Mahabharat

I am going away

to another home to become its fortune, father.

May fortune always reside in this abode of yours.

I pray to the Almighty for this.

Bless you! Bless you.

May you become the valour and motivation of your husbands.

May you become the basis of their righteousness.

Bless you, daughter!

I shall always be there to protect you, Draupadi.

And I shall always pray for your safety, Dhrishtadyumna.

Deeming the reverence towards you my wealth

I am leaving this place, Govind.

Keep protecting and testing

my righteousness.

Certainly, dear.

I have firm faith in you.

Do remember

that a husband's love reflects in his valour

and that of a wife

in her patience.

This also has another meaning.

In testing times, a husband must be patient

and a wife must display valour.

Go on, dear.

Because of you, the entire Kuru dynasty

will get cleansed and purified.

If you too would have accompanied us to Hastinapur

then it would have been wonderful, Vasudev.

My hands are tied, Yudhishthir.

I must return to Dwaraka.

I look forward to meeting you, Madhav.

We shall meet soon, friend.

Very soon.

But do remember something.

'Yato Dharma Tato Jaya.'

Victory is

where righteousness prevails.

'This is a difficult path'

'but it is my fate.'

'May I fulfill my vows'

'and that is all I pray for.'

'I am surrounded by uncertainties'

'but I must remain firm in my oath.'

'May it be successful'

'and this is what I pray for.'

Greetings, Minister Vidur.

Greetings, Vasudev.

I seek your permission...

Vasudev

a maiden

got married to five men!

Five?

The Pandavas are not five in number, Minister Vidur.

They are five forms of the same power

like the five faced Panchamukhi* Hanuman. *'Five-faced', a metaphorical representation of various traits or characters.

And them staying united

is in the best interest of everyone.

But Vasudev... - No.

There is no place for any doubt, Minister Vidur.

The Pandavas

have the strength to brave all challenges.

Granted that their life will not be all that easy

but I can certainly say

that it shall indeed be successful.

Be patient and follow the righteous path

to safeguard the throne of Hastinapur, Minister.

The Aryan region will experience a great turmoil, Minister

and the throne of Hastinapur

will be at the centre.

'Do you know how far you are from the throne'

'from where you are standing?'

'51 steps.'

'Do you know how I know this?'

'Because ever since I was born, my destination'

'has always been this throne.'

'The name of my son will be'

'Duryodhan!'

'My son! My heir'

'will be invincible, mother!'

'Every first born son is the heir to his father.'

'In order to inherit his father's property'

'the son of a shepherd need not wait to be anointed.'

'Father may have honoured the throne'

'but to honour its greatness'

'is a right he does not have.'

'Then what is the meaning of presiding over it, mother?'
