With a flourish of his hand, Bhagwan Parashuram declared Bhagi's true name, "Henceforth," he declared, "Ang shall not be under the rule of Hastinapur... but under the rule of one who freed Magadh from the tyranny of Cruel Jarasandha, the One true king of Magadh, MAGADHRAJ INDRASEN..!!"

Bhagi looked towards Bhagwan and bowed her head slightly thanking him for his acknowledgement. She looked around as everyone present were shocked by the introduction. Bhisma glanced at Vidura, who was busy thinking of another plan to have Magadhraj under Hastinapur.

"Kya? Aap hi Magadhraj hai?", asked Duryodhana who came forward. ("What? Are you really the magadhraj?")

"Ji rajkumar, hum hi hai Indrasen," replied bhagi with a friendly voice as she looked at Duryodhana. ("Yes Prince, I'am Indrasen")

Shakuni who was with Duryodhana came forward and smirked, " TOH yeh dhong kyu? Yeh avaran kyu? Aap pehle bhi toh bata sakte the ki aap hi Magadhraj hai?? Yeh yudh kyu?" (Then why the deception? Why the cover? You could have told this early on that you are MagadhRaj?? Then why this fight?")

Bhagi became serious and answered, " Kyuki , yaha kai simao ko ulanghan kiya gya tha. Ek dhunardhari ko viswa mein sarva Shresth ghoshit kiya gaya . ek yodha ka uske gotr se apman kiya gaya hai!" ("Beacause, many boundries have been crossed here, An archer was declared as the best in the world, a warrior was insulted here just because of his caste.")

She looked at Duryodhana, who felt the need to bow his head a little in respect, " Aur aapke vichar janke acha laga, Rajkumar. Chalo koi hai jo janta hai ki janm sthit varna vyavastha ka koi aadhaar nahi." ("It was nice knowing your views Rajkumar. At least someone knows that Caste system doesn't have any support")

Duryodhana just nodded his head in acknowledgement from the warrior standing before him, a smile threatening to break from his face.

Dronacharya who was tired of listening to the masked warrior ranting about his declaration, came forward quickly, point his finger at the warrior, " Chup ho jayo. Mana tum Raja ho , parantu bhulo mat yeh tumhara adharmi Magadh nahi apitu pavan bhumi hai Hastinapur ki..." ("BE quite! Lets believe you are the king, but don't forget this is not your aharmi Magadh but a pure city of Hastinapur")

Bhagi hearing that began to laugh loudly. Pandavas who were silent spectators till now spoke up feeling that their guru has been laughed at by her.

"Kyu has rahe ho!!.. Mana ki tum Raja ho, praantu you can't disrespect my Guru like this!?" , Shouted bheem loudly. ("Why are you laughing?!! I know you are king but... ")

Bhagi didn't pay him any heed and looked at Dronacharya, "Kis pavan Bhoomi ki baat kar rahe hai aap?? Yehi Bhoomi haina jaha par teen Pavitra striyon ko jabaran laya gya tha?" ("Which pure city are you talkingabout?? This is the same kingdom right? Where three innocent, and pure females were kidnapped and bought here without their consent?")

Bhagi looked towards the Pandavas, " Yehi Bhoomi hai na woh, jaha ek chote se baalak ke muh mein pighla hua sona dala gaya tha?" ("Isnt this the same kingdom where a small child was punished cruelly by pouring molten gold in his throat?")

Karn hearing her clenched his fist around his bow, his eyes were red. Tears threatening to spill.

Bhisma not wanting to anger such a warrior came forward, " Shama kijeye parantu , yeh sab Hastinapur ki bhalai ke liye kiya gaya tha..." ("I'm sorry but all this was done for the betterment of Hastinapur itself!")

"BHALAI!!", exclaimed bhagi loudly as she moved a bit forward but just than Bhagwan shifted his Parshu a bit which caught her eyes... Bhagi took a deep breath, "It seems your definition of Good deed is different than mine. But anyways, the discussion was not about that... and honestly I don't care what happens to Hastinapur. But, I do hope you keep count of your "good" deeds, Mahamahim."
