'Problems do not end with coronation.'
'In fact, they begin with it.'
'Someone's being coronation is a very important event.'
'If the king is not careful..'
'..the event can be a disaster.'
'The border of the kingdom..'
'..being given to Yudhishthir is the line of division.'
'But why talk of bitterness in this moment of happiness.'
'However, the reality is that Krishna has specified..'
'..Khandavprasth as the land of action of the Pandavas.'
'So it must become the land of action of the Pandavas.'
'For this, Yudhishthir's coronation is necessary.'
- Greetings, mother. - Greetings, mother.
Draupadi, perform the lamp ceremony and apply vermilion.
Mother, you should apply vermilion.
Of course. Mother, it won't just be vermilion.
It'll be a blessing as well.
Arjun, my blessings are not constrained by any ritual.
After marriage, specific duties..
..should be divided between mother and daughter-in-law.
Some limits should be drawn..
..which the mother shouldn't cross after becoming a mother-in-law.
The foundation of a happy home is based on such limits.
It is Draupadi's right to anoint Yudhishthir.
As you wish, mother.
Bless you. May you beget sons!
Dear, perform the lamp ceremony.
Yudhishthir, as the king..
..it is your duty to protect Draupadi.
Your responsibility towards Draupadi is greater than your brothers.
Why talk of Draupadi alone, mother?
Aren't you, my brothers and all the people my responsibility?
No, Yudhishthir, I'm not your responsibility.
May God grant a long life to elder brother!
I'm his responsibility.
I have handed over you all to Draupadi.
Panchali, look after my sons.
But take special care of Sahadev.
Mother, they're your sons.
You'll always have a greater right over them.
I don't even know this family and its traditions very well.
How can I look after them without your help?
Bheem, escort your brother to the royal assembly.
As you wish, mother.
Mother, won't you come?
No, dear. You go.
I've never even seen the royal assembly.
When I'd come here for the first time my lord left for his victory tour.
On his return, we were sent away for rest.
There sage Kindam was accidentally killed.
My lord went into self imposed exile.
When I could not go to the royal assembly as the queen..
..why should I go there as Queen mother?
You go, my child.
Today is your day.
My heart is in the hermitage..
..where I shall sit and bless you all.
"Kunti gave away her rights.."
"..to her daughter-in-law."
"As the family tree increases.."
"..she does not show her grief."
"She does not show her grief."
[Sanskrit shlok]
Duryodhan should have come today.
I tried to persuade him.
But he's unhappy at losing half the kingdom.
Uncle, he has not lost half the kingdom but gained it.
Karna, that's a matter of viewpoint, right?
If the king permits, Prince Yudhishthir will present himself.
The auspicious moment doesn't wait for a king's order.
Salutations, sire.
May you live long!
Come, prince.
Please sit here.
You, too, sit.
Make the announcement, sire.
At the very start..
..I salute Lords Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
It's because of their grace that the people of Hastinapur..
..are happy and justice prevails.
Then I salute..
..Bheeshma, grandsire, disciple of sage Bhargav..
..and Brihaspati, and the son of Ganga.
He is righteous..
..and under his protection our beloved Hastinapur prospers.
I respectfully salute my ancestors of the Moon dynasty..
..whose heir I'm proud to be.
I respectfully salute the citizens of Hastinapur..
..who, in spite of my blindness..
..gave me support and co-operation.
In the presence of these people I announce..
..that I had no right to Hastinapur by birth.
I'm merely ruling as my brother Pandu's representative.
Hence, my every decision is in fact taken on Pandu's behalf.
So, on behalf of Pandu I announce..
..that this ancestral kingdom be equally divided.
One part will be given to Pandu's eldest son Yudhishthir.
The other part will go to my eldest son Duryodhan after me.
So, my ancestor Yayati's kingdom Khandavprasth..
..will be given to Yudhishthir.
The remaining part of Hastinapur will remain with me.
Grandsire Bheeshma, Vidur..
..and the members of this assembly are in agreement with this decision.
Yadavas, the maternal kin of Pandavas have also welcomed it.
I pray to the Lord..
..that Yudhishthir and his fame would turn Khandavprasth into heaven.
I also hope that Yudhishthir performs..
..Rajsuya fire sacrifice while I'm still live.
I am sure that under Yudhishthir's righteous reign..
..his people will be well protected and will live prosperous lives.
If the king orders..
..the coronation can begin.
You have to give the order, grandsire.
Sage Ved Vyas is arriving.
May you live long! Bless you!
May you be successful!
Salutations, sage Vyas.
This is Karna, the king of Ang.
Anyone in the three worlds with even a little bit of knowledge..
..knows this great warrior.
You're fortunate, Shakuni..
..that you're living in the era of this great warrior.
May you live long!
Salutations, sage.
Don't salute me, Krishna, speak of outcome.
May you live long!
Sister-in-law, the sage is here.
My blessing to you!
Salutations, sage.
May you acquire your right.
Life is an ocean and to churn it is your duty.
But remember you'll obtain both nectar..
..and poison from the churning.
Sage, you didn't bless Draupadi.
Her will power does not need any blessing.
My child, look after your hair.
Sire.
Salutations, sage.
King, you need not get up. Sit.
I merely came here for watching Yudhishthir's coronation.
Then why not perform the ceremony with your hands?
No Bheeshma!
It's not my task to crown somebody or remove the crown.
It is the right of the Guru of the clan.
Please be seated.
No, king. There is no seat for me here.
Why the delay, Kripacharya?
Khandavprasth eagerly awaits Yudhishthir.
[Sanskrit shlok]
Victory to king Yudhishthir! Victory to king Yudhishthir!
Salutations, uncle.
May you be successful!
May you be compassionate and just!
You and your brothers are going to Khandavprasth..
..but do not forget that..
..Khandavprasth, too dwells in my heart.
Salutations, aunt.
Today, I shall pray to Lord Shiva..
..and ask for only one boon.
Though this kingdom has been divided..
..this family should never be divided.
I'll do my best.
If your blessings are with me..
..I'll never allow this family to be divided.
May the Lord..
..make your every night a full moon night.
May all your dark nights come my way.
I have learned to live in darkness.
Salutations, sage.
King, you need not come to me.
If I had no blessing for you why would I come here?
Salutations, grandsire.
Son, I too have been divided along with this kingdom.
Do try to protect..
..the honor and rights of your people, my son..
..so that history can be proud of you.
You're the legacy as well as the heir of our glorious past.
As a warrior it is your responsibility to protect it.
A warrior's life is not for living..
..but to die fighting for human rights.
Salutations, guru.
You five brothers are the pride of a teacher.
So, king Yudhishthir, today I'll teach you the last lesson.
A warrior should look to the battlefield only as the last option.
Victory is not the warrior's only aim.
War should be waged to protect peace and values.
I am sure..
..that you'll never go against the code of conduct of warriors.
Guru, I give you my word that I'll always do my duty as a warrior.
So, start your journey on the path of prosperity and progress.
- Salutations, guru. - Be victorious!
My blessing!
Salutations, uncle!
Won't you bless us, uncle?
Sire, in this court I'm not your uncle.
I'm Hastinapur's Prime minister.
Here I can only give you my best wishes.
Uncle, I can't leave without your blessings.
I'll come for your blessings..
..where you won't be a minister but our beloved uncle.
I am a son of three mothers.
The first is queen Kunti
The second. Queen Gandhari
The Third. Hastinapur.
On this auspicious occasion..
..I bow to my third mother Hastinapur..
..and ask for her blessings.
I may be the king of Khandavprasth..
..but I'll always be Hastinapur's son.
Victory to king Yudhishthir! Victory to king Yudhishthir!
'This story now moves towards Khandavprasth the land of action..'
'..of the Pandavas.'
'People from all four castes accompanied him..'
'..because they know that Hastinapur's soul..'
'..is leaving for Khandavprasth along with Yudhishthir.'
'Krishna and Balram.'
'Dronacharya and Kripacharya.'
'Bheeshma is also going for auspicious ceremony.'
'Of course, sage Vyas was also there.'
'Who else would perform the ceremony? '
'I, too, am going there..'
'..along will all of them, if only to find out..'
'..why Lord Krishna described Khandavprasth..'
'..as the land of action for the Pandavas.'
'Because he never speaks without reason.'
'This means..'
'..some miracle will definitely take place there.'
'The struggle between nature and man will be worth watching.'
'The hard mountains of Aravali.'
'The leech-infested forests. Infertile land.'
'Even Lord Indra would be terrified at the sight of such..'
'..a barren and desolate land.'
'What message can the clouds bring to such..'
'..a burning and parched land? '
'But what would the Gods know about labor? '
'Only man is capable of hard labor.'
'Even nature knows of this.'
'So, every hill of Khandavprasth..'
'..is watching them.'
'Every tree has opened its arms..'
'..and is waiting for the people to come.'
'Warm breeze is sending the herons to welcome them.'
'But the people of Demon and Naga tribes..'
'..wait with bows drawn.'
'They won't let anyone encroach on their land.'
Is this a blessing or a curse from the king?
Be quiet and keep watching.
Can't you see that even Bheeshma himself is quiet?
Don't talk about him. His oath restrains him.
The Pandavas are to be respected.
They accepted whatever their uncle gave.
Do you see any sign of worry?
How is your land of action?
Krishna, this is now our respected motherland.
As to how we look upon it..
..listen to my story.
When we were young..
..Guru showed us a bird on a tree as our target..
..and asked all of us what we saw.
We all answered him.
I also did!
I could see nothing more than the bird's eye.
Krishna, today, I am in a similar position.
Everyone is talking of barren land, forests and mountains.
But I'm surprised. Where are the mountains?
Where are the forests? Where is the barren land?
Krishna, I can see nothing but your blessing. Nothing else.
Then, Arjun, salute Lord Indra and begin your work.
As you wish.
Be victorious, Arjun! Be victorious!
May the Lord Indra help you! May Lord Sun bless you!
Start your work after the veneration.
Son, may you be successful!
[Sanskrit chant]
"With the blessings of Lord Krishna.. and the plough of Balram."
"The land of action experiences a new thrill."
"With the blessings of Lord Krishna.."
"Balram's plough cuts through the Earth."
"Plough cuts through the Earth."

"The clouds release their bounty on to the Earth."
"The clouds release their bounty.."

"The clouds release their bounty.."
"The clouds release their bounty, turning the land green."
"Turning the land green."
"Beautiful gardens spring up all over."
"Clean rivulets flow through.."
"Clean rivulets.."
"..bringing crystal clear water."
"Bringing crystal clear water."
"The Earth is like a dream come true."

Come, sire.
Allow me to leave.
How can I let you go?
I haven't even thanked you.
I have only done my duty.
I need not be thanked for that.
- Salutations. - Salutations, gods' architect.
Come, sire.
How is the land of action?
Krishna, it is all thanks to you.
No, sire.
No. One can help you to achieve anything.
Man has to overcome his problem himself..
..with hard work..
..and then sow the seeds of his dreams.
You have established your kingdom.
Now think about protecting it.
Won't they leave us alone even here?
Why not?
I am going to Hastinapur.
I will explain it to Duryodhan.
He is very good natured.
Brother, won't you come to Dwarika with me?
Krishna, now you've grown up. Don't depend on me.
I've already asked aunt Kunti.
Then you must go.
Bheem! Why don't you come with me?
Duryodhan has an excellent cook.
Brother, I'm all right here.
Brother, do remember us while you are eating.
And spoil my lunch by thinking of you?
Why did you talk about the kingdom's defense?
Arjun, one of the lessons of politics is..
..to be friendly with neighboring kingdoms.
If a king refuses to be friendly..
..make friends with his neighbors.
Then both his borders will be unprotected.
What should I do?
The bond of marriage happens to be very strong.
But make sure that Shakuni doesn't find out about your plans.
So, try to go out alone.
If you take an army, everyone will know.
Indraprasth.
Indraprasth isn't the end of your story.
This is the end of a chapter.
Arjun, do not be misled by the silence.
A storm is brewing on the other side of the silence.
- A storm? - Yes.
The storm of Duryodhan's injured ego.
"When the enemy is silenced.. by humiliation."
"The first indication is.. the silence before the storm."
"Do not aspire for kingdom."
"Aspire for a true friend."
"Friendship will increase with love."
"That is true victory."
