King Ravana, are you searching for hope
in this pyre after finishing off the future of your lineage?
Those humans didn't kill
my husband, but you!
You killed my husband!
Who will believe
that a human killed a warrior who vanquished
Lord Indra?
You killed my husband, not Lakshmana!
- Daughter... - I'm neither your daughter nor daughter-in-law!
I'm Indrajit's widow.
I tried to convince him.
I warned him at every step.
I told him that an arrogant father's adamancy
could be the cause of his death.
He continued to follow his father's unjust orders,
and today that very father has lit his pyre.
You literally pushed your son into this pyre!
Even though you knew the truth!
Sulochana is right.
Rama and his army can't be blamed.
You and your adamancy killed my son.
Lankesh, you are a killer of sons!
You didn't just snatch my son
and Sulochana's husband from her,
you made innumerable mothers childless.
Lankesh, you widowed innumerable married women!
Your adamancy snatched innumerable fathers from their children!
Lankesh, even clouds stop raining
after exhausting the water inside them.
Please let go of your stubbornness
and stop this devastation!
You don't care about your wife's fears
or the warnings from your well-wishers!
You should at least
mend your ways after witnessing your son's pyre.
Lankesh, you aren't confronting
an ordinary human.
Lankesh, he is Narayana!
Goddess Nikumbala
failed to save Her devotee.
Will Mahadeva save His ardent devotee?
Will Mahakala go against righteousness?
Lankesh, how many people will you sacrifice
in the 'yajna' of your arrogance?
How many more will you sacrifice?

Maharishi Agastya, thank you for accepting my invitation.
Raghunandan, why wouldn't I come to bless you
to eradicate unrighteousness being a righteous person?
I need your blessings as well as your advice.
Maharishi, we are running against time.
Please tell us how to perform 'puja' for Mahagauri
to get Her blessings.
Rama, when atrocities increase, situations
become conducive to righteousness.
The auspicious moment
to invoke the Goddess is at midnight today.
Please take a vow
that you'll offer 108 blue lotuses to the Goddess.
When you complete the offerings,
the Goddess will appear before you and bless you.
However, sage,
blue lotuses are rare.
It takes years to find just one lotus.
Finding 108 lotuses is a difficult feat.
Neela, the Goddess can't be appeased easily.
We must find them.
If we don't find 108 lotuses, the 'yajna' won't be successful.
But, sage, why 108 blue lotuses?
Can't we offer a lesser amount?
Neela, "108" is an important figure.
The number "1" means God is one.
The "0" symbolises He is omnipresent,
while the number "8" represents the limitlessness of time.
There are 108 nerves in our body
connected to the chest.
They connect the soul to the Almighty.
Until we chant 108 times,
this connection isn't established.
This is why the number of pearls in a rosary,
the names of deities,
and the number of Upanishads in the world is 108.
So I'll go and bring
108 blue lotuses for my Lord.
Sage, please tell me
where I should search for those.
Manasarovar.
[vocalising]
Lord, I'll take your leave.
Hanuman, may you become successful.
Hail Shri Rama!
Your Majesty, they are performing 'puja' to appease the Goddess
under the guidance of Maharishi Agastya.
Your Majesty, they are planning a grand ritual.
'Goddess Nikumbala'
'failed to save Her devotee.'
'Will Mahadeva save His ardent devotee?'
'Will Mahakala go against righteousness?'
- Your Majesty, they are trying... - Let them try.
I'll also try something.
I'll try to appease my Mahadeva.
This world considers me stubborn and arrogant.
My Meghanada was the only one
who knew I wasn't stubborn, but merely fulfilling my vow.
I'm proud of him.
He always considered his father his guru.
He followed all my orders
without questioning me.
I'm lucky
to have had a son like Meghanada.
Rama made me helpless
by killing Kumbhakarna.
Today, he snatched Meghanada from me
and cut off a part of my soul.
My Meghanada's sacrifice
won't be wasted.
[thunder rumbling]
I'll obtain Mahadeva's blessings,
and ensure Rama's end!
I, Ravana!
I held back
till now because of the promise I made to Meghanada.
However, now
I'm not tied down by a promise.
Last time,
Mahadeva revoked His Chandrahasa.
This time I, Ravana, will do a 'yajna'
so that Mahadeva will be compelled
by the power of my devotion
to bless me with victory!
The Goddess may or may not be appeased.
We can only do our karma.
We can only remember Her
with utmost devotion and faith.
We will try to appease Her.
- We won't sin by compelling Her. - However, rakshasas are different.
Their 'puja' is based on selfishness and stubbornness.
They intend to compel the deity
while performing a 'puja'.
Vibhishana, that is transaction, not devotion.
A devotee never acts like that.
[mellow music playing]
We sever commercial ties according to the situation.
However, true devotion
never ends.
We can't be sure about other things,
but Hanuman
will surely be victorious.
He will leave no stone unturned in fulfilling Rama's task.
He will return with 108 blue lotuses.
My only worry is that
he might bring the entire mountain.
[Hanuman Chalisa playing]
Liberation is waiting for you.
It's time to contribute to our world's well-being.
[Hanuman Chalisa playing]
[Hanuman Chalisa continues playing]
These are only 107 flowers.
Where will I get one more flower?
No. I can't return until I complete
Rama's task.
O, Goddess Nature.
Please help me.
Please show me the way.
[conch-shell playing]
No.
It's a bud. A flower bud.
O, bud. You are my only hope.
Please bloom
and assist me in completing Rama's task.
Please bloom for the sake of justice,
righteousness, and for my Lord Shri Rama.
- [whooshing] - [conch-shell playing]
Hail Shri Rama!
[devotional music playing]
Wait a minute.
I hope I counted right.
I can't make a mistake.
I must recount these flowers.
"I bow down to Lord Shiva."
'Another ominous sign.'
'Lankesh, please discontinue the war.'
[mantra chanting]
'It's strange.'
'Both of them are Your ardent devotees.'
However, both of them are completely different.
One is standing by righteousness,
while the other is determined to spread unrighteousness.
One follows decorum,
while the other breaks it.
But both of them are performing this 'puja'
dedicatedly.
Who will pass
the test of devotion?
Who will get the blessings?
Goddess,
their 'yajna' is our test
and not theirs.
Because both of them deserve the result
after doing their karma.
Both of them deserve blessings
after the completion of their 'puja'.
The difference lies only in their intention.
One believes in giving
but the other believes in taking and snatching.
"Om!"
O, Chandrachuda.
O, Trilochana.
You own the three lokas.
Nothing happens
without Your order.
Everything that has happened so far
was according to Your order.
You always compared my devotion
to righteousness.
But I, Your Ravana,
have never lacked
in my devotion
and dedication towards You.
"I am divine consciousness."
"I am the only one."
"There is no other like me"
"in the past, present, or future."
Mahadeva,
You will never get a devotee like me in any other age.
Today, I, Your Ravana,
will compel You with the power of my 'yajna'
and my devotion
to bless me with victory.
A blessing
that will help me save Lanka and my honour.
Hail Mahadeva.
[conch-shell playing]
Lord, I completed your task.
"Hail powerful Hanuman."
The sage asked for 108 flowers.
I hope you counted them.
Did you count properly?
I will count once again.
I hope I didn't drop a flower on the way.
Hanuman, it's okay.
You brought the right number of flowers
because you are the one who brought them.
Hanuman can never make a mistake while doing Rama's task.
Lord, please let me count again.
You may count if you want.
I'll venerate Mahadeva in the meantime.
Because Goddess Mahagauri won't be appeased
if I don't venerate Mahadeva.

Goddess, can you see
their devotion towards me?
They are showing their faith in me.
However, the difference is still the same.
It's their intention.
On one hand, Shri Rama's hymn
shows Shri Rama's simplicity.
On the other hand, Ravana's hymn
reflects Ravana's energy.
['damaru' playing]
It's impossible
to overlook their intentions and devotion.
So
it's our duty
to negate unrighteousness
and uphold righteousness.
