[music playing]
Accept my salutations, O Lord!
How dare you obtain the elixir without permission?
Have you forgotten what happened to Rahu?
[song playing]
'Rahu!'
I remember, O Lord.
Then you must also remember
that nobody has the right to obtain the elixir without my permission
in this entire universe.
[music playing]
Yet you snatched it from the gods. Why?
O Lord, you're aware
that it is not for me but for my mother's freedom.
No matter how virtuous the reason is, Garud
you don't have the right to snatch the elixir.
[music playing]
Either you return it right away
or get ready to face the consequences.
[music playing]
Forgive me, O Lord.
I can't return the elixir.
Even if I die at your hands
it will liberate me!
So you won't give up on the elixir.
Even if it brings upon a war with me.
[music playing]
O, Lord.
My mother's freedom is my supreme duty.
To fulfil my duties, if I must fight you
and there is no alternative
then I'm ready for that.
[music playing]
What? What misfortune is this?
For his mother, a son
is compelled to fight his Lord.
That Lord
instead of empathising with him and forgiving him
is determined to punish him.
What is Garud's fault?
Apart from being devoted to his mother
and striving for her freedom, nothing mattered to him.
What is Vinta's fault?
She always taught her son to be righteous!
[music playing]
If Lord Vishnu
does something wrong with Garud
then Vinta will lose faith in her God.
Then, not only devotion
but it shall be a defeat for gods too.
[music playing]
You're not able to see beyond your mother's suffering, Garud.
You and your mother have been true devotees.
So, I'll give you another chance.
Return the elixir.
Save your life and return to your mother.
If something happens to you
then your mother, for whom you're obtaining this elixir
shall remain alive
but her desires, ambition and joy
will die with you.
[music playing]
She will live her life lifeless, like a rock.
Devoid of pleasures, unaffected and lifeless.
She will have no sympathy
but agony within.
The agony will be eternal.
I know, O Lord
but my mother's life
as a bonded servant is as torturous as death.
In her heart
she only bears pain, O Lord.
[song playing]
It is endless pain.
I've also promised Kadru, O Lord
that I won't return to her without the elixir.
She is so happy at the thought of obtaining the elixir
that she has promised to free my mother from her bondage.
If I don't fulfil my promise and return empty-handed
then it will be taken well, O Lord.
You're only able to see your mother's suffering, Garud.
What about those mothers who will suffer
when the Nagas will drink the elixir, become eternal
and poison the world?
Doesn't their suffering matter to you?
You've experienced it, Garud
that a drop of poison can be so destructive.
If the poison spreads to the entire world
then won't the world be destroyed?
Won't the universe echo with all the mothers wailing?
Is it right to make countless mothers suffer just for yours?
[music playing]
My mother has always been devoted to you, O Lord.
Everybody is bound by your rules.
Then why is my mother
treated differently?
[music playing]
Why shouldn't my mother get rewarded for her good deeds?
To not let all the mothers on the planet suffer
is it right for my mother to suffer all her life?
Despite being innocent
she has to live all her life in a bondage
and tolerate her sister's torture.
Will that be just, O Lord?
[music playing]
To maintain harmony in the lives of countless mothers
my mother will forever live in suffering.
Will that be justice, O Lord?
If you still feel that I'm wrong
then launch your disk weapon!
[music playing]
With the strength of my mother's love
I'm willing to face it.
[music playing]
[chanting]
[music playing]
[chanting]
Garud!
'This sight is so horrendous to imagine.'
'I have to stop the Lord from doing this.'
[chanting]
[music playing]
[chanting]
Stop, O Lord!
[music playing]
You can't do this.
Goddess, don't interfere in this!
I have to stop him from ruining the harmony of the world.
The harmony that you're talking about, O Lord
is based on principles.
[thundering]
And principles are based on faith.
[music playing]
That faith
is illustrated by devotees like Vinta and Garud.
That faith
when instilled in service
can compel the stern Lord Dattatreya to give blessings.
[song playing]
That faith
which despite knowing
that Garud is going to snatch the elixir
made the sages bless him so that he succeeds.
'You and your mother have suffered a lot'
'Not anymore. The motive that you're setting out for'
'will surely succeed!'
'Don't worry, Garud.'
'You shall succeed in this test.'
O Lord, if you punish Garud today
then the sages' words shall not come true.
The devotees will lose faith in their gods.
'The devotees will lose faith in their gods.'
To protect Garud, Goddess Lakshmi
has stood up against Lord Vishnu.
The worst part is that
on Earth, motherhood that is venerated
and the honour of every mother
will lose its meaning.
[music playing]
'I'm so fortunate.'
'The mother of the universe is here to defend my mother.'
[song playing]
Goddess!
I respect Garud and your feelings.
But I can't permit him to take the elixir to the Nagas.
The elixir is a boon.
In this universe
if the Angel of Death becomes an accomplice in getting the elixir
then nothing can get worse.
[music playing]
O, Lord!
Find a way to make Vinta free.
Do something
that makes Kadru realise
that all her wishes can't be fulfiled.
[music playing]
There's only one way, Garud.
You will have to drink this elixir.
[music playing]
Apart from this incident
you have always been righteous.
If you wish, you can drink the elixir.
[music playing]
The Nagas will surely lose the battle against you.
Their mother, Kadru
will be compelled to free your mother.
So, this was Lord Vishnu's plan. All that happened
was to reach this situation.
That's it!
- So, Lord Vishnu... - He was testing Garud.
[music playing]
What are you thinking, Garud?
The elixir is the solution to your problems. Drink it!
'All the divine powers'
'have always discriminated against me'
'and supported you. Why, Vinta?'
'What do you have that I lack?'
[music playing]
Forgive me, O Lord.
I can't drink this elixir.
[music playing]
I don't deserve it.
I had obtained it for my mother's freedom and not myself.
[music playing]
Most importantly, I can't set my mother free by fighting.
I know my mother well.
She won't accept her freedom until Kadru willingly
breaks the bondage.
[music playing]
- And... - What else, Garud?
If I drink the elixir
then Kadru will be upset, O Lord.
[music playing]
To date, she has
always felt that all sages
gods and goddesses
have supported me and discriminated against her sons.
If I get the elixir instead of the Nagas then
Kadru will be shattered, O Lord.
I can't be so ruthless to her.
Forgive me, O Lord.
[song playing]
You're remarkable, Garud!
You have the elixir in your hands.
Lord Vishnu
has permitted you to drink the elixir.
Yet you're not greedy about it.
Not only that, Goddess.
He also respects Kadru so much
although she made his mother suffer.
Garud, you've proven that
no request, reward, punishment or divisive rule
can stop you from taking this elixir.
Go, take it.
I'm grateful to you, O Lord.
I'm grateful!
[music playing]
I know, Vishnu
that there's a plan behind letting Garud take the elixir
so that you can take a final test of Garud's capability.
[music playing]
Garud!
You didn't stop despite Lord Vishnu trying.
If this elixir reaches the venomous Nagas
then the world will be destroyed.
You will die.
[thundering]
[screams]
