My mother had told me that
once Lord Vishnu asked Goddess Lakshmi the same thing.
Lord Vishnu showered her a scene.
In that a cow
was trapped in a muddy puddle.
A thief wanted to passby.
The thief stepped on the cow
and crossed the puddle.
That day that thief
found four gold jewels.
Then that same day
an old Brahmin reached there.
He couldn't bear to watch
the cow almost dying.
Despite being frail
he used all his energy and with a rope
he saved that cow.
But due to his effort
he fell unconscious.
He injured his knee.
But why so?
The wrong doer got rewarded.
And the one who did right, got punished?
Goddess Lakshmi also asked this to Lord Vishnu.
Lord Vishnu said
that that day immense gold was
in that thief's destiny.
But due to his bad deeds
he got only four jewels.
On the other hand
the Brahmin was destined for death.
But due to his good deed
he got away with a small injury.
Yamdooth, the lord of death, walked away.
Garud
you gave sharp answers to our questions.
You passed this test successfully.
I am impressed by you.
I wish to grant you a boon.
What does your heart desire the most?
Eat.
Just eat.
He didn't eat when mom is feeding him.
So stubborn!
Please accept a small token from me.
Please bless me.
'Why is he eating now?'
He is eating!
An order and a request. They differ.
One tends to rebel against direct orders.
But if one makes a humble request
the heart wants to accept it.
Keep your wisdom to yourself.
I just want my sons to return safely.
'He ate all of the curd rice.'
'Shanidev will be merciful now.'
'Everything will be all right.'
Nothing could make me happier than
you deeming me worthy of a boon.
Right now I have only one wish.
Please grant us permission to leave now.
So I can fulfil
aunt's task and return.
You would anyway get permission to leave.
You could have asked for something better.
You could have asked for your mother's freedom.
Forgive me, Goddess.
I was concerned
with what I have to accomplish right now.
Mother's freedom didn't even occur to me.
Garud..
Once again you impressed me with your deviation.
What you didn't ask for before.
You may ask for it now.
Thank you so much.
The truth it
my mother wants to fulfil her promise.
She won't back down from her word.
Till aunt herself
sets her free
my mother will not consider herself free.
If I truly want to set my mother free.
I have to impress my aunt.
No matter how difficult it is.
Or how long it takes.
You are amazing.
So is your mother.
I am good now, Tuma.
Me too!
You have given us a new life.
Thank you so much, Lord!
Thank your brother Garud.
He protected all your lives.
'Thank you, Garud'
Excuse us, Shanidev.
May your journey
be completed without any hassles.
May you be successful whatever you do.
Please accept my greetings, Goddess.
He cannot look up and see you.
But on his behalf, I am memorizing your face.
By narrating
his story so beautifully
you have won me over!
Whenever someone narrates his tale
I will only think of you!
It will be successful.
Goddess Dhamini's blessing will come true.
When all of you were my prisoners
your mothers made a temple for me.
They worshipped me.
Donated to Brahmins.
Fed the creature.
This is the fruit of their worship.
All of you can leave safely from here.
In this world
whenever a mother
tries to spare their children from me
by doing good deeds
I will spare their children.
All hail Shanidev.
Please have some more.
No thank you, dear.
I have eaten more than I could.
My mind is more than satiated too
with your humble nature.
You were happy to eat.
It is God's blessing on me.
Thank you for
accepting my invitation.
Bless you.
'Shanidev!'
I am impressed
with your worship
and how you have brought up your son.
You taught him good values.
You made sure
his soul is full of devotion.
He is always
thinking about your lessons.
Every deed of his
shines of your values.
I am sure he will be known
for his devotion to his mother.
for his devotion to his mother..
Not just for you
but the whole world will be better due to him.
On the other hand Lady Kadru..
Your sons are like
untamed wild animals.
They dared to attack my soldiers.
Then of course
your sons were injured.
Don't worry.
Garud took away their pain.
When I offered him a boon
he didn't care about himself.
He asked for the safety of his cousins.
Such is his character!
This means
my sons are safe.
They are safe for now.
Soon they will be back to you.
I am here to warn you, Lady Kadru.
What you sow, you shall reap.
You still have time.
Don't trouble Lady Vinta and her son.
It could be that
the consequences of your bad deeds
affect only you.
When you are on fire, it must have hurt.
Don't remind me!
We get to leave. Say good things only.
Where is Garud?
He was just here.
Where is he now?
You here hurt, despite me being there.
I tried so hard that no one get hurt.
I failed.
Forgive me, friend.
The creatures that aren't important.
Those that don't hold important positions.
The ones that everyone can see
but no one notices.
By serving those common folk
you have made an impression in my heart!
That is why
I want to grant you another boon!
From today
my retrograde gaze will have no effect on you.
Sister..
Our sons are safe!
They are all right.
They'll be back soon.
Shanidev himself assured us of it.
We must do as he says.
Are you going to tell me
what I should or should not do?
Don't forget your standing, slave.
Shanidev praised your son and you have become arrogant!
You dare lecture me!
No, my queen..
Don't waste time!
Go away.
Prepare to welcome my sons.
My brave sons are back from the grip of death.
They deserve a grand welcome!
Yes.
'Shanidev tried to explain it to her.'
'But she is ignoring him too.'
Garud, do not get us lost again!
Go straight
No more stops.
No breaks till Suryalok. Okay?
How did these sweets get here?
Didn't you eat them?
We ate our share.
This is the queen and her son's share.
'How did sister make such an error?'
'Not having offertory is an insult to the Gods.'
'Shanidev even warned her.'
'Perhaps Thats why she was worried'
'and forgot the offertory.'
My lord..
Sister and sons did it by mistake.
Please forgive them.
There was no reason for us to be scared.
Had I known that all Shanidev wanted was praise
I would have praised him upon reaching!
So different from other planets, right?
That is why he was sent so far away!
So ugly and so much anger!
How did he ever
get such a beautiful wife!
How dare they!
I forgave them!
I let them leave safely.
But these snakes
don't deserve my mercy!
And now!
Your mother
will have to suffer!
You'll will have to bear
my punishment!
You'll will have to bear
my punishment!
