Karnasubarna Kadi part 2

 The merchant Raivataka then left the palace and went back to the river to bring his necessary goods to the palace. The farmers sent Kashyap and a stick-wielding guard with him.

The merchant Raivatak, however, did not carry much goods from his Mayurpangi. He brought a bundle of clothes and two velvet Metasota bags. He gave the bundle to the staff-wielding guard, but kept the two canals to himself. Seeing that, Kashyap guessed that the merchant's wealth was in the velvet bag he kept on his chest. While talking to Raivatak on his way back to the gambling den, Kashyap came to know that Raivatak had gone to the sea to trade with the merchants of Champa city with mrignavi and cotton cloth. The voyage has paid off. Merchant Raivatak is single. The city of Kashi has much larger gardens than its white star palace on the banks of the Ganges.

This is how merchant Raivatak entered Shvettara's gambling den. Raivatak started living there while waiting for monsoon. Raivatak used to get up early in the morning to meet his people at Mayurpankhi on the banks of the river. Then he would return to Shwetara's palace before afternoon.

White Star's fears proved true within a few days. One night a group of armed men attacked there with a boat. They looted the sailors of what little personal money they had, even though there was nothing in the Mayurpankhi as a result of the trade. They used to severely beat the sailors without getting their desired wealth and the possessor of the peacock' i.e. Raivatak. Realizing that Raivatak was saved due to Shvettara's intelligence and shelter, Raivatak's trust in Shvettara increased.

And white stars? Kashyap noticed within a few days that there were more white stars. Became careful with Raivatak. Various types of sweets are bought from the sweet sellers for the sailors. Sometimes cooking with his own hands is perfect for the sailor. When Shvetara returned from the river, Raivatak also returned with his palanquin from the river bank. Does Shvettara have any agenda behind pampering Raivatak? Or the white stars fell in love with the sailor. Kashyap saves Shwettara's life one day but it goes without saying that a young Raivatak would be more attractive to a woman than a middle-aged Brahmin Kashyap. The matter gave rise to mild jealousy in Kashyap's mind, but he thought, only a few more days. When the monsoon falls, if the water in the river rises, the sailor Raivatak will float the peacock. And if Shwettara develops a love relationship with Raivatak for a moment, then Shwettara will surely not leave this gambling club and sit down in the peacock? And surely Raivatak will not stay in this country of darkness under the pull of the white star?

The day began to pass according to its own rules. Shweta Tara's gambling spree continued as usual. Monsoon fell on the first day of Asadha month.

So far Martand stopped because, suddenly, darkness fell around the man! A cloud has come and covered the moon. Looking at the sky, Martanda smiled and said, 'See how the clouds came when I talked about the monsoon! This cloud is a water cloud. Otherwise, it could not have covered the moon like that.'

Manavbabu said, 'Yes, nowadays it rains every year during Durga Puja.

Had to wait for a while for the cloud to move away from the moon. Human babies. Then the cloud moved away from the moon. The table lit up again. After playing several moves, Manabbabu said, “Take it and start again. What happened after the monsoon?'

From somewhere in the ruins, a pack of foxes rose up and announced the watch. Martand said, yes, I am saying. The real story of this ancient palace will begin now-

On the first day of Asad, it started raining in the morning and stopped by midnight. That night the gambling chat was not so lively. The next morning the sailor Raivatak returned to the palace very happy to see the condition of the river. When he met Kashyap, he said, "If it rains like this for seven more days, I will be able to float the peacock."

Hearing this, Kashyap told him, 'Yes, very good news. You must go back. You already know the environment and situation of this place. The sooner you can return the better. Maybe it will make us feel bad. But what else can be done? And Kashyap said in his mind, 'The sooner Apad goes away, the better. It was as if the white stars were a little too attracted to you.

Kashyap's assumption was not false. He noticed that after so many days, the face of Shvettara had a look of sadness instead of happiness. On this second day, it started raining again from the afternoon. It rained so much that not a single gambler attended the gambling den that day. Kashyap has to spend other nights awake. When the gamblers returned on the last night, Kashyap fell asleep. At two o'clock he wakes up and goes to explain the previous day's account to Shvettara. His day begins with this work. Kashyap's heart was very happy with the news of rains coming down and Raivatak going back. After many days he went to sleep at night. The sound of the rain coming from outside and the sound of the bell brought sleep to Kashyap's eyes.

Towards the end of the night, Kashyap had a strange dream. He first saw a wet white woman lying before him on the bank of the river. His body is blooming. His deep, bottomless navel is peeking out from behind the wetness. the rain The navel is absorbing the drops. A couple of shapely breasts and her nipples like a jewel are looking at Kashyap. Two smooth thighs that looked like Kadali trunks went and merged into Shvetara's reservoir of eternal youth.

Kashyap in his sleep but did not try to regain consciousness of Shwettara. He looked at her body. Kashyap's body started getting excited. The fire of lust began to spread in his blood. Kashyap could not bear the fire one more time. He rose to embrace Shvettara. But suddenly there was darkness all around, and then another fire was lit. Kashyap saw that the white stars had disappeared in front of him, and a pyre was burning a little away from him! And in that pyre, the body of the Brahmin, who has no wife and son, is sitting with his burning body. Looking at Kashyap, he says, “You have fallen. You will never be freed from this hell. There will be no release, there will be no release.

Kashyap woke up after seeing the dream so far. It's morning. The clouds have moved, the rain has stopped for now. After waking up, Kashyap thought about that strange dream for a long time. Then he turned his attention to his work. No gambler had come the previous day but an old account remained. After Shwetara returned from her bath, Kashyap reached Shwetara's room with the bag of coins and the account.

Kashyap poured the coins from the bag onto the mat on the ground and sat facing Shwetara. Shvetara has just finished bathing. Even then, drops of water are dripping down the hairline of his hair. There is a kind of sadness on Shvetara's face. White stars are counting money, but he seems to have a different mind. Maybe the merchant is going back to the country now, he is really upset. And then suddenly he noticed something strange. Shvettara's nimanga material rises well above the knee on one side. Milk white smooth thighs are almost fully visible in front of Kashyap's eyes. Even the faintest glimpse of Shvetara's most private part seemed to melt into the gaps of her current clothing. White stars have never deliberately exposed Kashyap's body before.

Kashyap realizes that the incident happened due to Shwettara's carelessness. Kashyap remembered the body of Shvettara he saw on the first day, last night. Kashyap couldn't take his eyes off Shwetara's exposed thighs. Kashyap's primordial desire for Ripa began to spread in his veins. Durbar's urge to do something possessed him. Was Kashyap's hand going to touch the white star's buttery thighs without his knowledge? Kashyap doesn't know about it. But suddenly Shwetara then with a jerk covered her thighs with a piece of cloth and said, I have finished counting the coins.'

Hearing this, Sambit got back and Kashyap was shocked and looked at Shwettara. White Star's face is serious. Kashyap realizes that he has been caught by Shwettara. Kashyap left Shwettara's room as the account was settled. On that day, after two o'clock, the sky started to be covered with dark clouds like the previous day. Then it rained. It is true that two or five gamblers came to hangout due to gambling addiction, but they returned after playing only a few bets due to increasing natural disasters.

The sky is broken. The lamp went out in Shvettara's palace. Kashyap slept in his room. But when Kashyap woke up from his sleep, only those dirty thighs of Shwetara began to float in front of his eyes, and even deeper the call of Shwetara's private secret place. Kashyap felt that at any cost he had to touch Shwetara's thighs, he had to get, he had to have Shwetara's body. Otherwise Kashyap's male birth is in vain.

The next morning when Kashyap got out of bed, Varundev calmed down after the overnight rain. This has been happening everyday for the past few days. The sky is clear from morning to noon. Then the sky is occupied by a group of clouds filled with water. As a result of continuous rain for several days, a kind of weather has been created inside Khettara's house. In order to get rid of him, Kashyap stood in the sunlight outside Deuri around noon. But his dream is not cut at all. In no time he saw Raivatak coming from the direction of the river. Every morning he goes to see the water of the river. The merchant Raivatak came in front of Kashyap and said with a smile, 'The water of the river is rising.

My peacock nose began to tremble gently. The silt at the bottom of the river has started to fall due to water flow. And if it rains like that for two nights, my boat will float. I will start the journey.”

Kashyap said, 'I pray to Lord Vishnu, I pray to Lord Varundev to fulfill your desires. Hearing Kashyap's words, before entering the palace, Raivatak said, 'I think that the Brahmin's words will bear fruit.'

Kashyap was mildly shocked when the merchant Raivatak meant Kashyap by saying 'Brahmin'. He suddenly remembered the old Brahmin! He said that Kashyap, who had cursed Kashyap in the moment before his death, would not be released. Kashyap's heart became a little bitter as he remembered the words. Is it really the curse of a devout Brahmin? Kashyap started thinking about this.

Standing in the heat of the sun for a long time, Kashyap began to sweat. He was about to re-enter the barn when he heard the sound of horse hooves. Who is running towards the palace on horseback. Kashyap stopped hearing the sound. In no time, five men appeared in front of the White Star Palace on horseback. Their bodies are covered in leather armor. A sword or kirich is tied around one's waist, or held in one's hand. A man, who seems to be the leader of the cavalry. Dark complexion, jaw The bone is quite high, there is a cut on the forehead. He keenly observed Kashyap from the horse and said in a hoarse voice, 'We are the servants of the Lord. Where are the white stars?”

Kashyap replied that he was busy with his work. What is the application?

The man said, 'There is a need. The Lord gave a letter to him. You can also say letters, you can also say instructions.' Saying this, the man smiled slyly and took out a palm-leaf from his girdle. While extending the letter to Kashyap, he said, 'You are the Brahmin who works as a keeper, right? What is your name?'

Taking the letter in his hand, he said, 'Yes, I am that Kashyap.'

The man smiled and said, “The letter is very important. Go give it to your sweetheart now.

Tell him the chicken has brought this letter. If you don't follow the royal order, there will be danger.'

Hearing the man's words, his companions laughed together. The man left with his companions without giving Kashyap a chance to speak.

Kashyap saw the chicken run away from the palace in a bloody state. He never saw the chick after that first day. So she didn't recognize him at first sight. After knowing his identity, Kashyap remembered that there was a cut on the forehead of the leader of merchant Raivatak's Peacock who carried out the robbery. But did Lord Shen send his servant Kukkut to plunder the peacock?

The horse's voice disappeared. Kashyap entered Deuri and proceeded towards Shwettara's room.

The Whites then started preparing to go for a bath in the river. Kashyap went to his doorknob and opened the door and was surprised to see Kashyap at this time. He handed the palm leaf to Shvettara and said, "That chicken came from Prabhu Shone." He has passed this letter.'

Hearing the name of the hen, Shwetara said 'That palmer, smuggler hen. Whom I drove away with a lamp-stick?”

Kashyap replied, 'Yes, he came. He has a dry cut on his forehead.' Hearing this, Shwetara opened the bundle of palm leaves tied with thread and started reading it silently. Kashyap noticed that while reading the letter, a look of apprehension came over his face. After reading the letter, he folded it up again and silently looked at the window. Noticing the look of worry on Shvettara's face, Kashyap hesitantly asked, 'What is written in the letter?'

White stars replied 'After two nights i.e. after sunset King Shon will send Kukkut as his representative to gamble here with me or one of my representatives. He also fixed the gambling conditions.

"What conditions?" Kashyap asked.

White Star said thoughtfully, 'If the chicken is defeated, I will get only one hundred silver coins. And if I am defeated, this palace, the gambling den must be handed over to the royal representative, Kukkut. The letter said that on that day, the entry of other gamblers or the presence of guards in the palace is prohibited."

Hearing Shwettara's words, Kashyap said, 'But looking at the conditions, it seems that Shane wants to take over this gambling den. I did not know that the chicken had gone to the shelter of Lord Sen. That must have prompted Shone. I have been sending Shon his love letters regularly for so long. Why would he suddenly send chicks to gamble to embarrass me? That scar on the chicken's forehead was caused by my injury. Perhaps the chicken attacked the peacock. Kashyap also assumed that there was something wrong with this letter of Raja Shone. The chick might somehow want to avenge her injury on White Star. There was a glimpse of something like that on the chick's face. Shwetara then said to Kashyap, 'Okay you go now. Tell the Palki Beharas that I will not go to Bhagirathi today.'

Kashyap returned to his room from Swetvara's room. He began to wonder if Prabhu Shon really has the intention of taking over this gambling den.

Shwetara and Kashyap, both guessed right. Within a few days after the Whites were enraged by the behavior of the Cuckoo and chased it away with a lamp-stick, the Cuckoo appeared to Prabhu Shon through a known gambler. King Shen has an army of his own. Whose work is banditry, assassination, looting. They deposit a large portion of the loot in the treasury. They also abduct women to please Lord Shen. Brahmins, Shudras, there is no difference in marriage. Only beautiful women. For men, the female body is only a receptacle for intercourse. There is no caste in the female body.

Kukkut was the first to go and join the looting army of Prabhu Shone. He noticed that the Lord was more pleased with a beautiful young woman than with money. And noticing the matter, for several years, the hen abducted virgin, young beautiful women and handed them over to Prabhu Shon. And besides, there is looted money. The chicken has become a vessel of great faith to listen to the Lord. And at the same time the chicken harbored a strong hatred for the white star. His hatred for Hetvara was increasing.

By attacking merchant Raivatak's peacock, the chick got almost nothing. Through Char, he came to know that Raivatak, a merchant who owned peacocks, was safe in the gambling den of Shwettara. When no tradeable wealth was found in Mayurapankhi, the merchant must have taken his wealth of gold coins or precious gems and taken up residence in Shvettara's palace. The chicken had no difficulty in understanding this matter. When he and his companions attacked the Peacock, one of the sailors exclaimed in horror that Cham Or trading with the townspeople, the merchant collected some precious gems from them in exchange for mrignavi.

The hen became angry with Shwettara as the food in her mouth went to Shwettara's prasad. Moreover, his old insult towards Shvetara is burning. He went to his master and explained that the sailor was staying in the palace of White Star with a lot of wealth. And Shvettar's gambling den also needs to be taken over. Many treasures are hidden near the White Star. Shvetara has been earning a lot of gold coins, diamonds, jewelry for a long time. Kukkut was fully aware of this matter as he was the keeper of Shvettara's Kadi. He himself handed over a lot of wealth received from gamblers to Shvetara. The oblation that the white stars send to the Lord is only a fraction of the Theta star's earnings. The Whites must take possession of his palace before he ever abandons Karnasubarna with his wealth.

At first, King Shon was mildly hesitant about Kukut's proposal. White stars regularly give money to Lord Shen. But when Shon then heard from Cuckoo that after taking over Shvetara's gambling den, he was capable of managing it and that he would pay the Lord three times as much as Shvetara, then Shon agreed to the cunning hen's proposal. King Shen entrusted the execution of the plan to Kukkut. But he warned him to see that the other gambling den owners did not flee the kingdom for fear that the capture of Shvetara's palace might lead to their capture.'

The chicken said, 'That won't happen. I will go there to gamble as your representative. I was not only the keeper of the white star, but I also had a hand in gambling. Only you will fix the betting conditions to the white stars. It will say that if the white stars are defeated, he will leave the palace.'

Hearing this, Prabhu Shen said, 'But I have heard that white people never lose at gambling?'

The chicken said 'That's why I want to go play. Whites don't seem to want to play with me. White stars do not give their own links to anyone else. If he chooses someone else to play instead of playing with me, I think I can beat him. And, whoever the white star or his representative plays, I will eventually take over the palace if I am defeated. The owners of the other gambling dens will be told that the palace has been taken over by force because the whites won't leave the palace after losing the gambling bet.'—Saying these words, Martand said, 'What I said behind Kukkut Kadi's coming to gamble is just a guess. Otherwise Prabhu Shon could have taken possession of the palace by sending troops.

Manabbabu said, 'Well, it could be that the chicken wanted to play with him a little before ousting Shvettara from the palace, just as Marger playfully killed him before killing the trapped mouse, to avenge his insult?'

After listening to Manabbabu, Brahmin Martand looked at his face for a few moments and said 'Bah. This has never occurred to me before! How did you come up with it?”

Manavbabu said, 'Listening to your story, I feel as if I have reached that time. I know this story! Manavbabu did not tell a lie. I know why he seems to know this story.

Of course, sometimes unknown stories are familiar to people.

Brahmin Martanda looked at the table of Kari in silence. Then Manavbabu played a kadi in a move. Manavbabu also swallowed a bite of Martandar in response. The game has been going on for a long time. Both have eaten many bites of the opponent. There are only four links in the chart. Sometimes the light is fading. Fragments of clouds float over the surface of the moon and accumulate in a corner of the sky. Manavbabu looked at it and said 'Will it rain or not?' Hearing this, Martand said, 'Maybe. The game ended. To end my story-

Shvetara did not go to bath that day. Kashyap also came back to his room. Just like the last few days, the sky started to be covered with clouds from the afternoon. Then it started raining before evening. As if Varundev had done it right, he would float the merchant Raivatak's peacock. No one has ever seen such rain. The sky is falling! And with it the gust of wind. The lamp cannot be lit. Even that day, not a single gambler came to the gambling den of Shvettara, which was immersed in darkness. The Whites also did not leave their rooms.

Lying in bed at night, like the previous day, Kashyap began to think of Shwetara's exposed thighs, her nipples protruding from behind her wet clothes on the river bank. It's been several years since Kashyap spent in Shwettara's palace, but Kashyap never felt such strong attraction towards Shwettara's body. He is going crazy to get Shvettara's body. However, Kashap spent the whole night thinking about Shwetara's body, sometimes awake and sometimes drowsy. The light of the morning dawned once. But Kashyap left his room after some time. Like the previous day, he went out of the hut and stood to take the heat of the sun. Kashyap started thinking about the idea of ​​coming to gamble with the chicken. He must be angry with the chicken. The Whites chased away Kukkuta and replaced Kasyapa in his place. No disaster will fall on Kashyap? After entering Karnasubarna, Kashyap has become a part of this palace of Shwettara. If any calamity befalls Shwettara, it will fall on Kashyap.

Kashyap was thinking about many things. Just like the previous day, he suddenly saw the Raivatak coming from the direction of the river. His eyes and face are very bright. Before entering the temple, he stopped for a while and said to Kashyap, “Come, the words of the Brahmin have finally come true. The peacock has floated. no worries If you lift the sail and raise the anchor, it will float away.'

Kashyap heard him and said, 'May your journey be auspicious.'

Kashyap came back to the room after standing outside the deuri for a long time with the sun shining on his body.

Kashyap no longer needed to explain daily accounts to Shwettara. But at two o'clock someone informed that the white stars were calling him. Kashyap was mildly surprised and appeared in front of Shwetara's room and saw Shwetara standing in front of the door. Even today he did not go to the river. Shwetara took Kashyap inside his room and removed the nail from inside. Shwetara and Kashyap sat face to face.

Shvetara looked at Kashyap for some time and said, 'Listen Kashyap, I have no doubt that there is a problem in the heart of the chicken. He is very angry with me. Sitting together to play can cause problems. If the king disobeys Shone's order again, terrible danger may come.

Kashyap said, "But what will you do?"

In response to Kashyap's words, Hetara said, 'I want you to sit down to play gambling with the chicken for me.'

'Shall I play?' Kashyap said in surprise.

'Yes, you,' said Shvetara calmly. Already in these few years you have become quite skilled in card gambling. Besides, I will give you my card. You will sit in my playroom and play with my chickens. This link never fails. Only when you play will you play with black cards. Will give the opponent a white collar.' Kashyap was more surprised to hear his words and said, 'You will give me your rope! Where do you go with the link? '

Shvetara said, 'I will leave the palace and take refuge in the Mayurapangi of the merchant Raivatak. There is an underground tunnel from this palace to the river bank. Just before the start of the game, I'll reach the river bank in the tunnel and climb into Nao. At the end of the game if you win then understand the situation and go to that tunnel to meet me. And if for some reason I am defeated, I will give the palace to the chicken and meet me on the way. I have consulted with the merchant. He will deliver us to a safe harbor beyond the borders of Karnasubarna.'

Kashyap said, 'But it also happened that whether I lost or won in gambling, the hen imprisoned or killed me?'

White Tara said, “I think after taking possession of the palace, Kukkut will first try to find out where the treasures are. he is greedy The chicken will try to separate a part of it without handing it over to Lord Shona. But he will not get them. Before then I will remove them to the merchant's peacock. But I am not dismissing your fears either. You have to take that risk. But remember that if you take part in the game of gambling with the chicken, whatever the outcome, the reward you will get when you return to me is not what many rich people in this Karnasubarna have wished for. Even the King Shen will not get it.' 'What reward?' Kashyap asked.

Shwetara surprised Kashyap by remaining silent for a while and said, 'This is my body. Kashyap can't believe his ears. He said, 'Tell me again, what did you say?'

White Star said, 'You heard right. I know you desire me very much. The look in your eyes says that. If you keep my request you will get this body. It may be that after the chicken is defeated, King Shon accepts defeat, we return to this palace, the gambling den resumes, but in that case the palace and half of the income will be yours. Think Kashyap, it is not possible for a Brahmin like you to get so much. You can not take a risk to get so much Kashyap? One day you take a bigger risk than this You jumped into the water to save me from Bhagirathi's whirlpool.'

Being a partner in Shwettara's palace was not a big deal for Kashyap. Kashyap never had a great greed for wealth. But the body of Hettara? The body that Kashyap has been desiring day and night. In front of the body that is sitting. Kashyap can touch the body only by taking a risk. In the end, Kashyap could not refuse Shwettara's call. 'Yes, I will sit down to gamble with the chicken,' his eagerness told him.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Shvetara's face. He said, 'I knew you would agree to my proposal. I will keep talking. Now we have to do some urgent work. For that, everyone needs to be removed from the palace today. Whether it rains or not, there will be no gambling today or tomorrow. I'll show you the tunnel first.'

After saying this Shwetara opened the door and went out with Kashyap and came to this very place i.e. the room where Hettara used to gamble. Right in the middle of that great room is this gambling table of white stars carved on the floor. Shvetara showed Kashyap the secret way to enter the tunnel. Kashyap was quite surprised to see this. Kashyap has entered Shwetvara's gambling room many times. But he never thought that there could be a tunnel in this room! After showing the secret path, the white stars said, 'If the chicken wins the game, he will surely run first to my bedchamber to loot my chest. You will use that opportunity to escape. Regardless of the outcome of the game you will force the chick to leave this room. And if the hen shuts you up in this room and goes in search of treasure in my bedroom or elsewhere in the palace, it will be easier for you to escape.

Seeing the tunnel and hearing Shwetara's words, Kashyap felt that escape might not be as difficult as it seemed. Kashyap's anxiety disappeared.

After showing the song to Kashyap, Shwetara left the room and started preparing for another task. First, he asked everyone in his palace to pay their dues in one place, specifically because they had to leave the palace before sunset. After three days, let them come back to the palace. Gambling chat will be closed for the time being. He was surprised to hear this but did not dare to ask Shwetvara why. Many were happy again. Because, holidays do not match them. Only one man was posted outside Deuri to convey the news to the gamblers.

By afternoon, Shvettara Palace was empty. White stars closed the front door with their own hands. The first thing Shwetara did after that was to call Kashyap and hand over his kadi to him. Kashyap felt quite a thrill taking the bhao in his hand. This is the link. People say this kadi or mantraputah. No one ever loses when playing with this card. You only have to keep the black link on yourself. Shvettara's pot is the reservoir of all his wealth! - After hearing this, Manabbabu laughed and said, 'I understand that you are playing black cards with me with white cards.

Martanda smiled gently and said, 'Maybe so. Who doesn't want to win? I want to see if the white star's link still has that strange power after thousands of years?” Responding to Manabbabu's words, Martand went back to his story—

Handing over the reins to Kashyap, Shvetara began his real work. The merchant 'Raivatak' was also summoned. Along with Kashyap and Raivatak, Shvettara collected various gold ornaments, diamonds and precious gems from various secret places of the palace and started depositing them in a room. Seeing his wealth, Kashyap and even the rich Raivatak were greatly surprised. Raivatak himself had never seen such wealth. Whitestar's lifetime wealth collected from gambling dens. Before collecting the ornaments in one place, the precious stones were separated from them and placed in a bag. Then Shvettara brought a special pot. It includes 'very acidic'. By the touch of which gold, silver, iron any metal melts. If one drop of that 'vehement acid' is placed on a person's head, it will boil over his body and reach the ground, such is his brilliance. Shvetara knew the method of melting gold. Outside, it started raining heavily. Shwetara sat down to melt gold with two companions. By the time work was over, it was midnight. Several golden spheres were formed. They were also kept in another bag. The next morning they will be left in Mayurpankhi.

After finishing work, they went back to each other's bedroom. Kashyap went to bed, but he couldn't sleep. Excitement gripped him. What will happen to the next day in gambling with the chicken? In the end, you will get the white star's body? Lying on the bed, Kashyap started shaking with excitement. At one point he thought that going out for a little walk might ease his tension. Kashyap left the bed thinking this and came out.

Nijhum night, silent palace. While walking, Kashyap unknowingly reached the guest house of the merchant Raivatak. Suddenly he saw a shadowy figure coming from the direction of Shvetara's bedroom. Yes, that's Tetara. Where are the white stars going? Kashyap came and stood behind a pillar. Swetabhara did not notice Kashyap in the darkness. He came straight into Raivatak's room. There was a faint sound. And hearing that sound, Kashyap understood and entered the room and closed the door.

But that night the white stars entered the merchant's room Ray closed the door why? But have the whites come to indulge in intercourse with the merchant? Or come to do some secret? At the moment there is no one else in the palace except the three of them. What is the meaning of closing the door but to hide themselves from Kashyap? Seeing the matter, great curiosity arose in Kashyap's mind. Merger walked quietly and appeared in front of the room. Then close the ear to the door. He overheard the conversation between Shwetara and the merchant—

The merchant Raivatak says, 'Why did you hand over those precious bracelets of yours to Kashyap? Guess if the chicken snatches that link from Kashyap. The chicken must know the power of that link. What if he recognized the links?”

The white stars smiled softly after hearing Raivatak's words. Then he said, 'I will never give this card to anyone, I can't give it to anyone. I have made such a big palace from a small parna cottage with those links. I have accumulated so much wealth that I can build a hundred more such palaces. The kadi I gave to Kashyap is not the original kadi. Another link looks exactly the same. But it is not supposed to know the chicken's beak. And Kadi never showed him.'

The merchant said, "But where are the real links?"

White stars said, 'It is in the right place. In the niche behind the tree trunk in my bedroom. I always worship that idol. When I leave the palace tomorrow, I will carry the small bag of curry from the niche in my chest. If Kashyap wins the game of chicken and kashyap, if the situation is normal, then I will come back to this palace and start chat. And if the situation is not favorable, I will float with you and open gambling chat again with those links. It won't take long for my business to flourish thanks to that link.

Then several more discussions took place between them. At last Raivatak once said, 'Let's see what happens tomorrow. There is no point in wasting the rest of the night worrying unnecessarily. Come let's enjoy the night.'

After listening to the conversation between Shwetara and the merchant, Kashyap stood silent for a while, stunned. Then he set his duty. Kashyap spent the whole night awake.

The sun rose once. Dawn came. The rain stopped last night. The sun shines on the white star palace near Bhagirathi in the ancient city of Karnasuvarna. Shortly after daylight the three of them set off for the river with all of White Star's wealth. The merchant Raivatak will not return, he will remain in his peacock. So he also took his wealth with him.

They reached the river bank. Bhagirathi regained her life after days of torrential rains. She has become full of youth. Char is washed away and the stream flows. Peacock swaying to the rhythm of the stream. Sailing may not even be necessary. As soon as the anchor is raised, the peacock will run loose. A man with a small canoe was waiting on the bank for the merchant Raivatak. Pressing that canoe, the three of them went to the merchant's boat. Quite a large peacock. Raivatak said to his companions, 'We may have to start the journey tonight, start preparations.

At Adhikari's direction, his attendants, some set about fixing the sails, tying the ropes. The sailor took Shvetara with her possessions to her bedroom. Gold bars, diamond jewels will be kept in the chest there. Before they went there, Kashyap said, 'I have never climbed a peacock. I will visit the peacock once.'

'Yes, see, I have no objection,' said the merchant Raivatak with a smile, or perhaps he smiled to himself, 'Yes, look, you will never see again.' Kashyap may have laughed in his heart after getting the consent of the merchant. Raivatak went to his room with Shwetara. And Kashyap also started walking around. After seeing the top, Kashyap came down in the peacock's shell. There is no one else there. Everyone is busy working upstairs. huge shell Its lower part i.e. the part floating on the water is wrapped in iron sheets. Peacocks go to trade with this opening. Many products are still packed in chaat sacks on the iron-covered floor. Saral Kashyap once sacked him. In a while, Kashyap fixed the sack again and came up from the shell. White stars streamed out of the sailor's room as the sun rose overhead. The canoe then brought Shwetara and Kashyap to the shore. The two of them returned to the palace. Martand stopped saying this.

There is a gurgling sound. Clouds have started calling in the sky. The moon is fading.

Manabbabu said, "I am watching the rain that will fall. That should be read up.” Martanda said, 'Stand a little longer. The game is over. And my story is almost over.'- Martand gave a move saying these words. Manavbabu also gave rice. Both of them quickly swallowed each other's bite with several moves. Only Manabbabu's white kali and Martandar's black kali remained on the table. Yes, it's not too late to decide the game. Both focused on the gambling table. Both of them started giving rice for the last bit of food. And with that Martanda began the final part of his story.Back at the palace, Kashyap and Shwetara both went back to their own rooms to rest. No one allowed anyone to understand their thoughts. Time moved towards afternoon. It rained in the afternoon. Shwetara and Kashyap came out of their rooms before sunset. They waited for the chicks to arrive. Just as darkness fell, as expected, voices were heard outside the dewari. Then someone knocked on the front door. Kashyap opened the front door with a torch. White stars behind him. The chicken is standing in front of the arch. Two more with him No people. One of them holds a palm frond on the chicken's head. The people are armed. A sword hangs from his belt. The hen ventured to enter the palace with her companions. But the white stars said, 'Lord Shen's letter says only that you come to gamble. Surely you know that none but gamblers are allowed to enter the palace?'

Hearing Shvetvara's words, a crooked smile appeared at the corners of the cunning hen's lips. He said, 'Well, it will be. Signaling his companions to stop, the chick entered the cage alone. At that time, when the leather bag in his hand rang, both Kashyap and Shwetara assumed that Baji had brought the chicken with the one hundred silver coins. After he entered inside, Kashyap removed the door lock from inside. The white star then said to the hen, 'Listen, hen, I will not sit down to gamble with you. As you have come to play as the representative of Lord Shen, so this Brahmin Kashyap will play as my representative.'

The chick was rightly surprised to hear White Star, but she didn't protest. Because he thought playing with Kashyap would increase his chances of winning. Kashyap will not play with Shwetara's rope. Shvetara does not allow anyone to touch Kadi for fear of losing quality. The chick was happy to hear that she had to play with Kashyap. He said to Kashyap, 'Yes, let's play.' Hetara said to Kukkut, wait here with Kashyap for a little while, then come. I will light the lights in the room. Then come.' Saying these words, Shvettara went towards the palace.

Within some time, Kashyap appeared in that room with Kukkut. Hetara is not there then. Turning on the light, he disappeared into the tunnel from this room. The tunnel mouth can be closed again by going down. No one can understand the location of the tunnel from above. The room is lit by the light of several torches attached to the wall. Right in the middle of it is this gambling table of white stars carved into the floor. There are two silk seats on either side of it. The pot of curry is also kept there. Kashyap had already brought it there. And without delay, Kashyap and Kukkut took seats on either side of the table. Yes, exactly as we are on both sides of this table...

Martand stopped for a moment. The clouds are calling. Manabbabu felt a drop of water fall on his neck. It started raining! Looking at the chart, Martand started again—

The game started with arranging the cards. Time went on. Kashyap and Kukkut became engrossed in playing Kardi while sitting in this room in a secluded palace. Both players are seasoned. The game was normally in his favor at first. A smile appeared on the cunning lips of the chicken. But after that the game started to turn. Kashyap played several chicken's white kadi topped with black kadi. He felt as if he was not giving rice himself. The black links are giving rice to him! The chicken's white feathers began to fade. At the second watch of the night, when the fox called, Kashyap ate the last morsel of the chicken and joined the game.

The surprised chick looked at Kashyap in shock for a long time. Kashyap thought that the chicken might get angry and attack him. But the chicken did not do much at that moment. He stood towards Kashyap with the bag of coins and said, let's open the front door. I will return now.' Jumping up, Kashyap left the room with the chicken and came to the front door. After opening the door, the chick mounted her horse and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Did the chicken admit defeat?

 After the chicken left, Kashyap quickly returned to the gambling room after closing the door. The cards came out in full and left them in a hidden hole in the palace wall and returned to the gambling room. Leaving the mouth of the tunnel, he went down the tunnel with a torch and headed towards the river.

Damp tunnel. As a result of heavy rains for several days, the water from above is seeping down on the roof and walls. He saw the footprints of Shvettara on the wet ground. Following those footsteps, Kashyap once came up to the river bank. But Kashyap was quite disappointed when he came out. Merchant Raivatak's peacock is not there. He is supposed to be standing in the water. But the matter was caught in someone's eyes? The place is repaired and the peacock is floating in the river?

After hearing about the Brahmin Martanda so far, he kept his eyes on Manabbabu's table and said, "What are you talking about getting caught?"

Martanda said, “Having heard Shwetara and Vanik Raivatak the previous night, Kashyap assumed that Shwettara and Raivatak might leave him. So Kashyap made a trick in Mayurapankhi. While going to Mayurpankhi with Shvetara and Raivatak, he secretly took with him the 'strong acid' to melt metal. He poured a few drops of it on the floor of the shell. He thought that the water would gradually enter through the holes in the shell and the peacock would become heavy and stuck. A peacock may not sink but it cannot float in water either.

Kashyap was very disappointed not to see the peacock. He decided the next duty. Going back to the palace and assessing the situation, he will stay in the palace or escape from the palace through the tunnel with a pot of curry and a bag of coins. Thinking about this, he entered the tunnel again. Water started pooling on the floor of the tunnel. After crossing that muddy tunnel, Kashyap came again to the palace of Shvettara. Kashyap came out of the tunnel to the gambling room. The chicken coin pouch was there. Picking it up, he was going out to get the pot of curry As time went on, he heard the front door crash and the violent screams of many people. Kukkut appeared with his entourage. As soon as he understood the matter, Kashyap entered the tunnel again. He pulled his face too. Hearing various sounds coming from above, Kashyap could guess that Kukkut's army is destroying Shwetara's palace. Once the chicken, unable to find any valuables, set fire to the eaves of the roof without finding either Shvetara or Kashyap. Kashyap tried to escape through the tunnel, but he could not escape. Shvettara's palace collapsed in a rush to set fire to Karibarga. And in that impact, a part of the tunnel also collapsed. Both the top and bottom lanes were closed. Kashyap could not go out. The words of that old Brahmin came true. Kashyap was stuck here for ages. He was never released. Kashyap and these links were buried behind the pile of destruction.

- After saying this, Martand happily said after eating the last link of Manabbabu in a perfect move, 'There! Yes! The quality of Shvettara Kadi has not lost even after thousands of years. So I won.

Manbabu said, "These links are not the links of Shvettara in that sense. The white stars took his links with them.'

Martanda said, 'No, these are the original links of Shwetara. The Whites could not take away his links. On the night before the game with the chicken, Kashyap, after hearing Shwetara and Raivatak's talk, did another act secretly. With the bracelets given to him by Shvettara, he entered Shvettara's room and took the original bracelets from Shvettara's bag and left the bracelets given by Shvettara there. The next day, Kashyap won because he was playing with the real links of Shwettara with Kukut. Hetara climbed the peacock with fake links.'

It really started to rain now. The thunder of the clouds with him. The rings were filled, and Martanda stood up with the ancient coin. Manavbabu also stood up. You have to enter the shelter like a house. Otherwise, both will get wet. Manabbabu said, 'I like your words very much. What happened to the white star at the end? Did she live with the merchant Raivatak?'

Martanda said, 'No, neither he nor the merchant could return anywhere else. That 'severe acid' had pierced the bottom of the boat. For whatever reason, not much water got through the opening in the first place. But as soon as the peacock floats in the stream, the water enters and opens. Then the shell bursts under water pressure. Matpesi was buried with Shvetara and Raivataka before crossing the borders of Karnasuvarna amid heavy rains.

Manabbabu said, 'I liked your story. But where did you read this story? Knowing the source may benefit my work in the future.' Hearing the question, Martand stood up and said, 'Why should I read or listen?

This is my life story.' Manavbabu was surprised to hear this strange thing and said, 'What does this mean?'

A smile appeared at the corner of Martandara's lips in the half-darkness. He said, yes, this is my life story. Nothing in the story is false. My full name is Martanda Kashyap. My gotra is Kashyap. In those days Brahmins were addressed by gotra in Karnasubarna. That is why I also used the word "Kashyap" as a name in my speech.

Hearing this, Manabbabu said, 'What are you talking about! Was your tobacco stick laced with drugs? Let's go inside quickly. getting wet

Marta also did not respond to these words. Suddenly turned back to look around and said, 'He is coming! White stars are coming to take back his links after a thousand years. I can hear his footsteps.' Manavbabu unknowingly said, 'Are you crazy?'

But just then Martanda raised his finger and said, 'That's the white star coming.'

Looking at the direction Martand pointed his finger at, Manabbabu was surprised. Indeed, a shadow figure is emerging from behind the rubble in the heavy rain — the figure of a woman!

Manavbabu looked at him. The female figure came and stood at the place where the Kari table was drawn, the very place where Manabbabu had been sitting and playing with Martanda for so long. Martand saw him and said, you have come Shvetara! How many births have I been waiting for you. I knew that Karnasubarna's Kadi would bring you back here again.'—Saying this, Martanda Kashyap started towards him with the pot of Kadi. And the female figure stretched out one of her hands forward, perhaps to take back the cauldron. And just at that moment, the sky was torn apart by successive lightning strikes and shook with the thunderous roar of the four directions. Moreover Manabbabu clearly saw the very beautiful young woman in shock. The hair of the head is tied in a knot, the satnari necklace is around the neck, the bracelet is on the arm, and the stool is on the foot. A white cloth draped from the chest to the knees. Just like an apsara from the distant past. From within her moist bosom bulges shapely breasts, navels. The rain is falling down the smooth thighs like the trunk of the Kadali. The image of sex is a woman!

Martanda went and stood in front of that beautiful woman. Muhumuhu ear-splitting thunder around! This light is becoming all around, the absolute darkness is descending in the very moment. There are two idols facing each other. It was as if they had been waiting for this union for thousands of years.

In the midst of heavy rain and lightning, the two idols finally embraced each other. They stood like that for a few moments. Like petrified twin statues. Water is running down their bodies. But then suddenly Martand shouted, 'Look, it looks like the chicken is coming to catch us with its companions. White stars we must escape!'

Manabbabu now noticed the matter. Across the dark field, the point of light is really coming towards the palace of the white star. Manavbabu was shocked! Indeed, after many centuries of sleep, this Karnasuvarna, surrounded by darkness, has woken up. Are those points of light the king's army? Coming to catch Martand and Shvetara? Gradually approaching the light points! Manavbabu got a strong fear.

And then a strange thing happened. A blue light flame descended from the sky on the twin idols. Covering them, the pillar of light began to rot. Martand and Shwetara disappeared in that light pillar. And after that, the pillar of light disappeared into the ground with both of them. The ground beneath Manavbabu's feet shook with the thunderous roar, the ancient ruins scattered around. But the points of light are still coming. Rise from the darkness of the past Will the violent forces that came not to find Martand and Shwetara leave the man? Terrified, Manabbabu stumbled through the heavy rain to his walled, thatched-roof shelter. Manavbabu finally entered there. The oil lamp is still burning. The light gave gentle hope to the man. But a muffled noise came to Manabbabu's ears from outside. They have come!

The people came in front of Manabbabu's house. Fifteen people. After stopping for a while on the bike, two or three people entered Manabbabu's room. Manavbabu is sitting on the camp cot. Noticing the look of panic on his face, one said, 'Don't be afraid, sir. We have come to find one.'

Manavbabu heard the words and looked at the people. No, they are not residents of the dark world of ancient Karnasubarna, but local villagers. Manabbabu also recognized the man who spoke. He once gave the man the job of digging the soil here. People have torches. But he saw the lights of these torches coming forward. When he understood the matter, he became mildly concerned and asked, 'Whom have you come to find?'

The man replied, 'A middle-aged man sir. Tiki in the head, to get in the throat. Sanskrit scholar of our village school. Name Madhusudan Vidyavinod.' Hearing this, Manabbabu said, 'Yes, such a person came, but he said his name, 'Martand - Martand Kashyap.'

Hearing Manabbabu, a villager said, 'He came here. But we guessed right. The scholar's head is completely gone. Yes, now he identifies himself by that name – Martand Kashyap. Manavbabu asked, 'Is the gentleman sick?'

The man said, 'Sick means a mess in the head. He probably has no relatives. He came to work in the village school five years ago. innocent people He used to come here sometimes to visit in the afternoon. But one day suddenly I know why his head went wrong. He started saying his name is Martand Kashyap! He came to Karnasubarna a thousand years ago, there was a palace here where he lived. Sometimes he used to come here and never wanted to return home. Even after seeing the doctor, his head did not go well. If the madness increases more, we lock him in the house because there will be some danger. For a few days his head is getting worse again. Since this morning Pandit Mashai was shouting, "Kadi has been found! Link found. I have to go to the palace”. says So I locked him in the house. But how did he go out and open the door after dusk. He has no one. Innocent gentle people. Everyone in the village loves Pandit Mashai. So I went out to find him even with this monsoon in mind.'

Manavbabu was quite surprised to hear the man's words. After saying the words continuously, the man wanted to know, 'Do you know where Pandit Mashai is now?'

Manabbabur kept quiet and replied, until a little while ago he was talking to me outside, then suddenly I did not understand where he disappeared.' Manabbabu could not understand whether it was right to tell the people what he had seen. Maybe the scene he saw was all his imagination. If he told the words of the villagers, they might think him crazy. Maybe after telling him the story, the handsome man disappeared somewhere with a pot of curry.

Hearing Manabbabu, a man said to his companions, 'Let's go and look for him. He seems to be somewhere around.

Another person said to him, let's go out and stand. But if the morning light doesn't shine through the rain and lightning, he won't be able to find him in this snake's den. If there is no danger to Pandit Mashai, live.'

The people left the house and waited for the morning light. Manavbabu sat silently. It's like a mess inside his head. What he saw may have been a mistake of the eye, but how did Madhusudan Vidyavinod tell the link he found?

The night passed. The morning light broke out with the call of the birds. Manavbabu came out after some time of light. The morning light then spread over the ancient ruins of Karnasubarna. People started searching all over for their scholar. Manavbabu slowly went and stood at the exact place where the chart is drawn. Washed by the rain, the grid is even more visible in the morning sunlight. Manabbabu saw a long burn mark on the ground on the table. There is a stain on the floor, like burning a stake, and the soil is quite cracked. It was really thundering here last night. The blue light coming down from the sky was not a lie.

And then Manabbabu noticed one more thing – perhaps due to the heavy impact of lightning, the grid drawn on the ground has risen up a little bit with quite a bit of space around it! Seeing the matter, Manabbabu called some people. What he had guessed was true. A large tile made of burnt clay was placed on the ground. In the middle of which is drawn the gambling table. After a thousand years, sunlight entered the ancient tunnel after removing the tile. In no time, Manabbabu entered that tunnel with a few people. It can be seen that it was quite a long tunnel. But a little further, the tunnel was closed due to landslides. Bhagirathi river is now far away from this place, but Bhagirathi is situated at the mouth of this closed tunnel.

 The clay under the feet of man has turned into stone after thousands of years. Lightning from overhead lets light in through cracks.

Manbabu saw Panda lying in the tunnel at a distance The body of the elephant! How did he get in here? Manabbabu along with the people went and stood in front of the dead body. No, there is no sign of being burned by lightning. A village Sanskrit teacher named Madhusudan Vidyavinod or Martanda Kashyap, a Brahmin born in the gambling den of Shwetara, are staring at Manabbabu with their eyes wide open. There is a faint smile on the corner of his lips. A smile of satisfaction or amusement. Although the cauldron is not there, there are many silver coins scattered around the body. The one hundred silver coins given by the chicken? And then Manabbabu saw one more thing. A beam of light through a crack in the roof came vertically to the floor of the tunnel. In that light, Manavbabu saw small petrified footprints on the floor. Those imprints moved towards the direction of the tunnel collapse. Footprints of white stars? After thousands of years, returning to his rope and satisfying Kashyap, Shvetara may have returned this way with his rope to the ancient Karnasubarna deep in the ground.
