Chapter -12

Gorakhnathji arrived Dadrewa, a province in Gujarath which was affected by severe drought, the moment he placed his feet on this land,  the plants and trees which was died of extreme temperature were got their lives back,  the ponds, wells, and rivers were brimming with waters,  this mysterious news spread across the village and the King’s palace.  Queen was not ready to believe, but she heard from other women in the palace that the whole village has got new life at the arrival of the holy men.  They believed that the destiny of Dadrewa province is going to change forever with the touch of the feet of holy men.  The two Queens Bachal and Kachal of Maharaja Jewarsingh had no offspring for several years, so they have decided to meet the holy men, this kind of mysterious incident never happened before in their province; they thought he must be God’s emissary.  But the youngest one among the queens made up her mind to visit the holy men before her elder sister, and prepares to leave the palace; she also decided to ask for an heir to the throne to holy men.  The eldest Queen Bachal thought if Maharaja Jewarsingh was there it would be great to meet the saint with him, she believed it must be Guru Gorakhnath who is the preceptor of the province of Dadrewa, she was thrilled with joy that her long cherished dream is going to fulfill with the blessings of Gorakhnathji.  Soon the youngest Queen Kachal left the palace without the knowledge of the eldest one to get the blessings of Gorakhnathji, she appealed before Guruji  and said “ Guruji, I am the eldest Queen, but I am having a miserable life without a child, Maharaj wants me to have a child, kindly bless me to have a son.” Gorakhnathji blessed her and gave sacred ashes from the fire pit, he advised her to drink it with the milk, so that she can have two children. She reverentially greeted Guruji and said, “ I will not forget your grace, I shall always follow your path.”  On the way to the palace, the youngest Queen smiled at her evilness, she thought Guruji will recognize her lie, but he did not, she returned to the fortress.  The eldest Queen Bachal arrived to meet Gorakhnathji, she reverentially prostrated before Guruji and said “ Guruji, I am unfortunate one, I do not have any offspring, I am yearning to hear the voice of a child in our palace, I shall surrender at your feet, kindly bless me to have a son.”  Guruji was confused seeing the same female before him, in fact, the two sisters Kachal and Bachal had the same appearance, and therefore it was difficult to recognize each one.  Guruji understood that the youngest one took advantage of her appearance and fooled him.  Guruji appeared before serpent Vasuki in Pathal lok, Gorakhnath wanted to bless the eldest one who does not have the fortune to give birth to a child.  Nagraj Vasuki promised Padmanag will be born as the child of    Queen Bachal, she received sacred ashes and blessings from Guruji, which could provide her a virtuous offspring with valor, attractiveness, courage, and fearlessness, he blessed her boy child will achieve great fame in his Kingdom.
