Page 30
Durbheeksh throws the broken sword on the ground. Sarvdaman also throws his broken sword and rushed towards Durbheeksh. This time the wrestling war started between the both warriors. Durbheeksh was completely astonished see the moves of Sarvdaman.
Sarvdaman pushed him back, while Durbheeksh stared at Sarvdaman, 'This move, I know this move. It is exactly same as that warrior, who deceived me. Because of whom I was unconscious till seventy years. 'Vikramajit', his moves is exactly like that wretch warrior Vikramajit. I can never forget his moves.'
Durbheeksh was standing still, while Sarvdaman rushed towards him. They both collided with each other. The eyes both the fierce warrior were in contact.
'Who are you? Who trained you? Why I am feeling that I've fought you earlier?' Durbheeksh asked staring at Sarvdaman.
While Sarvdaman also replied staring at him, 'What a coincidence, Durbheeksh. I am also having the same feeling, that I have fought you earlier.'
Sarvdaman pushes back Durbheeksh again. The eyes of Durbheeksh were filled with flames listening those words of Sarvdaman. Blood in his veins were running at tremendous speed. While Sarvdaman rushed towards him again.
Durbheeksh tightened his grip, collected all his strength and made a fierce punch on Sarvdaman's chest. Sarvdaman was in the air for a while, he falls on the ground and blood spilled out of his mouth. Durbheeksh rushed towards him again and grabbed him.
Using all his strength Durbheeksh lifts up Sarvdaman and throws him. Sarvdaman gets collides with the gate of the palace, that gate was destroyed too.
Now Sarvdaman was severely injured, he was on the ground and was bleeding harshly too. Furious Durbheeksh turned towards his horse and pulled out one more sword from the sheath. Thereafter, he stepped towards Sarvdaman.
Sarvdaman was severely inured and was bleeding too, but then also he used all his strength and stood up from the ground. He also grabs one sword from soldier and waited for Durbheeksh.
But before the collision of both swords, Durbheeksh was compelled to move back. He was stunned seeing the lady in the outfit of a widow in front of him. She was Durdhara, and her sword was on the neck of Durbheeksh.
The sword of the Demon Lord Durbheeksh was down seeing her. Sarvdaman was astonished seeing this. Durbheeksh was appearing to be insane at that time.
'Get away, Demon Lord Durbheeksh. I am Durdhara, the shield of Hastinapur.' Durdhara confronted Durbheeksh.
Durbheeksh was quite insane, he didn't uttered a word and moved few steps back. Thereafter, he turned back and continued moving back in the jungle. He didn't even bothered that he has a horse with him. He continued moving towards the jungle while walking. His horse chased him.
Meanwhile, Meghvarna, Chandraketu and Digvijay reached there. Meghvarna looked over Durbheeksh for a while, but he didn't noticed him seriously. He just looked over at his backside while he was going in the forest.
When they reached the gate of the palace, they were stunned to see Sarvdaman's condition. Meghvarna stepped down from his horse and rushed towards him.
'Are you ok, Sarvdaman? How this happened, my friend?' Meghvarna came near Sarvdaman and asked.
'Demon Lord Durbheeksh was here.'
Meghvarna was frustrated listening this, 'I am really sorry, my friend. I got this information earlier, but I failed to reach on time.'
'It's ok, Meghvarna. Although he was the toughest competition, but even after three prahars of duel he cannot defeat me.' Sarvdaman said proudly.
Meghvarna was delighted listening this, 'I am really very proud of you, my friend. You are one of the greatest warrior of this Aaryavart.'
While Durdhara turned back and was about to leave.
'Wait, Durdhara.' Sarvdaman stepped towards Durdhara.
'Why the sword of Durbheeksh was down when he saw you in front of him?' Sarvdaman stared at Durdhara.
While Meghvarna, Chandraketu and Digvijay were also stunned listening this.
'I am the shield of Hastinapur. And that was the only purpose why your father King Dushyant adopted me and my sister.' Durdhara replied.
'You cannot skip this conversation. I am not satisfied with your reply. Tell me, what he has seen in you that turned him insane for a while and he returned back? Why you have isolated yourself in a dark room since ten years? I am dying to know. Tell me.' Sarvdaman was turning eager.
Durdhara stared at him. Even Meghvarna, Chandraketu and Digvijay were also waiting for her reply.
While Durbheeksh was walking in the jungle with the blank mind. He sat on a rock, his head was down on the support of his sword. Tears spilled out of his eyes. The rain begins to fall on him, but this could not make a difference. He was sitting like a statue.
A day passed, he was still sitting like a statue. Soon one hand was on his shoulder.
Durbheeksh came back to his sense up to some extent seeing that person, 'Gurudev.' That person was Bhairavnath.
'What happened, Durbheeksh? You have come to attack on Hastinapur. Then why you are here? Go and destroy Hastinapur and mount the flag of Vidarbh on the palace of Hastinapur.' Bhairavnath commanded Durbheeksh.
'No Gurudev, I cannot.' Durbheeksh replied.
'What? You cannot? The great Demon Lord Durbheeksh having divine power of five elements is saying that he cannot defeat Hastinapur? What has happened to you?' Bhairavnath was astonished.
'Hastinapur has the strongest shield which I cannot break.'
'The strongest shield. Any shield of this Aaryavart is still not built which you cannot break, Durbheeksh. What is that shield you are talking about?' Bhairavnath asked him astonishingly.
'That shield is Durdhara. I have seen her after ten years.' Splits of tears spilled out of Durbheeksh's eyes.
Bhairavnath was stunned listening her name.
