I Become Karna With a Million Times Crit System In Mahabharata.
Chapter 68 68. Gayatri Mantar"Please let me give you the honour to serve your family, Bharman Dev*."
Gandhari led the Sage and his wives inside the dining hall and gave her her own dedicated place for them to sit comfortably, Which they took with a smile and blessing her.
Karna on the other hand has a weird feeling in his heart seeing them. He had never seen these people but they looked both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
He looked at them closely. They though look ordinary but the aura and brilliance they have on their face and surrounding their body is nothing but ordinary, It at first glance looks divine.
'These sages really are too strong, I should make sure not to mess with them.'
Karna should have been able to guess their identity given the clues but because of his luck, He was not able to figure it out, So he just thought because of their immense Karma they have that divine glow.
"Don't worry about us queen, We come here to congratulate you for the blessing your son received. It is such a godsend that he has a reawakening and gets a full Vajra body, Now no one can hurt your son.
And there is you Putra (Son), You get blessing and recognition from Chaos itself, Your future will be limitless with it."
The Sage said to Gandhari, He looked at Duryodhana with pleasing eyes, At a glance he sees through the difference in him, Though Duryodhan did not provoke any Vision but that only because he did it before when he was born, Now he just get an upgrade of his Vajra body, Which did not need a Vision for recognition of the world as his lord the one who given it in the first place.
Then Sage and his wife's eyes shifted to Karna who too was looking at them trying to figure out their purpose of coming here, Though he can feel there is no ill intent coming from them but it was better to be careful than sorry.
Then he heard what he did not want to hear. They knew it, Didn't mean that mostly everyone up there should get the news of it. It would be impossible that Indra did not hear about him then, This made him break out in cold sweat.
"Bhraman Dev, How do you know? And I have one request, Can you keep this news as a secret? We did not want to reveal this to the world yet."
Gandhari had a happy smile on her face hearing Sage praising both Karna and Durydoahan. It's been a while since anyone praised her son, They mostly just complain about him.
But then she felt worried. She can understand Sages might find out about it, feeling changes in the world or just using their own Divine Vision just like Deva's do but if they can know this then she was worried others can also find out.
For example, there is Kripacharya who is both well-versed in text Brahman and good in arms, And also a royal teacher of Hastinapur, He is more than capable of doing the same as these sages did to find out her son and might even know Karna's secret.
"Don't worry Queen, Others will not find this out, Here I will put an illusion on your Son, Now no one can find out his changes until he himself reveals it, I also give you a promise I will not tell this to anyone."
Sage who was actually Surya in disguise made a move upon hearing the request of Gandhari, He flipped his hand in the air sending a colourless wave of energy towards Duryodhana, Which landed on him and then became invisible.
Gandhari sighed in relief seeing this Bhraman Dev without even saying much eased down most of her worries but then she looked at the white face of Karna, She understood what he feared and decided to help him out.
"Thank you very much, Braman Dev, Still I have one more unreasonable request, Can you also put an illusion on him to hide his newly awakened power? As you know, his power should be too powerful which might make him a target of the world."
So she did a taboo. She asked more than she had received without her asking. It was forbidden to do this as this does not only look disrespectful but also might anger the Sage which ends up being crushed by him, It has happened way too many times.
Even Shakuni who always has his tricky smile on his face stunned seeing what his sister did, Though he understands it but this is not the way she has gone with this, It will definitely anger the sage.
"Hahaha, Queen you should really like this kid, So much so that you dare to do this taboo."
Sage other than being angry laughed, Well if he was a sage he might really be angry as this action of Gandhari looks ungrateful but he is not a Sage, He came here to look at his son and see how is doing.
Gandhari doing this not only not angered him but made him like her even more. If she dares to do this taboo for his son then surely she does love and care for his son. If a queen is this loving to his son then no one in this kingdom would think of bullying his son.
"O'Bhraman Dev, See what you did? You made her so scared by saying that I recognized by Chaos. Her motherly heart became anxious and she did this to protect me. You should have been careful of your words. Now how to calm down her worried anxious heart?"
Gandhari realised what blunder she caused. She was ready to kneel down and ask for forgiveness but Karna was one step ahead of her and quickly jumped and started his sophistry turning black to white.
He though was afraid of the fact that his secret has been leaked but he ignored all that when he heard the words of Sage.
He knows how scary the anger of this sage can be, One even cursed Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva along with the whole swarga and of course Indra in a line that made all Deva lose their immortality.
So he did not want to take any chances with it and quickly come up with a solution not only to save Gandhari but also to find a way to hide his power as he is unknown to the fact that his luck took care of it.
"?????"
There was just a question mark in the mind of Surya disguised as Sage, He didn't understand what he did? He just simply praised him. What was wrong with it?
The words he was about to say it was alright to Gandhari were swallowed by him, He decided to counter Karna just to teach him that it was not good to play with your father even though he did not know about it.
But to his surprise, He could not find a way to counter it. The way he phrased it seems very reasonable as a motherly figure tends to do something unreasonable for her loved one and it also has to be forgiven as it was done because of pure motive.
So there is no way he can counter this and not end up disrespecting the love of a mother, So this is the flawless reason for it, There is a counter but no one will try to counter it.
"That- "
"Yes, You are right Putra, Indeed our husband should have worded it carefully, Now because of it poor women had to bear a worry."
"Yes, Sister is right, We have to do something to lessen her worry, What do you say Arya? How are you going to compensate him?"
Surya still wanted to say something but his two wives who were Sandhya and Chhaya in disguise were the first to speak up with wide smiles on their faces which they did not even bother to hide.
'Retaliation, This is their retaliation.'
Surya did not take any moment to realise that they were retaliating because he did not let them meet Karna all this while and now that they have a chance they wanted him to make him for his crime.
So of course he give in, He did not dare to go against his angry wives not when he was in the wrong, keeping them away from their son.
"Yes, I was wrong, I should have worded it right but you don't have to worry, Chaos is way too powerful no one can find it, As for compensation I can give you…A foremost of mantra, The Gayatri Mantra."
Surya quickly thought of something then it clicked in his mind as he with a wide smile on his face said to Karna.
