Mahabharat

Subhadra!

Brother, are you alright?

Why wouldn't I be, Subhadra?

It was you who was drowning.

You've forgotten your brothers

and stayed for so long in Hastinapur.

I was afraid, Hastinapur had become your in-laws' place.

Brother!

You are the apple of my eyes, Subhadra.

Food tastes bland without you.

So, tell me. Are you happy?

How can I be happy, brother?

I was terrorized by that demon Kalyavan.

And brother, I was so worried for you.

When you are worried, you should meditate, Subhadra.

It helps immensely.

Besides, when one's protector is Arjun

one need not worry at all.

Krishna!

No one can protect you from me!

Look, Kalyavan is approaching us!

The other term for 'kaal' is death, Arjun.

There is not a moment when death doesn't approach a person.

Why worry about it, Arjun?

But

one must find time to talk to one's loved ones.

So, tell me, Subhadra. How is aunt?

I hope, she is well.

My heart yearns to seek her blessings.

If you wish to stay alive to seek her blessings

then draw your weapon, Vasudev!

Neither can my Sudarshan Chakra nor your arrows kill him.

He can be slain only by the fire of a sage's wrath.

So, what do we do now?

We shall run away.

Stop, Krishna! Why are you fleeing like a coward?

Face your doom!

Stop, coward!

Shepherd, stop!

Stop and face your death!

How can you flee the battlefield when death approaches you?

The future generations

will call you Ranchhod* and laugh at you! *One who leaves the war area or battlefield, another name for Shri Krishna, when he left the battlefield in war with Jarasandh so that Mathura could be saved from destruction, he then went to Dwaraka.

I know. The future generations

will refer to me by the name of Ranchhod as well.

And for that, I am grateful to you.

Now, quit talking and attack.

Krishna!

You said, your brother Krishna is a courageous person.

Then why is he running away in this manner?

You'll never understand my brother Krishna, Prince Arjun.

He must certainly have a plan in his mind.

Courageous men have only one plan

to defeat the enemy.

And here, I don't see Kalyavan getting defeated.

Kalyavan.

Hey!

Hey, shepherd! Stop!

Where are you hiding?

Krishna!

Show yourself!

Krishna!

Where are you hiding?

Krishna!

Instead of fighting me

he is sleeping here.

Wake up, coward!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Do accept my greetings, great sage Muchukund.

I have grown up hearing the stories of your valour.

Who was that

who, without any reason

got burnt to ashes by me?

Nothing happens in this world without a reason, great sage.

Perhaps

getting burnt by you

was his destiny.

And in order to reduce him to ashes

maybe the Almighty had motivated you

to leave your kingdom and meditate here.

Who can ever know?

But do pardon me for interfering with your meditation.

Now, you need not fret and can resume your meditation.

Are you happy now, Arjun?

Greetings, Vasudev.

No.

You need not seek my blessings

because you have a place in my heart.
