Why did we send Garud for such an important task?
Stepmother Kadru would never have refused the deities.
However, would she listen to her servant?
Garud has gone there as a messenger
and not a servant, Lord Indra.
Sage, do you believe
that Stepmother Kadru will be able to give Garud the respect
that a messenger deserves?
You are doubting your stepmother unnecessarily, Son.
Like all of us, even Kadru is Lord Vishnu's devotee.
She will not create obstacles in his work.
'I should meet the saint my mother'
'and the queen were talking about.'
Did you see that, my Lord?
It seems that Garud will be blessed by Sage Dattatreya.
Garud!
Are you not late now?
Let us go, Queen.
'You should have met him, Garud.'
With his blessings, you would have succeeded, Garud.
However, you squandered this opportunity.
Mother!
'After what happened in this palace because of you'
'we cannot live here peacefully.'
'Listening to your unjust order and ignoring our conscience'
'is impossible for us, Mother.'
'Go wherever you want to go.'
Stay blessed.
Mother, how are you?
Enough.. You do not need to express concern for me.
I know how worried you are
about your family and your mother.
Brother.
Please accept the greetings
of your stepmother, Vinta's younger son, Garud.
Garud!
'He is embracing him'
'as if Garud is his brother by birth.'
Embracing you felt like I was in Aunt Vinta's embrace.
How is she?
Tell me, Garud.
'The thread of slavery!'
'So, Mother Kadru has enslaved Garud as well.'
We are here with a special motive, Vasuki.
Tell me. What do you want now?
With Lord Vishnu's blessings, the Ksheer Sagar
is going to be churned, Brother.
For that, Lord Vishnu
laid the foundation in his Kurma form.
Mount Mandarachal is acting as a churning rod.
Now, all the deities and demons
Lady Aditi, Lady Diti
Sage Brihaspati, Sage Narad
and even Lord Vishnu
wants you to act as the rope that wraps around the mountain
and help us with completing this task.
Marvellous! This is great news.
I will be honoured to perform this task.
Brother, I knew that you would not disappoint me.
Come. Let us hurry.
Vasuki.
Before you submit yourself to accomplish this task
I want to spend some time with you.
I want to talk to you.
Tell me. What do you want to say?
I want privacy.
When I reach there with Brother Vasuki
all the deities and the demons
will understand
that I can do everything. - "Righteous warrior, Garud!"
Upon seeing the thread of slavery on Garud's wrist
you considered me guilty.
You did not try to find out
that your brothers and I had to face
so many adversities because of him.
Takhtu, Dhoomal..
Your other brothers..
Only I know how I have saved their lives
from certain death.
What happened to my brothers, Mother?
You do not need to worry about them now.
The trouble was difficult to face.
However, I observed the fast of 'Jivitputrika'
and they were saved.
And now, I do not know
if this fast will be effective in the future or not.
Mother, what are you saying?
Do you even know
why this churning of the sea is being performed?
Garud said to unite Lord Vishnu and Lady Lakshmi..
That is the motive behind this task.
There are many other benefits.
The main reason behind it is to obtain the elixir of life.
'What is this? Now, through Vasuki, our mother'
'is setting a new trap.'
Brother Takshak, what do you think?
Will our mother be able to convince Brother Vasuki?
I am praying wholeheartedly for the same, Kaliya.
If Brother Vasuki does not listen to our mother
she will never meet him again.
Takhtu and Dhoomal
what do you think?
Will our mother be able to convince Brother Vasuki?
Why are you quiet? Tell me.
What happened to you two?
Why are you standing quietly?
Are you scared of that old man?
Tell us.
Speak up!
'Dhoomal, what do we tell them about Sage Dattatreya?'
'Do not say anything, Takhtu.'
'Our lives depend on our silence.'
The demons already have the knowledge of 'Sanjeevani'.
However, now..
Now, to prevent the deities from obtaining the elixir
they agreed to participate in the churning of the sea.
Think about it, Vasuki.
Think about it yourself.
Through the churning of the sea, if the demons and the deities
gain the protection of the elixir of life
what will happen to my sons, that is your brothers?
Who will protect them?
The elixir does not protect anyone, Mother.
Only God protects everyone.
With Lord Shiva's presence, everything is possible.
You are refusing to listen to me by using these arguments.
What is it, Mother?
Will you listen to me or not?
If it is not against righteousness
I will listen to you, Mother.
You cannot place a condition
while repaying your debt to your mother, Vasuki.
At least, tell me.
What do you want me to do, Mother?
Brother Vasuki should hurry.
People are waiting for him.
'First, Stepmother Kadru will destroy Garud's arrogance.'
'Then Garud will be left shattered.'
You will not accompany Garud.
Mother, how can you stop me from doing something righteous?
You should be proud
that your son has been chosen to attain a pious motive.
Vasuki, I would have been proud
if you had been invited respectfully.
Lord Vishnu invited the deities.
Sage Narad went to invite the demons.
However, to invite you
whom did they send?
They sent my servant.
How does that matter, Mother?
It matters, Vasuki.
It matters.
Since childhood, I have taught you all one thing.
(Sanskrit)
'Those who use their weapons to achieve their goals'
'succeed and enjoy the luxuries of this earth.'
'So, all of you have to become so powerful'
'that you can defeat everyone'
'and establish your rule over the three worlds!'
I have always had one dream.
My sons should be so powerful
and capable
that the entire world
bows down before them and me respectfully.
Until you are invited by them respectfully
you will not go there.
Mother, we should help Lord Vishnu
and not create obstacles for him.
I want the same, Vasuki.
I want the same.
And I am very pleased too.
However, until today..
Until today, I have not been given the respect
that Sister Aditi and Diti were given.
You know
that this world respects
only those who are powerful.
Until the deities ruled over the heaven
Sister Aditi held the most power.
"Hail Lady Aditi.. - Hail.."
As soon as the demons overthrew their rule
that power was held by Diti.
'Hail Queen Mother Diti.. - Hail..'
However, for the first time, I have the opportunity
where the problem is severe and only my son can solve it.
All of them have neither understood this power
nor respected me for it.
However, now..
Now, I will render them helpless.
I have always bowed down to Sister Aditi and Diti.
However, now.. Now, this world will bow down to me!
By sending that servant to invite you
they have disrespected my sons, the serpents.
However, now.. Now, they have to understand
that my sons deserve to have the elixir
as much as their sons do.
And if this does not happen
my son will not become the rope for this churn
the elixir will not be churned out
and Lady Lakshmi will not manifest as well.
'I am surprised'
that for her selfish wishes
'my mother can stoop so low.'
When I reach
the shore of Ksheer Sagar with Brother Vasuki
Rahu will be shell-shocked.
He was already praising me.
Now, he will exalt my virtues.
And Vajrang..
He loves to threaten others, does he not?
When he sees Brother Vasuki with me
he will be silenced for sure.
'Hail Garud, the son of Vinta! - Hail!'
You are here. We are late. Let us go.
You have to return alone, Garud.
Alone? What do you mean?
I will not accompany you.
My Lord, how is this possible?
I never imagined that my younger brother, Vasuki
will be beguiled by our mother.
He refused to accompany Garud.
In this world, you cannot attain
what you want easily, Shesh.
"Lord.."
You are thinking it to be an obstacle.
In the journey of the churning of the sea
it will become such a turning point
that it will be remembered for aeons to come.
By listening to his mother
Vasuki has not only added to his mother's humiliation
but he has also commenced such incidents
whose future impact
cannot be imagined now.
Are you refusing to accompany me?
How could you do this?
How could you be so selfish?
Talk to me, Garud.
Do not talk to my mother.
What is left to say, Brother?
By listening to your mother
you abandoned our righteous cause.
Who gave you the right to talk about righteousness?
You have always parroted what your mother taught you.
What else do you know about righteousness?
Do not forget that the one you are talking about
or the one you are questioning
has worshipped Lord Shiva for years.
What is the use of such worship
when you do not know whom you should listen to
and whom you should ignore?
Brother Vasuki
why do you not understand?
More time you waste
more the churning will be delayed.
The union of Lord Vishnu and Lady Lakshmi
will be delayed indefinitely.
Listen!
If you do not want the churning to be delayed
then go and give my message to the deities and the demons.
If they want my son to perform this task
they will have to come here
and plead to both of us.
Otherwise, I will not let my son
go with an insignificant servant.
'I will not let my son go with an insignificant servant.'
