Luv and Kush captured the Yajna Horse.
Will it face more dangers?
Didn't the deities
accept Shri Rama's yajna?
We face hurdles
while fulfilling our goals.
As far as the deities are concerned,
all the rituals and principles of a yajna
were decided by sages ages ago.
Deities must also abide by them.
These rituals
are the basis of a human society.
Does it mean the difficulties in Shri Rama's life
aren't over yet?
No, my dear Ganesha.
You shouldn't say that.
My deity, Narayana, took an avatar
as a human to endure suffering.
I drank poison just once during the Samudra Manthan.
However, my deity
suffers in different ways
every time
he takes an avatar.
Just like
I didn't let the poison affect my body.
In the same way, my deity
didn't let his sufferings
weaken his strength
of penance and principles.
Mahadeva, there's just one difference.
I used my power
to store the poison in Your neck.
However,
Raghav and Sita don't even have
the strength of togetherness.
[vocalising]
Did you find it?
Let alone a golden lotus,
I can't find an ordinary lotus.
We can't see clearly due to the fog.
Let's go closer.
Look!
Footprints!
[suspenseful music playing]
Please stop! It's a trap.
[screaming]
We must save our soldiers.
[intriguing music plays]
There are no lotuses here.
[dramatic music playing]
Luv! I found the lotus, Luv!
[bell clanging]
[theme song playing]
[theme song continues playing]
[joyful music playing]
It is definitely a lotus,
but not a golden lotus.
Som isn't with us today,
- but we are still facing difficulties. - Yes.
They are coming closer.
Where will we find the golden lotus?
Please move carefully.
We might be trapped again.
Kush,
are we forgetting something?
[suspenseful music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
Now that we have taken a dip,
we should find the golden lotus.
[intriguing music plays]
Luv, they are about to reach.
Let's hide underwater.
Kush, how long will we hide?
What if they search for us underwater?
Where did we falter?
If Lord Valmiki said so,
then the divine golden lotuses should be here.
Did anyone steal them?
Come on, Kush.
How could anyone steal a golden lotus?
They are protected by the king of yakshas, Kubera.
[intriguing music plays]
That is our mistake.
Guru Bharadwaja instructed us
to chant the Kubera Mantra.
[amusing music playing]
[Luv and Kush chanting mantra]
[dramatic music playing]
Let's head to the river.
They must have run towards the river to quench their thirst.
[Luv and Kush chanting mantra]
[Luv and Kush continue chanting mantra]
[Luv chanting mantra]
O, Goddess Tamsa.
Please help us.
Our mother is a part of nature
like You.
You are Jaldevi and our mother is called Vandevi.
Goddess Tamsa, please save us.
[Luv chanting mantra]
[Luv and Kush chanting mantra]
'Your sons must bathe in the river'
'to receive our blessings.'
'Protecting your children is our responsibility.'
[conch shell playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Luv!
Look!
[epic music plays]
This is the entrance
to Kubera's city, Alakapuri.
King Kubera, the king of the yakshas,
those disciples dared to stop
the Ashvamedha Yajna Horse of the king of Ayodhya,
Shri Rama.
On behalf of Shri Rama, the king of Ayodhya, I request
that you open this door.
[exhilarating music playing]
This place
must be Yaksharaj Kubera's city, Alakapuri.
It appears exactly
as our guru explained.
Luv, the palace entrance is open.
Let's go inside.
If we meet someone,
we'll ask them where the golden lotuses are.
[exhilarating music playing]
Rama rightly says
"Fear is the first step to friendship."
Yaksharaj Kubera, if you don't open the door,
you must get ready to face my arrows.
Please remember
that the arrows of the descendants of the Ikshvaku dynasty
never miss the target!
- [thunder cracking] - [Sanskrit mantra chanting]
[conch shell playing]
Greetings, Prince Shatrughna.
Greetings.
I'm not here to exchange greetings
but to nab the thieves of the Ashvamedha Yajna Horse.
Kubera, please hand those disciples over to me.
They entered your city just a while back.
Please forgive me, but how can I backstab them?
You know their identity.
Um, they aren't ordinary children.
They are invaluable
to me and the entire world.
[song playing]
I know this.
I know that they stole the Ashvamedha Yajna Horse
and hid it away.
It's my duty
to find the horse and help conclude this yajna.
Please let me go inside.
You're powerful, so please heed my request,
Please don't be difficult.
Yaksharaj Kubera, please don't forget
that you're posing an impediment
to Shri Rama's Ashvamedha Yajna,
who once assisted you in the past.
He saved the world
from the ire of the monstrous rakshasa, Ravana.
He saved you as well.
He helped you
reclaim your Pushpaka Vimana.
Is this the way to repay
his kind-heartedness?
Will you still protect the thieves
of the Ashvamedha Yajna Horse?
You're insulting Shri Rama,
defying his orders, and being ungrateful.
[thunder rumbling]
I remember everything.
Please try to understand my dilemma.
I'm in a fix.
I can't hand those boys over to you.
They aren't ordinary boys.
They aren't ordinary sage's sons.
That could be true,
but, Yaksharaj Kubera, I'm also in a dilemma.
Prince,
dilemma helps a person see their duties clearly.
If you enter Alakapuri now,
according to the rules of the Ashvamedha Yajna,
your entry would be considered
an attack on Alakapuri.
Please try to understand my predicament.
[suspenseful music playing]
All right, you may have your way.
But, Kubera, please remember
that the one who aids a thief is also a thief.
Those boys
can't be under your protection for long.
Those boys will soon confront King Shri Rama.
The entire world is waiting for that moment.
[song playing]
I don't understand Sahasramukharavana's deception.
His tactics are incomprehensible.
I feel like killing this horse right away
and completing my revenge.
[suspenseful music playing]
[melancholic song playing]
"Om! I bow down to Lord Brahma."
O, Lord Brahma!
You are the Creator of the universe.
You are the Giver of life.
You preside over all the yajnas on the earth.
Lord Brahma, I request You
to help me during this difficult time.
I, Rama, can't belong to anyone except Sita.
I can neither marry again nor renounce this kingdom.
The Ashvamedha Yajna must be concluded
to protect righteousness.
This idol represents my Sita,
and it couldn't recite mantras during the yajna.
If the deities are displeased because of that,
this yajna will fail, Lord Brahma.
Righteousness will lose.
Please help me, Lord Brahma.
"Om! I bow down to Lord Brahma."
Mahadeva.
Greetings, Mahadeva.
Greetings, Goddess Parvati.
- Greetings, Lord Brahma! - Greetings, Lord Brahma!
It's a difficult problem.
Nobody except You
can solve this problem.
Lord Brahma,
creation, life, and death
are connected to each other.
As soon as the thought of creation
originates,
life begins.
As life progresses,
death draws near.
Once death occurs,
a new creation begins.
However,
Dwapara Yuga and Kali Yuga won't begin anytime soon.
If Rama's avatar doesn't fulfil his karma in the current Yuga,
the ill effects
of rakshasas and asuras in Dwapara Yuga
will go out of hand.
Lord Brahma, in that case,
Dwapara Yuga will be equivalent to Kali Yuga.
And Kali Yuga...
It will be worse than hell.
So, Narayana's avatar, Rama,
must fulfil all his karmas
successfully in Treta Yuga.
As far as the safety of life is concerned,
only the Creator, Lord Brahma,
can protect it.
Death can't do that.
So, Lord Brahma,
only You can protect my deity,
Narayana.
[song playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Amazing.
This palace is made of gold.
[conch shell playing]
Welcome, disciples!
[chuckling]
I welcome both of you
to my city, Alakapuri.
What brings you here?
Greetings, Lord Kubera.
We set out to find Mother Sita.
But Lord Valmiki instructed us
to first fetch golden lotuses for our mother, Vandevi.
[chuckling]
Lord Valmiki ordered both of you
to make the impossible possible.
[tense music plays]
Listen,
please give us golden lotuses.
Please forgive me, but it's not possible.
[smirking]
Disciples, I advise you
to return to your ashram.
Start performing austerities.
Maybe you will get the golden lotuses in the future.
Listen up.
Lord Valmiki is omniscient.
If he ordered us to fetch the golden lotuses,
it would help us find Mother Sita.
We request that you give us the golden lotuses.
Otherwise, we'll snatch them.
Hmm!
Now!
You didn't just snap your finger,
you declared war.
We'll be compelled to defeat everyone
and get hold of the golden lotuses.
I'm ready.
Attack!
