Sahasramukharavana,
are you scared?
Did you come here to find out
if I weakened you
after killing your Uncle Bhaskarna?
[chortling]
Rama, I don't fear Bhaskarna's death
but your death.
I'd have been devastated
if Bhaskarna had killed you.
Because I want to be the cause of your death.
I was surprised
as you set out to fight with Bhaskarna alone.
But now I understand.
You wanted to get to me.
[grinning]
You wanted to confront me
somewhere far from Ayodhya.
Sahasramukharavana, if you want to fight with me,
come,
wield a weapon, and fight with me.
[chortling]
Rama, I always carry my weapons with me.
My mouth acts like a bow.
It's present in 1,000 directions.
My words act like arrows,
which pierce through a person's mind.
Lies are my footwear.
They erase the evidence of truth.
Doubt acts like a 'chakra',
which entraps sound judgment.
Mistrust acts like my spear.
It can stab at the heart of righteousness.
[chuckling]
Rama, speak up.
Do you have the ability to confront all these weapons?
Do you have the power to get rid of me?
Do you have the ability to kill me?
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
Ravana had a similar misconception.
I know, Rama. I know that.
You're a great warrior,
but I'm not as foolish as Dashanan Ravana.
He knew that it was impossible to overcome you physically.
He confronted you on the battlefield,
even though he knew Lord Indra supported you.
He should have used his brain
instead of physical power to win the war against you.
Rama, a lush green tree
can be easily chopped off.
However, I'm like the grass, which grows everywhere.
Grass seems weak,
but it's deep-rooted.
If you uproot me,
I'll regrow in a thousand places.
If you try to slay me, I'll turn into Raktabija.
I'm well aware of your power.
However, the poisoned minds of the people of Ayodhya
prove my power.
Sahasramukharavana, the darkness of lies
will be dispelled by the light of the truthful Raghuvansh.
The entire world has been hoping
for Rama's rule to take over,
but it will never prevail in Ayodhya, Rama!
Someone who attacks physically can be stopped,
but not someone who spreads rumours.
I, Sahasramukharavana,
can cause catastrophe
in Ayodhya with my thousand faces!
I'll fill the minds of your ministers and commanders
with greed.
I'll sow the seeds of mistrust
and discontent in the minds of your subjects!
I'll make your family members jealous!
I'll incite rebellion
in your kingdom!
Sahasramukharavana,
unrighteousness can never gain ground at a righteous place.
The poison in your mind will never affect my kingdom
because I'll tie you down
to this place right away.
[chortling]
Rama, you're late.
The arrow has already been shot.
You won't be able to save your wife Sita,
let alone the kingdom!
[thunder rumbling]
You can't save her from public criticism,
and accusations.
You can't even save your next generation
from dishonour.
When lies affect a family,
love and respect are the first things
to be undermined.
Rama, to tell you the truth, I won't kill you.
I intend to let you live
and enjoy your suffering.
I'll witness the end of your decorum.
When the entire world
would unite to say this,
"Rama's Sita is impious!
She is impure and loose!"
[thunder breaking]
[chortling]
Sinner, how dare you badmouth my mother!
- Hanuman! - [straining]
"Hail valorous Hanuman!"
We have had enough of your deception.
Now, you'll witness
the power of Mother Sita's son.
I'll kill you right away!
I'll put an end to your crimes, deception, and your lies!
Vanara, you're either innocent or extremely foolish.
Don't you know
if you give importance to unrighteousness,
it will strengthen?
The rumour spreads even more speedily.
Raghav's wife is impure!
[voice echoing]
Raghav's wife is impure!
[thunder rumbling]
[chortling]
Raghav's wife is impure!
- [chortling] - [thunder rumbling]
Sita!
[song playing]
Unrighteousness could be strong,
but my Shri Rama
will surely find a way to end it!
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
- Should they be hailed? - Yes.
However, Rama and Sita
shouldn't be hailed after what transpired.
'The entire world has been hoping'
'for Rama's rule to take over,'
'but it will never prevail in Ayodhya, Rama!'
'I'll fill the minds of your ministers and commanders'
'with greed.'
'I'll make your family members jealous!'
'I'll incite rebellion'
'in your kingdom!'
'Hanuman, please be mindful.'
'Don't tell anyone about Sahasramukharavana back in Ayodhya.'
'But, Lord,'
'we must alert the subjects.'
'I know, Hanuman.'
'However, after winning a war,'
'the subjects and the army want to celebrate.'
'They don't expect despair.'
[joyful music playing]
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
[song playing]
[song continues playing]
Rama has won wars before,
but this is the first time King Rama has won a war.
Mother, you should have seen
Rama kill that evil Bhaskarna.
He was neither on the earth nor the air.
Hanuman helped him do it.
Hanuman didn't fight the war like a soldier
but contributed fully as Rama's servant.
This victory was impossible without him. Right, Rama?
Lakshmana, please don't be so modest.
You hid your valour
while singing praises of my courage.
You vanquished Sanhardaman.
You even risked your life
in helping me kill Bhaskarna.
It's not just my, King Rama's victory,
but Ayodhya's victory.
Ayodhya will win every war
like this.
The war could be in the physical world
or an internal one!
[melancholic song playing]
Son, you came on time.
Yes, son. Sita's 'punsavan' ritual
will take place on the auspicious occasion of Basant Panchami.
You should be present during the ceremony.
Now that you're back,
the 'puja' will be done ritually.
Sure, Mother.
[joyful music playing]
[mellow music playing]
Don't be surprised.
They are yours.
Mother Kausalya gave them to me.
She said that the son should also play with the toys
his father once played with.
Lord, you forgot your promise
after becoming the king.
What promise, Sita?
The promise
you made to me during the wedding.
[vocalising]
We complete each other.
We should share our happiness
as well as grief.
Lord,
please tell me
what has dimmed your smile after the victory.
[song playing]
Sita, how do I say it?
Destiny and time are going to test us.
The future
is going to be difficult.
Lord, that's good.
Gold gets tested.
Lord, you're worried about the evil deceptive powers, right?
Guru Vashishtha told me
that some evil power is adversely affecting our kingdom.
It is poisoning
the minds and thoughts of the subjects.
'Rama's Sita is impious!'
'She is impure and loose!'
Lord, I know the power of thoughts.
One bad thought
might weaken all the good thoughts.
You're worried due to this reason, right?
Our guru also told me
that we can get rid of bad thoughts
with values, not weapons.
[melancholic music playing]
Sita, our guru is right.
Only the power of values can calm our minds.
However, it's not an easy task.
We can't smear mud over an earthen pot.
Similarly, we can't change the values of a person
once they are an adult.
Sita, we teach values to children
and give education to adults.
I'm going to do that.
I'll educate the subjects of my kingdom.
Because education is the only solution.
Lord, I completely trust you.
You'll surely fulfil
your vow.
[vocalising]
Sita, I can't do it without your support.
Your trust in me empowers me.
[song playing]
I'm your better half.
I'll always be with you.
Lord, both of us will handle this situation together.
Sita, we aren't two but three.
The proof of our love will also support us.
[song playing]
[conch-shell playing]
[Sanskrit mantra chanting]
[exhilarating music playing]
My dear, this is moonseed ash.
Please inhale it after taking a pinch of it
near your nose.
The smell of the moonseed will keep you and your child healthy.
[devotional song playing]
Rama, this medicine
acts like an elixir for a pregnant woman.
Sunlight supports life on the earth.
Similarly, this medicine nourishes the unborn baby.
It strengthens the soul
and the body.
A mother is the foundation of a child.
She is always concerned about her responsibilities
towards her child.
However, in addition to the parents, family members
must also commit to protecting the unborn baby
from the evils of society,
for the benefit of both the baby and society.
They must always be ready
to help in its growth.
[conch-shell playing]
[Sanskrit mantra chanting]
[conch-shell playing]
My friend, my clothing
has been stained.
- Oh! - Can it be removed?
It's the moss stain on the back wall of the Shiva temple.
The juice of the jambolan tree,
the oil of the earthen lamps, and the kohl.
This stain is a mixture of all those things.
It's a tough stain but don't worry.
I'll remove it.
Amazing! You recognised the nature of the stain.
You seem to be quite experienced.
A launderer's job is to identify the stain and remove it.
The dirty clothes of the entire kingdom are washed here.
I learn about the immoral activities of the richest people in the kingdom
by just looking at their stained clothes.
You're extremely experienced. It's obvious.
Then you must also know
whether only the clothes are stained or their character too.
We deal only in clothes.
We identify the stains on clothes
and wash them.
You're right, my friend.
Stained clothes can be washed,
but the blemish on a person's character can't be removed.
Especially, when the person is a female.
I'll take your leave.
Please be careful.
Please cross the river cautiously
because a flood is expected.
- All right. - You may collect it in the evening.
Great, my friend! You simply asked her to leave.
You didn't even instruct her to return before dark.
I don't need to. She always returns on time.
[sinister music plays]
King Rama and his subjects are peculiar.
You know the nature of society and are well aware of it,
yet you choose to ignore it?
Did you forget
that the blemish on the character of a female can never be removed?
You're pure but what about society?
If something happens behind your back,
how will you know?
Hey!
[suspenseful music playing]
Listen up.
Please return before sunset.
[indistinct whispering]
