I Become Karna With a Million Times Crit System In Mahabharata.

Chapter 130 128. Past Boon

?

The King of Kosala Suryabhanu (The sun light) was lost in his own thoughts, He is childless and because of that there is no heir to the throne.

This is a reason why all the ministers were anxious. As if there is still no heir for the three then the internal struggle was inevitable, No matter how much loyal they are to the throne but greed always wins.

Even if it's not greed, There has to be a heir for the throne but no matter how he and his queens tried they did not get blessed by the gift of a child, Not boy nor girl.

It was at that moment when all hope was lost and he can see that it will not be far from the time when ministers will start internal fighters and others will take advantage of troubled water to destroy this kingdom once and for all. A sage appeared in front of them.

He, the king seeing the last ditch of effort, poured his out to the sage and asked for the solution for it but not expecting anything from it, As there is the rule of the kingdom that only Suryavanshi (Lineage Of Surya) can seat on the throne.

But to his surprise the sage had a solution, And the solution made him feel like a fool as the solution was just too simple making him doubt why he did not thought of that at all.

Sage just looked at him and said if this is a problem regarding this, why not do a Yangna (Rigual holy fire offering) towards the Surya Deva, The god of the sun.

This made Suryabhanu taken aback as why he didn't thought if this solution, His same literally meaning the one whose wisdom and guidance illuminate the kingdom.

Sage might have see through his thoughts and he commented that everything has a time and place, And suggest not to blame himself too much and arrange the holy ritual.

So he did just that, He first closed the border of the kingdom as the news big of this can't be passed outside as others might feel threatened and try to stop it as a big kingdom like his can only fall because of a lack of heir.

There is no other way to destroy the heritage of such a kingdom completely, So it was a wise move on his part.

After which he arranged the Yanga 8 years ago, The Yanga lasted for the whole year. There were lots of tests taken by the gods to stop his ritual but he and his queens were not budged and continued the ritual with devotion.

Finally the Sun deity was pleased by their penance and appeared in front of them in his vast glory, His body was shining like gold making anyone hard to look at him, he was floating in front of them and with a gentle smile on his face.

"I am pleased with the devotion of you and your wife Suryabhnu. Ask anything other than immortality from me."

Surya with his divine voice asked them what they wanted, Suryabhnu was overwhelmed to be blessed with the presence of Surya Deva himself.

The blood running in his veins also identity him and started running wildly, So Suryabhanu and his Queens without wasting a second kneeled in front of him and tried to gather enough confidence before he asked.

"O'Lord, for me immortality will be a curse, A life of being a child and heir less is the worst kinda punishment I will not even wish upon my enemies.

All I want is to have an heir for the throne, The one I can call my own, the Suryavanshi boy, to take over the throne from me."

After thinking about it, Suryabhanu asked the boon he wanted from his lord, He really wished to get a son to call his own, the one he can rest assured to take over the kingdom and manage it well.

"Hummm…Your wish is quite simple, So I wish to give you two options, I can give a boon to you where you will get some of your own with any one queen you wanted with.

He will be Suryavanshi, A good king and warrior.

Or you can get a very unique individual, The one who knows no limit, The mighty that even makes gods uneasy, the wisdom so unfathomable that the wars can be won and warriors can be acquired simply by talking.

The one who will be great in all weapons, He will be a great archer, the one others will be careful not to provoke, The one who have might go against all the warriors of the three worlds on his own.

He will have Dharma in his heart, and will be a great king but he will not be born to you.

So choose which one you want."

Surya hearing what boon Surybhanu wanted was taken aback, He looked at them and then towards the distant place very confused of why this boon was being asked to him.

But then he felt a power in dark moves, He didn't know why other than not giving the boon directly he spoke this things.

Yeah he loved his son but he was never biased towards anyone. If this king wanted a son then he would never think of using him to make things easy for his own son.

Hence why he did not understand why he uttered such words.

"O'Lord I can't choose anyone, the Queen, to get the blessing of a child, I love them all equally, and the child you described will be a blessing for any parent to have.

So lord give us the blessing of the 2nd child you describe about it."

Suryabhanu first wanted to agree right away with the first option he asked, But when he heard the second option he couldn't resist, It's not that he was being greedy at all but as any parent he also wanted his child to be best.

Also like he said he can't really choose which one of his queens will bear the child, It will be an injustice on others as they also wanted to be mother very very much.

That's this is will be the best for the two worlds, The queens will all get the child they wanted without being jealous or sad of others and he will also get an exceptionally capable child.

"So be it, Take this bow, When that child uses this bow, You will know it is him, After which arrange the chariot race competition for everyone, Rest of the instructions will be given to you by Devi Ganga later."

Surya was once again taken aback, Anyone will like to have their own blood rated children, but this king other than taking that option chose another.

Though he indeed said too much about his child as a father does not like to brag about their children's but Surya was sure that the king will take their own child's part.

But now that the king asked Surya can't back down, He the picked up at random and put in front of the Ritual fire and closed his eyes.

His divine power flowed in the bow while he chanted some mantra, The Sanskrit words flowed out of his mouth and were inscribed on the bow after which the bow turned into an extremely normal bow.

"But king, how will that child touch this bow? Where do we put this bow for that child to touch it?"

King respectfully took the bow back from the Surya Deva and then asked the critical question, There need this to put a bow where it's easy for the said child to pick it up.

"Don't worry about that, The destiny of his bow will find its way to him but even then you didn't rest assured, Send this bow to Hastinapur but make sure not to tell them about anything else.

Also even if someone lifted the bow, You are not allowed to see that child until he will come here for the chariot race. Make sure of that."

Surya then spoke again unexpected thing, Even he not understand why he given such a strange condition to the king, He see no reason why king not just and see the child.

Why there is even a reason for the chariot race in the first place but he just spoke without control of his own.

All he could blame now on the Niyati might have some strange reason why this all is happening and so he let it go. Unknown to him Niyati was struggling to figure out what and why everything was happening at all.

Anyway after Surya gave them a boon, He vanished, Suryabhanu and his queens were quite happy and as said by King just gifted that bow to the Hastinapur just to make sure the child will touch it.

It all happened 7 years ago. First, everyone was excited but as years went by there was no news making them anxious but finally, there was news but this was way bigger news than they expected.

"*Sigh* I guess Lord Surya underestimated the power of the child he talked about, If just touching a bow will be this big reaction, What will happen when he actually starts learning warfare?" 

Suryabhanu came out of his thoughts and stood up from the throne, And made his way towards the 9 anxious queens he needed to answer now.
