Don't trust him, Chief.
He's a demon.
Lying and deceiving is in his nature.
[music playing]
Don't go against the rules of the battlefield.
Chief of God's Army, I'm begging at your feet.
You have to protect me.
Be kind.
[music playing]
Be kind.
'How do kill someone who is begging at my feet?'
'But I can't let this evil demon live.'
'What dilemma is this?'
[music playing]
Falling at the enemy's feet
is not like my son!
[music playing]
[birds calling]
'Tarakasur is here.'
'It seems like he will kill his son in anger.'
'This is the best chance to kill Kartikeya.'
[music playing]
[thudding]
Lord.
Our son stood by the principles of war.
But how will he face Tarakasur?
No matter how capable a child is
a mother's love
always worries about his safety.
[song playing]
Our son has a part of you.
A part of Adishakti.
You must have faith in yourself, Goddess.
[music playing]
[screams]
[song playing]
[swooshing]
[explosion]
[dazzling]
[swishing]
[explosion]
Wonderful!
At such a young age
Kartikeya is fighting such a powerful demon
that too, fearlessly.
Not only that, Lord Vayu.
By using his weapons to teach powerful demons like Tarakasur
he is proving his capability.
I don't think anybody else is so capable
to face great warriors like Tarakasur
and fight them.
[song playing]
I've heard that demons never bow to their enemies.
Do you share the same belief, Tarakasur?
[song playing]
Demons believe that
to prove your capability to the enemy
there must be a fair chance.
Why did you stop, kid? Attack!
[laughs]
[grunts]
[birds calling]
[swishing]
You can't do anything to me.
My life lies at your mother's lotus feet.
If you wish to kill me
then go find her.
[laughs]
[music playing]
'Tarakasur's life is at my mother's feet?'
'But how can this be possible?'
'I can't imagine attacking mother.'
'How do I kill Tarakasur then?'
[laughs]
This demon was clever.
He put Kartikeya in a dilemma
that has no solution.
Any son can get angry with his mother
and leave his house
but cutting his mother's feet is impossible to think of.
This is not cleverness. This is stupidity.
Choosing between your duty and your mother
is not easy.
[music playing]
But he had to choose, right?
Tarakasur's death was required to save the world.
But, Mother.
Why do nice people always undergo such difficult tests?
Because nice people are truly devoted to God.
Before giving them a permanent shelter
it is mandatory for gods
to test them.
It was difficult for Kartikeya to choose.
He had to either choose his duty, for which he was born
or his mother
who gave him this life.
For such a young kid
what could be a bigger test?
When a test starts bothering you
then it is important to find a way to resolve it.
A businessman from Varanasi
for his mother
established a temple.
That devotee
after consecrating the idol in the temple, said
O Goddess, I've made you eternal.
I've repaid your debt.
As soon as he said that
a big portion of the temple crashed.
Do you know why?
Because a mother can never be repaid.
[music playing]
In this world, you can attain God by undergoing penance.
But getting rid of your mother's obligations
is not possible.
Because a mother
who at the time of birth
almost dies with a smile, to give birth to her child.
For the child's nourishment
a mother gives up her identity.
[song playing]
She stays up at night to put her child to sleep.
Without feeding the child
she doesn't eat a morsel.
To her child
she devotes her life to.
That's how a mother is.
[song playing]
You're young yet speak a lot.
[music playing]
I don't have time for it.
You tell me what happened next.
What did Kartikeya do?
[music playing]
[song playing]
'I will give you spiritual wisdom.'
[song playing]
'You are the chief of our army hereafter'
'so I'm not afraid.'
'You can't hurt me, kid.'
'My life lies at your mother's lotus feet.'
'I was given this responsibility with high expectations.'
'How do I fulfil my responsibility?'
'How do I save the world?'
[song playing]
[clanging]
[song playing]
What seemed impossible to the world
I made it possible.
What was beyond imagination
is now a reality.
Today, I tricked that kid
and conquered my death.
I have defeated time.
[laughs]
Is this true, Lord?
Don't you believe me?
You will see it tomorrow morning.
These gods and Kartikeya will be gone tomorrow.
No matter how valiant
cutting his mother's feet
is not something that this kid can do.
No kid can do that!
[laughs]
Enough, Lord!
I can't watch this silently.
This demon is deceptive.
Compelling a child to use a sword against his mother
is what he's attempting to do.
He doesn't know that this can never happen.
But it has happened, Mother.
[music playing]
What are you saying, Kartikeya?
What do you mean?
You taught me
to deliver my duty.
I was born for a purpose.
That's my motive and my destiny.
Hence, to fulfil my duty, I'm willing to do anything
I won't hesitate.
[song playing]
Forgive me, Mother. I'm compelled.
[music playing]
Mother!
[song playing]
He is going through such a trauma.
I can feel it, Lord.
I can feel his agony.
[music playing]
Do you know what this proves?
He unconditionally loves
you and this world
which has been created by you.
That's why, for the well-being of the world
he can't harm you.
[song playing]
By not harming you
he is unable to compel this world into such darkness.
Our son has bear this dilemma, Parvati.
But we must remember that
a diamond has to undergo extreme heat to become precious.
Don't blame yourself, Kartikeya.
Even we are confused
how to act.
You're a kid, Kartikeya.
It is natural for you to feel scared.
But this is not an option, Lord Indra.
On one side, there's this creation
whose protection is my duty.
That's the purpose of my birth.
On the other side, it's my mother
who gave birth to me.
It's not possible to choose between them.
There must be an alternative.
How can this be possible
that the demon put his life at my mother's feet
and she didn't even realise it.
Even I'm finding it weird.
Is it possible that it's a trick?
He's trying to mislead us.
Or maybe
he spoke the truth
but there must be a different meaning to it.
[music playing]
'You can't hurt me, kid.'
'My life is at your mother's lotus feet.'
He said that
his life is at my mother's lotus feet.
Can there be a different implication?
Only Tarakasur can tell us.
Why would Tarakasur unveil his secret, Kartikeya?
He will, Lord Indra.
If we make the right moves
then his secrets will be out.
But you must do as I say.
[music playing]
What is he planning?
What do you think he told Lord Indra?
Is he about to do something
that put him into trouble.
Our son has only demonstrated his strength and devotion until now.
Now, it's time
for him to prove his intellect.
The one who has strength, devotion and intellect
can never be defeated, Goddess.
[song playing]
'Soon, I will find the secret to kill Tarakasur'
'and finish him.'
[song playing]
