Goddess,
Narayana has taken Rama's avatar
as a human being this time.
A human being, who feels pain,
faces problems,
and has enemies too.
And at times,
he'd need help from friends
to overcome his enemies.
Who could possibly
help Shri Rama?
I!
I'm Narayana's servant.
I'm His devotee,
I'm His friend
and His close one.
My partial avatar, Hanuman
is training an army of monkeys
to help Shri Rama.
[dramatic music playing]
'He is getting ready to guide Rama'
'under the supervision of his guru, sun.'
'He is teaching them warfare tactics and skills'
'in addition to religious knowledge and discipline.'
'However, '
'even Hanuman doesn't know'
'that Kishkindha will soon face serious trouble.'
[thunder cracking]
[thunder rumbling]
[suspenseful music playing]
[explosion]
[dramatic music playing]
Sugriva!
[bell clanging]
[theme song playing]
Well done!
Now, please keep these food items in Kishkindha's pantry
so that monkeys don't starve
during the spring season.
Everyone, hurry up!
Well done, Hanuman!
[epic music plays]
Greetings, king of vanaras, Sugriva!
Commander Hanuman, your decision-making is unmatched.
We are blessed
to have a commander like you.
Your vigilance gave me a new life.
Our kingdom faced famine
in the past
during heavy rainfall.
However, that won't be the case this time.
[suspenseful music playing]
The water level of the river is too high.
We must wait for the water level to decrease before we cross it.
King Sugriva, pessimists wait
for the situation to become favourable.
However, those who believe in karma
make the situations favourable.
Nala! Neela!
[drums beating]
Nala and Neela,
you two are intelligent as well as powerful.
I saw you two
build a bridge between two trees with the help of creepers.
So let's build a bridge to cross this river.
- We'll do as you say, commander! - We'll do as you say, commander!
[vocalising]
[water splashing]
[motivational music playing]
[vocalising]
[bamboos clinking]
[vocalising]
Bravo, Nala and Neela.
You two are the gems of the vanara clan.
One day your skill
will make the vanara clan proud!
Well done, Hanuman.
This feat wouldn't have been possible without your supervision.
No, Your Majesty.
We must credit the strategists.
The deserving ones are also the skilled ones.
It's Nala and Neela's achievement.
They slogged so they should be lauded.
Hanuman, eyes are the reflection of our hearts.
The purity and honesty in your eyes
show the purity and softness of your heart.
[dramatic music playing]
Commander, did you really like the bridge we built?
Of course!
It has one good point and also a drawback.
There would surely be a drawback but first, tell us the good point.
It's impossible to build a better bridge than this.
And what's the drawback?
Its strength.
If a warrior having the power of 100 elephants jumps on it,
this bridge will collapse.
Then this bridge is quite safe.
Only you are powerful enough
to break the bridge built by your order.
Please hurry up, commander.
We have to make arrangements for Prince Angada's coronation.
Your Majesty, please don't worry.
First, check the arrangements
we have already made.
[Sugriva chuckling]
How could I forget
that I have Hanuman by my side?
Let's go.
[Hanuman Chalisa playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[ethereal music playing]
Hanuman,
you have decorated Kishkindha so well that it appears heavenly.
The decoration is captivating.
Even Vishwakarma
wouldn't have been able to decorate so well.
[sweeping music playing]
Hey, insolent! Where do you think you are going?
[dramatic music playing]
[water splashing]
His Majesty Vali!
King Vali!
[epic music plays]
[dramatic music playing]
Sugriva!
[adventurous music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[vocalising]
[dramatic music playing]
[bell clanging]
This is Lord Indra's chariot.
He must have come to take Sage Sarabhanga with him.
We must rush.
Why is it important
for Shri Rama to meet Sage Sarabhanga?
Sage Sarabhanga is an important part of Shri Rama's life.
He is waiting on his deathbed for Shri Rama.
He wants to meet Rama
and fulfil his duty by helping him meet Sage Agastya.
Sage Sarabhanga's dutifulness is unparalleled.
He rejected Lord Indra's request
to come to heaven several times
just to fulfil his duty.
[dramatic music playing]
Greetings, Sage.
Sage, it's enough.
Please come to heaven with me
to reap the benefit of your good karma.
I've come to you
along with my chariot like always.
You always evade my request
and continue waiting for Rama.
Devraj, it's not right
to desire heaven when we have a chance to get liberated.
The goal of my life
is to lay my dead body
at Shri Rama's feet.
Shri Rama will surely come.
[joyful music playing]
Sage, you are right
but I won't leave empty-handed this time.
You must come to heaven with me.
[suspenseful music playing]
[theme music playing]
[music fades away]
[suspenseful music playing]
[joyful music playing]
I pay my respects, Sage.
[joyful music playing]
[intriguing music plays]
Please sit, Sage. Please be seated.
Rama.
You are here!
You heard my cry!
I have been pining for you
for thousands of years.
I have been holding my breath
just to see you.
I wanted to fulfil my duty
of showing you the way.
[melancholic music playing]
Sage, your dedication to your duty
is an inspiration for us.
We are lucky to get your blessings.
I was entrusted with the responsibility
of guiding you before I die.
I'll fulfil it
and die peacefully.
Rama,
you must meet
Sage Agastya to fulfil
your duty and your ultimate goal.
However, it's not easy to meet him.
He stays at a secret place
in the Dandaka forest.
He stays secluded
from this world and the violence.
If you want to meet him,
you must first find the tree
which resembles the face of a human being.
It'll guide you further.
Sage Agastya
is the source of light
which can illuminate the pathway
for dispelling the darkness
created by Ravana and his commander Khara.
Lord, please let me keep
my head in your lap and help me attain liberation.
Liberate me!
I'm exhausted.
[mellow music playing]
O, Rama!
[sombre music playing]
Sage Sarabhanga's wisdom
will continue to guide us.
Lakshmana, let's go
and do preparations for his last rites.
[melancholic music playing]
[pensive music playing]
Shri Rama,
I have a request.
Please take my chariot with you.
It'll help you
in this illusory forest.
Thank you for your offer, Devraj.
You are my father's friend
and you are fulfilling a friend's duty.
However, I don't need your divine chariot.
I'm riding the chariot of duty.
Moreover,
we can't overcome this forest's illusion with a weapon or a chariot.
We need to be honest and alert.
Lakshmana and I
will fulfil our task on our own.
My values don't allow me
to forego the right path and choose the easier path.
No matter how difficult it is,
I'll choose the path
destined for me.
As you wish, Shri Rama.
However, whenever you need me
and remember me,
my chariot will be at your service
along with the charioteer.
I hope
you'll give me at least one chance to serve you.
[sombre music playing]
[melancholic music playing]
Shri Rama,
I want to show you something
before you leave.
[tense music plays]
What kind of ash is blowing away with the wind?
[suspenseful music playing]
You may see it firsthand.
[suspenseful music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
These are the ashes of the innocent people
devoured by rakshasas.
Since the first person was cremated,
this fire hasn't died down
because a new person
is cremated in the same fire.
Now this fire has become so huge
that it'll never die down.
[dramatic music playing]
I, Dasharatha's son, Rama promise you
that I'll free this forest of Khara's terror!
I'll kill all the rakshasas living in this forest!
I'll establish
righteousness and peace in the Dandaka forest!
[inspirational music playing]
I vow
that I'll protect every living being who believes in me!
