As the life force of the defeated Asura boss dissipated, a radiant light enveloped Nitish. In an instant, he found himself transported to a realm that transcended mortal boundaries.
As Nitish stood in awe of the magnificent surroundings, he could feel a profound sense of tranquility wash over him. The divine realm he found himself in was a sight to behold—lush meadows carpeted with vibrant flowers, the air filled with the sweet fragrance of lotus blossoms, and a serene aura that permeated every inch of the landscape.
Before him lay a massive snake, coiled like a bed. Its majestic form glistened in the gentle light, its eyes radiating a serene wisdom. Nitish couldn't help but be captivated by the ethereal beauty of this place and the sense of peace that permeated the air.
As his gaze shifted, Nitish caught sight of a mighty figure seated on a golden throne, adorned in resplendent garments that mirrored the grandeur of the divine realm. The figure exuded an aura of power and compassion, his eyes reflecting the infinite depths of the cosmos.
Unbeknownst to Nitish, he had found himself in Vaikuntam, the holy abode of Lord Maha Vishnu. Overwhelmed by the sacredness of the place and the presence of the divine figure before him, Nitish instinctively dropped to his knees, bowing in deep reverence.
The divine being smiled, his eyes filled with benevolence and understanding. He gestured for Nitish to rise, his voice resonating with a soothing timbre. "Arise, Nitish, and be at ease. You are welcomed in this sacred realm," he spoke, his words imbued with a divine aura.
Nitish's heart swelled with a sense of calm and belonging. The tension that had gripped him moments ago dissipated completely, replaced by an overwhelming sense of serenity. He felt as though the weight of the world had been lifted from his shoulders, and a newfound clarity settled within him.
The divine figure spoke again, his voice carrying a gentle authority. "Fear not, Nitish. You have arrived here by the divine will. Your valor and determination in battle have led you to this sacred place, the realm of Lord Maha Vishnu."
Nitish, still awestruck, found his voice. "Lord, I am humbled to be in your presence. How did I come to be here? What is my purpose in this divine realm?" he inquired, his words laced with a mix of curiosity and reverence.
The divine figure's smile widened. "You have been chosen, Nitish, for a special purpose. Your journey as the disciple of Karn, guided by Lord Parasurama, has led you to this juncture. Here, in Vaikuntam, you shall find the answers you seek."
As Nitish absorbed the words, he felt a surge of gratitude and determination. He knew that his presence in this divine realm was no mere coincidence—it was a part of a greater plan, a path laid out for him to follow.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the divine figure summoned forth a radiant glow that enveloped Nitish. In that moment, he could feel his kavachh—the impenetrable armor bestowed upon him—growing heavy, as though it had absorbed the divine energy of the realm.
His kundalas, too, emitted a radiant light, intertwining and forming a protective barrier around him. Nitish felt a newfound sense of invincibility, knowing that he was shielded by the blessings of his mother's divine gift.
The divine figure spoke once more, his voice resounding with a sense of purpose. "Nitish, your journey does not end here. You have faced great trials, honed your skills, and embraced the teachings of Karn. But there is still more to learn, more challenges to overcome."
Nitish nodded, his gaze unwavering. "I am ready, Lord. I shall heed your guidance and continue on the path set before me. May I seek your blessings and guidance in my quest to honor Karn's legacy?"
