Chương 3: Mahishiamman have decided
Dayalini went with her husband Anvamundan, entered into a cave. Darkness was surrounding them as they started walking in to it. After walking for a long distance, they saw, through the beams of sunlight, an old woman sitting on a stone and was being covered by snakes from the shoulders up to the waist. She is Hahuma. The visitors greeted her. She opened her eyes and asked,"Dayalini! Your sister used to follow me a lot. She used to share her every pain, every problem, every happiness and every sadness with me. Now you tell, what brought you here to me"? Thinking of the plan, Dayalini replied, "History has repeated itself Hahuma. I have came to you to know what is right and what is wrong? Hahuma! If Devsena will became a queen what will happen? I got worried thinking about it. I got trembled up. How can she will be able to control the people"?
Confused by her question, Hahuma asked, "Why? What do she did now"? Dayalini explained,"She don't know what is wrong and what is right for her. So, how can she know what is right and what is wrong for the kingdom? She loves difficulties. She keeps on inviting troubles". She narrated a story of competing crocodile. Protecting his daughter, Anvamundan said," A queen should know how to swim. And Hahuma! Maharani Chamundi have also ----". "Never played with living crocodiles", interjected Dayalini. Hahuma took it lightly and said," A crocodile of water is nothing compared to a crocodile in real life which is far more dangerous".
Dayalini then continued,"But when will she be able to understand her responsibility. She should know that a queen should respect the war act and should laugh at it". She narrated another story of how she played with swords. Again taking the side of his daughter, he said,"How this can be told as laughing at war art. This states that she love challenging warriors. This also shows that she is also a wonderful warrior and have an amazing speed". Supporting her statement she said, "One day this speed of hers only will submerse her along with us". Hahuma said, "Dayalini! Why are you thinking of Devsena's speed? Huh? She can take care of it".
She still hold unto her plan and said," And what should I do to her habit of breaking limitations "? She narrated another story of how she used to ate with servant. Then continued,"Who will take a princess like her with seriousness? Who will respect a queen like this? Can this girl will ever be able to understand the seriousness of governance? If the people will not be scare to her, how can they would stay subjected to her"? He said, "Maharani Chamundi used to say governance is not done by scaring people. It is done by love and respect and her actions shows that she doesn't do inequalities". Thinking deeply for a while Hahuma said," Anvamundan! Not everyone can understand this but remember she will become a very good queen. Everyone will love her. The daughter of Chamundi and Anvamundan is a river. Don't stop her. Let her flow".
Now this time, she used her key and said,"And if during flowing this river will go to the other side of Saptasindhu? Then what will happen"? Upon hearing this question the cobras in the body Hahuma lifted up their head and hissed. Hahuma just said one word ' Saptasindhu '. She continued, "She always talks about going their. She keeps on asking about it". Hahuma worriedly said," She can't go there. That area is restricted. We have to stop her. There is the habitation of death. If she went there, the door to our destruction will be wide open. From their only will come our biggest enemy. From their will be the starting of the decline of the Dravids ". Saying this she closed her eyes to get a vision of the future.
She saw a woman is sitting on an elephants wearing a blue robe whose train is flowing in the sky. Her body is well built like that of a warrior and her facial feature can make any man charmed. As she is moving forward a horse came running towards her and stopped in front of her. Above the horse was sitting an man who is a way more muscular than her and his facial feature is also no less. They are Devsena and Varundev. She then spoke," Oh! So, this place is forbidden from their fear. Today, a Dravid woman will give them a introduction of her power in a way like this, that they will never think of landing their sight on our area". Varundev calmly said,"Don't come in the path of my work, or else I will forget that you are a woman".
Angered by his statement, Devsena took out her sword so as Varundev. The elephant curved his trunk into a shape of horizontal S and Devsena stood on it holding the sword. Varundev too stand on the back of his horse holding his sword. They both jumped up to fly and as soon as their swords clashed, Hahuma opened her eyes. She kept mumbling words like ' Destruction ', ' Bloodshed ' and ' Death '.
Then she suddenly yelled at Dayalini, "Why don't you stop her"? She got scared by the sudden yell but regained her composure and told," Have she ever listens to me? Have she ever seriously understands my words"? Reluctant to listen anything Hahuma said, "Then make her understand". Dayalini said,"I have tried to make her understand but every time I was about to tell her anything she fly away as a bird. She don't have any inclination towards the throne. How can be she the queen"? In a serious tone Hahuma said," Then make her a captive ". With a smiling face Dayalini said," Sure ". Hahuma continued," Cut off her wings". Her smile got wide,"Everything will be followed". Hahuma again said,"Tie her up...". Dayalini was contended with her plan and was laughing a devil laugh inside her heart but her face paled when she heard Hahuma said, "... with the throne she is trying to run away from". " Excuse me", said Dayalini in disbelief what she had just heard.
Hahuma smiled and told, "Make her the queen Dayalini". Then she turned her head towards Anvamundan and said," Devsena will be crowned in three days. Make the preparation for the coronation ". Anvamundan smiled contently and said,"There will be a great arrangement of the coronation". Hahuma said, " I am happy that you accepted the decision of Mahishiamman[1] just like Chamundi does. Dayalini I am happy that you made me known this before it is too late otherwise a disaster could have happened. Now I can dedicate my rest of the life in the service of Mahishiamman. This is what you have wanted. Right"? Holding her grudges, she smiled halfheartedly and said,"You are right. I have wanted this. But it will not last long". Obviously she did not said the last sentence. She have to think of a plan as soon as possible to get rid of Devsena.
