Mahabharat

What is your name?

Vrushali!

Even we'll accompany you! - Even we'll come with you...

Take us along... - Brother.

Even we'll accompany you, Your Highness!

Let's take them along. - Even we'll come...

A city is not just made of bricks and mortar!

We also need people.

Even my friends are coming along.

All hail, King Yudhisthir! All hail, King Yudhisthir!

All hail, King Yudhisthir! All hail, King Yudhisthir!

I am not at peace, uncle!

Why should I spare them even a gravel of my land, uncle?

They are taking all the subjects along with them.

Why worry, my child?

People from the neighbouring provinces

will settle in Hastinapur.

I'll get people from Gandhar

and settle them here.

People will come and settle in cities.

Keep your mind calm.

Concentrate on the future plans, my child.

Think about your benefit!

Khandavprastha is barren!

Any human who ventures into this land

is killed by the serpent Takshak!

If Pandavas get killed by it,

then we benefit.

If the Pandavas kill Takshak

and establish a city there

we'll benefit by that too!

How will that benefit us, uncle?

The cuckoo bird lays its eggs in the crow's nest.

And when they hatch, the cuckoo bird takes away the hatchlings.

The crow takes the pain

but the cuckoo stands to gain!

So consider that

Pandavas are toiling

in Khandavprastha for you!

If a city is established there

we'll snatch it

from the Pandavas!

Now even the ageing guardian

has been defeated, my child!

Mother!

I see myself surrounded by just one question.

What sin have the ancestors of the Kuru clan committed

which has caused their kingdom to be bisected mercilessly?

What's the reason for it?

I am sure my question is flawed, mother.

Else, why aren't you appearing to eliminate my dilemma?

Tell me, mother. Tell me!

Whose righteousness is being slurred today?

Who has been defeated?

Who?

His Excellency Bhishma will be defeated!

'Who are you? Who invited you'

'to come here and manifest your might?'

'I have already accepted King Shalva as my husband!'

'You have won me by displaying your might, in the courtroom.'

'Now, I will be wedded only to Bhishma.'

'But this is impossible.'

'I have vowed to live a life of celibacy.'

'And I have come here to get that vow revoked, Bhishma!'

'You will have to bear a much graver pain'

'than the pain I had to bear because of you.'

'Whenever you are associated with a noble task'

'and you wish for Bhishma's death.'

'You will definitely be the cause of Bhishma's death.'

'If so, I don't want to live!'

'But I will take a rebirth.'

'And when the vagaries of age'

'would have worn you and your soul, out'

'then I will come.'

'As your death!'

'As your death!'

'As your death!'

Or shall I say that

His Excellency Bhishma is defeated?

The kingdom, for whose greatness you committed so many sins

today you had to bisect that very kingdom!

You're repenting for the sins

you committed in your life, Bhishma!

Had it been so, then I would've definitely repented, today.

But all my acts in the past

have always stood on the pedestal of righteousness, Amba.

I gave up my life, in my last birth, because of you, Bhishma.

During my last moments I had told you

'The throne of Hastinapur, for which you ruined my life'

'will make you struggle, day in and day out!'

'That throne will never let you be at peace!'

'You will struggle hard! The throne will make you do so!'

And even today, you are struggling!

If you haven't sinned, then why are you being punished?

This is the punishment for loving my family.

No, Bhishma!

It's the punishment for disregarding others

for your selfish love.

Your love for your family made you disregard the whole world!

You forgot, Bhishma.

That a hive becomes a curse for a queen bee!
