Goddess! Look at her foot imprints.
[conch blows]
Where did this feather come from?
Whose is it?
Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.
- Shakuntala! - Lord Vishnu
and Goddess Lakshmi's.
What are you saying? What happened to you?
Please show me mercy, Goddess.
Please forgive me.
[music playing]
Forgive me, Goddess.
[music playing]
This footprint
is of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.
This feather
belongs to his disciple
their devotee.
'All that you speak can't be true.'
'It's been so many years since your son left you.'
'By now, he would've forgotten his way home.'
[screams]
The truth is that
whenever I used to speak ill
I used to see the divinity in that woman.
[music playing]
But I couldn't realise the truth.
So, it means that
gods visited us to resolve our troubles.
'Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi in front of my eyes.'
[music playing]
[song playing]
What I experienced that day was true.
It wasn't a dream.
[song playing]
Dear.
I was
given a hint of their true identity in the beginning.
But, I was a fool
to not recognise them.
[music playing]
I'm so grateful that
that
Lord Vishnu
and Goddess Lakshmi visited us.
They recited stories to us.
They ate food cooked by me.
I ate the feast prepared by the Goddess.
They stayed with us.
We are so fortunate and grateful!
We are so fortunate!
[music playing]
Brother, Sister-in-law.
The truth is that
I never wanted your son to return.
[music playing]
I was blinded by my greed for wealth.
[music playing]
But, now
I've realised my folly.
[music playing]
I'm ashamed.
Please forgive me if you can.
Sister, we are family.
And we are not bitter anymore.
[music playing]
Lord Vishnu
and Goddess Lakshmi have forgiven you.
[music playing]
- To Lakshmi-Narayan. - Praise be to them!
- To Goddess Bhagwati. - Praise be to her!
- To Lakshmi-Narayan. - Praise be to them!
- To Goddess Bhagwati. - Praise be to her!
My Lord, Goddess, my salutations!
[song playing]
Congratulations, Garud!
With your devotion, you have gained
the power to fulfil the objective of your life.
Yes, Shesha.
But
it wouldn't have been possible without their grace.
[song playing]
'By the grace of Adishakti'
'along with the priest's family, even I shall prosper.'
[conch blows]
'Now, I will be able to give the biggest joy to my mother.'
'I will be able to fulfil my biggest dream.'
'It will be such a wonderful moment'
'when the Lord officiates me as his mount.'
[song playing]
[conch blows]
[music playing]
'It's been a long.'
'I hope that the Lord commands soon'
'so that I can take him on a world tour.'
[music playing]
'I can understand how eager you are, Garud.'
'I'm excited too'
'to watch you become the Lord's official mount.'
[music playing]
'A slightly longer wait'
'and soon'
'I will be able to take the Lord on his first tour.'
[music playing]
'Did he wake up?'
'I don't think we should wait any longer.'
'I'll get ready so that his time is not wasted.'
[conch blows]
Greetings, Lord.
Gods! What brings you here?
We wished to see you, Lord.
We wanted to discuss some worldly matters.
Tell me.
[music playing]
'The moment that I've been waiting for'
'something that my mother has been yearning for'
'is coming closer.'
'O, Lord. When will my wish come true?'
'When will my mother's dream come true?'
[music playing]
Son.
[song playing]
You can't hide your sorrow from Vinta.
Then how will you hide it from me?
Mother.
Despite being Lord's devotee
I'm unable to serve him.
It hurts me so much
that I'm unable to express.
Goddess, till I become the Lord's mount
my life will have no purpose.
Being unsuccessful in my goals
is something that will pinch me a lot.
Dear, there's no doubt in your devotion.
To be honest
the undeterred commitment of devotees like you
yields strength to gods.
And that's how they become gods.
Dear, you must be strong.
Nothing happens before time.
I understand.
But, until that time
how do I make myself understand?
Hmm.
I have a solution for this.
Until you become the Lord's mount
why don't you learn more about him?
This is a great idea!
What can be better than learning about him?
Tell me.
Hmm. Do you know
that Lord Vishnu is not only the preserver of this creation
but also an agent of evolution?
What?
This creation was erstwhile vacant.
There was nothing.
Then, Lord Shiva was born.
He was complete.
But, he was calm.
His energy created Adishakti.
Their union gave birth to Lord Vishnu.
And then, Lord Brahma was born out of Lord Vishnu's navel.
There was only water in the creation.
Then Lord Vishnu killed the demons, Madhu and Ketav.
With their body parts, the earth was established.
Like Kadru told you.
In the timeline of evolution
life was created from water.
During apocalypse
Lord Vishnu was reincarnated as "Matsya" and made King Satyavrat
create a ship.
All species
insects, birds, and animals
were given a place on that ship.
Then, in the form of a fish
he pulled the ship
and saved them all.
After that, gods and demons were in conflict.
The divine powers were clashing.
At this point, to make the churning of the sea possible
he was reincarnated again
as "Kurma" that you witnessed.
After surviving in the water as a fish
it was time to survive both on land and water.
So, a tortoise could live both on land and water.
Goddess.
In the timeline of evolution
what was his next form?
It's not easy to be reincarnated, Garud.
Before taking up another form
a need must precede it.
Without the right reason and circumstances
a reincarnation can't take place.
So, for Lord Vishnu's next form
to prepare the right conditions
Sage Sankadik came to Lord Vishnu's abode.
Praise be to Lord Vishnu!
Stop!
[music playing]
Open the door, guards.
We are here to meet our Lord.
You're a kid but so stern.
Who are you all?
We're Lord Brahma's mind-born sons.
We are devotees of Lord Vishnu.
We are known as Sankadik.
No matter what your name is
right now, Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi are resting.
Come back later to meet them.
Leave now!
Between god and his devotees
there is no right or wrong hour, guards.
Gods always await their devotees.
Oh!
Why don't devotees wait for God today?
[chuckles]
[music playing]
Enough!
We want to meet Lord Vishnu right away.
Don't act childish.
You're young ascetics.
[music playing]
Yes, if you wish
I can give you some sweets.
[laughs]
Stop treating us like kids.
Enough!
We warned you but you didn't care.
Instead of honouring our request
you didn't allow us to meet Lord Vishnu.
Between a god and his devotee, you've been a hindrance.
You will have to pay a price for this.
You will have to bear this agony too.
Both of you are very arrogant.
Both of you are not fit to reside in Vishnu's abode.
Now, you must embrace death.
[music playing]
Huh.
[door opens]
Lord!
[music playing]
Salutations, Sage.
[music playing]
My Lord, Goddess.
We are fortunate to meet you.
Lord.
- Help us! - Save us!
Lord, rid us of their curse.
We won't be able to bear this curse, Lord.
[music playing]
But, I can't take back a sage's curse, Jay-Vijay.
- But... - If they have punished you
then you have to bear it.
But, we followed our duty.
Jay-Vijay, it's true that you're guards.
It's your job to guard the gateway.
But you must also judge
the person at your doorstep.
[music playing]
To meet his devotees
even the Lord runs to them.
But you stopped his devotees at the gateway.
It's a sin to disrespect ascetics, Jay-Vijay.
Since you've made a mistake
you must pay the price for it.
You're right, Goddess.
We have made a mistake. Please forgive us.
How will we bear this, Lord?
You're so compassionate, O Lord.
You rid people of their worries.
Please show us a way out of this.
[music playing]
'What an irony, Lord!'
'A devotee begging for mercy on one hand'
'and the honour of ascetics, on the other.'
'What will you do now?'
[song playing]
