Paarth-Panchaali
Krishna stood beside Maharaj Drupad, watching his two best
friends exchange wedding garlands. He smiled knowingly at the shrewd
King's obvious satisfaction at having his daughter married to the young
man he had coveted for so long. Krishna himself smiled for another
reason. Yes it was true that Draupadi's marriage also included Arjun's
four brothers, yet Krishna felt a special kind of satisfaction seeing
Arjun take his beloved sakhi around the sacrificial fire.
What they
didn't know...what may take them a lifetime to realise, was that they were
both a special part of him. Arjun was literally half of his soul.
Krishna knew that their friendship would transcend normal levels and
come to be thought of as a relationship between man and God, but the
love which he held for Arjun couldn't be measured in human form.
Krishna chuckled as he remembered their past life as
Nara-Narayan, the twin incarnations of the four-armed Vishnu. Their time
at Badrinath had been beautiful indeed, but they had spent most of
their time immersed in penance and austerities. Their relationship in
this life was going to be very different. Krishna openly laughed in
anticipation of the adventures he would share with Arjun. Drupad
furrowed his eyebrows and turned to glance around for the source of the
commotion, but seeing it was his daughter's beloved sakha, he smiled and
continued throwing flower petals over the bride and groom.
