Chapter 10
In Brahma Lok Devi Saraswati was playing her Veena and Lord Brahma was lost in that beautiful music. Suddenly they heard a cry for help and the Goddess stopped playing the instrument.
"Lord Brahma it seems someone has come to our door asking for help," mentioned Saraswati looking at the entrance of the Brahma Lok.
"Devi it is the voice of Indra. As far as I can see no demon has attacked Devlok. Don't know what issue the king of Gods has."
As Brahma and Saraswati discussed on what could be the issue Indra along with other Gods from heaven came into Brahma Lok and they fell at Saraswathi's feet.
"Goddess Saraswati help us. Lord Narayan has taken the human incarnation to end Ravana. But the news is coming that Ram's coronation is announced. If Ram becomes the king of Ayodhya and rule that kingdom who will help us. How will the world get release from the atrocities of Ravana? Do something Goddess. You are the seat of knowledge. Nothing is impossible for you. Stop the coronation."
Saraswati smiled. She understood time has come for her to play her part in Narayan's Leela. Narayan had not told her exactly when the time will come. He had only mentioned when it comes, she will know. Still the Goddess wanted to take confirmation from Srihari. She looked at the Gods.
"Indra the king of Gods. Do not worry. I will help you. First let me call Srihari and get his confirmation that stopping the coronation is part of his Leela," saying it Devi Saraswati closed her eyes and invoked Srihari's name.
Very soon the Brahma Lok was filled with divine light and everyone could see Narayan with his four arms. The Gods bowed before him while Brahma, Saraswati and Narayan bowed to each other.
Narayan looked at Saraswati and smiled, "Devi do not hesitate. Time has come to start my journey to end the atrocities of Ravan. Be on the tongue of Manthara and do the needful."
"Narayan, I bow before you for the tough journey you are going to take along with Mahalakshmi for the welfare of this world. The entire world will remember this saga as long as there are rivers and mountains, as long as there is humanity in this world."
"Devi Saraswati please understand when this saga unfolds there will be people to whom this world has to bow down, people who will inspire with their selfless sacrifice which will enable me to do my duty. I need to ensure each one of them get their due credit in this saga."
"Narayan, I know that. Now allow me to do my part in this Leela and let the world enjoy this story as it unfolds," saying it Saraswati once again bowed to Narayan. Narayan too bowed to her and then vanished.
To Devas who were looking puzzled with the entire conversation between her and Lord Narayan, the Goddess mentioned she cannot reveal anything and she needs to go down to earth to do her duty. Soon they will know the result. The Gods bowed to Devi Saraswati and she blessed them. As they retreated from Brahma Lok Goddess Saraswati started her descent towards earth to reach her target Manthara.
Sulochana looked through the balcony of her palace. It was raining heavily in Lanka. In addition, there was thunderbolt and storm. Houses were getting destroyed. Sulochana was feeling as if time has been set for the destruction of Lanka. She didn't know why she felt that way and wanted to shake away that thought. It was then a maid came and announced Queen Mandodari was expecting her in her room.
Sulochana rushed to her room and saw her mother-in-law lost in thoughts. She immediately went and touched her feet. Mandodari blessed her.
"Mother why did you take the trouble to come over here. You could have asked me to come to your room. I would have come."
"Sulochana look at the night. Its so dark. Add to that rains and thunderstorm. Just now news came to me that a lighting has struck the tallest tower of Lanka. My heart says its not a good sign. You might be aware of the rumors that Lord Narayan has incarnated on earth to end the atrocities of your father-in-law. Daughter you are from serpent world. Your father would know whether it is true or not. Please ask your father has Sri Hari incarnated. If yes how can I protect my husband from his wrath. I will do everything in power to save my husband. "
Sulochana saw tears in her mother in law's eyes. She gently made Mandodari sit on the bed and wiped her tears.
"Mother I understand your fears. I am also feeling the same. But mother pardon me. I cannot get the information you need. If at all Srihari has incarnated none from Devlok or serpent world will share that information. That's the rule of Devlok as it will defeat the purpose of Srihari's incarnation. Second even if my father knows where has Srihari incarnated, he wouldn't know anything about his plans. Not just him not even Devi Lakshmi is aware of his complete plans. Everyone knows it only when the time comes. His Leelas are divine. Please tell me any other way I can help."
Mandodari looked at her daughter in law and wiped her tears.
"No daughter I understand what you are telling. It was nice talking to you. Let us pray for the prosperity of Lanka," mentioned Mandodari as she got up and took leave.
As Sulochana watched the retreating figure of her mother-in-law once again the words of her husband came into her mind.
"If Narayan wants to end someone, he will find way to do so." Once again, she went to the balcony and observed the storm that raged. Has Narayan found the way. Is he coming to Lanka? Will her husband and her uncle fight with each other? Will she have to stand against her niece? Questions were many but no answers as a single tear rolled down Sulochana's cheek thinking about Urmila.
