Goddess Parvati.
For the last 3000 years, she has been in deep meditation.
Praise be to Lord Shiva.
But, Lord Shiva.
Lord Shiva is not waking up from his meditation.
He is compassionate to demons
Lord Shiva.
I don't know how long is he planning to test the Goddess.
For how long will Goddess Parvati, without any food or water
will have to meditate, Lord Indra.
Praise be to Lord Shiva.
Here, Tarakasur's atrocity has increased so much
that saints and mendicants
ordinary people, sages, spirits, and eunuchs
are afraid of even taking his name.
[laughs]
In his shadow, demons are nurturing, Lord Indra.
The terror has increased so much that
the residents of Earth don't trust us anymore.
[music playing]
It's not enough to just banish the gods from Swargalok.
From every person's heart
they must be banished.
Whoever goes against me
and praises someone else
torture them so much
and harass them
so that they won't approach a God for their freedom
but only me
they will approach only me.
[laughs]
- King Tarakasur! - Praise be to him!
Praise be to Lord Shiva.
I can hear chants.
It's a woman's voice.
Who is she?
Praise be to Lord Shiva.
Beauty!
Not beauty, fool!
She's the most beautiful woman.
Most beautiful woman on this planet.
She must be with us.
You're right.
In such a company
the planet will feel heavenly.
[music playing]
Stop!
Two more women. Attractive!
Mesmerising.
Three women.
Now, they will become ours.
[music playing]
[clashing]
Stop, evil men!
Don't you dare step ahead. It won't be good for you.
With beauty
you're audacious too.
What are you all doing in this isolated place?
You must be with our Lord
Tarakasur, in his palace.
[laughs]
If you please him
then all your wishes will come true.
Shame on you!
Go back. Don't you dare come closer.
You're unaware of our strength.
You've dared to reject our proposal.
I think we have to teach you all a lesson.
We must punish you.
[laughs]
Parvati!
Goddess, the demons have surrounded us.
We must run!
[laughs]
'The demons are getting closer to Goddess Parvati.'
'How do I protect her now?'
'O, Lord. Protect us.'
'The promise made to the queen'
'of protecting Parvati, how do we live up to it?'
Ah! [laughs]
[explosion]
[song playing]
Goddess, such a deep meditative state.
You're so deep into meditation.
You're great, O Goddess.
[song playing]
You're Tarakasur's warriors.
[music playing]
Yet, you were defeated.
[music playing]
A woman defeated you.
Who is she?
Who tried to tarnish my reputation
and fearful image?
I would like to meet that person.
With my hands
I will kill her.
Your Majesty, the defeat of these ordinary soldiers
will not tarnish your reputation.
Anyway, there's no warrior in the three Lokas
who can dare to face you.
She's an ordinary woman.
But, why do you want to mess with her?
Anyway, she's worshipping Lord Shiva.
Lord Shiva is detached from this world anyway.
Neither will he hear her prayers, nor will he get impressed.
He won't grant her a boon too.
You're right.
How can she harm me?
Let her do what she wants.
No woman can dare
to face me.
[laughs]
Over-confidence and arrogance will finish him.
Praise be to Lord.
When will it happen?
Goddess Parvati has been meditating for so long now.
She has gained so much strength that the demons can't face it.
For so long, she is surviving on wind.
How much will Lord Shiva test her?
[music playing]
It's not like
Goddess Parvati was giving a test and Lord Shiva was at peace.
He was in a deep meditative state too.
So that he can wipe out his memories.
And he can test Goddess Parvati without any prejudice.
The moment was here.
Goddess Parvati went to the banks of Ganga to take a bath.
[music playing]
[conch blows]
Save me! Help!
Is anybody there? Help us!
Help us!
Save me!
Help!
[gasps]
Help! Help me!
Help! Save me!
[gasps]
Help! Save me!
I don't wish to die.
[gasps]
Mother, help me!
I don't wish to die.
Mother, help me!
Help me!
'I must help this kid.'
'Else what will be the difference'
'between the cruelty of this crocodile'
'and my worship?'
This is a strange test, Lord Indra.
I'm trying to understand the same thing, Lord Agni.
What will be the consequence of it?
[music playing]
Lord, this is a strange test.
It's difficult too.
Help me! Save me!
O, Crocodile, let go of this kid.
I won't.
Leave, woman. Don't interrupt nature.
But, he's just a kid.
His life has just begun.
Don't kill him so soon. Let him go!
[song playing]
It's my right to food, woman.
He's my food.
By letting him live, I won't threaten my life.
If it's your right to feed
then it's his right to life too.
Hence, let go of this kid.
Eat me instead.
[music playing]
What are you saying, Goddess?
If this is the only way to save this kid
then I will be his food.
But, I won't let you threaten your life.
No, you have been serving me all my life.
I won't snatch your life.
[music playing]
This is my decision.
Crocodile, come.
Let go of this kid and eat me.
[music playing]
As compared to this kid's tender skin
your body is worn out.
I don't accept your proposition, woman.
Yet
if you want to save this kid
then give me the reward of your penance.
[music playing]
Aren't you ashamed, Crocodile?
If you want to reap the reward of the penance
then why don't you meditate?
It's wrong to wish for someone else's reward.
Anyway, why do you need it?
Every creature desires to unite with Lord Shiva.
The reward of her penance will help me attain it soon.
Tell me, woman. To save the life of this kid
are you willing to make this sacrifice?
[music playing]
O, Lord.
If she rejects it
then she will fail Lord Shiva's test.
If she accepts it
then her efforts for 300 years will be wasted.
[music playing]
What are you thinking?
It's not worth thinking, Goddess.
You've survived on wind for so long.
You have meditated in difficult circumstances.
You've endured so much and waited so long.
Was that to give away the reward
of your meditation to this crocodile?
Mother, help me! I don't wish to die!
[music playing]
But, this innocent kid
I can't see him die.
You think about it.
If this boy dies
then will Lord Shiva be impressed with me?
[music playing]
Not only Lord Shiva
I won't be happy with the fact
that I could've saved an innocent kid
but for my selfish reasons
I let go of that opportunity.
I let this innocent kid die.
No.
But, Goddess, the stage at which you are
it has taken you 3000 years of rigorous meditation.
I can do it again, Jaya.
But, in front of my eyes
I can't see an innocent kid die.
To save this kid
I am willing to sacrifice the reward of my meditation.
[song playing]
[conch blows]
I, Parvati
keeping all the gods and goddesses as witness
the reward of my penance...
[music playing]
Goddess, where's the kid?
Where is the crocodile?
[music playing]
[song playing]
Congratulations, Lord Shiva.
Goddess Parvati survived your test.
Congratulations, Lord.
Congratulations!
Shiva.
End her test.
Visit her.
She has only survived her first test.
[music playing]
First test?
Do you mean that
you're going to test her further, Lord Shiva?
'If Lord Shiva keeps testing Goddess like this'
'then their union will take thousands of years.'
'I hope that'
'Tarakasur destroys this world before their child arrives.'
