Chapter 83 83. Trouble Of Apsara



While Ashwatthama worried about his new little friend and started his journey in hope, Meanwhile in the dining hall of the Hastinapur palace atmosphere was complicated.

"Psst~ Sister Sandhay, isn't our son too beautiful? His charm even suppresses the goddess of Enchantment, Mohini. Isn't this a problem? What if those Apsaras (Celestial Nymph) were attracted to him? It would be a problem if he just rejects them as they also like to curse anyone who rejects them."

The duo of mothers, Chhaya and Sandhya we're lost looking at their son talking using their divine senses with each other, Before they somehow didn't notice his charm might be because of the excitement of meeting him but now that they sit and take a good look at him, they were shocked to the core.

Their son was sitting there eating like a madman but his actions were too elegant and filled to the brim with charm. It was simply mesmerising. This simple action of his should have been like that but here it was, Even his barbaric behaviour looked enchanting to look at.

It was in itself quite an extraordinary thing but it was nothing when their eyes landed on his face. For a second they had forgotten to breathe and they were shocked to the core as they could not take their eyes away from him.

It was the natural instincts of any living being towards the beautiful things, A very pure form of emotion. They felt deja vu as they remember how they felt when the first time they saw the Avatar of Lord Vishnu, The goddess Mohini.

The one who was embodiment of beauty, The one who charmed all beings be it Deva or Asura, Even supreme were not able to resist her charms and yet Chhaya and Sandhya felt that their son is more beautiful and charming then her.

And they were right as Karna not only got a supreme charm but also has his Star-child bloodline enchanting his charm, After that there are also many buffs on his body making him more and more charming and handsome as days went by.

Right now the reason why people are even able to walk past him is because Karna still has a mortal body with impurities in it. Once he starts to learn divine knowledge and purify his body, His charms will once again take a leap.

At that time there is no way someone is able to walk past him once they lay their eyes on him, He can be said to become Medusa just he will not turn people into stone but to his die heart fans.

"Chhaya, I was also wondering that, Those Apsaras have nothing to do. Whenever they see good-looking men or strong men, They always want to copulate with them and when rejected, They curse those men. 

Putra Shani is a prime victim of their this act. I don't want that to happen to our other son too but how can we prevent that? They don't care if that men is married or not as they believe in Gandharva* Vivaha (Marriage).

So even marrying Karna to someone is not the solution to keep those Apsaras away. What can we do then?"

Sandhya, like Chhaya, also thought of the same thing when she saw the beauty of her son. There is no doubt that once those Apsaras saw him they will want to be with him even if it is for one night.

For other it might be promiscuous behaviour but Gandharvas (Nymph) were not bound by those restrictions as they according to their tradition marry a guy before they make any physical relationship with them, and because of that it is fine, Plus because of they are celestial being they after the act once again become virgins, So they still stay chaste and "pure" for another marriage.

As for how there is another marriage? Because the problem with Gandharva marriage is that the it is very simple, As long as men and women mutually agree, Which is mostly because of lust, They are considered husband and wife and when both satisfy themselves they can go on their own ways as the marriage based on mutual agreement can also be broken by mutual agreement.

Hence why Apsaras are so rampant as technically they are doing nothing bad, They by their Dharma marry a man and then do all other things, Which is allowed and their right to do so. 

And because they were following their Dharma and they themselves are celestial beings, They get to have a moral high ground which used to curse anyone who refused them.

Her poor son, Shani becomes the victim of such Gandharva, Just because he did not look at her dancing when he was praying to his lord Shiva, She cursed him that anyone he looked at will suffer bad fortune.

Though later the same Gandharva Princess Damini became her Daughter-In-Law and second wife of her son, Shani but that is a tale to tell for another day, Now she was more concerned about Karna.

"Sister, how about we marry him off to one of Apsara? That way they will not bother him. Maybe Rambha or Urvashi will do the work as both are respected among Gandharvas and because this will be married to the mortal, They will not going to have problems even if they are committed to others as Apsars have that right."I think you should take a look at

Chhaya quickly thought of something. It's true there no way they can keep Karna away from those Apsaras, Even the great saves were failed in front of them, Hence why Indra Dev loves to use them to do his bidding.

But if they approach those Apsaras, Then it works in their favour, Rambha and Urvashi both are very respected among the Gandharvas. If anyone is married to Karna, Others will not dare to think of Karna.

And even if they two refused to marry Karna, Chhaya knows that her father (same as Sandhay's) Vishvkarma is friends with Gandharva kings, They can marry Karna to that princess though it will still be a little risky as that princess does not hold the same amount of power like two mentioned, It still works like a deterrent.

"Yes you are right, I should go and-"

"I don't know what you two were talking about all those while but can you stop staring at Karna? Don't you see others are giving you weird looks? I know you two are cooking something in your head but I please don't do anything stupid, Karna will be fine, Just know his name will be written in the history with golden words."

Hearing the words of Chhaya, Sandhya was excited as this is a perfect solution for their dilemma but before she could do something, The annoyed voice of their husband Surya break in reminding them that while they were talking they had forgotten that their eyes were still on Karna and because of that of hers were looking at them weirdly.

"Is everything alright concerning guests? Why were you not eating? Do you need something else?"

It was Gandhari who came forward because neither Sandhya nor Chhaya had not even touched their food yet, Though Gandhari knows these people are fishy, She can't ignore their needs or act rude as Dharma says even if the enemy comes to the door as a guest, They should be respected.

"No, Everything is fine, We just appreciating the beauty of Putra there, He surely is blessed by the gods above."

Both said in sync without missing a beat but hearing their answer Surya could not help but facepalm.

"...."

As expected others were surprised by their answer but thankfully no one pointed it out as they realised what these two said was not wrong, just out of place.

Meanwhile, Karna ignored everything around him and was just devouring the food as soon as it was being placed in front of him.
