Despite his best efforts to avert disaster, fate had other plans for him, pulling him inexorably towards the battlefield where his true purpose awaited.

With each step he took, Gokul felt the weight of his burden pressing down upon him, threatening to crush him beneath its unforgiving weight. He knew that he could no longer deny the role he was meant to play in the unfolding drama of the Mahabharata, no matter how much he longed to turn away and flee.
