Time is ruthless.
Had he waited for a moment
he would've met Goddess Parvati.
He had been waiting for her for so long.
And Goddess Parvati
was so excited to meet him
to give the news of an imminent childbirth
and share the joy of it, but
on not finding Lord Shiva in Kailash
she must've been so hurt.
[music playing]
Accept my greetings, O Lord!
[music playing]
[wind blows]
What are you up to?
[song playing]
Everything in Kailash tells me
that you were eager to meet me.
But, when I'm finally here
you're not here to meet me.
[song playing]
Why, O, Lord?
Where are you?
'Goddess Parvati was waiting to meet Lord Shiva.'
'On the other end, Gajasur had'
'sworn to get a boon with his brother.'
No matter what happens
don't let Lord Shiva leave.
Lord Shiva is innocent.
He will agree with us.
But Lord Vishnu...
[music playing]
...he's very clever.
If he finds out, then he can make our plan unsuccessful.
He cheated us earlier.
If Lord Shiva returns
then it might be impossible to get hold of him.
Hence
at any cost
we have to compel him to reside
in our abdomen.
[music playing]
If you manage it
then you will become immortal.
And we, brothers
will become the most powerful demons.
The control over all the three worlds
will be in our hands.
Nandi.
Where is Lord Shiva?
'How do I tell her that he's gone to meet his devotee?'
[chants]
[thundering]
[chants]
The blood-red sky
and furiously blowing winds
[music playing]
are signs of something inauspicious.
[chants]
[waves crashing]
[chants]
[thundering]
[music playing]
[conch blows]
[music playing]
Lord Shiva!
Accept my salutations.
Your penance is over, Gajasur.
Apart from immortality
you can ask for a boon.
I want two boons, O Lord.
Firstly
my body must constantly emit fire
because of this, no god, goddess
demon or celestial being
human, spirit or sage
can ever touch me.
[music playing]
So be it!
My second wish, O Lord
is that
you must reside in my abdomen.
[music playing]
This shall be your abode hereafter, O Lord
for eternity.
[music playing]
[conch blows]
How could he even dare to ask for such a boon?
The entire universe resides in Lord Shiva's abdomen.
That's why Goddess Parvati
stopped the poison from going down the throat.
If the Lord resides in someone's abdomen, then
the creation will be destroyed.
Lord Shiva tried to explain the same thing to Gajasur.
But
at the time of destruction
your mind gives up.
So, did that demon
not agree with Lord Shiva?
[music playing]
What happened after, O Sage?
Penance is a ritual
that can render the Lord helpless too.
When a sage
vows to offer water before sunrise
even the Sun God has to finish his circumambulation
and be present on time.
This is the rule.
This discipline has kept the world harmony...
Gajasur's wish was not right
but Lord Shiva was helpless
but to reward him for his penance.
But
he had requested Gajasur.
'If this is your wish, Gajasur'
'then I will fulfil it.'
[music playing]
But you must give me time.
Goddess Parvati is returning to Kailash after a long penance.
Not finding me there
[music playing]
will make her restless.
[music playing]
To be honest, I want to meet her too.
[music playing]
[song playing]
Even if my union
is momentary.
After meeting her
even if I must return.
Goddess Parvati is my power.
[music playing]
'This disconnect with the Lord'
'is making me restless.'
'I must meet her.'
'Forgive me, O Lord.'
'But if I let you go'
'then it can cause me a grave problem.'
'I value my life.'
[music playing]
You've given me a boon, O Lord
and you must keep
your promise.
[music playing]
From this very moment
you will have to reside in my abdomen, O Lord.
On hearing Gajasur's demand
the entire creation was in commotion.
Everyone was thinking
that if Lord Shiva fulfils Gajasur's demand
then how will Lord Shiva meet Goddess Parvati.
'When I wished for you to be my husband'
'I had taken up a penance for hundred years, O Lord.'
'To bear a son'
'will I have to wait for so long, O Lord?'
Forgive me, Goddess Parvati.
'Forgive me, Goddess Parvati.'
Something bad is about to happen.
Something terrifying.
Something destructive.

[explosion]
[song playing]
[lion roars]
Nandi, what's happening to her?
The love contained within her
has turned into fury!
The goddess is taking up the enraged form of Durga.
[lion roars]
If she is not stopped
then nobody can save the world from destruction.
[music playing]
Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, present yourself!
When the Goddess scorns
then who shall protect the world?
Calming down Parvati's anger,
is only possible for Lord Shiva, Lord Brahma.
[music playing]
He's in Gajasur's abdomen.
Who will calm her now?
I don't know how to calm her down.
[music playing]
We have all witnessed
the separation of Lord Shiva from Goddess Parvati.
All beings were in chaos!
It was a dance of rage
that brought the world to the brink of destruction.
Goddess Parvati is the other half of Lord Shiva.
She is his power.
When she gets angry,
what could happen,
is beyond my knowledge.
[music playing]
O, Goddess!
[lion roars]
You have the details of every minute.
Where is Lord Shiva?
[music playing]
Gajasur asked Lord Shiva for a boon
compelled him
to turn into a stone
and reside in his abdomen.
[ululating]
[explosion]
Gajasur!
- Gajasur! - [laughs]
[song playing]
Calm down, O Goddess!
Give up the anger.
We're all your children on this planet.
Think about them.
Your rage will destroy everything.
Calm down.
You're so ruthless.
[music playing]
You're the operator of this world.
Yet, you did this injustice to me.
You gave me the boon,
but my husband,
you didn't protect your friend Lord Shiva.
[song playing]
You're aware, O Goddess.
Nobody can come between God and the devotee.
Not even me.
But I was devoted to you as well, Lord Vishnu.
[conch blows]
My devotion impressed you too.
Then how did this obstacle come up?
You're aware, Lord Vishnu
that Lord Shiva and I are incomplete without each other.
Neither can he live without me
nor can I.
You have made this mistake, Lord Vishnu.
'You have made this mistake, Lord Vishnu.'
Now, you will have to rectify it.
You will have to bring Lord Shiva back.
[thundering]
Goddess, I...
How can I?
Find the answer to why and how.
[music playing]
But, I will tell you when.
After the holy bath
and before my worship gets over
if Lord Shiva doesn't return to me
[music playing]
then I won't wait for you.
I will kill Gajasur and
free my husband.
[thundering]
Remember! [ululating]
If I'm compelled to do this
then the oceans will dry up.
[song playing]
The mountains will turn into piles of ashes.
The earth will emit fire and it will rain blood!
If I'm compelled to take up my raging form
then this world will be destroyed, Vishnu!
[thundering]
[song playing]
You're aware that
my raging avatar
can be controlled only by Lord Shiva
not even me.
[song playing]
What did Lord Vishnu do?
Gajasur's first boon was that
nobody can touch him.
Then how did Lord Vishnu
free Lord Shiva?
To Lord Vishnu
Gajasur was not the only problem.
His brother Gajmukhasur was a problem too
who had realised by the growing darkness
that his brother's penance is over.
[music playing]
Now, to use his powers
he was free.
The world was in deep trouble.
Nobody had witnessed it before
or heard about it.
Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma
didn't have a solution to the problem.
Time was slipping out of their hands
like dry sand.
[music playing]
'Don't worry, O Goddess.'
Lord Vishnu
will do so.
[music playing]
[song playing]
Yes.
I will do everything
and bring Lord Shiva back
before time
and at any cost.
[music playing]
[laughs]
[music playing]
'I have promised Goddess Parvati'
'but the boon that Gajasur has received'
'makes it impossible to defeat him.'
But before the holy bath ritual gets over
if I don't keep my promise
then the world will have to suffer the consequence.
