Garud, do you not know
how Vinta's life was
before you were born?
I do have a guess.
I travelled the 9 realms and reached paradise.
What?
Have you travelled the 9 realms?
How did you do that?
I did that with the help of these wings.
I flew all the way.
And I crossed 7 realms
and reached my goal.
Well, did you not face any difficulties in your travel?
Garud, did no one stop you?
No!
I got stuck in river Virja for some time.
After that, I reached paradise.
That is where I met Brother Shesnag.
Did Shesnag recognise you at once?
No!
But when he recognised me
he hugged me.
'Kadru and I had never thought'
'that this bird is so powerful.'
Garud.
What did Sheshnag tell you?
He told me
that aunt and her sons
forced my mother
to burst Brother Arun's egg.
'Do you not think that your eggs are rotten?'
'You can check that later.'
'If you want to see that now'
'we must burst the eggs, right?'
And for that reason
Brother Arun got angry
and gave a curse of slavery to my mother.
'The way I have become the servant to my helplessness'
'in a similar way'
'you will become a slave to your sister!'
'I curse you!'
'Garud has found out the truth about Kadru and her son.'
'It is not possible to fool him now.'
'If I have to save myself and my son,'
'I must tell him exactly what had happened.'
Brother Sheshnag also told me
that only Brother Arun's curse if not why my mother is a slave.
The condition in which my mother is today..
My aunt has a very important role
to put my mother in the condition she is today.
This is the truth.
Your mother was very sad after Arun was born.
She was half dead experiencing that pain.
She had almost turned into a stone.
I..
I do not remember it clearly.
Sometimes, I feel
even after staying in the egg
I was able to experience my mother's presence.
Whenever she used to come to me
I was aware of her presence.
You were already suspicious
of the people present near you.
That is the time when your mother
had succumbed to her sorrows
and lost her presence of mind.
'Arun!
'I am so unfortunate.'
'Neither was I able to nurse my child'
'and nor am I able to sing him a lullaby.'
'Even he is so far from his home and mother at such a young age.'
'Who would be taking care of him?'
I did not understand it back then.
But now, after listening to you, I feel
that whenever I had an unusual activity in my egg
I am sure my aunt was near me.
It could be sad
but, Garud, that is the truth.
When Arun met with that adversity
After that, Kadru had distanced herself.
However, after seeing your egg mature every day
Kadru started to worry.
And one fine day.
Mother, look what I have got for you.
I have got you
the most rare and the precious gemstones in the world.
Mother, do you know
how hard we have worked
to find and collect these gemstones for you?
Because we can do anything for you.
How can you have
such a silly ambition?
You both are my sons.
You are Queen Kadru's sons.
I'm dreaming about making you rule the paradise.
All the happiness and the opulence will be at your feet.
But you both!
You both are so happy about these tiny stones.
Vinta's son had got a boon
to become more powerful than Lord Indra.
But no boon
can stop me from getting to my dream.
My sons will rules this whole universe.
Queen Kadru's sons!
Am I hallucinating
or is this egg growing relentlessly.
His body is not completely grown.
But this boy is so powerful.
He has turned the whole sky red with his radiance.
Mother, that is a good thing.
The more powerful and big aunt's son will be bro from this.
We will be happier
to defeat him and swallow him.
Kaaliya, do not speak like fools!
Are you aware of the what a warrior lacks the most?
It is to underestimate his enemy.
We have to be very careful.
Very careful!
Mother, you do not have to worry so much.
Arun's body is already not developed.
And aunt!
She is desperate
to take her own life.
And when he will be born.
We will kill him!
What if you fail to do it?
Takshak, look at this egg carefully.
This has been developing from the past 800 years.
Because of all the nutrition
it has grown to such a behemoth size
that he has eclipsed the sun's rays.
The greatest sages on earth made a prophecy
long before his birth
that he will be born with immense physical power.
and will be destined
to attain unprecedented glory.
God alone knows
how mighty he will actually be.
Until and unless we have gauged
the full extent of his powers
we must keep Vinata alive.
She is the only one
who will keep her son in control.
And for this to happen, we must ensure
that we keep Vinata under our control.
Wonderful!
What foresight you have, Mother.
Neither does Mother Vinata have an answer
to your conniving moves
nor will her unborn son.
'When Kadru witnessed the might of Vinata's egg'
'she decided that very moment'
'she she must, by hook or by crook'
'take Vinata under her control.'
How long will you remain lost in the maze
of your mind, Vinata?
Come.
It has been so long since
we performed the evening 'Aarti' together.
I do not feel like it, Sister.
Then make yourself feel like it, Vinata.
You cannot make Lord Vishnu wait, now can you?
Let us go.
Your feet have been in water for two days now.
Look, they have gone numb. As if..
As if they are lifeless.
Vinata!
Arun does not even
have legs, Sister.
If..
If I am in so much pain
imagine how much he must have to suffer everyday.
Because of me, my son was born
without an fully developed body.
And now, he has gone so far away from me that
I cannot take care of him.
Sister..
How must he be getting by on his own?
Who would feed him when he is hungry?
It must be a struggle
to even get a few sips of water.
I apologise, Vinata.
I have been denying this until now
but the truth remains that
I am responsible for that mishap.
Had I not told you that I would never wait
500 years for an egg to hatch, maybe you would
never have cracked the egg prematurely.
That night, I had come to stop you
but by the time I reached..
I had already cracked my egg.
You had only made a suggestion, Sister.
I was the one who did it.
After Arun left
our husband had also asked me
to forgive you.
Sage Kashyap did?
And I will say the same thing to you
as I had said to him.
If we act on someone's suggestion
and end up doing something wrong
the one who gave the idea is not to blame.
We are.
It is I who failed to use my judgment.
Hence
there is no need for you to apologise.
I am to blame
since it was my responsibility.
I committed this grave sin.
No amount of punishment I give myself would be enough
to atone for it.
You are being unfair
not only to yourself
but also to your other son who is yet to be born.
We are mothers, Vinata.
And as mothers, we must be strong for our children.
For our sons.
Unless you are mentally and physically fit
you cannot look after your son to-be-born.
Look.
How much he has grown and how soon!
He shall be mighty!
Extraordinary powers
come with greater responsibility to harness and groom them.
His powers will come from everyone's blessings.
But it will be up to you to raise him to be responsible
so that he never misuses his powers.
He should not be ill-tempered
or arrogant.
For this, you must
keep him in control.
Am I right?
You are right.
I wanted to raise my son
to be respectful towards his parents
and imbibe their values.
But first
I must set a good example.
The way the parents conduct themselves
has a strong influence on the behaviour
of the child.
They mirror the parents' behaviour.
Thus, after she convinced Vinata
Kadru's behaviour
towards Vinata improved.
'She took care of Vinata.'
'She would tend to Vinata'
'day and night.'
'Vinata's health had begun to improve'
'but her mind'
'was still distraught for Arun.'
All will be well, Vinata.
All will be well.
'All must be well.'
'First, I shall nurse you back to health, brainwash you'
'and take control of you.'
'And then I shall control your second son'
'through you.'
'The day is not far'
'when my sons shine in like the sun'
'in the skies of my ambition'
'and take over the entire world!'
