Don't say that.
I can't bear it.
These snakes are your sons too.
Now they need you the most
don't leave them alone and helpless.
Savitri got back Satyavan's life from God of death, Yamraj
even I'm a virtuous woman
I'm also determined.
I'll save my sons' lives.
I'm ready to do anything for it.
Even God can't ignore a mother's plea.
Their mother and aunt will pray for them.
'How do I tell them that messenger of God of death'
'has come to take away the snakes?'
'What is father looking at, over there?'
Why do I feel that someone was here, who went away?
If you both have decided, then there's a solution.
Yes, Father. Tell us what to do.
We will do anything for our brothers.
To know and understand that
you all should pay attention
and hear and know the story of Jivitputrika Fast.
In this world, any mother who observes this fast with rituals
will obtain the strength to protect her child.
And her child will live long.
We are eager to hear the story.
It happened in the last era.
A kite used to reside in a tree
outside the city and a jackal also lived there.
One day, the kite and jackal satiated their hunger
by relishing their meals and were returning.
Then they saw the ladies of the city
performing Jivitputrika Fast.
They also wanted to observe the fast.
The following year, they observed this fast.
The kite succeeded in being patient and controlling itself.
But when the jackal saw the rooster
it got hungry and ate it.
But, Dad..
Many people wish to observe a fast.
But why can't everyone fulfil it?
When someone decides to observe a fast
his positive traits inspire him to complete it.
But his evil traits tempt him to break the fast.
Striving for the success of good over evil is observing a fast.
Like any other battle, this is not easy.
This fast is so powerful that just for attempting it
the jackal was also blessed with the fortune
of being born as a human in the next lifetime like the kite.
The kite was reborn as a princess named Sheelvathi.
And the jackal was born in the form of a poor girl, Kapurvathi.
By destiny's play, Princess Sheelvathi
was married to King Buddhisen.
Hail King Buddhisen and Queen Sheelvathi.. - Hail.
'This story about the king and queen'
'seems like my parents' relationship.'
Hail King Buddhisen and Queen Sheelvathi.. - Hail.
Kapurvathi also stayed in that kingdom.
Despite being born in a poor family
Kapurvathi desired to be the queen.
And that's why she started feeling jealous
of Queen Sheelvathi.
Kapurvathi wanted the king to notice her somehow.
So she made a plan
and went to the palace to request to work there.
Minister, I, an unfortunate woman, request you.
Show mercy on me and hire me.
Only then can I feed my family.
Show some mercy.
Okay.
From today onwards
you'll be responsible for sweeping
and mopping the palace.
I can't do anything more.
The Minister gave her the responsibility
of sweeping and mopping the palace.
Now Kapurvathi became a servant in the palace.
But she'd always try to get close to the king and queen.
One day she saw that the palace's cook
was asking for a leave.
She didn't waste any time.
She went and met the minister. - Minister!
I can cook meals in place of the royal cook.
I'll get a chance to serve the king and queen.
The rest is up to you.
But Kapurvathi didn't know
to cook tasty dishes.
She felt that in this case, she may be fired.
Her plan of getting close to the king
and queen will fail.
Then she thought of a solution.
Now no matter how the lunch is
they will find it to be tasty.
King. Queen!
What did you mix in the food?
Tell me!
Soldiers!
Arrest her. She has committed treason.
Minister, I haven't done anything.
I know a medicine by which both will recover soon.
Hurry up! - I'll get it.
Minister, this is a mixture of herbs.
I've added honey.
They must apply two drops on the tongue.
Hurry up. - Yes.
King.
Are you all right?
Yes.
I'm all right.
Are you all right?
I believe that
she mixed something in your Chaas on purpose.
Due to which you both fell sick.
Then she got afraid upon hearing that
she'll be sent to dungeons as punishment
and made you both recover by giving powerful herbs.
I agree with you, Minister.
We felt dizzy after consuming the Chaas
given by this lady
and we had excruciating stomach ache.
But it is also true that this woman saved our lives.
So I won't punish her.
But such a woman is not worthy of serving in the royal palace.
Oust her, right away!
Show mercy, King..
Why would I hurt my king
and queen on purpose?
I do not have any cunning motive.
If you fire me from my job as a servant here
what will I do?
How will I survive? How will I earn my livelihood?
Who will take care of me?
King, Kapurvathi is good-natured.
She made a mistake but it is not on purpose.
I firmly believe so.
I request you
to forgive her.
And permit her to work as my personal attendant.
What are you saying, Queen?
This is my wish, King.
Kapurvathi has not been proven to be innocent.
But this kingdom won't disrespect the queen's wish.
Hail the king. Hail the queen.
'You're thinking you saved me
'and are feeling happy, Sheelvathi.'
'You are a means to ascend'
'to the queen's abode.'
'I'll be the second queen soon.'
Pardon me, Father.
After listening to the tale, it seems
Queen Sheelvathi was a intelligent and wise woman.
Yet why didn't she understand Kapurvathi's cunning behaviour?
Even if she didn't understand.. The king had decided
to punish Kapurvathi
then why didn't Queen Sheelvathi
trust her husband's intellect?
Do you know what's most dangerous in this world, Garud?
Being excessive. Queen Sheelvathi too had this flaw.
She was too generous. Her intellect had warned her.
From that day
Kapurvathi started serving Queen Sheelvathi.
Gradually they became so close
that the queen depended on her for everything.
She started staying with the queen for most of the day.
You are the gift given by life.
You enhance my life.
I'm indebted to you, forever.
How do I return the favour?
Kapurvathi.
Don't ever say so.
You're not a servant, you're like a sister.
'The journey from being'
'a servant to a sister has been achieved.'
'But now, I need to become the queen.'
'It is my sole objective.'
Kapurvathi.
There you are. I looked for you everywhere.
Kapurvathi understood
the queen is influenced by her.
And has fallen into her trap.
She used to treat Kapurvathi
like a sister, not a maid.
Now she made her next move.
'It means the way aunt made mother her slave by cunningness'
'did Kapurvathi trap the queen?'
'What would she have done?'
