view/sanatan-dharma https://m.facebook.com/HDG.A.C.Bhaktivedanta.Svami.Srila.Prabhupada.Uvaca/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CnTeOg-owL9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chapter-11: Vishwarup Darshan Yoga

The 11th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita is one of the most fascinating and profound chapters in the sacred Hindu text. It is called the "Viśhwarūp Darśhan Yoga" or "Yoga through Beholding the Cosmic Form of God". In this chapter, Arjuna requests Lord Krishna to reveal His universal form, which encompasses all creation and transcends all limitations. Lord Krishna grants Arjuna the divine vision to see His infinite-form, which is described as dazzling, terrifying, and majestic. Arjuna is awestruck and overwhelmed by the sight of the Lord's cosmic form, which displays His supreme power, glory, and beauty. He sees all the gods, sages, demons, and warriors within the body of the Lord, and realizes that the outcome of the war is already determined by the will of the Lord. He praises the Lord with various names and attributes, and begs for His mercy and grace. He also apologizes for any disrespect he may have shown to the Lord in the past, considering Him as a mere friend and human. He requests the Lord to resume His gentle and loving two-armed form of Shree Krishna, which is more pleasing and accessible to him. The Lord complies with Arjuna's request, and tells him that he is the first and only person to see His primeval cosmic form, which cannot be attained by any other means except pure devotion. He instructs Arjuna to surrender to Him with love and faith, and assures him of His protection and liberation.

Some of the verses from this chapter that illustrate the magnificence and mystery of the Lord's cosmic form are:

- Bhagavad Gita Verse 11.8:

na tu māṃ śakyasē draṣṭumanēnaiva svachakṣuṣā / divyaṃ dadāmi tē chakṣuḥ paśya mē yōgamaiśvaram //

"But you cannot see Me with your present eyes. Therefore I give you divine eyes. Behold My mystic opulence!"

- Bhagavad Gita Verse 11.12:

divi sūryasahasrasya bhavēdyugapadutthitā / yadi bhāḥ sadṛśī sā syādbhāsastasya mahātmanaḥ //

"If hundreds of thousands of suns were to rise at once into the sky, their radiance might resemble the effulgence of the Supreme Person in that universal form."

- Bhagavad Gita Verse 11.32:

śrībhagavānuvācha / kālō'smi lōkakṣayakṛtpravṛddhō lōkānsamāhartumiha pravṛttaḥ / ṛtē'pi tvāṃ na bhaviṣyanti sarvē yē'vasthitāḥ pratyanīkēṣu yōdhāḥ //

"The Supreme Lord said: I am time, the great destroyer of the worlds, and I have come here to destroy all people. With the exception of you [the Pāṇḍavas], all the soldiers here on both sides will be slain."

- Bhagavad Gita Verse 11.54:

bhaktyā tvananyayā śakya ahamevamvidhō'rjuna / jñātuṃ draṣṭuṃ cha tattvēna pravēṣṭuṃ cha parantapa //

"My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding."

Some similar Vedic texts that also describe the cosmic form of the Lord or the Supreme Reality are:

- The Purusha Suktam:

A hymn from the Rig Veda, which depicts the cosmic being (Purusha) as the source and essence of all creation. It says:

sahasraśīrṣā puruṣaḥ sahasrākśaḥ sahasrapāt / sa bhūmiṃ viśvato vṛtvā'tyatiṣṭhad daśāṅgulam //

"The Purusha has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, and a thousand feet. He pervades the earth and extends beyond it by ten fingers' breadth."

- The Vishnu Sahasranama:

A stotra from the Mahabharata, which enumerates the thousand names and attributes of Lord Vishnu, the preserver and protector of the universe. It says:

viśvaṃ viṣṇurvaṣaṭkāro bhūtabhavyabhavatprabhuḥ / bhūtakṛdbhūtabhṛdbhāvo bhūtātmā bhūtabhāvanaḥ //

"He is the universe, He is Vishnu, He is the sacrifice, He is the lord of the past, present, and future. He is the creator, sustainer, and destroyer of beings. He is the soul of beings, He is the source of beings."

- The Shvetashvatara Upanishad:

It is one of the principal Upanishads, which expounds the philosophy of theism and the nature of the Supreme Lord. It says:

yasya nisvasitam vedah yasya chaya amritam yasya mrityuh / kasmai devaya havisha vidhema //

"To whom belong the Vedas, whose breath is life, whose shadow is immortality, and whose death is destruction. To which God should we offer our oblations?"

Some verses from the Bible that similarly describe the Vision of the Lord are:

- Isaiah 6:1-3:

בִּשְׁנַ֣ת מ֤וֹת הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ עֻזִּיָּ֔הוּ וָאֶרְאֶ֧ה אֶת־אֲדֹנָ֛י יֹשֵׁ֥ב עַל־כִּסֵּ֖א רָ֣ם וְנִשָּׂ֑א וְשׁוּלָ֖יו מְלֵאִ֥ים אֶת־הַהֵיכָֽל׃ סְרָפִ֨ים עֹמְדִ֤ים מִמַּ֙עַל֙ ל֔וֹ שֵׁ֥שׁ כְּנָפַ֖יִם שֵׁ֣שׁ כְּנָפַ֑יִם לְאֶחָ֗ד בִּשְׁתַּ֙יִם֙ יְכַסֶּ֣ה פָנָ֔יו וּבִשְׁתַּ֖יִם יְכַסֶּ֥ה רַגְלָֽיו׃ וּבִשְׁתַּ֙יִם֙ יְעוֹפֵ֔ף וְקָרָ֨א זֶ֤ה אֶל־זֶה֙ וְאָמַ֔ר קָד֧וֹשׁ׀ קָד֛וֹשׁ קָד֖וֹשׁ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֑וֹת מְלֹ֥א כָל־הָאָ֖רֶץ כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and His robe filled the temple. Seraphim were standing above Him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And they called to one another, saying: Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.

- Psalm 18:7-15:

אָ֭ז נִטְעֲרָ֣ה וַתִּרְעַ֑שׁ הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ וּמוֹסְדֵ֥י הָרִ֥ים יִרְגָּ֗זוּ וַיִּתְקַ֥עּוּ מֵאַפּֽוֹ׃ עָלָ֣ה עָשָׁ֣ן בְּאַפּ֑וֹ וְאֵ֥שׁ מִ֝פִּ֗יו תֹּאכֵ֥ל גֶּחָלִ֥ים בָּעֲרֽוּ׃ וַיֵּ֣ט שָׁ֭מַיִם וַיֵּרֵ֑ד וַ֝עֲרָפֶ֗ל תַּ֣חַת רַגְלָֽיו׃ וַיִּרְכַּ֣ב עַל־כְּר֣וּב וַיָּעֹ֑ף וַיֵּדֶ֖א עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ יָשֶׁ֣ת חֹ֭שֶׁךְ סִתְר֣וֹ סְבִיב֑וֹתָיו סֻכַּ֥תּוֹ חֶשְׁכַּ֥ת מַ֝֗יִם עָבֵ֥י שְׁחָקִֽים׃ מִנֹּ֣גַהּ נֶ֭גְדּוֹ עָבָ֣יו עָבָ֑רוּ בַּרַּ֥ד וְ֝גַחֲלֵי־אֵֽשׁ׃ וַיַּרְעֵ֣ם בַּשָּׁמַ֣יִם יְהוָ֑ה וְ֝עֶלְי֗וֹן יִתֵּ֥ן קוֹלֽוֹ׃ בַּרַּ֣ד וְ֭גַחֲלֵי אֵ֑שׁ יִשְׁלַ֥ח חִ֝צָּ֗יו וַיְבֻהֻ֥מוּם וּמַֽיִם רַבִּ֥ים יְשַׁלָּֽח׃

Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the mountains trembled and were shaken, because He was angry. Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; coals were set ablaze by it. He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds under His feet. He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind. He made darkness His covering, His canopy around Him—the dark rain clouds of the sky. Out of the brightness of His presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. He shot His arrows and scattered the enemies, with great bolts of lightning He routed them. The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of breath from Your nostrils.

                She had left after the grand speech of the chancellor, very much fed up with the things he had said.. There was only one person she had been able to leave Coruscant with aside from her advisor.. and her attention remained on him when they got landed back on her home planet of Tamaran.. Glittering cities that stood tall and allowed for sunlight and fauna to still grow around it. She had been cautious... careful and quiet.. She stood tall as she stepped down the ramp a couple steps before deciding to fly off it.

                She was careful to stop and visit while they were here. Not far from the hut that was offered to him to stay rolled a grand ocean, and to another side a large lake. He was quiet about the visits, but today was one of those days that she did so.. A soft knock to the hut door, standing back some ways as she waited for him to open the door. If the princess was anything, it was patient. There was a grand mess beginning in the galaxy but her people only had time to worry about themselves for the moment. “I am here for my visit--if that’s alright with you..” If not, she would simply leave.. it was fine. but she would like to at least visit him and help work through some of his problems.

❝ You look better in my clothes than I do. ❞ -Hiccup

@parantapa :\\ Meme: Hiccup;

            It’s almost too perfect, how they have been since the order.. She had hidden on her world, though the clones had refrained from coming here. The Republic didn’t like to travel to Berk to begin with.. why would their replacement bother trying? As much trouble as she had gone through getting back, as much as she felt her entire world falling apart.. some parts of it held together and weathered the storm.. Tradition and life here was one such thing to help her find some form of stability.. Somewhere that she could be at peace and come to terms with what happened. Not one, but two of her masters.. both people she looked up to and yet.. Both were gone.

          They had spent.. time together since her return to Berk. The land as peaceful and at the same time wild as the people here. She had picked up the skilles she needed to live here.. the wielding was a little different, but nothing that she couldn’t transfer after getting comfortable with the weaponry. The more time spent together.. the more time she spent thinking that something would happen. One day this peaceful home may have to be fled. One day the Empire will come here knowing there was something to look for among the wilderness and flying beings. Dragons had been part of her fascination when she got to start learning of her homeworld.

          In coming home.. she had not expected to get.. friendlier with the Chief’s son.. They had spoken a few times before the order.. enough that she would have considered him a friend at first. Though as the years in hiding had gone on.. she became more and more fond of the time they spent together. Though there were times she would borrow something of his.. anything possible. Today was a simple shirt of his, her hair tied up as she sketched out one of the dragons that was napping across the river. Blue eyes turn from the sketch to him, a soft bump of their shoulders being given as she turned her attention back to the sketch.

          “If I were still an active padawan, this could get me in trouble, you know.” Her words are not meant to be hostile.. they ring with some form of sadness. She had lost a lot over the clone wars.. and she feared more in the future.But for now.. she would enjoy the company she was given. Even if it was only for a little while.

           It’s... Certainly going to be a while-- she knows that. Though she knows it, she also knows it isn’t something one discusses as casually as what they had for breakfast. The owl had made her case, she wanted to be included in her Pare’s and family’s business. Wanted to help as much as she could, wanted to make the severe wrongs done to others right in some way. To give them the freedom, the safety and hope they needed-- that she had once needed. Her wings shift at her back, eyes ever unblinking and watching the shoulders of the other steadily rise and fall. Her expression is a bit solemn, she doesn’t want anyone to know what she’s up to yet, not for fear of how they’d react to just what she was doing but more so how they’d react to the possible consequences of it to herself. 

As loud as she normally is, she’s silent when she moves and even more so as she slips away from the others. She’d be back after a while, but training took time and it was limited right now. Connor would know some details if he spoke to her auntie, but beyond that, the owl said nothing to anyone as she seemingly disappeared from the world itself. Although she’d been training since she was young, this was far more rigorous and more intensive to better prepare her for the occupation she intended to pick up. Days turned into weeks and weeks to months-- her collection of scars grew and her skills far more honed by the end of it. The vivid clarity in which she saw with, her extremely sensitive hearing, it panned out quite well for her pare’s job; or rather, her job. 

Of course, she still checked in but she didn’t... Quite have the heart to contact Sakura or Mahdi. She missed them greatly and her guilt for disappearing without a word played into her inability to check in with them personally. Not to say she wasn’t sneaky with checking up on them and making sure they were okay-- she was definitely being coy about that. Though it seemed her inquiries were often geared towards Mahdi. He’s sulking, of course. Why though? Certainly it shouldn’t be too strange for someone to go on ‘vacation’ for a while. Or at least, that’s the excuse she told everyone to give if anyone asked about her. 

Why isn’t she talking to anyone though? No reception. Though reception hardly mattered when it came to their way of communication since they could traverse universes and keep in contact with each other thru the similar frequencies and well coded programs. By the time she did return, she perhaps looked far more disgruntled by her own emotions than she did before. Frustrated with the heavy weight in her heart, annoyed by how deeply it ached when she wondered how he was doing, confused by the whole of it and often caught wrinkling her nose while she stared out the window in thought about it. It was.. Suffocating. The amount of worry and wondering she felt. What irked her the most was her inability to think of a way to simply walk back into the same room and act as though she hadn’t been gone for months. 

Instead, she found herself adjacent to it, watching the rain she just came through patter against the window. Pale pupils almost lost in the gold from the lights passing by, she crossed her arms and wondered why it was taking so long for him to show up. Maybe she should’ve sent him a text or something about her being back? Thinking about it, she pulled her phone from her pocket and sent a quick message to him. The first in months and it was a simple hey, I’m back. What a mess she was.

                He’d heard that there was a jedi somewhere nearby.. and he did whatever he could to secure a meeting with them. Somewhere remote, a planet that the Empire had yet to take.. and yet.. The mantis touched down easily.. Greez mumbling something as he left the captain’s seat and heading towards the kitchen in the ship. Cere got up the second it was safe to step outside and take a moment to admire the planet they landed on.. Merrin had moved to spend a little time outside, to enjoy the authentic air while she could.

                But Cal.. He smiled a little at the knight as he stepped out, promising to be safe and continuing on his way. BD-1 clung to his poncho, peering over his shoulder while he made his way to the meeting point.. He was nervous, and it rattled the force around him.. He could only hope that Fulcrum wasn’t an Inquisitor.. It’s not until the new ship touched down that he shifted his weight nervously, the little droid on his shoulder beeping softly at him. “It’s gonna be alright, little buddy.”

                When the figure stepped into view of the redhead, blue eyes shifted to the droid before turning back to the other. “Fulcrum, I assume..?” The words are light, trying to mask the nervous energy that was starting to fade a little.

What if I just held on and never let you go? (Morrigan)

@parantapa​ :|| MEME ||: Morrigan

                Quiet.. things were.. quiet.. He’d not often talked about what he had been through growing up.. The things he’d done previously. He’d lied, he’d manipulated, he’d caused pain.. all because of one choice. He wished to do better than previous of himself had. He would always be himself and yet different. The world would never let Loki rest. Not as the version of himself he wished to be. To not be the one causing problems and only giving small pranks and causing painless mischief.

                Sometimes.. he wanted to just pick up anything that was his and leave.. to never return because of the way his life had been. Drop bonds with his father and brother.. and then disappear. He’d stopped looking at her after a while and merely watched the ground in disdain.. Those quiet moments spent reflecting on whether or not he could continue on with how things were in Asgard. Any one moment could come up.. and the person he currently was could be torn apart..

                Arms cautiously wrapped around him, causing a small start from the god, the green eyes of his shifting to see her before turning back to the spot that they had been focused on before. He would always be their villain. He was tired of being the villain. A hand moved to lightly rest on her arm.. appreciating the hold.. “I truly think you might spoil me, darling.” the words are spoken softly, tone level as he managed to relax a little. “Not that I would mind it in the least.”

Bhagavad Gita is the essence of all Vedic knowledge and one of the most important Upanishads in Vedic literature. If one reads Bhagavad Gita regularly and attentively, he can surpass the study of all Vedic literature.

imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ proktavān aham avyayam vivasvān manave prāha manur ikṣvākave ‘bravīt

evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ sa kāleneha mahatā yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa

sa evāyaṁ mayā te ‘dya yogaḥ proktaḥ purātanaḥ bhakto ‘si me sakhā ceti rahasyaṁ hy etad uttamam

TRANSLATION: The Suprem Lord said: I instructed this imperishable science of yoga to the sun-god, Vivasvān, and Vivasvān instructed it to Manu, the father of mankind, and Manu in turn instructed it to Ikṣvāku. This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost. That very ancient science of the relationship with the Supreme is today told by Me to you because you are My devotee as well as My friend; therefore you can understand the transcendental mystery of this science. (Bhagavad Gita 4.1-3)

Essomenic- Sahadev, and Patration for Arjun, please?

Hi @ambidextrousarcher (I love the new url and header 💙)

Essomenic: showing things as they will be in the future

Sahadev

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss, its veil covers the undesirable, allows the smiles to live on for a little longer. But that luxury was not one bestowed to him in the charity of fate. Unbridled knowledge, lacking any mercy, was an inseparable share of his life now. And if it spared the ones he loved from bearing any more pain, he would choose this fate again and again, for all his lives. To see them smiling together was enough to provide him with newfound resolve. The sight of the entire Indraprastha, thriving and joyful, was the proof that many times, ignorance really was bliss. Never in his dreams he would want to shatter this beautiful, breathtaking sight, their perfect and carefree home.

He loved the sight of Panchaali laughing lightly, he treasured each one of those in his mind. She would often be puzzled by his steady glances, but still humored his behaviour. She and Bhraata Bheem would be sharing an inside joke about Bhraata Arjun, and then instantly dissolved into laughter, tears glistening in their eyes, those ones of pure joy, which he would reverently preserve in his palms, if he could. If he could, he would lock this blessed time within his heart, away from the cruelty of fates. And then his musings would be disturbed, for it would be time for Krishnaa to feed the needfuls that they welcomed as their guests, before the royal family accepted any meals for themselves. No one left her presence with any want in their hearts. No one ever will.

Their beloved Abhimanyu used to run around all of them, trying to hide from his mothers, and more often than not, he would hide his nephew in his arms. A master in evasion, he passed through the rooms as a breeze, slipping through their hands. Whenever he got a hold of his little nephew, he would show a toothy, guilty smile, one which made him weak. And the little menace knew that. The only words he could manage to whisper, inaudible to their little prince, were a request and a blessing, "may the valorous Saubhadra always remain elusive to the ones who wished him ruin, untouched from the malicious clutches of the vengeful".

Nakul used to laugh, because he would sometimes spend his free hours under the guidance of the royal herder, learning about how to attend to the large population of cattle under the ownership of the palace and how best to provide for their welfare. His twin would tremble with humorous chuckles and tease him about the absolute uselessness of this kind of knowledge for a Kshatriya prince, joking about the times when the advisor of the Samrat will have the absolute need to milk a cow. When he retorted back, about how Nakul himself was spending a bit much time in the stables, he would defend himself by explaining that a prince should have mastery in the art of horse riding, a skill too useful for a warrior. His mind reflected on the cruelty of fate, for this interest would certainly be of service to his twin, in the future that stormed nearer. He himself encouraged his brother to hone this skill of his but, on the outside, he would pout a little in return, tell him off or threaten to tell Bhraatashree about his unmannerly teasing, and their childish squabbles would continue. He relished every moment of it, he loved when Nakul complained about petty matters, because it meant that he was happy, he was comfortable, that he was still optimistic...

He buried back the immense remorse in his heart, whenever the king played a harmless game of dice, only a mere diversion from the daily duties. His family tried to distract him from his habit, but only a halfhearted attempt. When invited for a round, he would try to lead the king's mind away from that weakness of his. "Any riches of the world would turn to dirt if obtained through a mode so neglectful." he used to advise respectfully, "Only a coward would attempt to seize anything precious and worthwhile from behind the shelter of a game so trivial" always countered the Samrat, his belief immovable in all Kshatriyas always adhering to their morals. So their game would continue, and he would try to prevent his mind from wondering mirthlessly about how it would feel to be in the place of one of those bags of gold, a general possession, only on display to be gambled away...

Patration: perfection or completion of something

Arjun

Draw the string of the bow, and lose it again. The routine may feel mechanical, soulless to anyone on the sidelines, but it feels like a prayer to the one practicing. The whistling arrows are singing the hymns in his stead, the blood drawn from his hands is the sacrifice to the holy fire, every arrow finding it's mark is one cycle of chanting complete. There is no one else present in that world in which the devotee Paarth worships his gods, the bow and arrow. The center of the target beckons to him as his moksha, and as certain as an ancient sage meditating for centuries, he attains it.

His was the aim to master the art of archery, and thus Savyasachi was born into the world, the one who wields the flame-blessed Gandiva with dexterity of both his hands; the Gudakesha who lords above the constraints of sleep. His was the aim to raise Indraprastha as a part of the heavens, and so Dhananjaya was brought into existence, the winner of absolute wealths in the four directions and all the three worlds, the very one called Kiriti who graced the crown gifted by Devendra.

His was the aim to become stronger for retribution, for their tears and their scars. And for that wish, born was the warrior Jishnu, the unsurpassed, uncontrollable one who subdued his opponents, the Vijaya who defeated all in the fields of war, the one who was blessed with the feared Pashupatastra by Mahadeva. In his name-fellow Krishna's words, he was the Parantapa who scorched his enemies. But, even then he didn't relinquish the title of Vibhatsu, whether referring to the honorable one or the one who incited terror in the hearts of his foes, all the difference lied in the eyes of his beholder.

His was the aim to finish their Agyatavas successfully, so came Brihannala into creation, for achieving that target. Each movement of the teacher who taught Matsya's princess was a precise and well-crafted one, never spurred in a moment; each gesture sharper than the finest of blades, the disciplined motions preconceived even before the melodies flowed into the air, leaving the spectator entranced beyond mere words. The gracefulness mesmerized all before they could grow any suspicions. The princess adored her mentor and the prince realized all too late why he was so affected by the sways of that dancer, flaring like the fierceness of the one who was perfected by the heat of wars. When the prince was finally blessed with knowledge about their guests, it all became too clear.

All these thoughts flashed by Uttar's mind in mere moments. In his eyes, the Arjun whose charioteer he had the honour of becoming was the essence of excellence, the flawless, pure white one, the white horses of Shvetavahana's chariot being very fitting for his stature. He was standing in the presence of perfection itself and so multitudes of feelings were storming inside his mind, all names of Phalguna falling short in describing his greatness. Maybe it was his incredulous countenance, or the awe in his eyes that Arjun noticed, for he smiled at the young prince- a knowing smile. "I am just a man who wants to protect my loved ones, don't you want to protect princess Uttara, your parents and your kingdom too, Prince?" He asked good-naturedly and received a nod in reply. With kind eyes came the explanation, "So there you go, we are both not so different then. We both have somethings we cherish and want to protect, and if there are obstacles in the path we have chosen, then?" "We will best them and forge ahead?" answered the young prince hesitantly. "Exactly," encouraged Arjun "what we seek is not perfection but fulfillment of our aims, our wishes. We desire the bird's eye only, so we only follow the path that leads to it, unwaveringly, and the perfection of piercing through that target will follow in our steps as a result". Uttar smiled in response, with the resolve that one day he would surely justify the words that Arjun has said to him. That one day, he would proudly declare to the world that he and The Archer were the ideal warriors of one kind..

              It was supposed to be a relief mission that had quickly turned into a battlefield. The troopers moved swiftly knowing there was danger in the area for any civilians. A call was given to the troops, the commander running to another angle to fill in a gap when he saw the man in the middle of the battlefield. Possibly a civilian, it didn’t matter. Guns were swapped out, pistols being unholstered with ease as commander moved to provide cover.

              An order over comms given, the troopers moved to provide cover fire to the commander while he pulled the man behind cover. A moment of a roll, the trooper moved out to aim at something flammable. Create an explosion, redirect their attention. A moment of shifting and his attention moved to the one standing by him, and while he wasn’t entirely familiar with the senators.. he did recognize a few of the representatives. “--Representative Fitzherbert?”

              There was a moment of pause, the helmet of the trooper shifting to glance over and aim at yet another canister left unattended and cause more chaos on the enemy’s lines. “What are you doing here, sir?” Confusion filtered through the helmet’s modulators, shifting to figure out a trail back to friendly lines. Arm with comms came up, the trooper shifting so that he could take a knee. “Make a hole--I’m bringing a representative back to our lines.”

              More distractions would be needed for the droids--too stupid to know when they were being fooled.
