'Devaki's first son is about to be born..'
'..which means Kansa's death and Mathura's freedom..'
'..is just eight paces away.'
'Devaki knows this, but..'
'..her tears have misted her perspective..'
'..which is why she cannot see my presence..'
'..in the eternal darkness of the dungeon.'
'But I've always had two forms.'
'I'm Darkness as well as Light.'
'I'm Night as well as Day.'
'When, as Light, I'm in the womb of the horizon.'
'I also manifest as darkness.'
'The dungeon is dark, no doubt..'
'..but it's also true that the Sun of the new era..'
'..is a mere eight paces from this darkness.'
'The Sun is about to take its first step towards this darkness.'
'Even Kansa knows this secret!'
'But his arrogance has blinded him.'
'Even he knows that the heavens don't lie.'
'But his pride is determined to give the lie to this truth.'
'This isn't a guard..'
'..but a representative of Kansa's fate.'
'He's brought the news..'
'..that death has taken its first step towards Kansa.'
Victory to the King!
The jailor has sent a message for you.
Don't look at me accusingly, Devaki.
Accuse Brahma because.. He has made..
..your womb our battlefield.
What can I do, Sister?
I'm myself caught in this predicament.
Give me that son of yours.
No, I won't.
No.
I'll seize him if you don't give him over.
Our eighth son will cause your death, Kansa.
This is only our first son.
Why kill him?
A snake is a snake, friend.
Be it the first or eighth.
Do not become so heartless and so cruel, Kansa.
Fear God.
This child is your nephew.
No, not my nephew.
He's Brahma's first arrow aimed at me.
Brahma will send eight such arrows..
..all of which I'll destroy.
Even demons love their kin, Brother.
Don't try to weaken my resolve by repeatedly
..addressing me as brother, Devaki.
What a sister you are!
Don't you want your brother to live?
Why kill this child, Brother? Kill me..
..so that neither shall Devaki remain nor will the eighth son be born.
- Give me your child. - No, Brother!
- I'm telling you, give me the child. - No, Brother!
- Give me the child. - No, Brother!
- Give me the child. - No!
- Give me
No!
No! No!
No!
- Devaki. - No.
Brahma.
- Control yourself. - No!
No!
'The bloodstain that Kansa saw on the dungeon wall..'
'..was not a bloodstain..'
'..but the footprint of his own destruction.'
'And it wasn't Kansa who laughed at it..'
'..but his death.'
'And now he's coming to the dungeon again..'
'..to witness the second footprint of his death.'
No!
- Give the child! - No.
- No, Brother! - Out of the way.
Give the child!
- No! - Give the child.
No, Brother!
No! No!
No!
"There are six lamps."
"All the lamps are bright."
"There are two lamps.."
"..which are very strong and bright.."
"..very strong and bright."
What are you thinking?
That..
The child in my womb will be killed, too.
What a mother am I?
I have lost six children before my eyes..
..but I continue to live.
Await the eighth son.
I cannot bear it any more.
That's why I've come to take your foetus.
Take my foetus?
Yes, give your foetus to me..
..and stop worrying.
I'll never let the child fall in Kansa's hands.
Take him, Sister.
You've every right to him.
What are you saying, royal astrologer?
Even I'm surprised, King.
How could it have happened?
How did it happen?
Devaki was pregnant the day before..
..and today there's no sign at all.
- Could it be a miscarriage? - No, King?
Could it be..
..that she delivered prematurely?
The Princess' pulse doesn't reveal that, King.
Do you realise the meaning of this, royal astrologer?
What, King?
This means..
..that the unborn son scurried away in fear of Kansa.
Even the future is not that bold..
..to cross Kansa's borders..
..without Kansa's permission.
'Kansa doesn't realise..'
'..that he's laughing at himself.'
'His fate is playing hide and seek with him.'
'Kansa thinks that he can escape fate.'
'But only I know..'
'..that his fate will soon catch up with him.'
'And that day isn't far.'
'So, keep a close watch on Vasudev and Devaki.'
Be patient, Devaki.
Our wait is almost over.
I keep reassuring myself, son of Arya..
..but the mother in me doesn't understand.
I've already mourned the loss of six sons, son of Arya.
After hiding them in my womb for nine months.
After feeding them on my blood, what happened, son of Arya?
My brother comes and seizes the child..
..and there's one more bloodstain on the wall.
I no longer understand the word 'patience', son of Arya.
Under such circumstances, patience means courage, Devaki.
Just think that our supreme test is almost over.
Your womb bears our eighth son.
It's not that I don't trust the prophecy, son of Arya.
But I'm a mother.
I've the right to cry over my sons.
Don't stop me from weeping.
Do weep.
But within yourself.
Don't show your tears to Kansa.
Don't show your tears to him.
Okay.
I'll try my best.
But these tears don't stop, son of Arya. Don't stop.
Don't stop.
- Don't stop. - Hush, Devaki. Calm down.
Brother I cannot bear to see the Princess's sorrow.
She gives birth to sons..
..and in that very moment witnesses their death before her very eyes.
I'd neither heard nor seen..
..a king inflict such cruelty.
A brother killing his sister's offerings.
I cannot bear to look at the Princess.
And now the next child will be killed, too.
I wish we could do something.
Poor Princess.
No!
Don't cry, my child.
Don't cry.
Don't cry, my child.
Don't cry.
Be quiet, or your uncle Kansa will turn up.
Don't cry. No my child.
- No. - Let him cry.
Let him cry, Devaki.
No. Come, my child.
Let Kansa be informed..
..that out eighth son is born.
Let this guest of a moment be in my arms for a few moments.
Let me gaze at him to my heart's content.
No, Devaki, he's not a guest of the moment!
This is our eighth son..
..who'll vanquish Kansa.
There's no time to lose, son of Arya.
Kansa must have left the palace by now.
Let me gaze at my son's face before he comes.
Don't be afraid, Devaki.
'Vasudev..'
'..this boy..'
'..represents Man's bright future.'
'Take him across the Yamuna..'
'..to the village of Gokul and leave him..'
'..with your friend, Nandrai.'
But how will you go?
You're in chains.
Look, Devaki, our chains are broken.
What about the iron doors?
What about the guards?
What can I do?
The one who has released us from these chains..
..will take care of the guards and the iron doors, too.
Don't lose any more time, Vasudev.
Take this child and leave quickly.
Hurry up, Vasudev.
"The eighth day of the second fortnight.."
"..on Wednesday midnight.."
"..In the dungeon of Kansa.."
"..Krishna incarnate is born."
"Krishna incarnate is born."
"The Sun is in Leo."
"The moon rising high."
"The Gods are also singing."
"Softly and silently. Softly and silently."
Oh, God!
"The clouds shower the face.."
"..of the Lord with plentiful bounty."
"The lightning crackles across."
"To glimpse at the Lord's face."
"The sacred cobra fans its.."
"..hood to protect the Lord."
"What Mathura has lost through sacrifice."
"The Brij has gained."
"The Yamuna knows what the world does not."
"This is the Lord incarnated."
"Which is why the Yamuna's waters.."
"..swelled to touch the Lord's feet."
"To touch the Lord's feet."
"When, midstream Vasudev could bear it no longer the Lord.."
"..allowed the waters to touch his holy feet."
"To touch his holy feet."
Vasudev! Do come in.
Do come in. I was waiting for you.
How did you escape, friend?
The chains broke, the doors opened..
..and the Yamuna showed the way.
Here's Devaki's eighth son!
Come! Vasudev's eighth son!
Young Vasudev! Come!
Come to Nand, Son!
I'm grateful to you, Vasudev..
..that you should think of me in a crisis.
You've honoured me.
This is no ordinary boy.
He'll free India from Kansa's atrocities.
You and Devaki have fulfilled your duty by giving birth to him.
Now, Yashoda and I have to fulfil our duty.
Oh, Destroyer of Kansa! Accept my respects.
Devaki's son, your arrival has blessed this Yashoda's house..
..and this Braj.
How can you leave this house empty-handed?
Just a minute! I'll just be back.
Wait, friend. Don't go away.
It won't take long.
Vasudev, there's no time to think.
There's no time to think at all.
Kansa will surely come after listening to the news of child birth.
What will you tell him?
Vasudev, I'm your friend..
..Yashoda is Devaki's friend.
Today, she's given birth to this girl.
- Girl? - Yes.
Nobody knows about her birth.
Not even Yashoda.
Poor lady is still unconscious.
Then are you doing this intentionally?
So, do you want me to become Selfish that to protect my son..
..I'll sacrifice this girl.
No.
It's possible that Kansa might change his mind seeing this girl.
Vasudev, don't linger.
Listen to me.
I'll do as you say.
A man becomes blind in selfishness.
Vasudev, you're not becoming blind in selfishness.
That cruel, heartless, tyrant, Kansa..
..is blinded by his selfishness. Yes, he's the blind one.
He doesn't know his end, the result of his sins..
..the curse for his misdeeds.
Go, friend. Don't delay.
Go.
Yes, even for a moment, don't think that you're selfish.
This is the world's salvation.
"There goes little Nandini.."
"..and Nand Kumar has come."
"The betterment of the world wasn't.."
"..possible without this sacrifice."
"Without this sacrifice."
What happened?
Yashoda has sent her daughter in place of your son.
- Eighth son! - Eighth son!
King. King!
- What is it? - Glory to the King.
- Jailor. - Get him.
As you wish, King.
Glory to the King.
What's the news?
The Princess has given birth to a girl.
Girl?
She's given birth to a baby girl?
But that sage had said..
Nobody can kill me now.
I'm now immortal! I'm immortal!
This means..
that I needlessly put my favourite sister, Devaki..
..and my dear friend, Vasudev in the dungeon.
I killed their children.
I'll kill that sage.
- Present that sage to me! - As you wish, King.
Glory to the king.
You said that Devaki's eighth son will kill me.
Of course.
She didn't give birth to an eighth son.
This time Devaki gave birth to a girl.
She doesn't have a baby girl in her fate.
She's already given birth to her eighth son.
He'll kill you and free this world from your atrocities.
This is the supreme truth of this era.
No!
"The sword speaks on.."
"..behalf of the cruel Kans."
"In the end you'll be killed.."
".. by your own atrocities."
