And he had always been disillusioned at the end. Parvateshwar had laid hopes on a few such men in his youth.

However, Parvateshwar had learned through long years of experience that while many men tried to rise up to Lord Ram’s level, none had ever succeeded. He too wished that Shiva would rise to be a Mahadev and lead them to victory against the Chandravanshis. Vraka was not aware that Parvateshwar was hoping something similar in his mind. The Mahadev will fight for all of us, General. ‘Vraka thought, not daring to voice his opinion. Why should he? It’s unfair of us to demand this of him.’ He is not going to risk Sati being bereaved again. ‘Furthermore,’ continued Parvateshwar, ‘he is married now. Why was his general refusing to accept what was so obvious to everyone? Was he so attached to Lord Ram that he couldn’t believe that another saviour had arrived on earth? Did he actually believe that Lord Ram could be the only one? Hadn’t Lord Ram himself said that he is replaceable, only dharma is irreplaceable? Vraka looked up for a brief instant at Parvateshwar’s eyes. What reason would there be for him to do that?’ ‘We can’t impose on him just because he has a blue throat. Vraka kept his eyes low, lest they betray the fact that he disagreed with his chief. He won’t be putting his own life at risk in a war just to find one Naga.’ We will help him wreak vengeance when we throw the guilty Naga at his feet. But the uppermost desire in his mind is retribution, not justice for Meluha. Parvateshwar probably felt the need to explain, for he continued speaking. ‘Shiva? No, I don’t think he would be fighting this war, Vraka.’ ‘I thought the Mahadev would lead the other flank.’ ‘Me, my Lord?’ asked an astonished Vraka. That is why I need your opinion on some things.’ ‘I will lead the left flank,’ said Parvateshwar. But who was he to correct his general? ‘I agree, my Lord.’ Vraka did not like it when Parvateshwar referred to the Neelkanth by his name. ‘Shiva thinks it suits our requirements perfectly’ It provided flexibility without sacrificing strength. The bow formation was ideal for a smaller army. The cavalry would be at both the ends of the bow, ready to be quickly deployed anywhere on the front or to ride along the sides of the bow for protection. The flanks would comprise quicker units such as the light infantry. The slower corps, like the tortoises, would be placed at the centre. The soldiers would be arranged in a wide semi-circular pattern.

Vraka and Parvateshwar were sitting in the general’s private office. ‘This is the military formation I think ideal for the battle,’ said Parvateshwar. ‘If the Neelkanth says it is right,’ continued Mayashrenik, ‘then it is right!’ Vidyunmali was surprised by the outburst. ‘I don’t think the Neelkanfh truly knows right from wrong!’ ‘Lord Shiva has ordered that there are no vikarmas anymore.’
