Synopsis

Kartikay journeyed to Kritika Lok, but a disquiet settled upon him when he was addressed not as a son, but as Senapati. Tare, emboldened by this unfamiliar deference, challenged Kartikay to a duel. Kartikay accepted the challenge, and in the ensuing combat, felled Tare. Mahadev, witnessing the aftermath, rebuked Kartikay sharply for his excessive violence.
