Such a strange cold feeling!
Can you feel it, too, Your Highness?
I know you are a bird
and have the ability to sense the weather.
But we need to make haste now
before someone senses our presence.
One moment, Your Highness.
Something is amiss here.
Are you afraid?
Then tread faster.
And do not talk when we are inside.
Stay silent until I order you to speak.
What happened?
This is no statue, Your Highness but some Asura sorcery.
No need to be so suspicious.
This is a mere statue.
Come, I will show you. - No, Your Highness.
Your Highness, wait!
Your Highness!
Do not ever dare to attack
my stepmother!
Let us go, Your Highness.
That Garud defeated the gatekeeper!
Impossible!
The ambience here is nothing like I had imagined.
No need to be surprised.
Bali may be an Asura
but is very different than other Asuras.
He is a pious soul and very spiritual.
He is a great devotee of Lord Mahadev!
If King Bali follows Dharma
why are his subjects so cruel and ruthless?
A king only takes his subjects into confidence.
He does not impose his morals upon them.
In his kingdom, everyone is free to behave as per their nature.
Even he lives a simple life.
Excellent!
Now I will be even more glad to meet brother.
Do not forget.
He thinks of you as his enemy, not his brother.
You stopped his army from carrying out their duty.
You even slew some of his Asuras.
'I will somehow balance brotherhood and enmity.'
'I only hope my mother and my Naga brethren are safe.'
King Bali follows Dharma.
Then why did he try to foil Mother Aditi's penance?
Not all sons are like my Sheshnag and Vasuki
who choose between Dharma and their mother's wishes.
Bali holds his Dharma
as important as his mother's wishes.
He only did what my sister Diti wanted.
He may be the king, but the real power
lies with his mother.
Hence, to stop the war
we must appeal to his mother more than Bali himself.
'This Garud and Kadru are here!'
Why are you here, Kadru?
What is this bird doing here?
How did he get inside? Did the gatekeeper not stop him?
Greetings, King Bali!
Greetings, Mother Diti!
Greetings, Mother Kadru!
Kadru, why did you arrive unannounced?
Even you army arrived unannounced to my palace.
What did you think, Kadru?
That this bird
would fight and kill the Asuras
and I will not punish his audacity?
Pardon me, Your Highness.
You should have punished only me.
Why involve my mother, stepmother and my Naga brothers?
They need not get involved in this.
But they already are!
Your son Rahu threatened even me and not just Vinta.
That is why, our sons are fighting mutually now.
She and her sister provoked me, Your Majesty!
They both were helping this bird!
Diti, because of this Garud both our children are suffering.
Before anyone gets killed we must stop this war.
If you want this war to stop
it is certainly possible.
It is good
that you brought this bird to us.
Now hand him over to us.
Never!
'Mother Kadru is trying to protect me!'
'But why?'
Forgive me, Mother Kadru.
But can you satiate my curiosity?
Certainly, King Bali.
Few days ago you wanted us Asuras to kill the Garud.
Now when I want my revenge
you are stopping me.
Why, Mother Kadru?
What has changed ever since between us?
A lot.
Now he is no more a free bird.
Now he is my slave.
'Now he is my slave..'
A slave?
This bird?
Who defeated the greatest of our warriors?
Who chased away a great fighter like Vajrang?
Has he become a slave?
Moreover, of his stepmother?
'Give me tolerance, Mother!'
'To stablilise the mind, stablilise your thoughts'
'Whenever you get angry or agitated'
'think about your Guru.'
'Think about his teachings and his morals.'
'It will calm your agitation'
'and stabilise your mind in turn.'
Kadru, how can I believe
that you are speaking the truth?
He is the same Garud
who was not ready to budge after seeing Aditi in peril.
Ponder over it. If my words are untrue
he would not abandon his mother on the battlefield to be here.
He came here only upon my orders.
Because both, he and his mother are my puppets now.
I can make them dance to my tunes anytime I want.
What do you want, Mother Kadru? - Peace.
If this war wages on
your Asuras and my sons will both suffer greatly.
Do you know how this Garud defeated the Asura army?
But now, even my powerful sons have entered this fight
and the outcome of this war will only be destruction!
Warriors on both sides will lose their lives.
Hence if you give me your word
to end this war and to never harm my sons again
then even I promise you
that henceforth, this Garud who is my slave
will not pose any threat to the Asuras!
Your Highness, how could you make such a promise?
The Asuras attacked my mother and hurt my Naga kin.
Even you.. - Do not forget that you are my slave!
And a slave must not speak unless ordered to.
'I cannot let this Garud go without punishing him.'
So what have you both decided?
We await your decision, King Bali!
Just because this bird is your slave
it does not mean we will overlook his crimes.
He not only challenged the Asura army
but also the king of Heaven and my son, Bali!
He must be punished!
