The story of the Mahabharat..
..and the story of Braj cannot be compared.
And yet, without understanding this story..
..it would be impossible to understand the Mahabharat..
..because Lord Krishna is the Great Hero of Mahabharat.
Which is why..
..l have paused in Nandgaon.
So, sit by my side..
..like a disciple..
..and listen to the story.
l,too, will enjoy it.
l have been listening to this story for ages..
..yet,it gives me the same enjoyment..
..that it did before.
The story of how Vasudev..
.. brought his eighth son to Nand..
..Yashoda's love and Radha's adoration..
..of Lord Krishna's friendship with Shridhama.
See the story of the boy who came to be known as..
..Nandlal (Nand's son), Kanha, Krishna.. Yashoda's son.
..Neelmani (Blue skinned), Butter Theif, Murlidhar..
..Gopal (Cow-Tender) Manmohan (Heart Stealer)..
..and understand the essence of lndia.
Why don't you to take your friends to your house?
Yashoda thinks you do not steal butter.
Today l'll prove it to her.
Wait here l'll fetch Yashoda..
..and ask her whether she believes me or not.
Butter-thief..
What are you saying sister?
He is mischievous boy but not a thief.
We have enough butter so why should he steal?
So, come along and see for yourself.
Why should l? l Know where he is.
l am not going to listen to you today.
l have caught him red-handed.
Come in for a minute.
There is Kanha.
O my God!
My respects aunty!
l told you not to call me that!
When did you tell me?
But how's it possible?
Kanha. Play properly.
Throw it far. Balram and Shridama shouldn't catch it.
- You lost. You lost. - No. I'll play again.
- This is cheating. - No. That stick fell down.
- That stick fell down. - No.
- You caught it with your hand. - It is my turn.
- No. No, I'll play again. - Brother, see..
Wait, I'll give it to everybody. Wait, I'll give.
- Hit. Come on. - The one with long horns will win.
The one with long horns will win.

We were caught here the last time.
But we also escaped.
Aunty complained to mother but she did not believe her.
She will not complain agian.
Let's go.
What's wrong Malati?
Go in and see for yourself.
Kanha!
Kanha..your mother! Run!
Come down! Jump!
lsn't there enough butter at home?
Now l have realised that you are really a thief.

"Mother O Mother!"
"Mother O Mother! l did not steal the butter!"
"l did not steal the butter! Mother O Mother!"
"Mother O Mother!"
"At dawn l took the cows a-grazing ln the meadows of Madhuban."
"A-grazing ln the meadows of Madhuban."
"At dawn l took the cows a-grazing ln the meadows of Madhuban."
"I was playing my flute all the time."
"Mother, at dusk I came home."
"A little boy like me ,even on my toes Can hardly reach so high."
"Can hardly reach so high."
"The milkmaids are all my sworn foes Their complaint is a lie."
"Their complaint is a lie."
"Mother O Mother ! l did not steal the butter!"
"Mother you are so simple at heart To believe their gentle fun."
"l perceive a dark secret in your heart Am l not your son?"
"Am l not your son?"
"Mother O Mother! l did not steal the butter!"
"For a minor matter such as this You made me dance apart."
"You made me dance apart."
"Listening to him talk like this Yashoda held him to her heart."
"Yashoda held him to her heart."
"Mother O Mother! l did not steal the butter!"
"The flame cannot survive in milk butter or curds."
"The flame survies in butter only when clarified and heated."
What are you waiting for? Let's play.
How? Kanha is yet to come.
He won't be coming.
Don't you all tease him.
Yes, because he bosses over us.
- But we enjoy it. - lsn't that so?
- Tell? - Of course, we enjoy it.
When Kanha is here we all tease him..
..and he gets angry.
But yes, he does boss over us.
Balram has assured us that he won't boss over us now.
Yes Balram has said that if he bosses again..
..he will scold him.
Then let's call Kanha.
- Yes. - He won't come. He is sulking.
We will coax him.
Besides, Balram is here Let's see what kanha does.
- Let's go. - Let's go. Let's go.
Shridhama is to blame.
l don' know about that But he is Kanha's true friend.
He is restless without him.
Come Kanha let's play.
l don't want to!
Okay. You win we lose. Come on!
Come on Kanha! Listen to them.
Come on Kanha! Come on Kanha!
Come on!
Let's go! Let's go!
Yes.
Now you'll be caught Kanha.
O God! lt's my turn!
You are bossing again.
- What Did l do? - Liar!
l never tell lies.
Look He is bossing again.
No. l am not!
Now you're telling a lie.
l Did not lie.
l won't play with you.
Look Balram he is pressuring us.
He is a big man's son. So, he thinks he can boss over us.
- Really! - Liar!
Tell him l don't cheat.
How can say that?
You do cheat sometimes.
But l don't understand this trait in you.
We are an honest family.
Our parents are both straight forward.
Now l understand.
Our parents are fair but you are dark. Why?
l know why! You are not their son.
You are adopted.
You, too, have joined them?
Come Let's ask mother whether..
..l am her son or not.
l have my doubts Kanha.
l won't play with you all.
Kanha has run away! Kanha has run away!
Kanha has run away! Kanha has run away! Kanha has run away!
Kanha has run away! Kanha has run away!
"O Mother!"
"O Mother! My brother teases me so!"
"Were you bought he ask with mirth Or did Yashoda really give you birth?"
"O Mother! My brother teases me so!"
"O he is such a big bother."
"l cannot go to play."
"Keeps asking who's your mother And who's your sire, l pray."
"O Mother! My brother teases me so!"
"When your parents are so fair."
"When your parents are so fair. Why are you so dark?"
"My playmates all laugh at me. For them,it is a lark"
"O Mother! My brother teases me so!"
"Brother always gets off scot-free."
"Brother always gets off scot-free. But what about my plight?"
"Listening to him talk like this Yashoda smiled with delight."
"O Mother! My brother teases me so!"
"Pay no attention to Balram."
"Pay no attention to Balram. He likes to have some fun."
"l will swear on the sacred cow."
"l will swear on the sacred cow. You are my very own son."
Nandraiji! Nandraiji!
Come Narayandas. Sit down.
Two more cows have disappeared.
What happened?
The cows were at the river when..
..they fell in.
- Fell in? - Yes.
That's what l said.
What shall we do now?
lf this goes on..
..there won't be a single cow left in Nandgaon.
We should do something about Kalia Naag.
But what can we do?
That's true! How long can this go on?
Kansa made us leave Gokul..
..and now Kalia Naag will make us leave Nandgaon.
This, too, is Kansa's doing.
He has poisoned the water.
Looks like we will have to leave nandgaon.
Once we do that we will be outside the land of Braj.
Do not be disheartened.
Everything will be okay. Trust in God. He will protect us.
Kanha! Kanha! Where to Kanha?
l am going out to play.
Wait! l am coming.
Let's go.
He has come. Kanha has come!

How can l get it from the Yamuna?
l don't know! l want my ball.
From where will he get the ball?
He can dive into Yamuna..
..but l want my ball.
Okay! l'll dive into the Yamuna and get it.
Stop him Shridhama! Stop him!
Why should l? Let him get my ball.
But the Kali Naag! So many cows have died here.
Are you Kanha's enemy?
- Wait Kanha! Wait! - Kanha.
Are you mad Shridhama? He will be killed
Wait Kanha! Wait!
