'Code of conduct has its own rules.'
'Jarasandh, the king of Magadh was a brave and valorous warrior.'
'He could have chosen Arjun for the duel.'
'Had he fought with Arjun..'
'..it would have been impossible for Arjun to defeat him.'
'Had Arjun lost the duel..'
'..Yudhishthir's Rajsuya ritual wouldn't have taken place.'
'Had the Rajsuya ritual not been performed..'
'..the story of Mahabharat..'
'..would have ended in Indraprasth.'
'However, the code of conduct for the brave men compelled Jarasandh..'
'..to choose Bheem for the duel.'
'Which is why this wrestling duel..'
'..is a part of the backbone of this story.'
I, Krishna, and Bheem and Arjun, the sons of Pandu..
..greet all of you.
We convey this good news..
..that from today all of you are free.
Bheem, who killed Jarasandh, returns your kingdoms to you.
- Hail Lord Krishna! - Hail!
- Hail Bheem and Arjun! - Hail!
- Hail Lord Krishna! - Hail!
Hail Lord Krishna! - Hail!
- Hail Lord Krishna! - Hail!
Lord Krishna. Keshav.
Janardan. I beg your forgiveness for my father Jarasandh's crimes.
Allow me to perform the last rites of my father.
Sahdev, king of Magadh..
..you don't need permission to perform your father's last rites.
We had come to do our duty..
..and not to stop you from doing your duty.
Did you address me as king of Magadh?
Yes. Why not? You are worthy.
You are the rightful heir of Magadh.
Be successful!
"The prisoners were freed.."
"..and made independent."
"Thus the Pandavas made friends.."
"..and won their love and respect."
"Won their love and respect."
'With Jarasandh vanquished..'
'..the path for performing Rajsuya was cleared.'
'Leaving Yudhishthir behind in Indraprasth..'
'..the four brothers left for victory tour.'
'Bheem went towards the East.'
'Arjun went towards the North.'
'Nakul went West and Sahadev went South.'
'When kings welcomed them with bowed flags..'
'..friendship treaties were signed with them.'
'Those kings who were hostile were vanquished.'
'Soon, the four brothers returned from the victory tour.'
'Then preparations for Rajsuya ritual were begun.'
'All the kings were invited.'
'However, Yudhishthir thought it appropriate..'
'..to send one of his brothers to Hastinapur.'
'So Sahadev was sent to Hastinapur.'
'Bheeshma embraced Sahadev.'
'Kripacharya and Dronacharya blessed him.'
'Shakuni spoke very sweetly..'
'..and said it was good news indeed..'
'..that Yudhishthir was performing Rajsuya ritual.'
'Duryodhan was surprised by his uncle's behavior.'
Duryodhan!
What was the need for uncle to be so jubilant at the news?
It seemed as if, he'd been always waiting for this news..
..so that he could immediately rush to Indraprasth on hearing..
..the news of Yudhishthir performing Rajsuya ritual!
Whom are you asking this?
Uncle is not here and I can't answer for him.
I've always disagreed with him.
As if uncle was not enough, even father's joy..
..seems to overflow.
His happiness was not pretence.
Was uncle's happiness pretence?
Everything about him is false and deceitful.
Whom are you praising, Karna?
Karna, deceit is important for survival. Deceit!
Everyone fears the Pandavas after Jarasandh's killing.
But do not forget that..
..I've got many more unfailing weapons.
And, Duryodhan, if you don't have even a bit of smartness..
..learn to benefit from your elders' experience.
If the Pandavas perform the Rajsuya ritual..
..and you sulk and do not attend..
..everyone will call you petty minded.
Besides, they've already turned..
..Khandavprasth into another heaven and won the hearts of the people.
Do you want them to win over Hastinapur as well?
Uncle!
Hastinapur is not a plate of porridge..
..which they can lap up.
Karna, this is the difference between poetry and politics.
This is the difference. There can be no metaphors in politics.
Whatever exists is real and whatever isn't there doesn't exist.
- I was just saying.. - That is your fault, Karna.
Or else you'd have been a very useful person.
You talk too much and do not listen.
Karna, learn to hide your claws like a cat.
In my opinion if you've been invited, you must go there.
And if you do not have a smile, borrow it from me.
Do not forget this basic truth of life.
Do harbor envy, but never let your enemies get a hint of it.
This is my strategy.
If you adopt this strategy, you will sleep well at nights.
Gandhari.
Sleep now, my lord.
I wish to sleep, my dear.
But what can I do?
I cannot sleep.
Even the royal physicians have no cure.
Do you remember, my lord?
Vidur had once said that..
..insomnia affects three types of persons.
Someone whose adversary is very strong.
Someone who has lost everything.
And someone who is a thief.
Maybe I've got all three faults, my dear.
My powerful ambitions are now my adversary.
They don't let me feel happy on getting news of..
..Yudhishthir's Rajsuya ritual.
I am also the weak person..
..who has lost everything to Vidur's ethics.
And maybe, I'm also a thief.
Because..
..either I've stolen half the kingdom from Duryodhan..
..and given it to the Pandavas..
..or stolen their half and given it to Duryodhan.
Look at my helplessness, Gandhari.
I cannot even blame Vidur.
He's expert in righteousness and ethics.
My lord, why don't you learn to face the reality of your life?
Dear, I do wish to learn..
..but my heart is not set on learning.
I'm like the dry wood..
..which burns itself to keep away the winter.
But believe me..
..when I tell you..
..that I'm very happy on hearing about Yudhishthir's Rajsuya ritual.
'Everyone is talking about Yudhishthir's Rajsuya ritual.'
'All roads are leading to Indraprasth.'
'All the kings are going to Indraprasth..'
'..riding in their own chariots and flying their own flags.'
'Friends as well as foes are all here.'
'Hastinapur is represented in full force.'
'Dhritrashtra, Grandsire Bheeshma..'
'..Dronacharya, Kripacharya..'
'..Vidur, Duryodhan, Dushasan..'
'..Vikarna and Karna are all here.'
'From Dwarika has come demon-killer..'
'..Lord of the past, the present and the future, Lord Krishna..'
'..and his elder brother, Balram.'
'Jayadrath, king of Sindhu is here.'
'Recognize the flags and name the kings.'
'However, I am more interested..'
'..in Shishupal, the king of Chedi.'
'We have already spoken of him before.'
'Shishupal, the son of Krishna's second aunt..'
'..is on his way to attend his cousin Yudhishthir's..'
'..Rajsuya ritual in Indraprasth.'
'But, before he reaches there..'
'..it's necessary to listen to his story..'
'..because it's not enough to know..'
'..that he's Krishna's cousin.'
'His story is that his death was decided..'
'..on the day he was born.'
'Today, he is going towards his death.'
'This is his last journey in life.'
'So, let us glimpse at his first journey..'
'..because the future is born from the past.'
'So, let's go to the past..'
'..and do not be frightened.'
'I'll bring you back to this very place..'
'..because I never stray from the path.'
'I'm taking you to the royal palace of Chedi..'
'..where the child was born..'
'..who is today known as Shishupal.'
'Let's follow the story beginning on the day he was born.'
Mother! Mother!
Mother!
The queen has given birth to a demon instead of a prince.
O my God!
What do you order?
Queen, throw him away. - Yes, queen, throw him away.
O God! What kind of a test is this?
What kind of a test is this, Lord?
What kind of a test is this?
'Do not throw away the child. He will be a brave warrior.'
'He is the heir to the future.'
Tell me O God!
The child who is born like this, how will he die?
'The person in whose lap his extra arms..'
'..and eyes disappear will kill him.'
'One day, young Krishna and his elder brother Balram..'
'..went to their aunt's palace.'
Aunt, put the baby in my lap.
Why? I am elder to you.
Of course, you are elder.
Don't cry, sister. Don't cry.
God works in mysterious ways.
Do not cry.
Give me my nephew.
Come to me, my dear.
My dear. My dear.
Look how he is smiling.
- Come, dear. - No, dear.
It's my turn now.
Here, son.
- It's my turn now. - Yes.
Dear.
What crime are you going to commit, my son?
What crime are you going to commit that Krishna..
..will be compelled to kill you?
No! Krishna cannot do such a deed.
I won't allow him to do it.
What's wrong, aunt?
Krishna, will you kill my son?
Aunt, why do you ask me?
That's what the prophecy said.
The person in whose lap..
..the child's limbs and third eye disappear..
..is going to kill him.
Was this the prophecy or was it the answer to your question?
Yes, it was the answer to my question.
- But..- Being a mother, why did you ask about your son's death?
Wouldn't it have been better if you hadn't known this secret?
Will you really kill him?
If it is essential, I'll have to do it, right?
The prophecy never lies.
Do not be stone-hearted. He's your brother.
Won't you feel pity for him?
Of course I'll feel pity. It'll be an act of mercy.
How can it be merciful?
Aunt, it's called salvation. Salvation.
I don't know.
All I know is that he's my only son..
..and you're going to kill him.
Give me a boon, my child. Give me a boon.
I entreat you.
- Aunt, please don't do this. - I beg to you.
Don't do this.
I'm helpless. I'm helpless.
Till you give me your word I'll continue to plead.
What do you wish?
Every time he commits a crime..
..think of me and forgive my son.
Only Lord Shiva can grant such a boon.
However, I give you my word.
I'll forgive one hundred crimes..
..each of which would be worthy of death sentence.
"The Lord has forgiven a hundred crimes."
"Lord Krishna has promised release from rebirth."
"Promised release from rebirth."
'This child grew up to be Shishupal..'
'..who is now going towards his death.'
Krishna and Balram are on the way.
- Salutations, Aunt. - Salutations, Aunt.
May you live long!
Is everything fine in Dwarika?
Yes, Aunt. With your blessings, everything is fine.
Throughout the journey I was wondering..
..whether Subhadra has adjusted or not.
Here she is!
Did you see that? I'm the elder brother..
..but he gets Subhadra's affection.
It's too late to think about that.
I was talking to aunt. Aunt, now you have to decide.
The elder brother has first right to get respect..
..but the younger brother has the first right to affection.
Brother, did you hear that? Now let me talk to my dear sister.
There's no point in asking if you're happy or not.
You must be happy in your aunt's house.
No, Krishna. This house is no longer mine.
This is now the house of my daughters-in-law.
Okay. I'll ask again.
Is my aunt happy in your house?
Brother, this house is not mine.
It is my sister's house. I only serve her.
Did you hear that, mother?
She complains to her brother that I've made her a mere servant.
Ask your sister if I've harassed her.
Draupadi, you are talking as if you're not my sister!
In fact, you have been a sister even before her.
Yes. I agree with Krishna.
This is the first time you've agreed with me.
Hail the Queen!
Sage Vyas is on his way to the palace with other sages.
Let's go, aunt.
- Salutations, sage. - Salutations, sage.
May you be successful!
Live long!
May all your wishes be fulfilled!
Please be seated!
