Demise of the Demon King Read online

  Soon King Bharagav and his son were present in the royal court of Vidarbh, Tejasvi was present their too.

  'King Bharagav, after your every defeat, I always let you go. I could understand your desires to be victorious by getting the Divine Gem, but you turned blind in your desires to such an extent, that you joined hand with the Asuras. You don't even deserve to be called as Human.' Vikramajit was furious.

  'No, Yo majesty, it's not true. Getting the Divine Gem is not our desire, it's just our need. I have to save my daughter, 'Suvarna's' life, and her disease could be cured only through Divine Gem.' King Bhargav tried to explain himself.

  'If that was the situation, you could come in front of me, and should have requested for it.'

  'We have already attacked kingdom of Vidarbh several times for Divine Gem, Yo majesty. If we come to request you for this, could you trust us? That's why we gone through a deceit.'

  'It's about your daughter's life, otherwise I would have punished you to be hanged till death. But I cannot take a sin of a child's demise on my head. Go King Bhargav, I am freeing you and providing Divine Gem to you. And I hope that you will follow your Kshatriya Dharma, and will return it safely.'

  King Bhargav was stunned for a while. He didn't even thought of this greatness of Vikramajit, 'Sure, Yo Majesty. No one on this earth can be compared with your courage, merciness and your devotion towards Dharma. Forgive me,we couldn't judge you. It's my promise, that after saving my daughter's life, I will come to return this Divine Gem to you, because only you are capable to handle its responsibility.' Bhargav eyes were wet, he was grateful towards Vikramjit.

  'But I want to know, Bhargav. Why Demons supported you?'

  'Yo majesty, Grandson of Demon King Markesh 'Subaahu', is in love with my daughter Suvarna. Markesh was helping us,in the love of his grandson, he want that my daughter should marry his grandson. But my daughter is in love with Tejasvi, who is your son, Yo majesty.'

  Every person present in the court was shocked. King Vikramajit stood up from his throne listening this. Tejasvi was surprised too.

  'What you are saying, Yo majesty? My father's name is Chakrsen, and he is Army Chief of Balishthgadh.' Tejasvi asked Bhargav standing in the court of Vidarbh.

  'Have patience, son. Yo Majesty, try to remember, sixteen years before you had a son. But you had lost him, because of curse of Sage Shankracharya.'

  'What are you babbling, Bharagav? I don't remember anything.' King of Vidarbh found it nonsense, he was not able to recall anything.

  Then Veersen stood up from his place, he requested Vikramajit. 'I agree with King Bhargav, Elder. You must come and touch this child, you'll get to know everything.'

  On Veersen's request, King of Vidarbh stood up and stepped forward towards Tejasvi. Soon he came near him and touched his shoulder. As a result, he received a sharp shock and he falls on the floor. Tejasvi tried to hold him, but didn't succeed. Perhaps, this was the call of the blood of his veins.

  'I know you are regaining your memories of that scary past, King. He is your son majesty, his capability is his introduction. This strength, these archery skills, only your blood could have such capacity.' Bhargav introduced Tejasvi proudly.

  'Chitrlekha…….' King Vikramajit shouted loudly, Pehaps his past memories was too painful, which came suddenly in front of his eyes.

  'What is this? What happened to King of Vidarbh?' Tejasvi was astonished.

  Soon Vikramajit controlled himself, he stood up from the floor. His eyes were filled with tears.

  'W...What is happening over here?' Tejasvi was disturbed.

  'I'll tell you my son. To know about your actual identity, you must know the tragic incident took place sixteen years before. Yes, it's true that you are my son, because I can regain my lost memories only after touching you. Today I'll narrate you that story, about which you must know, so that you can realize your actual identity.'

  'Eighteen years before, Bhargav was not the ruler of Balisthgadh. His elder brother 'Soochipad' was the King of Balishthgadh. He organized a grand ceremony called Swayamwar, for his daughter Chitrlekha's marriage. Kulguru of his kingdom was 'Sage Shankracharya' who was a great Brahmin and fierce warrior too. He treat Chitrlekha as his daughter.'

  King of Vidarbh, Vikramajit was lost in the memories of his wife, his mind goes in his past life. He could clearly feel that part of his life in front of his eyes.

  King Soochipad organized a grand event. Countless Kings and Princes of Prithvilok were present at the event of this Swayamwar.The beauty of Chitrlekha can't be compared with anyone. Listening the description of her beauty, every King and Prince were eager to prove them superior to each other.

  Cursed Tejasvi

  King Soochipad stood up from his throne, and declared

  'People, I want my daughter 'Chitrlekha' to marry the greatest warrior of this Aaryavart. There is only one task of this Swayamwar, the warrior who will defeat one of the powerful warrior of the demon's race named 'Trikaal Bhairav' will be the winner.'

  All the people in the court were shocked, as it was very difficult to face Trikaal and his Demons army. 'Ambrish' the King of Vallabhgadh, stood up furiously from his place.

  'O King. Do you want your daughter to get married, or you invited us just to play the game of death. Trikaal Bhairav is a demon, and demons lives in Patallok. Neither we have any elusive, nor any divine powers, how could we reach there?'

  'I will tell you, King Ambrish.' This voice was ofKulguru ( the clan mentor ) of Balishthgadh i.e. 'Shankracharya'. When he entered in the court, all the people present their stood up to pay him respect.

  'King Ambrish. If you promise me to kill Trikaal Bhairav, I'll make sure that you must reach there.'

  'Is this some kind of joke or what? Why King Soochipad has putted such type of competition, in which maximum of the participants could face death?'

  'Princess Chitrlekha has completed eighteen years of age, and if anyone would not be able to fulfill this condition, then Trikaal Bhairav would come here to abduct and marry her.'

  'O Sage, You are capable enough to face that demon. Then why this condition is?'

  'Would I will protect her even after her marriage? Princess Chitrlekha treated me as like her father since her childhood, so she is as like my daughter. I will not be available to protect her always, that's not possible for me. That's why I want that, Chitrlekha should marry the greatest warrior of this Aaryavart, who could finish the danger of Trikaal Bhairav.'

  'O Sage, if that is the condition, then I am ready to accept this challenge.' The crown prince of Vidarbh, 'Vikramajit 'stood up from his place. Everyone in the court was shocked to see his bravery.

  'No, it can't be. Firstly, I will go to face that demon Trikaal Bhairav in a war.' Ambrish said in excitement.

  'If that's your wish, then first chance will be given to you, King Ambrish. I must tell you, that Trikaal Bhairav is present currently on earth (Prithvilok), and he is coming towards Balishthgadh with his army.' Said Sage Shankracharya alerting Ambrish.

  'If that's true, then I and my army will soon attack that demon's army.'

  'Sure, King Ambrish. Your bravery can't be compared, go and also take army of Balishthgadh with you, and declare war against that evil Trikaal Bhairav.' King Soochipad praised King Ambrish.

  'Then I want your permission to leave, Yo Majesty.' King Ambrish joined his hands in front of King Soochipad, and thereafter he set out to face Trikaal Bhairav.

  After this Sage Shankracharya turned towards Prince Vikramajit and said.

  'Prince Vikramajit. Your capability and bravery is not hidden, you are the crown prince of Vidarbh, who are worst enemy of the demons. You are singlehandedly capable to defeat Trikaal Bhairav and his army. I request you to go and save life of King Ambrish.'

  'As you wish Sage. King Ambrish will not accept my help in war, but when he will be near to his death, I'll surely raise my weapons. I must leave now.' With the blessings of Sage Shankracharya, Vikramajit proceeded towards the battlefie
ld.

  On one side Trikaal Bhairav with his army was approaching towards Balishthgadh. He noticed a huge army was coming towards him. Suddenly one of his soldier came with the information.

  'My Lord, One young warrior is coming towards us, with the army of Balishthgadh.'

  Trikaal Bhairav was seemed to be turned mad with anger. 'I have taken my army with me, just to scare Soochipad, but if he wants war, there will be a war. I'll marry Chitrlekha after destroying the clan of Balishthgadh.'

  Within that period of time, King Ambrish reached in front of Trikaal Bhairav with his army.

  'Who are you young man? Don't say that you have come in front of me with this weak and small army, to defeat me in a war.' Trikaal laughed at Ambrish.

  'You have got it right, wretch demon. My aim is to kill you and marry Chitrlekha.'

  'Chitrlekha belongs to me, you fool. May be you don't have love with your life, because you have committed a big mistake by taking the name of Chitrlekha with your tongue. I'll punish you, and that punishment is death. Attack………..'

  A huge war broke out within two armies. The Demon's army was as vast as sea, leading to grab the confidence of Balishthgadh army. Soon Ambrish and Trikaal Bhairav were in front of each other for a duel. Trikaal thrown his mace and destroyed the chariot of Ambrish, Ambrish jumped from his chariot. Thereafter he raised his axe and started moving towards him. Ambrish also took out his sword and stood up to face Trikaal. But he wasn't able to stand in front him for moments, soon he was disarmed and also he falls on the ground.

  Now life of Ambrish was on mercy of Trikaal's Axe. But before Ambrish could be beheaded through his weapon, an arrow with unpredictable speed collided with his axe and disarmed him. This arrow was shoted by none other than, Prince Vikramajit. Trikaal Bhairav recognized him at a glance.

  'Vikramajit, why you always come with barriers in our motive? I love Chitrlekha, I have come here to marry her, so get out of my way.'

  'If you loved her, you must have tried to win Chitrlekha's heart. You must have not come up with your army to scare her father and people of Balishthgadh. I am warning you, control the hunger of your desires and return back. Otherwise you will be dead.'

  'Firstly you tell me, why you are putting barrier in my way?'

  'King Soochipad has organized Swayamwar for his daughter Chitrlekha, and the challenge to win this event is just one thing, i.e your demise.'

  'Ohh…..that's the matter. You came to fight me to fulfill your desires, and blaming me that I am full of desires. Chitrlekha is mine, whoever will come in my way, will be surely dead. So be alert, and get ready for war Vikramajit.'

  Trikaal took his sword and rushed towards Vikramajit. Vikramajit also jumped from his horse and rushed towards him in disarmed position only. His presence lead to increase the confidence level of Balishthgadh army at extreme level, they started slaughtering demons like Lamb.

  Before Trikaal could reach Vikramajit with his sword, Prince of Vidarbh lifted a huge rock and thrown it towards his opponent. As a result sword of Trikaal Bhairav was gone, also he falls down. Vikramajit and that Demon, both were disarmed, and ready to fight a duel.

  Both rushed towards each other and the Mallyudh( a type of wrestling ) started. But within a prahar ( 1/8 th part of the day ), Trikaal Bhairav was below Vikramajit's knees. Soon Vikramajit pressurized his neck with the knees and killed him, at last time his mouth was flooded with blooddetritus.

  After the fall of Trikaal Bhairav, there was a commotion in demon's army. The army which was as vast as sea, was forced to escape. The soldiers of Balishthgadh started slogans of acclamation for Vikramajit. But Ambrish's heart was full of jealousy.

  One of the soldier of Balishthgadh came in court and informed King Soochipad.

  'Yo Majesty, Prince Vikramajit has killed Trikaal Bhairav. A huge danger has been averted from the land of Balishthgadh.'

  After few time, Prince Vikramajit arrived at Balishthgadh court.

  'Thanks a lot of Prince, you are only the winner of this Swayamwar. Bring princess Chitrlekha in the court.' King Sooochipad ordered.

  When princess Chitrlekha entered in the court with garland in her hand, seeing her beauty all the other Kings and Prince were jealous of Vikramajit. Vikramajit himself was fascinated on Chitrlekha. Soon Chitrlekha came in front of Vikramajit and putted the garland in his neck, the loud echoes of slogans of acclamation spreaded all over the court. Soona special function was organized, in which both of them got married. Firstly they both went to Sage Shankracharya and touched his feet.

  'My all blessings is for you, my daughter. Prince Vikramajit, I must say you that Chitrlekha has served and loved me as like his father, she is as like my daughter. Now it's your responsibility to keep her safe, because I have to leave now for my Tapasya (austerity)'

  'Your order is my duty, O Sage. Chitrlekha is now my wife, undoubtedly her safety is my responsibility, you don't worry.' After that Chitrlekha and Vikramajit proceeded towards Vidarbh.

  On their arrival in Vidarbh, they had a grand welcome from people of Vidarbh.

  The time was passing at it's speed, but for Vikramajit and Chitrlekha this time span was appearing to be passing of moments. Soon time of one year elapsed, and Chitrlekha gave birth to a male child. The face of that child was appearing as like a light of sun, Sage Kapish named that infant 'Tejasvi'.

  'O Prince, your son will be a legendary warrior as like you, he will be the great archer, and his capability will be his identity.' Sage Kapish praised him.

  And after some time he left.

  Soon after certain period of time Kapish returned to Vikramajit and suggested 'O Prince, now the time has come, thatpeople of Balishthgadh must also see their infant prince. At last, they also have right to see him. That's why my suggestion is, that you must visit Balishthgadh with your wife Chitrlekha, so that she could meet her family members too. Regarding this kingdom,King Bhabhuti and your two brothers are there to protect this kingdom.'

  'I think you are right Gurudev. We will leave for Balishthgadh by tomorrow morning.'

  On the very next day, Vikramajit with Chitrlekha left for Balishthgadh.

  When Sage Kapish got the information that Vikramajit has left, he went out of the palace ascended on his Horse, and went towards an unknown place. After the journey of a prahar, he came near to a cave, and entered in it. Entering in the cave, he saw two people in front of him. They were none other than Markesh (The Demon King), and Ambrish 'King of Vallabhgadh'.

  'Our plan succeeded. Sage Kapish is not present in Kingdom of Vidarbh, that's why I have sent Vikramajit to Balishthgadh through my deceit. Now it's time work on our plan, Because Sage Shankracharya of Balishthgadh is also roaming in forests for his meditation (tapasya).'Saying that, the Demon's mentor Bhairavnath turned to his original form, who earlier impersonated himself as Sage Kapish.

  'Well said Gurudev, May be we could not kill Vikramajit, but now he will suffer through such a pain which will be worst for him than death. The pain through which I had suffered in past, now Vikramajit would suffer through the same pain. King Ambrish, do you remember our plan?' Demon King Markesh asked Ambrish about a plan on which they were working on.

  'Yes Yo Majesty, My aim is only and only Chitrlekha, I want her at any cost. And I can do anything for that.' Ambrish was too involved in Markesh's conspiracy.

  While on the other side a court was going on in the palace of Balishthgadh, King Soochipad and the other ministers were on their respective places. Son in law and the guest of honour Prince Vikramajit was also present in the court. Soon one guard arrived and informed King Soochipad, 'My lord, the messanger of Vidarbh is asking for permission to enter in the court.'
