00:00You
00:30Greetings, Keshav.
00:48Parth, you?
00:49What brings you here?
00:50I think it is the same reason, Vasudev Krishna,
00:53that has brought me here today
00:54to seek your support in this war.
00:57I see.
00:58So you are here too.
00:59I am truly fortunate.
01:01The good fortune is mine, Keshav.
01:03But why do you say I am here too?
01:06I arrived here first.
01:08You can ask Arjun himself.
01:10Yes, Keshav.
01:10Brother Duryodhan is indeed right.
01:12He was here first.
01:13And therefore, I have the right to present my request first.
01:17When I opened my eyes, I saw Arjun first.
01:19And Arjun is younger than you.
01:21Therefore, it is my duty to let him present the first request.
01:25So tell me, Arjun, what do you want?
01:27On the one hand, there is my large, powerful Narayani army.
01:33And on the other, there is me.
01:36Unarmed, empty-handed, and bound by a vow that forbids me from taking up arms during battle.
01:42So, whom will you choose?
01:44There is no question of preference here, Keshav.
01:48I will always choose you.
01:55Then your Narayani army is mine.
01:57Very well.
02:00I have no wish to break my younger brother's heart.
02:04I shall have to manage with your Narayani army.
02:07Duryodhan seemed very happy, Parth.
02:16Are you sure you chose wisely?
02:18What will you do with an unarmed Krishna by your side?
02:21I shall place myself in the hands of the one who holds the three realms together, Keshav.
02:25The army may well be with Duryodhan, but I have its leader on my side.
02:30I need your counsel and guidance, Keshav.
02:33It is I who will strike the target, but you shall guide me towards it.
02:37I will shoot the arrow.
02:39Not in the dark, but in the light of your wisdom.
02:41The time for battle was now at hand, but Duryodhan was still restless and impatient.
02:57With our ma, why are we still waiting?
03:00Blow the conch to announce the start of the battle.
03:02You are a little too eager, Duryodhan, as if this is a game that is about to begin.
03:07This is a battlefield.
03:08Victory can be achieved here only by carrying out massacres.
03:13It is certainly just a game for you, Pithama.
03:16You have already sworn that you will not bring harm to a single one of the Pandavas.
03:20And Karan, who could have done so, will no longer stand by my side in the battlefield because of you.
03:26I doubt you and your friend have won as many battles, Duryodhan, as I have won in my lifetime.
03:33War is not merely about winning and losing.
03:35It is about consequences, the price of every action.
03:41Therefore, O Crown Prince of Hastinapur, I suggest you start counting your losses along with your gains.
03:49Because what will you count later when there is nothing left?
03:53My son, you perform your duty.
03:57And I will do what is right.
03:59The deadly silence that comes before an apocalyptic event.
04:25In which the faintest sounds of life begin to be heard.
04:31The rhythm of breath.
04:34The flow of blood.
04:36The beating of the heart.
04:38But Arjun could not only hear each and everything.
04:44He could even see everything with great clarity.
04:49All I can see is the eye of the bird, Archaryadron.
04:52Pierce your target, Arjun.
04:54This is my vow to you, son.
04:55That I will mold you into the greatest archer in the world.
05:01Mother says that you stopped the flow of river Ganga by shooting arrows into it, Pithama.
05:06I want to be a warrior like you.
05:08May you be a greater warrior than me.
05:11But I hope my blessings do not lead to your defeating me in battle someday, Arjun.
05:15Stop the chariot, Keshav.
05:39What's wrong, Arjun?
05:40They are all my own flesh and blood, Keshav.
05:43My brothers, my friends, Pithama, Bhishma, Guru, Dron.
05:49How do I draw this bow and arrow against my own teacher?
05:53How can I send an arrow into the chest against which I was cradled as an infant?
05:58No, Keshav.
05:59How can I wage war against them?
06:00Arjun, what are you saying?
06:01Arjun's concern is valid, Brother Yudhishtir.
06:03Going to war without the blessings of our elders?
06:06No.
06:06First, go to them and ask them for their blessings.
06:08As Krishna showed the way, Yudhishtir started walking barefoot.
06:15And the massive Kauravami watched, stunned, as he strode through their ranks, unarmed.
06:23Your blessings, my Guru.
06:26May you have a long life.
06:28On the battlefield, a man is no longer someone's son nor someone's student.
06:32He is only a warrior.
06:34Uphold and honor my teaching, son.
06:38Yato dharmas tato jaya.
06:44Your blessings, Pithama.
06:45May victory be yours, Yudhishtir.
06:47If our destiny is war,
06:50then step forward and meet it with your head held high.
06:53Remember, Yudhishtir,
06:55I am like your grandfather.
06:57I am always there for you,
06:59if you need advice.
07:07Wait, Brother Yudhishtir.
07:09Yes, Yuyutsu.
07:11Pithama Bhishma is bound by the oath he has taken.
07:14But I am not.
07:15If it is my duty to fight,
07:16then I would like to fight on the side of righteousness.
07:19I will fight on your side with the Pandava army.
07:21You are welcome to, Yuyutsu.
07:23You see, Pithama,
07:25a stepbrother will always be a stepbrother.
07:29Yudhishtir's act of respect made it clear
07:31that even though the elders were opposed to the war,
07:34it was inevitable.
07:36Bound by their sense of duty,
07:37each one was compelled to take part in this fight.
07:40But the mind is not like the Gandiv bow,
07:43which can be aimed at will.
07:44This war means defeat for everyone, Keshav.
07:48Even if I were victorious,
07:50what would I gain?
07:51My hands are trembling.
07:53I cannot fight this war, Keshav.
07:56I simply cannot.
07:57A wave of shock ran through all of Kurukshetra.
08:00They were stunned seeing Arjuna like this.
08:03The Pandavas,
08:04as well as the Kauravas.
08:08Hmm.
08:09You were right, Arjuna.
08:10It was not Krishna's powerful Narayani army
08:13that you needed in this war,
08:15but the guidance of Krishna himself.
08:17Yada samharate jayam,
08:32Phoormongani basar vashah,
08:36Indriyad, Indriyad,
08:39Detyas,
08:40Tasya pratyaprakishkita,
08:42Shriita,
08:44Sukha kukhe isamechitva,
08:48Naamana bhaojaya jayam,
08:51Nato yukkaya yukjaswa,
08:55Naivam ba-bamabah chasi.
08:59What are these different forms you take?
09:02One form divine, the other form demonic.
09:05One moment there is darkness with no end in sight.
09:08And the next moment there's such radiance that I...
09:12I cannot see my way through.
09:14What is this illusion, Madhav?
09:17I cannot understand anything.
09:21It's the self-bhark, the soul.
09:24Which is neither born, nor does it die.
09:26The flame of which glows as brightly inside a newborn child as it does inside a dying old man.
09:34A physical body is born.
09:36It ages, and then dies.
09:38But this flame can never be extinguished.
09:41It is that which is indestructible, immortal, unborn, and undying.
09:46This is the flame that guides us along the path of dharm.
09:51Keshav, what is this path of dharm?
09:53War, Parth. War.
09:56But to cause the bloodshed of my own family and friends?
10:02How is this the path of dharm, Keshav?
10:04Friends? Who? These mortal bodies?
10:07Or that indestructible soul that you do not even know of?
10:09There are no friends here, Parth, nor any enemies.
10:13All of them have the same flame within them that burns within you too, the indestructible soul.
10:19Pick up your Gandiv bow, Arjun, and cast your eyes beyond these earthly shackles.
10:24And you will soon see the right path yourself.
10:26All I see is death and destruction around me, Vasudev Krishna. A sea of countless corpses. My whole family slain by my own hands.
10:35Which family, Parth? The family that tried to burn you and your brothers to death inside a palace of lack?
10:41Or the family that banished all of you to live in exile for thirteen long years?
10:46Or the family that could not persuade Duryodhana into granting you five villages to avert a war?
10:52Or the family that was so immersed in a game of dice that they did not stop their own daughter-in-law from being disrobed before a full royal court?
10:59Where were your beloved Pitama and Guru then, Parth?
11:04Perhaps they were bound by their sense of duty, Keshav?
11:07Just as you are bound by your duty. The duty of a warrior.
11:11Your deep philosophical thoughts are beyond my grasp, Keshav.
11:15Even now, in this war, I am unable to see anything beyond my friends and family.
11:20I understand that whatever you are saying to me is the truth, but you...
11:23You wish to see the truth, Arjun?
11:25Then look.
11:29Then look.
11:30You wish I could help him in exile.
11:31Leo, Charlie, my breakfast!
11:32Remember when he sprechen to the family!
11:35Now go to Amaria now, it's time to play at chaos.
11:37Nintendo.
11:39Kelly's the game as well.
11:43He didn't want his
11:45chance toieve a new kid.
11:48Johnny's the distance and I need to Competition to watch itself.
11:51This is the blasphemy's MARY man.
11:52Who has attracted him by� парth.
11:54And I can never forget something along this road,
11:56Behold my cosmic form, this is the truth.
12:07This universe, its planets and galaxies, I am all.
12:13I am birth, I am life, and I am death too, Barth.
12:23I am fire, I am air, I am water.
12:28This earth and everything on it, be it man, beast, consciousness itself, I am all.
12:36I am dharm, I am adharm too.
12:40I am the bow that you will draw in this war, and the arrow too.
12:45You are just an instrument that serves to maintain the balance between right and wrong,
12:49Arjun.
12:51Because in this great war, I am the one who will kill, and I am also the one who will
12:58die.
12:59This is the foremost truth, Arjun.
13:01It is also the final truth.
13:03Oh Krishna, this is the truth, I accept it.
13:08But tell me, how do I arrive at this truth?
13:11Do your duty, Barth.
13:13Take up your weapons.
13:14Do not worry about those who oppose you.
13:17Instead think of those who stand by you, even if it means fighting against your own blood.
13:22In this war, righteousness is on your side, Barth, because you have me on your side.
13:28Rise up, Barth, and defend what is right.
13:31Leave victory and defeat to me.
13:33Go selflessly into battle, because in Kurukshetra, this is your only duty, and this is your only
13:40truth.
13:41All that is dark, the light you see.
13:48All illusion ends with me.
13:53Come forward, be one with me.
13:56The end is the destiny.
13:59This earth below, the stars above.
14:03This is Kurukshetra.
14:05This is Kurukshetra.
14:07No warrior present at Kurukshetra that day heard what Krishna had said to Arjun, but
14:32they all witnessed its impact over 18 long, grueling days.
14:40In this war, every man had only one objective, vengeance.
14:45And the man with the greatest desire for vengeance was Bhim.
14:51Lushasan, accept your younger brother's good wishes.
15:14Son of Tripad Tristadumna, I believe you were granted a boon that allows you to kill me.
15:34Huh?
15:35So raise your bow, and fire your arrows.
15:37I stand here ready to face them.
15:39Say, save your boon and your blade for the battle to come to
15:57moon.
16:02Save your boon and your blade for the battle to come tomorrow.
16:09Look, the sun has already set.
16:12The sun god may have saved you today, Acharya, but you will not escape me again.
16:17Sooner or later, you are destined to die by my hand, Guru Dron.
16:21My father shall be avenged, come what may.
16:24This war had already broken all great ties of kinship,
16:29but it would be a while before its rules were broken too.
16:33The day ended with the setting sun, and with it, the first day of battle.
16:40Had this war full of great warriors remained just a war of men,
16:45it would have been one thing.
16:47But it was joined by gods, demons, and immense supernatural forces in the universe.
16:54And Bhishma was one such force.
16:58Brahmana, nirmitam, poorvamindrartha, mamitao jasa.
17:02Dattam, surpateh, poorvatr, loshkache, kand, kashinah.
17:08Chachvalyamanam, vapupa, supundah, hema, bhupitam.
17:14Dejasa, sarvabhutaanam, kritam, haskar, varchasam.
17:19Chachan, jamanam, vapusha, supundah, hema, bhupushitam.
17:26Dejasa, sarvabhutaanam, yutam, vhastarabhutasam.
17:32Sadurvam, kivakala, dittamashi, visham, yakha.
17:38Lapanakash, vabrindana, vedanam, shifrakarinam.
17:43Dip his hand!
17:53Crush him under the elephant's feet!
17:55Urggh!
18:06Hey!
18:13If you have any courage, then why summon your equal?
18:36Courage is dishonoring women in the middle of an open court!
18:40Your notion of courage!
18:43I can fight like this the entire day, Mim!
18:47You really think I have the entire day to fight you?
18:50I still have all of you hundred brothers left to kill!
18:59As the third day dawned, it began to appear as if Bhishma's powerful skills alone would annihilate the entire Band of Army.
19:08You know what, all of you guys can start diving!
19:12I can't do anything!
19:15I'm ending in the middle of an open court!
19:17You guys are so old!
19:21You guys are so old!
19:22Ah!
19:26Ahq!
19:28Ah!
19:31Ah!
19:33Ah!
19:36Ah?
19:38Ah!
19:40Ah!
19:42Ah!
19:46Fuck!
19:51Ah!
19:51In just two days, Bhishma, son of Goddess Ganga, left two massive legions of the Pandava army in ruins.
19:58On the third day itself, it was obvious that Bhishma had caused terror within the Pandava army.
20:04But how could Krishna bear to let righteousness bow its head?
20:08What are you doing, Arjun? Why have you lured your Gandiv bow in front of Bhishma?
20:15Arjun, you must stop Bhishma, or else I shall have to intervene.
20:21Hurukshetra hai, Hurukshetra hai, Hurukshetra hai, Hurukshetra hai, Hurukshetra hai, Hurukshetra hai.
20:29Are you sure of them?
20:38Oh chakra-wielding Madhav, what greater death could I ask for, than to be slain in this battle at your hands?
20:46Bhishma, who had the boon of choosing his moment of death, surrendered himself to Krishna.
20:53But Krishna had taken a vow not to take up arms in the Kurukshetra war.
20:58So what of that vow?
