My lord!
Look.. Look over there.. - My lord!
Help! Someone save my husband!
What is that? - I wish to see my husband!
'He is gigantic!'
No..
No.. Forgive me, please!
'How do I tell her'
'that I could not save Sage Somdutt's life?'
My lord!
'Oh, Lord Vishnu!'
'You did not let me fail in keeping my word.'
'You are ever so merciful!'
If I am alive at this moment
it is only because of you.
If I could be of any help to you at all
I would be more than happy to oblige.
There is something
that only you can do, Sage Somdutt.
Sure.
My mother and stepmother are
observing 'Jeevitputrika'' fast.
If you could give me some finger millet flour
Oh! Is that all?
Listen, bring him some, quick.
Thank you so much.
Goodbye.
'Why does the appearance of that form'
'feel so intimidating?'
'It is a death reaper!'
'So, that is who I have been sensing.'
'Am I hallucinating'
'or did he actually challenge me'
'that he will come back very soon'
'for my brothers too.'
'Oh, Lord Vishnu'
'protect us.'
'Please protect my brothers from this fate.'
Their condition is deteriorating, Brother.
What do you feel?
Will mother's fast succeed?
Kaalia, you cannot even imagine
the pain
an elder brother goes through
when he has to
tell his younger brother
that he does not have the answer to his questions.
This is the truth.
Kaalia
I..
I have never seen mother observe this fast.
I do not know what will happen tomorrow.
Brother, do you know?
If Dhumal could speak right now
what he would say? - He would say
that Mother Vinata is fasting too.
So, the chances
of the fast being a success
are much higher.
We always reprimanded him.
But we must accept that
Dhumal always spoke
only the truth.
Wake up!
I am yearning to hear your mindless banter.
I promise all of you..
I promise every one of you
that henceforth
I shall never trouble any of you.
None of you.
Please open your eyes.
I shall share your promise, Brother.
I will always stand by my brothers.
All of you
must recover soon, my brothers!
I hope you recover soon.
The both of them are drowning in sorrow for their brothers.
Sister Kadru must be devastated.
'Lord Surya has appointed Arun as His charioteer.'
Really?
Yes, Vinata.
Really.
'You can now feel his resplendence'
'light up the sky every morning.'
'And he will be able to see you too.'
I had forgotten
that if you can see Vinata every day
you must be able to see me as well. Am I right?
Vinata never blamed me, Arun.
But you must have felt so resentful of me!
Today, when I am devastated by the plight of my sons
I wonder why, I am reminded of you.
'Seeing how emotional Kadru is'
'my doubts have become more profound.'
'If she and Vinata complete their fast successfully'
'their sisterly bond might be restored.'
'If that happens'
'the consequences could be terrible.'
'No.'
'I cannot allow that to happen.'
'I must do something.'
Where is this smoke emanating from?
Anyone there?
Open the door!
'I just hope Kadru drinks some water.'
'That will be a violation of the Jeevitputrika fast.'
'Kadru's fast is about to be broken.'
Sister!
What are you doing?
Sister!
I apologise, Sister.
I was only trying to prevent you
from violating the rules of the fast.
Had you taken a sip of water, your sons..
The fast..
The 'Jeevitputrika' fast..
My sons!
Your sons are all right.
Your fast still holds true.
However
I apologise for manhandling and hurting you physically.
Please forgive me.
Mother Vinata!
How dare you?
Do you think
you can stare down the both of them?
That you can intimidate them?
That too
when your mother, a handmaiden, breached protocol!
She slapped his mother
the lady she is pledged to serve.
Enough!
Silence, everyone.
Kadru..
She, a handmaiden
slapped you and you want me to be quiet?
I forgive her.
She was protecting my fast.
I suddenly started
feeling very thirsty.
To be honest
I lost control.
Had Vinata not stopped me, my sons..
Why did you get so thirsty suddenly, Mother.
Where did it disappear?
What is it, Mother?
The smoke.
This chamber was suddenly filled with so much smoke
that I could not even breathe.
The smoke gave me a terrible cough.
The coughing made my throat dry and for a moment, I felt
that I am about to die.
Then I saw the jug of water
and for a moment, I forgot that
I am fasting.
Where did so much smoke come from?
What is done is done.
We cannot dwell on the past and forget the future.
We must focus on what we should do next.
The sun is about to set
and no one has bothered to arrange for offertory.
I apologise
for being late.
Fetching the flour from Sage Somdutt
was no mean feat.
'He brought the flour!'
Once again
'he has foiled our ploy and defeated us.'
'It was not easy to fetch the flour?'
'Why did he say that?'
It will not be easy to fetch the 'Noni' herb either.
But you must fetch it
before it gets dark.
I shall fetch it, Your Majesty.
Just tell me where to find the 'Noni' herb.
You shall have to fetch the herb from Sage Agastya's hermitage.
What is the matter?
Upon hearing that name
one of you was filled with apprehension
while the other folded her hands in respect.
Who is Sage Agastya?
'Garud is unaware of the powers of Sage Agastya.'
'If he decides to put Garud to test'
'it could put the latter in trouble.'
