Mahabharat

Mahadev, help us.

Parashuram's celestial axe and Bheesma's 'Brahmastra'

if the weapons collide then it will be

catastrophic for the entire universe, my Lord.

Mahadev.

Stop, Parashuram.

Bheeshma has passed your test.

If the two of you keep fighting each other

the entire universe will be annihilated.

But I have not yet got justice, Mahadev.

Then how can you stop this battle?

Lord Parashuram is bound by his promise, Mahadev.

Until my mind is not at rest

Lord Parashuram must continue this battle.

My Lord, fulfill this wish of mine.

I wish to see him dead, Mahadev.

I wish to be the cause of his death.

As it is a plea to Lord Parashuram

I must fulfill your wish.

But I cannot foster

the negative feeling of vengeance.

Aiming at a higher goal

or noble deed

when you wish the death of Bheeshma

you will surely become the cause of his death.

Then I do not wish to live.

But I shall be reborn

to have my vengeance.

Expunge your heart of this bitterness, Princess Amba.

I promise you...

When the day ordained by Lord Shiva arrives

I shall lay down my weapons when I confront you.

I do not require your generosity, Bheeshma.

I shall not forgive you.

Even after 25 years

I shall be born with the resolve to kill you.

The throne of Hastinapur for which you have ruined my life

you will strive day and night for that very throne.

The throne will never allow you

to sleep peacefully at night.

You will run

and the throne will make you run your whole life

and when your soul will be aged and fatigued

I shall come then

as your doom.

'Panchal Town of Kampawa.'

'25 Years Later.'

Shakti is finally born in the kingdom of Panchal.

Royal Astrologer, I am quite certain

that Drupada's queen must have

given birth to a daughter.

I have been awaiting the birth of this girl

for the past 25 years.

Ever since I have known

that a woman will be the cause Bheeshma's death.

I have been praying to the Lord

for that girl to be born

in our family.

A daughter is born, father.

All hail Goddess Mahakali!

My wish has been fulfilled, Drupada.

Bheeshma had insulted me

and our entire kingdom.

'Do not make the mistake of instigating me'

'otherwise the whole of Panchal will burn the way Lanka did!'

This girl will avenge the insult.

There is nothing more beautiful

than revenge in this entire world.

The birth of this girl child

has brought all the beauty of the world to me.

And that is why, this girl shall be

called Shikhandini

Royal Astrologer

what do the stars say about my granddaughter?

It was 12:07 PM today

when this girl child was born.

Rahu has a great influence on her fate.

This girl will surely be successful in carrying out

all the duties of her life.

But only after a great struggle

Struggle is the best teacher.

I will poison

this girl against Bheeshma!

I firmly believe

that this girl will be the cause of Bheeshma's death.

To ruminate over the death of Bheeshma

will be the sole purpose of Shikhandini.

The wishes and ambitions of ancestors

and also their anger, enmity and revenge

become the legacy of the future generations.

Parents try their best to give their children

all the happiness of the world

but end up giving them their agony as wealth.

They intend to give them love

but end up filling them with hate.

Think about it.

What have you taught your children?

You must have given them love, knowledge and wealth
