Day 78

Divine Boons and Battlefield Chaos

A Devotee's Plea

The second Lila, recognizing Sarasvati's divine presence, beseeched her for a boon—to accompany her husband to the afterlife upon his demise in battle, remaining in her earthly form.

Divine Granting of Boons

Moved by the sincere devotion of the second Lila, Sarasvati graciously granted her request, bestowing upon her the boon she sought with unwavering faith.

Reflections on Fate

The first Lila, intrigued by Sarasvati's actions, questioned why she was not allowed to traverse realms with her physical body. Sarasvati, in her wisdom, explained that each soul reaps the fruits of its own deeds, guided by the intricate workings of consciousness.

The King's Fateful Decision

Meanwhile, King Viduratha, unaware of the impending danger, led his forces into battle without fully assessing the strength of his enemy. With courage and determination, he ventured forth into the heart of the conflict, oblivious to the chaos that awaited him.

Witnessing the Horrors of War

From the safety of the palace, the two Lilas, Sarasvati, and the blessed princess observed the unfolding carnage on the battlefield. The sky reverberated with the clash of weapons and the thunderous roar of war, while smoke and dust shrouded the city in a veil of darkness.

Chaos and Conflict

As King Viduratha plunged into the fray, the battlefield erupted into a cacophony of sounds—the relentless onslaught of missiles and the clash of steel reverberating through the air, painting a grim portrait of the brutal realities of war.

As the tumultuous battle raged on, the fate of the king and his kingdom hung precariously in the balance, while the divine observers looked on, their hearts heavy with the weight of destiny's unfolding drama.
