Greetings, Prince Balaram!
You are welcome.
Excuse me, King Shakuni
my intent wasn't to insult my dear disciple Duryodhana or you.
No, Prince Balaram
we have no spite against you.
If you have to apologise
please do so to your dear sister Subhadra.
I didn't quite catch your drift.
Prince Balaram
if a flower, instead of adorning a deity's feet
graces the locks of a dancer
the happing doesn't insult the deity.
It's but the flower's misfortune.
King Shakuni!
Don't be angry with me, Prince Balaram.
I am innocent.
Do you know?
When Drupad's daughter
had to marry the five Pandavas
she had taken a vow
from these brothers
that they can surely marry a second time
but can't get their second wife
to Indraprastha.
There's just one queen in Indraprastha.
High Queen Draupadi.
No one else.
Now you can
decide for yourself.
Your dear sister Subhadra
will spend her entire life here.
But, yes, whenever Arjun wishes
he will surely come to meet your dear sister.
What dignity will she be left with?
The entire Aryan nation will mock at you.
You are my friend
and the guru of dear Duryodhana.
That's why I say so.
If you doubt my words
ask him yourself.
So hang, Prince Balaram.
Vasudev.
King Shakuni.
Prince Arjun, if what King Shakuni said is true
I can't put my sister in such an unfortunate situation.
Neither will I tolerate such insult to the Yadavs.
You have two options in front of you.
Either stay in Dwarka forever
or else, my sister
shall start off for Indraprastha right now, along with you.
Greetings, High Queen.
Prince Arjun is returning after completing his penance.
His Highness has ordered to be present at the town gates
to welcome him.
For the sake of the welcome of the new bride
he has also asked to bring along the veneration platter.
New bride?
Prince Arjun is arriving with his wife
Princess Subhadra.
Prince!
You have broken the marital vow!
You have shattered my trust.
You and your wife
don't have the rights to enter the town!
Panchali!
Panchali!
Panchali!
Greetings, brother Yudhisthir.
Be blessed, Arjun.
You have hurt Panchali.
I was helpless, brother.
Brother-in-law Balaram ordered me
that post the wedding
either I take Subhadra along with me
or reside in Dwarka forever.
And mother had ordered me to return to Indraprastha
and help you in the Rajsuya Yajna.
But what is the solution now, brother Yudhisthir?
Draupadi's words are apt.
Arjun's quandary is as legitimate.
Brother Yudhisthir, we must try to convince Panchali.
Come, Arjun.
I believe Panchali will surely heed to us.
'No matter where we live, there will be just one queen.'
'And that will be Princess Draupadi.'
'That's our vow.'
'We pledge that we shall always bide by our vow.'
Panchali.
Your orders, Your Highness.
Not an order, rather it's a request, Panchali.
Please think on the situation that has come up.
Stopping Arjun from entering the town
will be unfair to the town.
The town will remain incomplete without Arjun.
Without Arjun, my very life is incomplete.
Just for the sake of a vow
I have made my very life, a penance.
We all have.
That Indraprastha will have no other wife of you brothers...
It was the vow that you had taken.
Arjun can't break that vow
