00:00It is the time of Vijaynagar Empire, all the people live happily under the rule of King
00:06Vikram Simha.
00:08However, now there have been a few thefts in the kingdom.
00:15Commander, can you tell me what is going on in my kingdom?
00:22Now that people's hard-earned money is being looted, what action are you taking?
00:28Long live the king, there is only one person responsible for all these cases.
00:34He steals and then get away while riding on a horse at lightning speed every time.
00:42You need to stop it commander.
00:44If you do not catch that thief in 10 days and bring him before the supreme court, your
00:50position will be taken away.
00:52The great king left the court in anger.
00:56The thief's name is Surya Simha.
00:59He is a determined person.
01:02He does not stop until he achieves what he wants.
01:07One day, he was going through the forest and met Swamiji.
01:12Swamiji, give me something to eat, I am hungry.
01:18Swamiji had some fruits, which he offered to Surya.
01:22Swamiji, what will you eat?
01:24I keep wandering in the forest and can eat anything, but you beware because you are going
01:31to jail.
01:32Imprisonment?
01:33Ha!
01:34Ha!
01:35Ha!
01:36Nobody has guts to arrest me.
01:37You are headed towards your destiny and you cannot change it.
01:40But look at me, today I have not even committed a theft.
01:45If they see that I do not have anything, how will they arrest me?
01:49I will sit under this tree, eat this fruit and fight if someone comes to arrest me.
01:55Impossible, son.
01:57You can try though.
01:58Saying so, Swamiji leaves.
02:00Meanwhile, the princess of the palace went to take bath and kept her diamond necklace
02:06aside.
02:07A pigeon saw it and without thinking if it was edible, he flew away with it.
02:13The soldiers came chasing the pigeon in the forest.
02:17The pigeon dropped that necklace on the tree.
02:20Suryasimha was sleeping beneath the tree after eating the fruits and that's when the necklace
02:26fell close to him.
02:28The soldiers captured him and took him away.
02:31Your Highness, this is a scoundrel who is committing thefts in our kingdom.
02:38He trained the pigeons and then stole the princess' necklace.
02:42Your Highness, I am a thief for sure, but I have not committed theft today.
02:48I sentence this person to life imprisonment.
02:52Obeying the king's command, Suryasimha was imprisoned.
02:57What Swamiji said turned out to be true, but I will not remain a captive.
03:02He decided to get out of that prison.
03:05He waited for the right time and after exactly six months, he escaped from that prison cunningly
03:13and ran away into the forest.
03:17He met the same Swamiji in the forest.
03:23Swamiji was sitting on a rock.
03:26Swamiji!
03:27Ha!
03:28Ha!
03:29Ha!
03:30I have faced my destiny till now, but this time I will surely fight my death.
03:35I believe you can see the future.
03:39Why don't you tell me when I am going to die and I will face it.
03:45Suryasimha was stupid in thinking that he can change what God has written for him.
03:52After three months from now, you will be hanged to the right branch of a banyan tree in a
03:58village called Saranpur, which is 30 km away from the kingdom.
04:02Try fighting this if you want to.
04:04Suryasimha went to another kingdom far away, changed his name and continued to live there.
04:12But one day, to go back to Saranpur village, I have to walk 30 km.
04:19What if I cut off my legs?
04:21I will never have to go there.
04:23Ha!
04:24Ha!
04:25Ha!
04:26Suryasimha cut off both his legs so that he never travels to that kingdom.
04:31He lived like a prisoner in his own hut for three months.
04:36However, one day a mad horse ran everywhere in that kingdom and caused chaos all around.
04:44Surya, who was good at horse riding, jumped on the horse.
04:51Surya fell while trying to control it.
04:57The horse ran very fast for 30 km and took Surya under the banyan tree of Saranpur village.
05:07For a moment, he did not understand what had happened.
05:11Are you the thief who escaped from our prison?
05:15Our king's command is to catch you and kill you wherever you are found.
05:20Saying so, they lifted him up.
05:23Let's hang him on this banyan tree itself.
05:26For a moment, life seemed to have slipped away from him.
05:29Suryasimha did not give up.
05:32Wait!
05:33I have one last wish before I am hanged.
05:35What?
05:36Take me to the left branch of the tree and hang me there.
05:40Saying that, they tied a rope to the left branch of the banyan tree and put it around
05:46his neck.
05:47Suryasimha was smiling with pride as if he has defeated his own death.
05:55Then something unexpected happened.
05:58Just then the wind blew very fast and the whole atmosphere got changed.
06:04Somehow the banyan tree suddenly turned around and the hanging left branch of the tree turned
06:11to the right side and Surya died that very moment.
06:18That's why they say, one cannot defeat what's written in one's destiny.
