Call it my good luck
or your ill-luck.
It is not up to me to find the answer.
It is up to you.
Looking at your eggs, it seems
I did the right thing by asking for strong sons.
Now look..
My sons hatched from their eggs on their own.
They did not need any help from me.
But your sons..
I wonder if they are strong enough
to hatch on their own.
Or do they need your help?
'My sons hatched from their eggs on their own.'
'But your sons..'
I wonder if they are strong enough'
'to hatch on their own.'
'Or do they need your help?'
Why is this happening with me, Lord?
Why do I feel jealous when I see my sister's sons thrive?
Why are doubts about my own eggs creeping into my mind?
I cannot live with this dilemma anymore, Lord Narayan!
Please give me my sons.
Either end all hopes I have of being a mother
or give me a clear sign that
my eggs are not barren.
That my sons are growing inside them
and that they are safe.
Please tell me, Lord.
Please give me a sign.
The child is not even born yet
and you already see him as a enemy!
Such terrible betrayal towards your own sister!
You want to wipe out her son's existence
because you fear that he may be mightier than your sons.
Why do you believe so strongly
that he would be a threat to you and your sons?
Do you have no faith in your sister's goodness, her values
and her loving nature?
Oh, Lord! What deep trance are You immersed in
that You cannot even hear the plea of a devotee?
Neither do You see this mother's suffering
neither do my sons.
Why, Lord?
What did my devotion and motherly affection lack?
Is it possible that
my sons can hear me
but they are helpless.
Unlike Sister Kadru's sons
they may not be strong enough
to hatch out of the tough egg shells on their own.
I cannot sit back and admire these eggs anymore.
I am exhausted of waiting.
Even I want to play with my sons the same way
Sister Kadru plays with hers.
I must find out
if my sons are growing inside these eggs.
'What is taking your sons'
'so long to hatch from their shells?'
'Vinata, is it possible'
'that your eggs are rotten?'
'You went too far'
'in a bid to have a son.'
'Under normal circumstances, they would have hatched by now.'
'What if your eggs are rotten?'
'I wonder if they are strong enough'
'to hatch by themselves. Or do they need your help.'
If I want my sons to be the mightiest
and capable of defeating their enemies
what is wrong in it?
When Sage Durvasa favoured Vinata
was that fair?
When the Valkhilya Sages gave her a boon
that her son would be the king of the skies
my sons had already take birth
while Vinata's sons were yet unborn.
Was that fair?
All I want now
is what is best for my sons.
How is that unfair?
The ambition for your sons
to be mighty is not unfair, Kadru.
What is unfair is conspiring to kill someone's child
even before it takes birth.
You sowed the seed of doubt so deep in your sister's heart
that she is bent on harming her sons.
And if you have done that
then it is you
and your sons who must face the consequences.
If your conspiracy
leads Vinata to destroy her eggs
then remember..
You will be responsible
for the imminent downfall of your sons.
Oh, Lord Narayan!
What have I done!
I must stop Vinata.
I must stop her!
'Vinata, is it possible'
'that your eggs are rotten?'
'I wonder if they are strong enough'
'to hatch by themselves.'
'Or do they need your help?'
My sons have been waiting inside these eggs for 500 years.
They need me to help them come out.
They must see me, their father and the whole world.
I must fulfil their wish.
I shall do what Sister Kadru would do in this situation.
I have waited for 500 years. Not anymore.
I will see my sons at any cost.
I shall definitely help them hatch from the eggs.
My egg..
My egg is not rotten.
My son is about to hatch from it.
Arun!
My son born with the rosy glow of the rising sun.
What have you done!
You were so consumed by jealousy
that you let your son be born with a disability!
I shall never forgive you for this terrible atrocity!
Feelings of insecurity, delusion and jealousy robbed you
as well as your sister of all good sense.
You deprived me of the dignity I deserved.
I am incomplete!
You must pay for this.
You must endure
the punishment for your actions, Mother!
'His body is half-developed'
'and yet, the boy is so powerful!'
'The sky has turned a fiery red from his resplendence.'
'What if he curses me in a fit of rage?'
Son.. - Do not speak!
Every word that escapes your lips
at this moment
will strike at my incomplete body
and my broken spirit
even harder and only hurt me more.
You were so consumed by jealousy
that you lost your prudence to this extent.
You showed neither faith
nor patience.
You neither showed regard for the blessing
of the great Sage Durvasa
nor did you show regard for the holy Parijat beads.
'The one who wears these beads shall have a glorious child.'
You rendered the penance of the great Valkhilya Sages
completely ineffective because of your impatience!
'He shall be powerful!'
'He will be known as the king of the skies!'
Lord Vishnu himself gave you a sign
that your sons were alive, Mother.
But you were too preoccupied to notice it.
My brother tried to alert you of our existence
by calling out to you from within his egg.
'But you turned a deaf ear to his call.'
'Mother.'
'Son..'
You are right, son.
I made a terrible mistake.
Yes!
You did make a mistake.
Yes.. You made a mistake.
However, despite being innocent
I am the one who will have to
bear the brunt for your mistake, Mother.
It is a mother's duty
to protect her children.
But you are a mother
who brought harm upon her own son.
Ishall have to endure the physical
and mental trauma for the rest of my life.
Every time I look at my handicapped body
I will blame you for it.
You must endure punishment for what you have done, Mother!
I am suffering
unimaginable and unbearable pain.
You will have to suffer
the same way, every moment of life.
Your sister, under whose influence
you made me take birth
into this cursed life
that sister will torture you for the rest of your life.
And you will not be able to
disobey her even if you want, Mother.
I will never be able to fly freely.
Similarly, you shall never be free either!
The way I am enslaved by my disability
the same way
you will be enslaved by your sister!
I curse you!
Mother.
What have you done, son?
I did lose my sense of judgment due to anger and jealousy
but it was never my intention to hurt you.
Cracking your egg open was a mistake I made unknowingly.
And as a result of that mistake
I have received a terrible curse.
You would much rather wish death upon me than curse me so.
Anger is as much a sin
as greed
or jealousy.
I was so consumed by anger that I failed to see
your pain and repentance.
I could see you were jealous
but I failed to understand
you motherly instincts behind it.
I made a mistake too, Mother.
If only I could take my curse back..
That is no more possible, son.
No one can undo a curse.
This curse has opened the door
to endless suffering for me, son.
Terrible suffering
that I shall have to endure as long as I live.
There must be some way out, Mother.
Some solution.
There has to be something..
Mother.
You have been cursed by on of your sons.
But your other son
will free you from that curse.
It was your and father's wish
that your sons
set an example with their respect towards parents.
But my anger..
My anger deterred me
from this sacred goal.
And now, a boon..
A boon I grant shall mitigate my curse.
Your other son, who will be born after another 500 years
will move heavens and earth
to salvage you from your misery.
He will present such an example of benevolence to the world
that praises of his glory will be sung
for many ages to come.
When you cursed me
I felt as if my life had been
plunged into infinite darkness.
But by granting your brother the boon for a glorious future
you have shown me a ray of hope.
Son, I am confident
that you will be known, not by your flaws
but by your actions.
You will never lose hope yourself
nor let those around yourself lose hope
Now you must wait with faith and patience
for the next 500 years for my brother to take birth.
'The glory of your son, who will be'
'born by the grace of Lord Vishnu'
'shall be known far and wide.'
'He shall be mighty and wise.'
'He will be knows as the king of the skies!'
'You have been cursed by one of your sons.'
'But your other son'
'will free you from that curse.'
