Lord Indra, did you see
that King Himavat is returning alone from the cave.
It means that Shailputri has decided to stay in the cave.
It's good news, Lord Indra.
This is certainly auspicious.
When Lord Shiva and the Goddess
will face each other in the cave
the chances of them realising
the truth will increase.
This will cause Shakti and Shiva
to recognise each other.
Then everything will fall into place.
After Sati's death, Lord Shiva not only went into deep meditation
but have also lost interest in the material world.
It won't be easy for Shailputri to bring him out of this state.
The Goddess has no memory of her past life.
She is oblivious to the stature of the person she's serving.
Praise be to God!
[music playing]
Mother, Goddess Shailputri was a reincarnation
and she didn't even look at Lord Shiva, so
she couldn't recognise him.
But why couldn't Lord Shiva realise
that the woman standing in front of him is
his beloved
Goddess Sati's reincarnation.
Although momentarily
Lord Shiva heard Shailputri's voice.
Then why didn't he recognise his better half, Mother?
You must be empathetic to Lord Shiva, Suparna.
After Sati's demise
he lost interest in the material world.
To experience any emotion
was impossible for him.
Forget being bound by a relationship
nothing could touch him.
Even with his eyes open
he was unable to experience anything materialistic in this world.
He only focussed internally.
He used to be lost.
In such a state, to get his attention
to make a place in his heart
Shailputri had to pray, meditate
and observe a fast.
Only then could she be called Lord Shiva's better half.
She began this journey.

[music playing]
The Goddess' devotion is so wonderful!
[song playing]
On one hand, Goddess Parvati
was so close to Lord Shiva yet there was a distance.
On the other hand, getting a boon from Lord Brahma
Tarakasur had become fearless.
He put himself in the pedestal of God.
Praise be to Lord Agni!
- Praise be to Lord! - [laughs]
[music playing]
[evil laughter]
The ruler of Swargalok
who is it, Sages?
You are the ruler of Swargalok.
Yes, you are.
Yes, you are the ruler.
Then in this ritual
whose name must you chant?
[music playing]
If you don't speak then you deserve this.
[grunts]
[explosion]
[screams] Help!
- Run! [screams] - Help us!
[evil laughs]
We will chant for you.
If you wish to save yourself, then repeat after me.
Praise be to Tarakasur!
Say it!
Praise be to Tarakasur!
[music playing]
Praise be to Tarakasur!
- Praise be to Tarakasur! - [evil laughs]
What is this absurdity, Lord Vishnu?
Brilliant!
Don't stop the chanting.
Tarakasur was snatching everyone's powers.
He kept snatching the reward of the rituals.
[evil laughter]
That ritual gives me strength.
That's where I derive energy from.
If rituals continue to happen for Tarakasur
then my energy will be finished.
[music playing]
Praise be to Tarakasur!
[evil laughter]
'Tarakasur's atrocity is growing.'
'Only Lord Shiva and Parvati's union can put an end to him.'
[conch blows]
Despite being so close, they're indifferent to each other.
[music playing]
Lord Shiva was uninterested.
By serving him, even Goddess Parvati has become like him.
[music playing]
She's living like an ascetic.
Until love blossoms between them
they won't be able to recognise each other.
Then their wedding will not take place
and their son won't be born.
'Until that moment'
'the world will have to endure Tarakasur's atrocities.'
At any cost
we have to bring Lord Shiva out of his disinterest, Lord Indra.
[song playing]
In this creation, this is only one person capable of
getting this done.
Lord Kama.
[music playing]
But, Lord Indra
will Lord Kama agree?
[music playing]
[whooshing]
[rustling]
[music playing]
[birds chirping]
[blazing]
Beloved Rati! Where are you?
[whooshing]
[song playing]
Beloved Rati! Where are you?
[music playing]
You're here.
Lord.
What happened, dear?
Why are you sad?
[music playing]
Today
I feel very anxious.
It's a strange restlessness.
It feels like something
bad is about to happen.
My right eye is fluttering too.
You worry a lot.
As long as I'm around
nothing bad can happen.
[song playing]
But, Lord...
[song playing]
Lord Kama.
[music playing]
Welcome.
Greetings, Lord Indra!
'Only Lord Shiva and Parvati's union can put an end to him.'
only both of you
are unaffected in your personal life
by Tarakasur's atrocities.
It's not like that, Lord Indra.
Whenever I feel that something wrong is about to happen
and I see it materialising
the sorrow, and growing atrocities
make me feel bad.
Then why don't you do something to make life better, Lord Kama?
Lord Indra.
When all the gods couldn't stop him
then how can I do it?
In this creation, you
in all the creatures
rekindle lust.
But, right now
where that feeling needs to be rekindled the most
why are you not helping, Lord Kama?
With Sage Narada's assistance
after a lot of challenges
we brought Goddess Parvati
close to Lord Shiva.
But, if Lord Shiva doesn't wake up from his meditation
and look at her then how will they unite?
How will they get married?
How will that son be born
who will be capable of killing Tarakasur?
If you tell us directly
then it will be easier for us to understand, Lord Indra.
What are you expecting from my husband?
You must do your duty, Lord Kama.
Lord Shiva
must be brought out of his disinterest.
This is possible only when
you strike him with your arrow.
[music playing]
No, Lord Indra.
This is not possible.
When an ordinary Yogi gains control over his mind
I can't affect them.
[music playing]
You're talking about
Adiyogi.
He is Lord Shiva.
How can I interrupt his meditation?
If you don't do it
then who will do it, Lord Kama?
[music playing]
Benevolence is identified during charity.
Valiance is identified in the battlefield.
A woman's real challenge is
when her husband is rendered useless.
A friend's real challenge is
when his friend is in trouble.
I agree that
I'm Lord Indra
but I've always
been a friend to you.
Consider it to be a test of your friendship.
But
I don't have a selfish motive behind this, Lord Kama.
It is necessary for the prosperity of the world.
You must have heard that
Tarakasur has compelled the priests to begin chanting for him.
If you wish, I can break the sages' meditation.
I can trap Tarakasur
in the web of lust.
But Lord Shiva
to break his meditation
it's not in my capacity.
There is only one consequence for that audacity.
Destruction.
[song playing]
Forgive us, Lord Indra.
But, I can't let my husband
face such a big challenge.
Pardon me, Goddess Rati.
He has to face the challenge.
If he doesn't strike Lord Shiva with this bow of lust
and do his duty then I
will become a challenge for him.
[music playing]
Until now, I've been
pleading like a friend. But, now
as the Lord of Lords
I command him.
There is only one consequence of not obeying me.
Punishment.
[music playing]
Lord Indra didn't do the right thing.
He was forcing Lord Kama into a danger.
No, Mushak.
Lord Indra
was doing it for the betterment of the world.
He didn't have a choice.
Did Lord Kama agree with Lord Indra?
Did Tarakasur's countdown begin?
