Mahabharat

Vishnu, who blesses the whole universe

requests for your blessings.

Accept me as your son, mother.

I am taking my son to Gokul.

He will be safe under the protection

of my friend Nand. - But...

But how, Your Highness?

The prison gates are locked.

A battalion of soldiers is standing outside.

It is raining so heavily.

The River Yamuna must have flooded.

Under such circumstances, how will we take

our new born son to Gokul?

No, Your Highness. No!

Who can stop the Almighty, Devaki?

Bless your son.

What a terrible night, Vasudev!

Yes, my friend Nand.

It is the most terrible night of my life

when I am asking my friend for such a great sacrifice.

You are not asking me for it, Vasudev.

It is time, which is asking for the sacrifice.

Before the sun rises

every night seems to be extremely dark.

But the sun definitely rises.

My wife Yashoda

has given birth to our daughter tonight.

Take her with you

and hand your son over, under my protection.

Please reconsider, Nand.

Possibly, Kans will kill your daughter.

In that case,

the whole universe would be beholden to my daughter.

Here, Vasudev. Take her with you.

Vasudev. Take her with you.

Your Highness, a boy has been born.

She is my friend Nand's daughter.

Daughter, Your Highness?

In that case, brother will not kill her, will he?

Devaki! Where is your eight offspring?

Your son. My nemesis! Where is he?

No, brother. It's not a son.

I have given birth to a daughter.

No, brother. It's not a son.

I have given birth to a daughter.

Daughter!

How is that possible?

Your eighth child

your son will be the cause of my death.

That was the prophecy.

How did you give birth to a daughter?

How is this possible?

I had told you to ignore the prophecy

and refrain from committing this sin.

You have committed the sin

of killing six infants, Your Highness.

God wants to show you the right path.

Hence, Devaki's seventh child was not born

and the eighth child is a daughter.

Give me your daughter, Devaki.

No, brother!

Do not be so stone-hearted.

What could my daughter possibly do to you?

Spare the life of at least one of my children.

Have mercy!

Foolish Devaki

had I not promised Vasudev

I would have killed you too, at this very moment.

I can't spare the life of your eighth child.

No matter if it is a boy or a girl

I have to kill it!

Give me the child! - No, let her go.
