Sages!
They are my committed
devotees.
After enduring your curse
please grant them the permission to return to my abode.
How can we permit them in front of you?
We are not so powerful, Lord.
You're our Lord.
Their punishment and return
depends on you, Lord.
[music playing]
After enduring your curse on Earth
you shall surely return to my abode.
But before that
either you will have to be my friend for seven lifetimes
or my enemy for three lifetimes.
But we can't live a few moments without you
then how can we live seven lifetimes without you?
[song playing]
My tongue never gets tired of praising you all day and night.
How can we be your enemy for three lifetimes?
[song playing]
What dilemma is this, Lord?
Whatever we choose
will be extremely difficult for us.
Won't it hurt you to see us suffer?
Aren't we your devotees?
Jay-Vijay.
Sons.
When you must make a choice
then choose what
will bring you closer to your Lord at the earliest.
Won't that be the right choice?
[music playing]
Even an enemy's mind
constantly revolves around his rival.
Throughout his day, he always
thinks about his enemy.
And within three lifetimes
is less than seven.
Goddess, you've enlightened us.
You helped us.
You guided us.
It's not less than any blessing, Goddess.
Lord!
We are willing to be your enemy for three lifetimes.
[music playing]
We accept it, Lord.
Your devotion towards Lord Vishnu
is truly commendable.
[music playing]
You will be born on Earth soon.
And soon, you will attain nirvana too.
So that you can return to your Lord's abode soon.
What forms did Jay-Vijay take in these three lifetimes?
In the first age, they were born as Hiranyakashyap
and Hiranyaksh.
In the second age, they were born as Ravan
and Kumbhkaran.
In the third age, they were born as Shishupal
and Dattavakra.
They will be killed by the Lord.
Then they shall reclaim their place in Vishnu's abode.
Please tell me the story of the first age
in detail, Goddess.
[music playing]
As Sage Sankadik mentioned
that their birth was imminent.
One of Sage Kashyap's wives
Diti came to his hermitage wishing for a son.
I want children like Aditi.
But this is not the right time to have a child.
In this age, if you have a child
they will be vengeful by nature.
No.
I can't wait.
Sage Kashyap could predict the turbulent times ahead.
Time proved his judgement right.
When his sons, Hiranyakashyap and Hiranyaksh
were born as a reincarnation of Jay-Vijay.
The world trembled with fear.
Nocturnal birds began to call. Wolves began to howl.
[howling]
The moon had an eclipse.
And there were storms in the ocean.
[gushing]
Eventually, the sage's sons grew up.
And their terror made people plead for help.
[music playing]
[laughs]
Is there any warrior who can fight me
or defeat me?
Tell me!
Is there anyone?
[laughs]
A sinner always
wakes up each morning and wonders
whom to fight.
Hiranyaksh had the same plight.
The gods accepted defeat.
He thought of himself to be the most powerful.
One day, he found some sages chanting god's name
and meditating.
Praise be to Lord Vishnu!
[music playing]
The most powerful creature on this planet
and the most radiant
and capable men are only
me and my brother, Hiranyakashyap.
Then who is Vishnu?
Why are you all worshipping him?
Lord Vishnu is the preserver of this planet, Hiranyaksh.
The world is his grace.
Don't speak lies, Sage!
It's not a lie, but the truth.
If that's the truth then where is he?
Call him!
I can defeat him in a jiffy
and establish that there's nobody more powerful than me.
[music playing]
What happened?
Why are you quiet?
If you wish to save your life
then tell me where Vishnu is.
How can I meet him?
We are waiting to meet him too.
That's why we are chanting.
So that the ritual fire pleases him.
Ritual fire?
So, the gods and Vishnu derive energy from this ritual fire.
There will be no ritual so no source of energy.
And then they will be powerless.
[laughs]
If I ask you to stop this ritual
then Lord Vishnu will be compelled to visit us.
[music playing]
Sages!
Hereafter, nobody will light a ritual fire on this planet.
If any of you go against me
then death is the only penalty.
[music playing]
Fearing death, if any of us
stop the ritual
you won't benefit from it, Hiranyaksh.
Because on this planet
every devotee is worshipping the Lord.
How many will you stop?
How many ritual fires will you extinguish?
Every corner.
I will ban this ritual from every corner of this planet.
And if any of you go against me
then I will drown the planet.
[music playing]
And all of you will die.
And your Vishnu will be compelled to visit me.
[laughs]
So, reincarnated as Hiranyaksh, Jai was so against Vishnu
that the world was in crisis.
When a person becomes demonic
they don't think twice before sinning.
When someone is full of sins
they don't take time to cross their limits.
So, tell me
when does the Lord stop people from sinning?
Anybody can make a mistake, Garud.
That's why the Lord gives every sinner, a chance at repentance
and absolution.
Jay and Vijay had done such good deeds
that unless they commit all the sins
the situation wouldn't have arisen
where the Lord could save them by taking up a form.
[music playing]
[laughs]
Such a stupendous form!
[music playing]
[laughs]
How will the world be saved?
[laughs]
Stop, Hiranyaksh!
Don't do this!
If you push the earth from its place
then all the creatures will die.
Life will end on earth.
And not only Earth
it will have an impact on the other planets too.
And you don't wish for it to happen.
Isn't it, Goddess Bhuma?
[laughs]
No!
[music playing]
The notorious Hiranyaksh moved Earth from its place.
He hid it in the milky ocean.
So that Lord Vishnu comes to protect the planet
and fights him.
[laughs]
Save us, Lord!
Save this planet.
If you don't act soon
then there shall be nothing
but destruction on your planet.
[music playing]
Hearing her plea
makes me tear up too, Goddess.
It's beyond imagination
to see your children in crisis
and I wonder how Goddess Bhuma must've felt about it.
Not only for Goddess Bhuma
but even Lord Vishnu was in dilemma.
The Lord loves Earth in this entire universe.
So, he assured her.
Calm down, Goddess Bhuma.
Stay strong.
You know
that I don't ignore my devotee's sufferings.
I never leave them alone to suffer.
Your agony
is hurting me too.
Trust me, when the time comes
I will surely help you.
Like a cold trail of water
your assurance
has calmed my burning concerns.
Praise be to you, Lord!
[conch blows]
When the time comes
but, Goddess, Hiranyaksh had moved
Earth from its place and drowned it in the ocean.
All the residents
and devotees were in danger.
What was he waiting for?
There are no coincidences on this planet.
Everything is destined.
The crisis hovering on the planet right now
gave rise to the idea of a creation in Lord Brahma's mind.
That thought
gave rise to a man and a woman.
[music playing]
Manu, Shatarupa.
You have to initiate life on earth.
Salutations, Lord Brahma.
We accept your wishes.
But there is water all around
then where do we go?
We need land to thrive, Lord.
Give us Earth.
Only Lord Vishnu can do that.
So, you must call him.
Praise be to Lord Vishnu!
[music playing]
Praise be to Lord Vishnu!
O, Lord, to fulfil the objective of our birth
and to establish a new world
we need Earth.
O, Lord, only you can
free Earth
and gift life to the upcoming generations.
Please show us mercy, Lord.
Accept our prayers.
[music playing]
Lord Vishnu has been reincarnated.
The form of Varaha!
[song playing]
