Please tell us more. What happened after you reached the riverbank?
After reaching there, we saw rakshasas.
Really? How many rakshasas were there?
We couldn't see them. There was just...
They were 'smoky'.
How could we count them?
There might have been one or more.
- Really? - Is that so?
You must have been scared.
[snickering]
What are you saying?
I'm Kush, who can terrorise fear itself.
When I saw the deceptive rakshasas,
I vowed to save my brother, Luv's life
even if I had to risk my life.
I picked up my bow promptly
and shot arrows at all the rakshasas.
Oh! He was reduced to tears back then,
but now he is bragging.
- What happened next? - Tell us, Kush.
Nothing. Luv woke me up
and my beautiful dream ended.
[chuckling]
You cook up nice stories.
[comical music playing]
The moral of the story is that our mothers bring water
from far away painstakingly.
So, we decided to bring water to our mothers.
- Am I right, Luv? - Of course.
Luv and Kush, you both are courageous.
Now, water will be near our ashram,
and the rakshasas will stay away.
- Yay! Yay! - Yay! Yay!
[tense music plays]
Your Majesty.
Angada, what's the news?
Your Majesty, our army isn't large enough to cordon off the fort.
But, Your Majesty, please be rest assured.
I've vowed to kill Chandrabahu.
He kidnapped your daughter unnecessarily,
who is also the daughter of Kishkindha.
Angada, we must be quick.
We must invade this fort
before they attack us.
[horses neighing]
It seems the rakshasas will attack us, Your Majesty.
Soldiers, get ready!
[horses galloping]
- [conch-shell playing] - [song playing]
[theme song playing]
[joyful music playing]
He is Lord Shri Rama.
[theme music playing]
Lord, did you come here
to help me and Kishkindha?
I'm much obliged, Lord.
I'm gratified.
I'm not your Lord but your friend.
When I, a human, was in difficulty,
the vanaras came to help me. So, my friend, how can I hold back now?
[theme song playing]
Every woman in this world,
a mother, a sister,
a daughter, or a wife
must be respected.
My friend, your daughter is like my daughter.
We'll punish the one who dared
to abduct our daughter.
[vocalising]
- Your Majesty. - Hanuman!
The one who abducted Kishkindha's daughter won't be spared.
Lord, please command.
It's our duty to give them a last chance.
Please deliver my message to Chandrabahu.
Warn him that the king of Ayodhya is here
to punish him for his sins.
This is the last chance.
If he wants to stay alive,
he must respectfully return my friend,
King Sugriva's daughter, Trinavati!
[song playing]
This society
and world are unfortunate
because, in every wartime and peacetime,
friendship, enmity, love,
and every emotion, women,
and their existence, and dignity are always targeted.
Weaklings always harass women
to prove their power.
They abduct women to outrage their modesty.
During the war in Lanka, I said,
"This war isn't just for me. It is for all of us.
We must fight for the dignity of our sisters,
daughters, wives, and mothers."
Today, we'll fight a war yet again.
Every sinner can be forgiven,
but the harasser of women is unforgivable!
We'll surely punish Chandrabahu
for his sin.
- Hail Shri Rama! - Hail Shri Rama!
[conch-shell playing]
[Hanuman Chalisa playing]
Who are you?
I'm Lord Shri Rama's messenger and his servant.
I'm here to meet Chandrabahu.
Will you escort me to him?
Or do you want me to carry you there?
[tense music plays]
Welcome, vanara! What is your message?
[chortling]
I'm here to give you a choice.
You may consider it a message
or a warning.
Chandrabahu, you may choose.
My Lord Shri Rama ordered you
to either return King Sugriva's daughter respectfully
or get ready to die.
[chortling]
Did you hear him? Somebody who disrespected his wife
by succumbing to rumours
is lecturing me about respecting women!
He renounced his wife.
Chandrabahu, the world will soon know
the true story.
The truth is that your father,
Sahasramukharavana, orchestrated this drama.
[chortling]
Convincing,
bribing,
coercion,
and plotting.
The enemy can use every trick in the book
to win a war.
My father did the same.
You can also do that.
Go and spread rumours against my wife. Nobody is stopping you.
However, I know the truth.
Please tell me.
Somebody who renounced his wife to save himself
must be selfish and cowardly.
[dramatic music playing]
He left his wife in the forest to fend for herself.
How could he order another person
to return a kidnapped wife or daughter?
Insolent!
You dared to call my Lord a sinner!
You don't deserve a chance, but punishment!
"Hail Hanuman!"
Did you have your way?
Now go and tell your Rama
that no one in this world can kill Chandrabahu!
Because my wife's loyalty
shields me!
I'll be immortal
until she protects me!
[chortling]
Go and ask the king of Ayodhya.
Does his wife also protect him?
Or does she stay hidden in the forest?
[chortling]
[suspenseful music playing]
'My friend, I don't want the kingdom,'
'nor the world.'
'My friend, I just want my daughter. Just my daughter!'
'Sita!'
[dramatic music playing]
- [thunder rumbling] - [song playing]
[song playing]
Sita, it's just a physical wound.
- The wound in my heart... '- Lord, it's not just you.'
'I'm also aware of it.'
'I know that you're restless.'
[song playing]
Sita, somebody who vowed to uplift society
can't be at peace.
This is known as 'sanchita karma'.
Every person must fulfil it.
'Lord, fulfilling one's karma'
'and prioritising it, even while enduring'
'society's taunts and criticism, is extremely difficult.'
'Lord, I'm proud'
'of your victories over hurdles.'
Sita, sacrifice is the biggest penance.
I'm confident that both of us will be successful
in our life's journey.
[pitcher shattering]
Lord,
what is making you restless?
I'll consult Lord Valmiki
at dawn tomorrow.
Only he can resolve my confusion.
Lord,
Chandrabahu is invincible because of his wife.
He is shielded by his wife's loyalty.
Lord, I tried my best, but I couldn't get any clue.
We'll declare war at dawn tomorrow.
Hanuman, try to get information about his wife.
Father, what secret is Hanuman talking about?
What is the secret to Chandrabahu's death?
How is his wife protecting him?
Ganesha, Chandrabahu performed tough austerity to appease Lord Brahma.
He was granted a boon
because of his austerity.
What boon?
Ganesha, the boon was
that if Chandrabahu's loyal wife, Padmavati,
chants Lord Brahma's mantras non-stop,
he can't be defeated during the war.
Chandrabahu was granted one more boon.
- A second boon? - Yes.
The moon deity gave His ardent devotee, Chandrabahu,
a spear named Vardhaman.
It has the power to render anyone
motionless.
"The power to render a person motionless!"
Father, what is its antidote?
Ganesha,
- its antidote is me. - You?
[dramatic music playing]
Devi, those who are connected by karma
and are always ready to sacrifice for the betterment of the world
remain linked to each other through their emotions.
I feel that my Shri Rama is sad.
This worrisome feeling
is troubling me.
Please tell me.
How should I help him?
Lord, please guide me.
[sweeping music playing]
Devi, I discussed your problem with Lord Valmiki.
He advised you to fast and bathe
in the River Phalgu to alleviate your worry.
- A fast for the Phalgu? - Yes, Devi.
It's a tough fast.
Please stand in the River Phalgu for a few days while fasting
and chanting mantras.
Come on, Sita!
This time no power in the world can save you from my deception!
