Mahabharat

My competence is not my own, Lady Amba.

My competence is to serve Hastinapur

and the Kuru dynasty.

The credit and benefits of all my victories

go to Hastinapur.

A fisherman catches a fish and someone else devours it.

I guess, making a fisherman's daughter the Queen Mother

has given birth to such a tradition.

Princess Amba!

You shall be punished for your impudence!

Minister...

Be silent.

Let the princess speak.

Although her accusations are unfounded

her agony is genuine.

How can you decide

that my accusations are unfounded?

The offender has become the judge.

Bheeshma was following the orders of

the Queen Mother of Hastinapur, princess.

To make you the wife of Vichitravirya

and the queen of Hastinapur

I had sent Bheeshma to Kashi.

And you can still become the queen. - Never!

Now, marriage, husband and children mean nothing to me.

Now, I only want justice.

If I ever marry someone, it will only be with Bheeshma.

Forgive me, lady

but that is not possible.

I have taken a vow of celibacy.

And I am here to break that very oath, Bheeshma.

One has to bear the agony of hell for breaking a vow

and I want you to endure that.

You are the cause of all my agony and disappointment

son of Ganga, Bheeshma!

The agony I am enduring because of you

you will have to bear much greater agony.

I think, you seek not for justice but vengeance.

Yes! Vengeance, Queen Mother!

Revenge that has the accord of the society

becomes justice.

I shall not get any justice here.

But, Bheeshma

Your competence and the strength of your kingdom

doesn't permit you to commit sin.

I shall approach every Arya king

and confront you with a colossal army.

Let the princess go.

At the courts of these Arya kings

she will realise that

no one will help her fight Bheeshma.

Stop, lady Amba.

It is true that no one will dare to take up arms against me

and no one will listen to your plea either

but that would be unrighteous.

Whether the accusation is true or false

whether the offender is a common man or a king

but one ought to listen

to what he has to say with patience and objectivity

and his questions ought to be answered as well.

Only then can righteousness prevail in this world.

You should seek the help of my teacher, Parshuram.

And if

I am guilty

then only one person is capable of punishing me.

My teacher, Parshuram.

Lord Parshuram!

Where are you?

I have been looking for you for days, Lord!

You will have to appear before me!

Until you appear before me

I shall neither tire

nor give up.

Lord Parshuram!

Lord Parshuram!

I bow to the great Lord Shiva!

Lord Parshuram.

Lord Parshuram!

Listen to my plea, Lord!

Greetings, my Lord.

Who are you, lady?

What was your need to come to such a desolate place?

I have come to you for justice, my Lord.

Everyone says you have slain many Kshatriyas.

On 21 occasions on this earth

I had put an end to unethical and unjust people

I had annihilated them

but only in the end did I realize
