What are you saying, My Lord!
How could you possibly have any flaw?
Garud, you see from the eyes of a devotee.
Women have perspectives that is unique
only to them.
When choosing a spouse
they will not accept
anyone lesser than themselves.
Very well, My Lord.
The Lady's 'Swayamvara' will now prove
that you have no fault or flaw.
There can be no man superior to you in the entire cosmos!
You are the most superior being!
"Narayan.." - Garud is right, My Lord.
You have nothing to worry about.
"Narayan.."
'This is enough, My Lady.'
'Please end this wait.'
I apologise.
I cannot marry any one of you.
'Only the asuras are left in the 'Swayamvara'.'
'It is decided then'
'that Lakshmi will be married to an asura.'
Why, My Lady?
The reason is
you have not yet conquered your anger.
How could I ever accept
someone with a vice?
She has found faults in the Gods and the 'Saptarishi'.
One look at us
and she will make a list of our vices as long
as Vasuki's tail.
We have recently formed a treaty with Gods.
Our honour and prestige will be tarnished
in front of them.
That will not happen.
How so, Mother?
Because in the eyes of Vishnu's dearest
we are too unworthy
to have earned even a glance.
It is right that the Lady has ignored the asuras.
They are not deserving of her kind gaze!
I did not know you have such dislike for the asura.
Brother, I have dislike for everything
that does not respect the Lady and the 'Dharma'.
I as well, Garud.
How can I choose between these Gods, sages and 'Gandharva'?
Some of them are great meditators
but have no self-control over their anger.
Some of them are knowledgeable men
but still remain completely unattached.
Father, some are even highly sacrificing
but sacrifice solely is not enough to achieve deliverance.
Some are even brave men
yet even they are not untouched by the effects of time.
Father, I believe
that everyone here
is ineligible to become my husband.
My Lord, how could the Lady say that!
This is too much!
Please say that you are eligible!
There can be no one more capable!
If you will not, I will tell her!
No, Garud.
Without knowing Lakshmi's image of capable and ideal husband
and whether or not I fit the criteria
I will say nothing to her.
Until she sees in me the qualities she wishes
to see in her own husband
our union is not possible.
She must express
her desire to have me as her husband.
Only then can I express my love for her.
Until this happens
I must suffer the pain of waiting.
'I feared this, My Lord..'
'That this 'Swayamvara' might make you upset.'
"Narayan.. Lakshmi Narayan.."
- Dear
I know by now
that you have a clear image
of an ideal man.
Do tell me
so that I can
find such a man.
"Narayan.. Lakshmi Narayan.."
'How can we find the omniscient being'
'who runs the entire cosmos?'
'This separation too was a play of Lord Vishnu.'
'There can no other reason that beings'
'called as 'Lakshmi Narayan' in one breath can be separated.'
"Narayan.. Lakshmi Narayan.."
The one I want as my husband..
And always stay so..
And I always have the privileges
of being a wife..
And always be
the only wife..
I want my husband to never love
or marry any other woman..
I want my husband to always have his splendour..
One who is unborn..
Immortal..
Who protects those who suffer
as well as the sages and priests..
One who establishes 'Dharma'..
One who is kind towards all creatures..
"Om.."
"Lord Narayan.."
In my eyes
in the entire cosmos
there is only one man
Lord Narayan.
I want him to tell me
what my place will be in his life.
Mother!
We have made a huge mistake, Mother!
Forgive us!
What are you two doing! Get up..
Why are you two apologising to me?
The truth is, Lord Dattatreya
visited us before he visited you.
Yes, Mother.
He was merely testing you.
That is the reason we tried to help you
every time you looked like you needed help!
It was then we found out that you have always been right..
And the wrongness our mother's treatment of you..
We too have troubled you a lot.
Forgive us, Mother!
We realise our mistakes.
You two need not to apologise.
I hold none of that in my memory..
Nor am I upset..
And that is your greatest quality.
You are too kind and merciful.
But our mother is not deserving of our.. - Enough.
Say not a word against her.
No, Mother, we are not scared of speaking the truth now.
We are not alone in our realisation.
Lord Dattatreya himself came to this conclusion as well.
That is the reason he has solved this problem.
What are you two trying to say?
Every time mother troubles you
a black mark will appear on her face.
Sister.. - No, Mother!
If our mother is to return to the path of righteousness
she must suffer this punishment.
Only then can she realise her mistake.
For this reason, we request you
to not let our mother find out about this..
And absolutely not about your freedom.
Yes, Mother, we know..
To be honest
the two of us also want you to be free from this torture.
But that will only happen if you tell no one about this.
Promise to us, Mother
that you will tell no one about this.
'Lord Dattatreya was right.'
'My days of peace have begun.'
'I wish I could share this happiness with my son.'
You can only have one place, My Lady
and that is my heart.
It has been waiting for you for a long time.
If you accept me
I will try to be capable of you.
I have many qualities, Lady
but the ideal man you search for
is not me.
Because I cannot become the greatest of all
without you by my side.
Without your companionship
I am incomplete.
Your companionship completes me.
Your smile
completes my zeal.
Your love
completes my strength.
Being your husband
would be an honour.
Praise to Lakshmi Narayan.. - Praise to them..
My Lord and Lady
you two were separated due to a curse I casted.
I seek forgiveness for that.
Your anger has been well-faring, Great Sage.
If you had not casted the curse
arrogance of the King of Gods, Indra
would not have shattered..
Asura King Bali would not have
attained his place in heaven for his good deeds..
Vasuki would not have gotten Lord Shiva..
And the cosmos would not have the elixir
it is soon about to get..
It is always 'about to get'!
You are humiliating us!
When will we get it!
Rahu, I have told you before
do not speak senselessly before Great Sage Durvasa!
Or you will leave this place with a curse
instead of drinking the elixir!
My Lady, since you have returned
kindly show some of your kindness to the Gods too.
Without powers, they have no peace
or happiness.
Thanks, My Lady.
Many thanks.
'Indra, be happy all you want.'
'Once I get my hands on the elixir'
'you and all the other Gods will meet their end.'
'Vishnu has once again discriminated against us.'
'I will not let the churning be complete this time.'
