Subhao!
Stay with Prithvi.
Yes, Queen Mother.
Hariraj!
Aunt and the royal priest will explain something to you.
Listen to them carefully.

I wonder who made this rule.
I don't know who made this rule
but I know why it was made.
After a king's demise,
their successor
is not permitted to be a part of their last rites
so that death does not come for the future king
and the new king lives long.
So that the kingdom does not have to bear the loss of a new king.
I had asked the royal priest.
But I came back with Father
to Ajmer
and the royal palace.
He wasn't alive even then.
Then why not attend just the last rites?
And not be able to see my father one last time?
What for?
[poignant vocalisation]
[mouthing words]
Prithviraj!
[sentimental vocalisation]
What happened, Hari?
Aunt
and the royal priest said
that I have to perform Father's last rites.
If I don't perform the last rites,
will Father stay here?
Right, Prithviraj?
He won't leave, right?
[poignant vocalisation]
I won't perform his final rites.
I don't want to do it.
As I said,
Father will always be with us.
[sentimental music playing]
He will never leave.
But they said I'll need to burn his body.
How can I set him on fire?
Father will be in so much pain.
When...
When we perform a 'puja',
the holy fire is lit.
Right?
Do you remember what Mother told us once?
Fire doesn't just burn,
it also purifies.
When you light Father's pyre,
it will purify him,
not cause him pain.
Really?
[sentimental vocalisation]
I'll guide you
as to when, what and how everything needs to be done.
All right?
When you perform Father's last rites,
I will feel
as if I'm right there
fulfilling all the rituals.
Through your eyes,
I will be able to see Father one last time.
Through your hands,
I will be able to pay homage to him.

[music fades out]
[poignant music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[plaintive music playing]
A warrior's life
not only lies in his body,
but also his weapon.
That is what your father always said.
Now, saying goodbye to His Majesty's sword
would be synonymous with saying goodbye to him.
It is time to perform the last rites.
Hariraj!

[Prithvi] 'First, the royal priest will give you some flowers'
'which you must place at Father's feet.'
"Aum..."
[Sanskrit chants playing]
[chants continue playing]
[chants conclude]
[poignant vocalisation]
'Then, a pot will be placed on your shoulder.'
'A hole will be made in the pot.'
[Sanskrit chants playing]
'You must circumambulate Father's pyre with the pot.'
[chants continue playing]
[water dripping]
"Aum..."
'After circumambulating, drop the pot behind you.'
[shattering]
[poignant music playing]
[fire crackling]
[music intensifies]
'Then you must light Father's funeral pyre.'
'Remember.'
'The fire only burns the body, not the soul.'
'The last rites are performed'
'to help the soul detach from the physical body.'

It was a conspiracy.
I was used as bait to trap Father
so that he could be assassinated.
[heartrending vocalisation]
I swear to Goddess Shakambhari.
I will not spare the traitors.
Father's murderers will pay for their crimes.
No matter who they are,
I will make them realise what a grave sin they've committed.
"Hail Goddess Bhavani..."
[eldritch music stings]
[music playing]
Welcome, brother!
Welcome!
[sinister music building]
[intense music playing]
Is everything all right?
[bangles clanking]
What is that stench?
[tense music playing]
Prithviraj, I can't sleep.
I keep missing Father.
'Sleep for a while.'
[singing lullaby]
You'll fall asleep, Hari.
Close your eyes.

As long as I am alive,
your dream shall also live.
I will conquer India.
For your sake.
I will fulfil all your dreams.

What happened there, son?
I thought
the enemy's army was approaching to attack us.
So, I went to size up the army
so that I could inform our army after returning to the royal palace.
But they were dacoits.
[swooshing]
'They took me captive.'
Mother, I think
I was taken prisoner
so that Father went there.
The dacoits had laid a trap.
[poignant vocalisation]
They killed Father by deceit.
Yet Father fought
very bravely.
I am sure he did.
[poignant vocalisation]
'Please don't worry.'
'I'll bring Prithvi back safe and sound.'
Tell me something.
When you left the royal palace,
did Shakti Singh come for you?
