Chapter 98 98. Sanjeevani Mantra



"What was the name of that Mantra, Guru Dev?"

Karna was sure that it was Indra who made all that happen, Though it is also possible that the Niyati could not allow someone that powerful to exist in the mortal realm but in either case, Indra is directly responsible for it.

But Karna was more curious about the Mantra, If he get that mantra, He didn't have to worry about the safety of the people around him, that way no one can use his people against him.

"Name? What else it could be other than Sanjeevani Mantra, It's given to Asura Guru Shukracharya by Lord Shiva, Which he passed down to Maharishi Dadhichi.

That is one of the few things that can defy death, Hence why it looked so highly off, And the reason why it is given by Lord Shiva, A Mrityunjaya (Conquer Of Death)."

Rishi Durvasa didn't think anything about the question of Karna, He simply answered, Anyway it's not like this knowledge is any secret, Everyone who has some Vedic knowledge knows this.

Here Karna got what he wanted to know, He even though had not cared much about this kinda thing in his last life but he fortunately heard this story. Now all Karna wanted to find the Shukracharya and learn that Mantra from him.

"Hey, I know what you are thinking but I suggest you drop that idea, Asura Guru Shukaracharya stopped taking in any students, If not for that I recommend Duryodhana to be his student.

As for Sanjeevani Mantra? It's even harder to get that than to be his student now. There is a reason why Ushna became Shukra, So don't dream about being able to get that mantra from him.

Still, if you want, I can put request him for you to teach you the arts of Maya (Illusion), As the teacher of Asura, he is quite good at it but that's all you can't get out of him"

Durvasa this time at a glance sees through the motive of Kanra, He could not help but feel funny as he knows what it means of getting that Mantra, There is no way Shukracharya is going to teach that mantra to anyone.

Especially not after nearly every student of his betrayed him, Plus he is warned not to misuse his blessing, The reason why Asura's still in the Patal Loka (Netherworld Domain) and not conquered the Deva Loka (Domain Of Deva's).

But still, Now that the subject of Shukracharya came up, Durvasa did not know why though of sending Karna to him later on to learn the art of Maya, He didn't know why he thought like this.

He didn't even like fighting with Maya, he was upfront, Just overpower your opponent still they concede defeat. That's how most devotees of Mahakal (The one who defeats time and death) fight.

And yet he thought of this but after further thought Durvasa didn't think it is a bad choice, After all, Sukracharya is a very capable and knowledgeable teacher, and He has more than enough qualifications to be get a revered position in Deva Loka (Domain Of God) if not for the fact that the Guru of Shukracharya was too biased towards his own son.

If Shukracharya was treated fairly, He would be in the alliance of Deva, A powerful knowledge ally but that is all in the past, What matters is that, He is good to teach Karna a few basic skills.

Even if Karna didn't learn Maya, He can at least learn how to counter it. It will be quite helpful against dwellers in the dark, Whose main weapon is Maya. 

"It will be helpful Gurudev, Thank you for this favor."

Karna was disappointed hearing the answer of Durvasa but after finding out he can at least learn Maya from the best, He was happy about it, The main thing those blue guys use is Maya.

He now has an eye for chaos to destroy and create Maya but it will be a lot more effective and powerful if he added the art of Maya on top of it. It will be nothing but helpful.

"Don't worry about it, Just go and pack your stuff, We will be leaving first thing in the morning."

Little doubt arises in the heart of Durvasa vanished when he saw Karna also liked this idea, Anyway the more there is for him to learn the less chance that he will ever be able to reach to the secret of immortality.

Now that everything is settled, He wanted to tell his student to be prepared as he wanted to start teaching as soon as possible, Karna already lost quite some time. Though the right age to start learning is 10 years old but before that one has to learn all the basic knowledge about those weapons.

They have to learn Vedic knowledge, Know about Dharma, and Learn what is right and wrong to lay the foundation for beginning to start opening Chakra points, If not laid foundation beforehand it will be very hard to open those points hence it will limit the further growth of warrior.I think you should take a look at

"Ahh…About that. I can't come with you this early, I need at least a month to convince my mother to allow me to go, But Guru Dev if you think you can convince her, You are more than welcome to try.

Just that I warn you, She is a really sweet good lady, But when it comes to me she becomes an overprotective mother hen, So be extremely careful with words or who knows what she will do if she thought you are trying to hurt me or worse trying to take me away from her."

Karna was a little embarrassed when Rishi Durvasa asked him to be prepared to leave, Though he too wants to leave and start his training as soon as possible but the problem comes with his mother.

He knows with her protectiveness for him, She will never allow him to leave with a strange man. What? This is a revered Sage? She doesn't care. As long as she does not make sure you are not a threat to him, she does not feel calm.

Karna was himself surprised that she had not yet come looking for him, Even though he had not gone home since yesterday, Hence why he needed at least a month to convince her. If not he really didn't know how she would react and he too didn't want to go away hurting her.

"...Just call me in your mind when you are ready to go, I will come to take you two away."

Rishi Durvasa wanted to argue but the moment he heard the reason the didn't dare to put up any argument, He is an angry man, not a fool, He knows when to back away.

He can face anyone except a mother. A wise man will never mess with a mother who wants to protect her child. Even his lord, The Mahakal (The conqueror of time and death) was helpless against the angry mother.

So he will never take the risk of angering another, Hence why he just accepted the proposal of Karna, It's not much to wait a month compared to other options.

So after that, everything moved smoothly, Durvasa decided to stay in the palace as a guest, and So did the Surya family because they wanted to make sure Karna was okay in the presence of Durvasa.

Karna on the other hand goes with the kids to the royal doctor to change the bandages of Sushana and Eklavya.

...

Deep in the first two men were seated under the tree, Both men had a very divine aura surrounding them, One man looked like a Sage, While the other man thought quite handsome but anyone who first sees him will not pay attention to his handsomeness but something else.

"On the 11th day, Jaya (A victory without anyone losing, Also another name of Karna) entered the battlefield taking Shalya as his charioteer and…"

Sage was talking about something while another handsome man was writing it but Sage stopped abruptly with a shocked look on his face, While when he stopped talking, The second man looked up at him in surprise not understanding why Sage stopped.

But no matter the reason, Sage broke the rule that had he given to him, Now he no longer needed to write this down, Before the started writing this for Sage he got a promise from Sage, He will write till Sage keep talking, Though he too needs to understand the meaning before writing those things but now the rule got broken.

"Why? We were so close to finishing the book, So why did you stop the Rishi Krishna Dwaipayana?"

The handsome man put down the feather pen down from his hands and closed the leaf paper book but he could not contain his curiosity and asked the Sage name Krishna Dvaipayana, Who is most commonly known by his title Ved Vyas.

"O' Gauri Nandan (Son Of Gauri), There is no meaning to write this tale anymore because it's no longer true, Something changed Niyati."

Sage answered looking at the handsome man with a trace of expectation and yet fear towards the unknown, While the handsome man picked up the sweets from the side with his trunk feeding himself.

(A/N : I have a fever, So I can only write one chapter today. Hope you guys understand.

I don't think this needs to be asked but who do you think the second person is?

Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ?)
