[music playing]
'To achieve a greater goal in life'
'one might have to face many challenges.'
'This decides the fate of every individual'
'whether the goal will be achieved or not.'
[music playing]
'Similarly, whether Vinta and Garud free themselves from servanthood'
'will be decided by Vinta's faith in me'
'and Garud's course of action.'
[music playing]
'Garud has put his life at stake to obtain the elixir.'
'So that I can be freed from the servanthood.'
'If this is your wish, O Lord'
'then I accept it.'
[music playing]
A true devotee
must have faith in God at every step.
The course determined by him
is right for everyone.
I also trust you, Lord Vishnu.
That's why I put the burden of my son's safety on you.
[conch blows]
For the first time, I didn't ask Garud to wait and eat.
[music playing]
He must be so hungry!
Amazing!
No matter who the mother is
at any point in time
or any position
she is focused on her child's hunger.
[music playing]
No matter how much a person grows
no matter how accomplished
but in his mother's view
he remains a child
who is responsible
to be fed by his mother.
You're right, O Lord.
With time, a child
can outgrow a mother's lap
but to outgrow her heart
is not possible.
A mother's heart is eternal.
A mother's love is eternal.
'Oh, Lord!'
'Please help Garud.'
'Oh, Lord.'
[music playing]
Did you eat?
How did father know that I'm hungry?
[music playing]
[conch blows]
I haven't eaten, Father.
Eat first.
Then we shall talk.
Forgive me, Father.
I'm on an urgent mission.
Until I finish that
taking a break to eat or rest
is not possible for me.
- For Kadru, I have to get... - The elixir!
[music playing]
- Father, you know everything. - Your mother is worried about you.
And she's right.
But the mission on which you are
to fulfil it
you have to fight a long war.
For that
you will need energy.
For energy
you must eat.
Food is important, Garud.
[music playing]
In father's hermitage
where will I find non-vegetarian food?
Near Punyadayak river.
Go, Garud.
You will not only find food
but also free two beings
from this mortal world.
Mortal freedom through Garud
who will get it, O Lord?
Two beings
bigger than anybody's imagination.
One is an elephant.
Six feet tall.
And twelve feet long.
[elephant trumpets]
Another one is a tortoise.
Three feet tall.
And ten feet broad.
[tortoise calls]
Both of them have been warring for long now.
They have forgotten the reason behind their anger.
Because of their massive appearance
and endless strength
they have become arrogant.
An arrogant person
can only be ruthless to others.
As long as they don't pick up a fight for no reason
there is a restlessness within.
That's why war
has become their nature.
Hence
the heart is terrified.
[music playing]
Because of their war
that side of the forest
has become deserted.
With Sarovar's water
small birds and animals
used to quench their thirst.
All the animals
are frustrated with them.
They are asking for help!
But this tortoise and elephant
why are they fighting?
In their last life, they were brothers.
The elder brother's name was
Sage Vibhavasu.
And the younger brother was Sage Supratika.
After becoming a saint
with regards to their ancestral property
and its division
they started fighting.
When two brothers are at war
then an outsider makes use of it.
They aggravate the situation
and drag the fight to a point
where there is no turning back.
This is what happened to them as well.
Paying heed to others
their fight turned into enmity.
And one day
Vibhavasu got angry
and cursed Supratika to turn into an elephant.
And Supratika got angry
and cursed Vibhavasu to turn into a tortoise.
[music playing]
[elephant trumpets]
After the curse, they both realised
that they have made such a big mistake.
That's when they decided
that a bird bigger than them
eats the both of them
then they can be relieved of this curse.
[music playing]
It's time, Garud.
Not only will you
relieve them.
But also protect all the other animals
[music playing]
who are tired of their war
and can't even quench their thirst with the water of Sarovar.
They're not even able to live peacefully in the forest.
Then both of them
will be eaten by me, Father.
Permit me.
[music playing]
Do well, Garud.
[music playing]
'You were right, O Lord.'
'To fulfil Sage Kashyapa's wish'
'you planted this thought in Vinta's mind'
'that Garud must take his father's blessing'
'before obtaining the elixir.'
'So that these animals can be relieved.'
[music playing]
[elephant trumpets]
[music playing]
[crumbling and falling]
Enraged, these animals aren't even aware
that so many innocent animals
are being terrified.
[music playing]
[elephant trumpets]
[music playing]
If someone becomes a menace to the society
then their destruction
becomes duty.
Why are you wasting time fighting each other?
If you dare
then fight me.
You have invited your death, Garud.
You're neither powerful nor massive.
You have nothing but foolishness.
And now I will punish you for your foolishness.
You're an ant compared to me.
You're as big as an ant. I will crush you!
[music playing]
What seemed difficult
has been completed by Garud so easily.
Don't get happy too soon, Shesha.
Lord Vishnu has decided to test him.
If the work seems to be getting done so easily
then it means that
we're not able to understand the Lord's test.
[music playing]
There must be something
that is out of our perception.
But when it comes up
then passing that test will be very difficult.
You think I'm ruthless, Lakshmi.
I indeed bear the burden
of maintaining the balance in society.
But greater than my decisions
are the meditative powers of the saints.
Garud must eat
was his mother's wish.
By eating these animals
he will free them.
This was his father
Sage Kashyapa's orders.
I have no part to play in this incident.
The truth is that
the universe doesn't know
that the sage's words have the power
and there's a lot of effort.
If a sage says something
then even gods are compelled to make it come true.
After Sage Durvasa's curse
I was compelled to be separated from you.
[music playing]
Very true, Lakshmi.
So, if a sage speaks well
or is angry
it always works for the betterment of the universe.
My plans
have to be altered according to it.
So that I can make the sage's words come true.
Someone who compels even God
such a dedicated, mighty person
is so extraordinary, O Lord!
[bird flying]
'I have to find a place'
'where without troubling anybody else'
'I can eat them peacefully.'
[music playing]
'I can sit on that tree'
'and eat.'
'Nobody else will come there.'
[music playing]
'The Valakhilya sages are meditating here.'
'If the branch breaks'
'then they will all fall into the deep valley.'
'Their death is certain.'
O, Lord.
What sort of test is this?
If this branch breaks
then Garud will bear the sin of killing the sages.
[music playing]
And if Garud alerts them
then they can get angry for getting interrupted.
Your worry is valid, Lakshmi.
Even the wisest of sages, during their meditation
water, fire,
air, sky
they can tolerate everything.
But they don't tolerate distraction.
If the sages
curse Garud
then he will neither be able to win against Lord Indra
or obtain the elixir.
Even Vinta won't be freed!
[song playing]
Unimaginable! Unbelievable!
Intellect, sympathy and balance.
Garud has demonstrated it all.
He is apt to become your vehicle, O Lord.
You're being hasty
and getting too excited, Goddess.
Garud has just started flying.
We still have to see
how he lands.
If the Valakhilya sages find out that
their place of meditation has been changed because of Garud
then they can get angry too!
They can still curse him.
[music playing]
If there's any opposition at that time
or anyone gets hurt
then what will happen?
[music playing]
'I have to rectify this.'
'I must ask for father's help.'
[music playing]
[birds chirping]
[wings flapping]
'I had sent him to eat.'
'Why has he brought them here?'
Valakhilya sages?
[music playing]
'I hope Garud doesn't drop the Valakhilya sages.'
'Else'
'it will be impossible to save him from their wrath.'
[music playing]
'Your stature is big.'
'But your intellect is small.'
'We were here to bless you'
'but now, we will'
'curse you!'
'Curse!'
'I will have to wake the Valakhilya sages'
'from their meditative state.'
'Else when their meditation is over'
'on learning that'
'their place of meditation has been changed'
'they will consider it as an insult.'
'Lord, what if Sage Kashyapa's fear comes true?'
Saving Garud from the Valakhilya sages' anger
will be impossible.
[music playing]
'I've unknowingly made such a big mistake.'
'I hope I don't lose the chance to free my mother.'
[music playing]
