Can fate’s decree be erased?

Can destiny’s script be rewritten?

Is this an illusion or black magic?

Dushtabuddhi weaves a grand conspiracy

Every story etched in the pages of history stirs our emotions.

But in each of them,

there is love...

A love weighed by sacrifice.

And upon that sacrifice, like a sword hanging over a warrior's brow,

stands vengeance - unyielding, unforgiving.

Arjuna : Oh Supreme Lord!

Krishna: Speak, Arjuna.

You promised me a great army for the battle,

But where are you taking me!

Look there, Arjuna

Magnificent! Which city is this, Oh Lord!

Which city is this, Oh Lord!

Arjuna, This is the kingdom of kuntala.

Does the king of this land command such a vast army?

His legions are beyond count, Arjuna. An unending ocean of warriors.

Krishna, Is he truly so mighty?

Before we meet him, I am eager to know more.

Who is he, Krishna?

Veera Chandrahasa

To the Lord Vighnesha, to Saraswati, to Parvathi, To the Guru, I bow in reverence.

To Dakshinamurthy, Who grants success in all deeds

To Dakshinamurthy, Who grants success in all deeds

In the sacred land of Amaravati

In the land of Amaravati, where the Kunthala gleam

As the vulture - eyed evil horde, comes to light

Emerged one who surrendered himself to Lord Hari

A saviour destined to protect the Kunthala throne, He ascended, shining with divine grace

Unfolds the divine tale of the soul, received Lord Hari's grace

In this beautiful story that I wove, Is this the fate’s design for the grand tale!?

The saga of the Valiant Chandrahasa moves ahead in wonder!

The saga of the Valiant Chandrahasa

The wandrous saga of Valiant Chandrahasa

Steeped in glory and marvel

Wonderful

THE MONASTERY OF KAPILA MAHARSHI

Salutations to you, Guruji

May you be blessed, children

Guruji, about the Chandrahasa who studied in our hermitage--

Huh!

- Not Chandrahasa - Then?

Veera Chandrahasa

Veera Chandrahasa

We are eager to learn about Veera Chandrahasa

Are you all eager to hear the legendary tale, children?

Yes, Guruji, indeed!

Before understanding the tale of Veera Chandrahasa...

Kuntala's minister, the man who pulled the strings of this tale

No, but a conspirator

You must first know the tale of that Dushta buddhi

Yes

Then, In the royal court of ministers...

The minister of Kuntala

THE ROYAL PALACE OF KUNTHALA

Dushtabuddhi, The minister of Kuntala

KUNTHALA COURTYARD

A merciless wicked being

Hey, cunning one! You, who dares to betray our divine King

A minister like you makes no difference whether alive or dead!

- Hey! - Ay!

Loyalty to the king,

There is no place for loyalty in this world!

Mark my words, One who falls into fire may escape

One bitten by a snake may survive,

But...

those who provoke this Dushtabuddhi will never live in this world.

Just to win the King's favor,

you thought you could unravel the web I have spun?

Hah! You have made a terrible mistake

You committed a fatal mistake by challenging Dushtabuddhi

You there

Throw this corpse beyond the fortress!

In the face of Garuda’s fury The serpent trembled in terror

Your Highness..!

Why this laughter?

My laughter is something that no one understands.

In a single laugh...

- ..lies many thoughts - What is that?

My greatest desire is to become the King of Kuntala.

Indeed!

And the time is also in my favor.

Huh

- After all - Hmm

- The King has no male heir. - No, he doesn’t!

The only one he has is a daughter, named Champakamalini.

yes!

- That princess... - Huh

- and my son, Madana - Hmm

If I get them married,

then my son will become the dear son-in-law of King Subuddhi.

Isn’t it?

- And for Princess Champakamalini... - Hmm...

...he will be the loving husband.

The decree has already been written by the king Subuddhi.

- That, his future son-in-law... - Hmm...

...shall inherit the throne of Kuntala.

Hmm...

One day, my son must gain this authority.

Isn’t it so?

- How is my idea? - It is good.

We must implement this plan as soon as possible.

Indeed!

- But... - Hmm...

- If someone questions me... - Who is there?

- There is one group. - Who?

The Brahmajnanis.

- The Pandiths. - Hmm...

First, we must silence them.

How, Your Highness?

There is a way, Anala.

What is it, Your Highness?

The Brahmajnanis are widely revered.

- So they say, so they say! - We shall arrange a grand feast.

Hmm

- Their stomachs will be full... - Hmm...

If their hands will be filled with generous offerings

If so?

The generosity of the food they have eaten

That is One

The generosity of the offerings they have received.

Another thing

It will make them speak nothing against us anywhere

- We must execute this plan as soon as possible. - Hmm.

Tomorrow, you make arrangements for the feast

As you command!

- Brahmajnanis who eat to their heart’s content... - Hmm...

should see me and be pleased.

Hmm

It will be akin to receive their blessings.

And at the same time, I should learn their opinion about me

Isn’t it so?

- First, go and make those arrangements! - As you command, Your Highness

In the scheme of the wicked minister,

in the attack of deception woven Who will know the hidden strings of fate?

Who else but Dushtabuddhi has the power to rewrite fate?

Amidst his roaring laughter, a thought emerges

Who in this world can comprehend the creator's play?

KUNTHALA'S BRAHMAJNANIS QUARTER

Hey... Savitri!

What is it?

The minister has summoned me. I am heading there alright?

Don’t you have any other work?

Why do you say that?

The king’s palace,

the ministers’ house-It’s a routeen for you now.!

Eating there, sleeping here.

Let’s do one thing.

- What? - From tomorrow, I’ll just stay at home

You go and do the work of a priest instead!

It's always the same with you!

If I say something, you have a reply for everything.

Have you ever taken me out,

Never.

- Come home, you! - What are you plotting?

I'll make you eat mud for dinner.

That’s fine with me, no problem.

But don’t forget to make drumstick sambar!

Aha

Wipe your drool off! Drumstick sambar, ah? Drumstick sambar!

What are you saying?

Haven’t you heard the proverb?

Even if a tamarind tree grows old, does its sourness ever fade?

You will never grow old, will you? Just leave!

As the Brahmajnani walked along the path, A quiet curiosity stirred within him.

Om Namo Narayanaya!

Through the whispers of the trees, A secred voice floats on the breeze

With great wonder and auspicious signs, A boy chanting ''Sri Hari Narayana''

With great wonder and auspicious signs

What is this boy doing here in this solitude?

Om Namo Narayanaya

Oh, child!

Huh!

- Who are you, My Lord? - Don't be scared, dear one

Come here

The sacred Shaligrama stone shines with divine grace

Shaligrama!

A symbol of great Rajayoga

Six toes adorn his foot

- A mark of separation from his father - Give me your hand, child. Rajayoga!

Oh!

Oh, child... Who are you?

- I don’t know. - Who are your parents?

- That too, I don’t know. - Where is your home?

I know nothing of that, Swami.

You don’t know anything?

- Alright, will you come with me? - Yes!

- Destined for a glorious future - Come, child. Come

KUNTHALA PALACE SUBDIVISION

- Oh ho, Brahmajnani! Welcome. - Don't be afraid, child. Stand here, alright?

- Minister... - I have been expecting you

Oh, really?

I had something to ask you, Brahmajnani.

Oh, I came here...

- ..to tell you something important too! - No, no. Let me ask first

No, let me say it first!

Brahmajnani, I’ve been waiting for a long time.

I must ask first.

Fine, fine. Go ahead.

Yesterday, we had arranged a grand feast for the Brahmajnanis.

Yes.

I didn't get the chance to speak with you properly.

Yes, true.

How was our hospitality and the meal?

- The feast? - Huh

So, were you satisfied or not?

Look, I just praised the taste.

If a full-stomach man praises, it's fine.

But if a hungry man does, it’s trouble!

That's why, to show my satisfaction,

Alright, Swami.

- And those excellent kadubu - I had already instructed them

when serving the Brahmajnanis, don’t hold back. Serve generously!

- And those ladoo - Huh!

- Not just ladoo. - What else?

- Laddu! - What is that, Brahmajnani?

- Ladoo and Laddu are different! - How can they be different?

Aren't they the same?

- Ladoo is small. - Ohhh!

And Laddu is big!

- Is that so? - Absolutely!

You Brahmajnanis have a lot of knowledge about food.

- Not just that. - Hmm?

Such Holige!

Ah! What a grand Holige!

Aah!!!

- Subbanna! - What is it, Subbanna?

I don’t see your banana leaf anymor, where did it go?

Oh, that? Didn’t they generously smear ghee all over the leaf?

Yes, they did!

Well, I thought that was part of the feast, so I ate the whole leaf too!

Henceforth, there won’t be a single cow left in our village!

- All the cows will leave our village. - Why do you say that?

There won’t be any banana leaves left for them to eat!

You’ve finished them all today. Poor cows! What will they do now?

Ah! What a grand feast!

After eating such a meal, one wouldn’t be able to get up for seven days!

- Oh dear! - That means it was that filling, right?

If you are happy, then we are happy too!

- Absolutely! - There was no issue with the offerings, I hope?

Oh no, we were given so generously that we won’t be poor even in our next lives!

Meaning?

We received so much that even after distributing and sharing,

- we still had plenty left! - Good, good!

But despite all this satisfaction,

I came here to tell you something important.

What is it?

- While coming here, - Hmm

I saw many children on the way

- Among them, one caught my attention. - Hmm

- The moment I saw him, I felt something. - What do you mean?

I had a strong curiosity to know more about him.

Is that so?

- That’s why I brought that boy with me. - Where?

Here he is!

What’s the matter with you, Brahmajnani?

Why?

You said you had something important to tell me,

I thought it must be something significant.

- So I was eagerly listening. - Is that so?

After all,

you bring some ordinary boy and ask me about him?

Huh!

- To sum him up in one word, - Hmm.

- He is nothing but a burden to this earth. - This boy?

Hah! Foolish one.

Brahmajnani, thousands of worms crawl in dung.

- yet under the scorching sun, - Hah!!.

They wither into dust.

Ofcourse!

Their existence doesn’t mean anything!

Born or dead-it changes nothing.

you brought a mere beggar here and expect me to care?

Tch!

If you have something truly important to discuss, then speak!

- Your Highness.. - What now?

You may call him a beggar now

What else could he be?

He may look like an ordinary boy today,

Hmm.

- But do you know why I brought him? - Why?

Have you observed his facial features?

Look closely-His face radiates the majestic charm of royalty.

Not only that...

I can predict his future!

Your Highness..

this boy was born into a royal lineage.

Him?!

Now I understand your nature.

What do you mean?

You must have learned a little bit of astrology here and there

And now you wanted to show off that knowledge in front of me!

- No, no! - Isn’t that right?

Not at all, your Highness. Astrology never lies!

- This boy is not just from a royal family - Then?

One day, he will become a king!

If not, I will give up astrology altogether.

- This boy? - Yes

- He will become a king? - No doubt about it.

- Brahmajnani... - Yes?

Don’t think I am rejecting your words outright.

But if you claim that he will become a king,

Do you have the ability to say where exactly he will rule?

- It’s not about ruling just anywhere - Huh

He will rule right here, over Kuntala!

Don’t say such things recklessly.

- For him to become the king of Kuntala, - Hmm

does he have any relation to King Subuddhi?

No, he doesn’t.

Then how will he become king?

Is it impossible for him?

On what basis are you saying this?

It’s not just a wild guess.

He will marry the princess of Kuntala...

..and eventually rule this land!

This is his destiny.

I know this news doesn’t make you happy, your highness.

- He will marry the princess!! - He certainly will.

- And becomes the king of Kuntala! - Certainly he will..

This boy will rule.

That’s why I have one request for you.

- You and your men - Hmm

Must keep an eye on such children.

Your attention must be on him.

That’s why I brought him here.

Brahmajnani

Yes?

I won’t just keep an eye on him

- I will keep both my eyes on this boy! - That’s exactly what I wanted to hear

Now I have confidence.

- I am truly delighted, Brahmajnani! - Good, good.

You ate to your heart’s content.

And now you have filled my mind with thoughts!

Very well, I have done my duty. Keep a watchful eye on him

Absolutely.

I will take my leave now.

Of course.

The deadly venomous serpent’s lineage, In the lake of crocodiles,

Floats like a sacred pond of lotus

The withered forest is ablaze

hiding its cruel nature, just like a noble soul with a virtuous facade.

Come here.

Child!

Child... what is your name?

I don’t know.

- Who are your parents? - I don’t know that either.

Oh dear!

You don’t even know who your parents are?

No...

Where is your village, child?

I don’t know, Swami.

You don’t know anything at all?

I know nothing..

Poor thing! Poor thing! Poor thing!

He seems harmless, but sharp like a thorn, yet he contemplates openly.

Will he let the boy go now? The cunning one is lost in thought.

Child.

Have you eaten?

No.

Are you hungry?

Yes.

I will feed you well, alright?

Hu..

Hey!

This child must be starving.

Take him to the dining hall over there

and let him eat as much as he wants.

Wait!

Keep this child with you for a while, understand?

Can fate’s decree be erased?

Can destiny’s script be rewritten?

Is this an illusion or black magic? Dushtabuddhi weaves a grand conspiracy

THE HIDDEN LAIR OF ASSASSINS

Hey!

A mere beggar boy, from nowhere, claiming Kuntala’s throne?!

Hey!!

As long as Dushtabuddhi is alive, How can that tranpire?!

My plans are unshakable-no force, not even Lord Brahma himself, can undo them!

Ay!

Yes, my lord!

Listen carefully!

Hu!!

The royal guards will be bringing a boy with six toes on his left foot.

Take him into the forest.

Without anyone noticing

cut his head off !!

And bring me proof! Understood?

This is the reward for the task

As you command, my lord!

Hmm

Destiny...

Fate...

I , Dushtabuddhi, the one who rewrites fate!

A heart of stone fulfills its own desires,

Fulfills its own desires.

THE DENSE FOREST OF KUNTALA AND CHANDANAVATHI

The child is innocent, but what does it matter now?

Oh god!

- What are you waiting for? Finish him! - Please, let me go! Don't harm me!

Here it is my lord!

My lord, as per your orders,

The boy has been killed.

I have brought his severed finger as proof. Please accept it.

Ha! Among the boys, the one who shines like the moon,

will he become the king of Kuntala?

The boy meant to rule...

Now he lies in a murderer’s lair instead!

The Brahmajnanis' words have been proven false.

It is I, Dushtabuddhi, who has rewritten destiny!

Fate?

No! It is human effort that shapes fate!

The womb of time now witnesses a brutal dance of cruelty

The womb of time now witnesses a brutal dance of cruelty

The blade is stained, but fate turns green

The deep path of Kuntala now echoes a different tune

A mere whim of fate changes a ruler’s destiny.

ROYAL PALACE OF CHANDANAVATHI

VALOR DUEL OF THE FEUDAL LORDS

With supreme valor pledged as a vow on the battlefield

A true warrior king of this land, Veera Simha

Standing before the glorious sword of power, exalted upon the resplendent golden seat,

I now defy the very laws of combat!

Having vanquished my enemy, I trample upon his fallen chest!

Who dares question my victory?

Who has the courage to challenge me? The proud mountain of arrogance trembles

O Veerasimha,

we are warriors who have thrived under the shadow of the great Mutturaja Shivaputtaswami!

His courage, resilience, and valor...

..run in the very blood of this land!

Just as it is a virtue to bow before righteousness,

It is our tradition of Kuntala to rise against injustice and tyranny!

Ay!

By direspecting the war mettle, do you tend to win via conspiracy?

If you dare to challenge me, face me in battle!

If I fail to bring you down and place your severed head at the feet of Shivaputtaswami!

I shall renounce my name, Chandrahasa of Chandanaavathi!

Chandrahasa! Your mere arrogance is not enough to defeat the feudatories.

Every mother wishes for her son to be a brave and valiant warrior.

Before ascending the throne

you must send gifts to Maharaja Subuddhi of Kuntala Desha,

the revered sage Galava, and the chief minister Dushtabuddhi.

Mother,

It is our duty as the next generation to carry forward the traditions of our ancestors.

Yes.

ROYAL COURT OF CHANDANAVATI Highness!

I almost tripped and fell! Highness!

Messenger, may all be well. Get up

The tax messenger has packed his bags and rushed here as commanded!

I ran all the way!

Stand still, don't worry. Take a breath.

No, no, Your Highness, I can't rest!

You have done something that has put me in a difficult position.

Hey!

So, you mean to say I must make a mistake for you to leave this town?

No, Your Highness

- you asked me a question! - Yes, I did. There is a reason for it.

You must now go to the Kuntala Kingdom.

But,

Your Highness, what trouble transpired here for me to leave this place?

So, just because trouble arises, you think you must move to another place?

I have survived all these days by collecting taxes from your people.

- And now, will you continue to survive? - Why?

- By collecting taxes from me! - No, not from you

- Exactly! - Uh-huh

That is why you must go to Kuntala.

But why?

To deliver the royal tax gifts.

Did you forget?

Huh!

Did you forget?

- Hey! It's memory. - Yes

Recently I delivered the royal tax gifts

- But listen, the tax you delivered last time - Haa

That was the annual tax.

And now?

Today’s tax is a special one

Meaning?

- Because - Haa

Who ascended the throne today?

- Oh... You! You! You! - Exactly

So, in honor of my coronation,

you must deliver this special tax to Kuntala.

So, this isn’t the usual tax?

No, not at all.

Then... is it an extra tax?

- No! It's not that. - Huh?!

Not extra! The royal tax!

- Extra tax? - Again!

- So... who all should I deliver it to? - There is a list. -Hmm

- To whom - Hmm

- First, to Maharaja Subuddhi of Kuntala. - Hmm

- Then, to the Maharani. - Hmm

- To the revered sage Galava. - Hmm

And most importantly...

..to the chief minister Dushtabuddhi!

Deliver these gifts properly!

Don’t worry, Your Highness! I will make sure they receive it! The brave Chandrahasa has sent forth his royal tax

The emissary takes it and rides swiftly

THE WEST FORT OF KUNTALA

To deliver what is due, but who shall listen to his tales?

Salutations, O mighty, wise, and ever-so-brilliant Dushtabuddhi!

Ay!

It's Salutations

May you be well

- Who offered greetings? - I told you so, your highness

- And I just fixed what you said wrong. - Ha! Ha! Ha!

Alright, alright. Just tell me what brings you here.

- A grand salutation to you, Highness! - Ay!

Oh!

Who are you?

We...

We ? As in who?

- We... from Chandanavati. - Oh-ho!

Ah, Chandanavati!

- Yes, your highness - What is this?

This is Kappa Kaanike.

Kappa... what?

Tax offering

Tax offering?

Yes, Highness.

Have you lost your mind?

Do you smell something?

- Smell what? - The stench of madness!

- Not that - Huh

- I asked if you've lost your mind - Who, me?

This tax offering, which is supposed to be given annually

Huh

is suddenly here ahead of time. Why?

Well, it’s not the usual tax.

- Not an annual tax - No

Oh? Then what kind of tax is this?

A special tax, Highness.

- Special tax? - Yes

- A death?! - What your highness?

- Is Kulinda passed away? - What?!

What kind of loss? Who died? When? Where? How?

- Why are you jumping to conclusions, Highness? - Why?

Because it's a special tax...

- ..you speak of death - Shut your mouth

Do you speak of my death?

- You? - Yes

Sattsuddi

I enquired the demise of Kulinda

- This... - He's still alive, your highness

- Kulinda is alive - Yes

He did not!

You mean to say that he should be died

- Nothing of that sort - Huh

Him being alive,

I am not following the reason for this special tax

Highness Kulinda has not passed away

Highness Kulinda stepped down

- Did Kulinda stepped down? - Yes he did

And who has taken his place?

His son, Highness.

Ay!

- He gave the throne to - To his son

Are you even aware of whom you're talking to?

Of course, Highness.

Do you think I don’t know about Kulinda’s family?

Which one?

His wife, Medhavini,

A barren land can’t grow crops!

But, Highness, have you ever seen a frog lay eggs?

Ah, so now barren rice fields will sprout new crops?

And will the moon shine on a new moon night?

ENOUGH!

Does a rabbit have horns?

- Can an elephant grow an extra leg? - Shut up!

you're saying Kulinda did have children?

Well... not exactly his children, Highness.

- Messenger - Forgive! Forgive!

- You mean two - No your highness

- Shantamma-Paapamma - Forgiveness

Yes your hightness

My highness Kulinda is a faithful husband

You mean to say that he gained interest over other women?

Nothing of that sort, your highness

Faithful to a single wife

Kulinda is a faithful husband to a single wife

Yes

Then explain yourself

Let's just say... Kulinda had a unique way of looking at the women of his kingdom.

I swear, if you continue talking like this, I will break your bones!

Give it some thought

What's their to ponder over it?

I mean to say,

Kulinda had a unique way of looking at the women but never tained by ill intent.

- Kulinda is not into other women - No your highness

Then disclose the truth to me

Huh

- How Kulinda got the son? - You mean that

He has chosen the son as an heir

- You mean, Kulinda has not one son, rather... - Huh

Well, Kulinda has many potential heirs

I mean to say because he has chosen a found child as an heir.

Throne to a found child!!

- Kulinda found a child? - Right

Where? When?

It's...

To mention that we have to head back

Come

- I didn't mean behind. - Hmm

Around 10 to 16 years ago,

Your tale is not the current one

Is this a tale bumdleing back 10 to 16 years?

DENSE FOREST OF KUNTALA AND CHANDANAVATHI

- Kappadoota! - Yes, Highness?

As the Ruler of Chandanavati,

Huh

I have led you all into the wilderness for a hunt. -Yes

We have successfully completed three rounds of hunting.

- Indeed, Highness. - What to do?

Huh

But not a single beast has shown itself to us.

The gods must be displeased.

I am clueless as to why gods are displeased with us

Well, as they say, if the gods don’t bless you today, maybe tomorrow they will!

- What to do now? - For now, let us rest.

Huh

We brought the meals with us

Yes, I have it

We shall eat, rest,

and prepare for the next hunt.

A fine idea, Highness.

We had barely sat down to eat when suddenly a lion roared in the distance!

- To roar and charge ahead, - Narayana! Narayana!

Narayana!

yet filled with great fear, the young boy trembled

Praying for Lord Hari to resolve his troubles,

Narayana

He sought for Hari to remain steadfastm in his heart.

Narayana

Is that true, O Lord with five faces?

Narayana!

Is that true, O Lord with five faces? A sound was heard, Highness! That sound made us get up.

Your Shraddha, Highness!

I'll do your Shraddha if you’re not careful!

Oh... your Sha...

- Oh, wait a minute... - Yes

Just half a minute passed.

Sri Hari Narayana, Sri Hari Narayana!

What? Does Narayana have no other work

than arranging sarees

No... It's chanting of god's name

Oh!!! Chanting of god's name

- Sriman Narayana - Yes

- So Kulindaappa said - What?

- In the forest - Hmm

He must be a child of a Nushi.

Nushi?!

- Nushi's children! - Oh... you mean Rishi children!

We lied down assuming that

- But No - What?

- Again, it happened! - Hmm

Somebody Pakadi... Somebody Pakadi...

- Somebody Pakadi... - Ay!

Ehy?! You mean ‘Somebody Kapadi’!

- Do Raskane! - Drat you!

Oh, you mean ‘Rakshane’!

Hmm

That’s why Kulindaappa said,

Somewhere, something has gone wrong.

- Narsi children! - Hmm!

- Narsi children?! - You mean Arasi for children!

Exactly!

- Search and find them! - Yes, Highness!

- We went on for a search - Hmm

As the mighty ruler ventured into the forest, Engaged in the thrill of a royal hunt

He beheld a helpless child

Rescued and embraced it with care.

The earth rejoiced, singing his praises.

- When we had a look at him.. - Huh!

Some wretched rogues

- They chopped, - They chopped!!

A toe from left foot of that child.

That child's...

Left foot's one toe got cut off.

Drat!

Poor child

What?

What a pity! Poor child!

Who wouldn’t feel pity for that?!

He is a small child!

Yes, Highness!

If one toe from the left foot got cut off, That means..

Oh Poor boy!!

Really what a pity

Now that child has only four toes on one foot, right?

No, Highness!

Then?

Now five plus five equals five, Highness!

Now it exactly balanced, five plus five.

Count this

Five

If one is removed, how many?

Four

On one foot, how many toes are there?

Five

If one is removed, how many?

Four

Then how can you still say five?

How much is this?

That’s six!

If one is removed, how many?

Five remains.

Then in the left leg, one extra came, Highness!

A lone and weak young boy wandered into the depths of the forest

- Hunting like a warrior, He looked at the child and smiled warmly - Extra toe in the left leg.

There was an extra toe in left foot

That's right

- Six toes - Yes, highness

Then what happened?

We gently carried the child and returned to the palace

The child, taken into the loving embrace of the Kulinda couple,

Began to grow, bearing the name Chandrahasa.

For education, he joined the hermitage of Sage Kapila.

That means, he became a part of this Gurumatha.

He grew up with unparalleled excellence.

He mastered all sixty-four arts and became a scholar in all disciplines and attained great wisdom,

Ascended the throne of Chandnavati as the valiant Chandrahasa.

- The one who was found in the forest - Yes!

- They cut off one of his fingers? - Yes!

- They brought him in and gave him an education? - Yes, Highness

And now that Chandrahasa has come of age, they have crowned him in Chandnavati?

Yes!

Because of that..

Because of that

He gave this ‘Teppada Pakka”

Ay!

P...I’ll slap you now. “Pattada Kappa”!

Pa...Pa...

Ay!

"Pattada Kappa”

Yes!

Take this and give “Aasige”

What?

Harsirvaad!

- Oh, you meant aashirvaad? - Yes, yes!

Blessings!! You are not even close to what you said.

- I am very happy - Yes, yes

Finally the arrangements were made for that child. That’s it. - Yes, yes

Hearing all this makes me feel full already.

- The royal tax is for us right! - Ofcourse yes.

- Make sure you deposit this in the treasury. - Sure.

- Then - Ha.

Today, let’s sit together and,

Have a grand feast. What do you say?

Ah... no, Highness

Why are you hesitating to eat?

- Is this our home, to be generous.! - Meaning?

- We can only be generous in our own home. - Why?

After all, if it remains, It's still in our house.

Alright! Come, let's have some food at our place.

"Ah... No way!

Didn’t you hear?

Today, it’s been said again and again no eating, no eating, no eating!"

Ay!

Eat!

We have a Rata today.

- Rat? - Hmm

- What kind of Rat is that? - Ekadashi Rat.

- Oh, Vrath? - Yes, exactly!

Ekadashi Vrath?

Yes! When our dear Chandappa took the throne,

he ordered everyone to obay it.

He ordered it.

Oh, so it must be obayed.

Yes, Highness

And he even told us how to follow it.

How?

Today is your Tithi!

Whose Tithi?

- Today’s Tithi? - Today is Ek...Doshi!

Ekadashi!

Yesterday was Dashami, Highness

Yesterday was Dashami.

Tomorrow is Do...Dosi!

- Dwadashi! - Yes!

One meal on Dashami day.

One meal on Dashami.

On Ekadoshi day, Neer Haara!

Go Die, why should I care?

Nir Haara Nirahara!

You can’t even touch anything.

- Can’t eat anything. - Exactly!

- But if needed - Huh

just a little

- What kind? - “Chulchi Theerta”

Drat!

Tulasi Teertha!!

- Hey! - Don’t laugh, Highness

- Why? Don’t I have the freedom to laugh? - It's not like that, your Highness

When you laugh, your face looks like a mighty dead lion!

Don't you remember what a living lion looks like?

Highness, I’ve never seen a living lion.

So, because of this Ekadashi fast, you won’t eat with us today?

That's the only reason stoping me, Your Highness

- Not because you dislike us? - Never, Highness

Very well!

After hearing all this,

I feel like visiting Chandanavati.

- Come and take a look! - Meaning?

You’ll see how much progress has been made!

- Progress? - Yes, Highness

- I will come to see. - Please do, Highness.

You stay here today, and tomorrow have a lunch before leaving.

- The mind wavers, burdened by the act committed - Ha... ha... Your wish, highness! -Alrigt.

A child abandoned in the forest

what fate awaits the innocent? Astonishing to behold

My son, Chandrahasa.

My son

may the blessings of Goddess Kolhapur Ambika always be upon you.

Dear child, you seem worried today.

What happened?

Won't you share it with me?

A ruler who wears the crown must bear its burdens.

Similarly, I was reflecting on the responsibility you entrusted to me the other day, Mother

- My child - Mother

You displayed your strength before the feudal lords and emerged victorious

Hmm.

You earned your title through your merit, my son.

Hmm.

Seeing that, this mother's heart is filled with pride, my son.

- Yes - But remember, my child,

Claiming the throne is not the greatest challenge

Safeguarding what has been gained is..

You know why?..

If you ever lose yourself in power, arrogance,

you may lose a hundredfold of what you have gained.

So, my wish is that no matter what happens,

You must always uphold the honour and prestige of Kuntala.

Likewise, you must protect our Chandanavati, my son.

Yes, You have to protect, my son.

Anala!

Your Highness

Did you hear what the Tax Messenger said?

I heard everything, indeed.

There is an uncanny resemblance between what he said today and the events of the past.

If so, did those bandits deceived me in the end?

- It could be possible. - Did Chandrahasa survive?!

- Suspicious, indeed! - The truth must be uncovered at any cost!

Hmm.

- Anala! - Highness!

Make arrangements to leave for Chandanavati at the earliest. Go!

As you command!

Mother, with your blessings, I have mastered all forms of knowledge.

As the saying goes, Courage is the key to all achievements,

I have earned the title of Veera Chandrahasa.

Chandrahasa!

Chandrahasa!

You should have been climbing the gallows,

Instead, ascended the throne of Chandanavati?

If I let this go, there is no doubt that you will overthrow me

and become the sovereign of Kuntala!

This Chandrahasa wields his strength only for truth and righteousness.

The one who has overturned all my efforts,

The very thorn in my flesh, O wretched imposter!

You dare to strike the doors of fate itself

Oh, wretched being of misfortune!

The earth may tremble, the oceans may rise in turmoil,

But sacrificing my breath for truth brings joy to my soul.

Even if my head is severed for the protection of this land,

I will embrace death as a warrior’s honor!

No!

Until I play with your severed head,

This Dushtabuddhi will find no rest!

No rest at all!

My thirst for the throne of Kuntala

To my sword...

..your blood is the only fuel to quench it!

If ever a time comes when I must lose my head,

I will first behead the wicked and quench the thirst of Mother Earth!

This Chandrahasa!

Did the words of the Brahmajnani turned out to be true?

WEST FORT OF KUNTALA

If Chandrahasa has indeed ascended the throne of Chandanavati,

I will soon see to it that his neck shatters by my own hands!

Buddhi, why do you let your anger consume you so? The evil minister, Dushtabuddhi, ascended the chariot of doom,

The evil minister, Dushtabuddhi, ascended the chariot of doom,

CHANDANAVATHI

- His deceitful ways, locked in his own heart, unable to be opened. - Om namo Narayanaya namaha

The moonlit heart, which transformed into a divine realm.Kuntala's minister Dushtabuddhi is arriving at Chandanavati's court

THE ROYAL COURT OF CHANDANAVATHI

Woah!

Ahh! What a strange thing, Kulinda.

You are the feudal lord of Kuntala, aren’t you?"

What arrangements are being made here?

I am confused whether I have come to Chandanavati or Amaravati.

- To say that-- - It seems like you’ve got a son

Yes, yes

- What’s his name? - Chandrahasa.

Ah! Chandrahasa.

After hearing about this, I couldn't wait any longer.

- I came here to meet Chandrahasa and finish him soon - Ha...!! Finish him? What do you mean?

- I came here to wrap up the situation by meeting him. - Ministers like you are all caught up in political matters.

That’s why we must finish this and move on.

- I’m very happy. - Where is your prince?

He will be here soon

You there.

Go and call for Chandrahasa.

Om namo narayanaya namaha

Om namo--

Excuse me, Prince..

What is it?

Highness has asked you to visit the court urgently

Alright, I will

Oh ho! I offer my respects to the minister of Kuntala, Dushtabuddhi.

How charming!

From head to toe, from toe to head, sheer elegance!

Just as your name suggests, you truly are Chandrahasa.

Indeed, Chandrahasa!

Such a sweet and innocent face.

Oh no!

- Oh no! - What happened?

- Oh nooo! - What happened, great minister?

Tell me, what happened, Minister?!

This is a crucial political matter!

I completely forgot to inform my son, Madana, about it.

Oh no!

Everything has gone wrong!"

Tch! I must leave for Kuntala immediately!

Guruji, so has Dushtabuddhi left from there?

No.

Dushtabuddhi is not someone who acts without a strategy.

He counters deceit with even greater deceit.

No need, leave it! I will go to Kuntala myself and make the necessary arrangements.

- Honorable Minister! - What is it?

- A humble request. - What request?

Please do not consider me disrespectful for speaking while my elders are conversing.

Hmm.

If you agree,

I will go there instead of you.

Well, well! What a bold statement!

Indeed! I was thinking the same.

If you went, that would be even better.

After all, you are a king.

How can I ask such things outright to a king?

After all, he once held the position of a minister.

If you have already made up your mind to leave,

then I shall personally send you.

- But first, do something, Chandrahasa. - What is it?

- Prepare to leave. Okay.! - Sure.

- I will write a letter and hand it to you. - Alright

- Father. - Yes, my son?

- I'll be in preparation for my journey. - Make all the necessary arrangements.

Bless me.

ROYAL GUEST HOUSE OF CHANDANAVATHI

Command me, Highness

Chandrahasa has set out from Chandanavati to Kuntala.

If he reaches there,

the minister might change his mind,

and then either Madana will ascend the throne,

or Chandrahasa will

But my plan, strategy... is entirely different.

For that, you must carry out a task on my behalf.

Chandrahasa has already departed, hasn't he?

Hm-hmm

Burning with the flames of Gomini’s greed

Burning with the flames of Gomini’s greed

Somahasa’s fate is woven by destiny.

Command me!

Hey!

If you carry out the task exactly as I instructed,

You will have a life time settlement

If you fail...

..your own life will be settled in hell.

We understand very well what will happen if the task is not completed.

Command me! Your highness.

Ahaha!

There is no need for anyone to be worried.

ROYAL COURT OF MADANA RAYAOF KUNTALA Do you know the mighty Kanteerava?

Do you, gentlemen?

Some say it was Dushtabuddhi who held that position in Kuntala.

But his time is over!

Now that I am here, think carefully and realize who has arrived

Madanaraya himself!

Just as you all supported my father until now,

I only ask that you extend the same support to me.

I have taken charge!

If there is anything special or any problem,

feel free to bring it to me.

- Prince - Huh

Unemployment is a major issue troubling our Kuntala Kingdom.

We seek your solution for this.

Unemployment is not just in Kuntala, but everywhere!

I have a brilliant idea for this problem.

Do one thing

Close all the wells in the town!

Don’t panic! Don’t worry!

People will still need water to drink, won’t they?

Instead of thinking too much, just dig another well next to the closed one!

Look, this plan provides employment twice

One group will be employed to close the wells,

and another to dig new ones.

There! The unemployment problem is solved.

Isn’t my idea brilliant?

Yes, this is a great plan!

I will introduce many such schemes during my reign!

You all must wait for me.

I have some important work and will return soon

Until then, wait for me! Understood?

Right now, at least he managed to exit in the right direction of the court

Hmm

I swear to God!

But when it's time for him to return, I have no faith that he will return.

Huh.

This is not just a letter written by Dushtabuddhi to Chandrahasa

ROYAL GUEST HOUSE OF CHANDANAVATHI

It is a direct message from Yama to Chandrahasa.

Call Chandrahasa to come here.

He is on his way.

Cruel-minded Veera Simha’s thirst for power

THE ABODE OF VEERA SIMHA IN KALYANI

Cruel-minded Veera Simha’s thirst for power

Joins hands with Anala’s betrayal.

Where will the deceitful one end up?

Why do the earth and the sky shelter such conspirators?

Chandrahasa!

I have written Chandrahasa’s fate in this letter.

Is that so?

The one who writes his destiny is not Brahma

- It is this Dushtabuddhi! - Absolutely

- Minister, I offer you my respect. - Ha ha ha! Chandrahasa,

Are you well prepared for your journey?

I have made all the necessary arrangements.

I have mentioned an important political matter in this letter.

Huh.

You must take it to Kuntala.

My son, Madana, is there in the royal palace.

No one should know about this

Summon him alone and hand over this letter

Once you do that, your duty is complete, Chandrahaasa

Your journey is complete

Now, go.

- Minister - Hmm

I humbly accept this duty and will proceed as instructed.

Hmm.

I shall return once the task is done.

- Come back soon. - Namo Namah!

Go.

He has no idea where he is headed.

Like a nephew walking straight into his uncle’s trap!

- And where is he headed? - Where?

To the lair of his executioner!

And he doesn’t even know it!

Go, Chandrahasa.

- Let him go! - Go!

Let him go!

Go to a place from where there is no return!

CHANDRAHASA AND HIS FRIEND'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE FOREST TO KUNTALA

- My friend - Yes?

- We've just began our journey from Chandanaavati, - Yes

- The great minister Dushtabuddhi - Yes

He instructed us to go to Kuntala and deliver this letter, didn’t he? -Yes

DENSE FOREST OF KUNTALA AND CHANDANAVATHI

- And now, we have left that place behind. - Yes

Look, it is the middle of the night.

- Yes - We are in a dense forest.

- Someone has lit a fire here for us? - That's true.

Let us rest here for a while before we continue our journey.

Yes

In the meantime, fetch some water for our horse.

- As you command, my lord. - Go on

As you command, my friend

Under the shade of the tree, Chandrahasa rests

Upon his chest, the divine consort stands.

Who can truly understand the king's grand play?

Will he be trapped, the one who has been blessed by the grace of Lord Hari?

What unfolds next in the tale?

What more is there to say?

Narayana!

Like the fire of destruction, the fierce wind

Like the fire of destruction, the fierce wind

Like the roaring thunder and flashing lightning

Like the roaring thunder and flashing lightning

Like the radiant sun with its million rays

A warrior rose upon the earth

A sight beyond comprehension, a marvel untold!

A sight beyond comprehension, a marvel untold!

Amidst the wicked schemes of the vile beast

The fearless warrior stood unwavering

As arrows rained and the battle raged He swiftly raised the serpent-weapon

Surrendering to Hari. Unleashing supreme heroism in his fight.

Veera Chandrahasa!

Veera Chandrahasa!

Veera Chandrahasa!

Veera Chandrahasa!

Veera Chandrahasa!

JOURNEY OF CHANDRAHASA WITH HIS FRIEND TOWARDS KUNTALA Oh Shashihasa, rest along with your companion, on the way to Kuntala

KOTE NARASIMHA SWAMI TEMPLE, KUNTALA The writings of destiny unfold, ho can truly understand the ways of the world?

The writings of destiny unfold, ho can truly understand the ways of the world?

Seek refuge in Madhava

- Do you see it? - Look at the temple

Huh.

- Which temple is this? - Hmm

- The one I worship - Hmm

- The temple of Lord Srimannarayana. - Yes, indeed.

Observe closely

O Lord, you have protected me so far. May your blessings always be upon me

- My friend - Yes my friend

- Did you see? - I am still looking

When I see this temple, It fills the heart with immense joy

Anyone would feel the same

- Not just this temple. - Not at all.

- We also witnessed the beautiful gardens around. - What a free beauty!

- The beauty of your karma - No, my friend, isn’t it that?

- Not that! - Hmm

- Nature’s Beauty - It’s impossible to see!

- My friend - Yes my friend.

- When you look at this temple - When I look at it?

It appears so majestic and unique

I will find the way and return shortly

Return as soon as possible

- Until then, you should rest here - Agreed.

- Don’t change your resting spot. - I will stay here... agreed.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to find you again. - Alright.

Laid down the sheets to sleep and rest

Sleep smiling in the depth of eyes

Life is a foundation of countless questions

Fate has planted its roots with an unknown name

Seeing him, she is filled with joy

Oh my!

What a wonder!

Leaving all my companions behind

and coming to the temple alone, what a good decision I've made!

I had already felt on my way here,

that something auspicious was about to happen today.

And now, I see him!

Ah! Seeing him feels as if I am looking at a royal prince.

Who could he be?

But what do I have to do with him?

Still... why do I feel this way when I look at him?

Ah... Now I understand!

Who else could he be...?

It must be him

Overwhelmed by the feelings in her heart

With joyful excitement in my heart

She hesitates as she walks towards him

Blushing, stepping back, then coming forward again

Unsure of how to contain her emotions

She quickly moves forward once more.

Overwhelmed by the feelings in her heart

She hesitates as she walks towards him

Oh my!

Why do I feel this way when I see him?

I want to keep looking at him

I want to talk to him... but how?

What he gets angry if I wake him up?

Why is he not waking up?

I must get to know him!

Wait...

No one is watching.

Oh!

This might help me learn more about him.

But what is that bundle wrapped in the cloth?

Whose father’s bundle could it be?

Why should I care?

All I want is to know more about him.

Let me have a quick look at it.

It may contain something useful With excitement in her heart

She picks up the letter

- Unaware of the fate written in it. - Any work is fine, But not stealing.

At first, I thought it was just some random father’s scroll

So, it wasn’t just any random scroll after all. It’s my father’s!

What belongs to a father naturally belongs to his children

Let me open it and see

what has he written?

Huh?!

Oh no!

Oh!

Oh no... my father’s handwriting looks like black crows walking across a white sheet

My father lack none, What has he written?

Respected minister Dushtabuddhi... Has assigned his son Madana with a task

To eliminate Chandrahasa

Didn't I say so?

Even the moon should blush when it sees his smile,

Chandrahasa

His face and the smile on his lips, Name is adequately syncs down

... I bow to you Lord Brahma for creating such beauty in him!

This man should not be underestimated.

The king must not doubt my loyalty.

He must be given poison to enchant him before sending him away?

To enchant him before sending him away?

He must be given V-V

Poison

Poison

He must be given poison to enchant him before sending him away

But how it can be possible.!?

After consuming poison, Can there be continuous progress?

Cremation will follow!

What's wrong with my father?

And he wrote this letter to my brother.!

If my brother Madana had received this letter first,

Poor Chandrahasa would have already been dead!

Brother wouldn't have pondered over

What should I do now?

This is disastrous!

But wait.

Now I understood.

There is just a single mistake in this letter.

Father must have written this in haste.

I must correct it. How do I change it?

Hmm-Hmm

Haa!

This won’t work, I need something finer

Ah!

I’ll use my own kohl to adjust the ink

Instead of 'Visha', I’ll change it to 'Vishaye'.

It's done.

Huh!

Without delay, observe his lineage, bravery, and virtues, And offer Vishaye to him,

Vishaye! Vishaye!

enchanting him like magic!

The work is done!

Come sooner, Chandrahasa! I’ll be waiting!

Chandrahaasa! Chandrahaasa!

My friend Chandrahasa,

Are you still asleep?

My friend, I just dozed off for a while to get some rest. .

It seems like you forgot about the whole world!

But I couldn't realize how much time had passed. - Hmm

- We set out for... - Hmm

- Kuntala Nadu! - Yes, that’s right.

- We must leave as soon as possible. - I have already scouted the path.

- Come with me. - May the blessings of the Almighty always be upon you

- Come, my friend. - Let’s go!

Everything unfolds as per the will of the Divine

And I am famous in mine.

But right now, in this city, I am only famous!

- Oh, is that so? - Yes

Anyway,

no need to say anything more.

- I’ve already figured it out! - What do you mean?

- You look somewhat similar to me. - Ha

- Seems like you crossed path with my father. - Ha ha!

- He must have said! - What?

Oh, you! You good-for-nothing! You lazy lump! You hopeless fool

''Where have you been?!'' ''Get back to your place.''

- You came here directly, isn't it? - Imbecile!

Does your father call you by all these names?

That’s how he blesses me!

- Ha ha! - Yes

Anyway, I have come here with a purpose.

There, upon the royal throne, sits the son Madanaraya.

That’s me! That’s me!

I was sent here to deliver a confidential letter to you.

- Oh? Really? - Yes, he did.

- Alright... where is it? - Right here.

Aah!!

This is the secret letter sent by your father

Very well! Very well!

Who's there?

Yes, my lord!

- Take him to the third floor - Hmm

Eighth corner

Lock him up, and station four guards with swords outside!

- Madanaraya! - Huh?

- What is the meaning of this? - What?

What mistake have I made?

You are ordering four armed guards to stand outside my room?

- Oh, no! That’s for your protection! - Oh, how thoughtful

- Of course! - Hmm.

- Third floor. - Hmm.

- Room number four-hundred and twenty. - Wait, what?

- Just go straight! - Hmm.

Take a right and look up!

I will find it at the top

- You’ll find it there! - Fine.

Huh.

To the esteemed minister of wisdom, Srimad

Ohho... Wah ,Wah, Ahhaa

At last, this year, Now my father sees me among the revered royal members.

Otherwise My father would never have written such a formal letter adorned with words of praise.

Srimad Minister of Wisdom

If he has written with such formalities.

Let’s see.

Srimad Minister of Wisdom, Dushtabuddhi

Ugh! That man!

He is boasting himself

Fine!!! Those ministers and their nonsense formalities!

CHANDANAVATHI GUEST HOUSE O noble minister, Dushtabuddhi, With great intent, has wished for an auspicious alliance

O noble minister, Dushtabuddhi, With great intent, has wished for an auspicious alliance

Blessing Madanaraya with prosperity and happiness. With no hesitation, he has made a firm decision,

For the well-being of his daughter, And now, as fate has ordained

Chandrahasa shall be our kin!

Without delay, observe his lineage, bravery, and virtues, And offer Vishaye to him,

A-ha!

This is unexpected!

It means...

My father has decided to wed my sister to this young man without delay.

What should I do?

No! I must act swiftly!

After all,

I hold the responsibility of my elder brother’s place.

I should think before I decide

Call the Brahmajnani! Call the Brahmajnani immediately!

Respected Brahmajnani!

Brahmajnani!

Brahmajnani!

Eh... Eh... Eh

G-get up, get up, get up, get up, get up!

- Brahmajnani. - What is it?

Is this some kind of game?

You called me in such urgency, so I rushed here. - Yes

But now, you are playing around!

- Not at all, Brahmajnani! - Hmm.

I was merely attempting a respectful prostration!

- A full prostration? - Yes

But it seems like you're pulling my leg instead, not a full prostration.

- Brahmajnani, do you take me for a fool? - No, no!

- Hence. - Hmm.

Huh.

As quickly as possible,

In your presence, under your authority, under your leadership, under your guidance

Huh... That’s all same.

Is it so?

- You said under my authority, right? - Yes.

Many marriages have taken place under my authority

but shouldn’t I at least know for whom?

- Ah... Ah... Even you don’t know about this matter? - Hmm.

This is not a lie... My father departed the other day.

Oh no!

He wasn’t that old compared to me!

No, no, no.

But I never imagined something like this would happen. - Hmm

- By the time I came to know, it was already too late! - Yes, indeed.

- At least I got to know after some time. - Definitely.

Let’s observe a five-second silence.

- Hmm? - Brahmajnani.

- Should I also observe silence? - Yes.

Your father passed away, right?

Don’t blabber anything, Brahmajnani. He might come back!

He never gets down.

No, it’s not that

Then what did you just said?

What did I say?

You yourself said that your father passed away!

No, Brahmajnani, that’s not what I meant!

Hmm.

- My father departed... - Hmm

..to Chandanavati!

You should've said that properly!

When you just said, "he departed,"

What else was I supposed to understand?

No, no, Brahmajnani.

He left for Chandanavati and sent a letter

Oh, really?

The matter is this

I didn’t understand a thing.

What do you mean?

- What is this? - What happened?

Are you chanting a mantra or memorizing something?

Not at all, Brahmajnani.

Then?

- The matter is simple. - How simple?

The message is to marry my sister Vishaye, to the messenger who delivered it.

What?

- Why? - So, your father sent this proposal?

Yes, yes, yes!

Your father is over 60 now.

- He’s getting a bit senile! - Hmm

- But are you completely out of your mind? - What now?

Are you seriously planning to marry off your sister to a mere messenger?

- Not at all, Brahmajnani! - Then what is it?

- That is not what I meant. - What else then?

Brahmajnani, he is not just a messenger who delivers letters from house to house.

He is Chandanavati’s king, Chandrahasa.

The ruler of that kingdom?

- Yes, The ruler. - Then this is a grand alliance!

Hmm.

Alright... but does the groom even know about the marriage?

No, my father didn’t inform him.

Then this wedding cannot happen this year.

Huh?

- What happened? - What is this!!?

If the groom doesn’t even know he is getting married... - Hmm

How can we conduct the marriage?

We'll just tell him.

Where is he?

He is on the third floor, in room 420.

- Isn’t that your father’s room? - Yes.

You let him there?

I allowed him to stay so that the guests wouldn’t feel uncomfortable

- What a noble heart you have! - Yes, right?

Alright, bring him here.

Call Chandrahasa here.

First, let’s observe him, then we will discuss.

- No problem with that - Greetings.

- Greet Brahmajnani - Greetings, Brahmajnani!

May you be blessed.

Him?! Toe of the feet

Remembering the child

To learn the identity

You seem familiar. Have we met before?

Brahmajnani!

- Groom.. Groom. - It’s him... it’s him.

Ah! This boy! This boy!

- What is that? - What happened?

Brahmajnani... he doesn’t know!

- He? - Doesn't know.

Yes, he doesn’t know about it!

Why doesn’t he know?

Because you didn't tell him!

Tell him that first. And wipe that stupid laughter off your face

Madanaraya, have you finished reading the letter?

Yes, but after reading it, this happened!

If you've read it, just tell me the response, and I’ll be on my way.

Exactly! That’s why it’s difficult for you to answer right away.

- Although. - Yes

Yes, yes!

Let me make it clear for you.

The message is about my sister Vishaye, and we've decided to marry her to you.

- But he said it was a secret letter? - Yes

And secrets must be read in private, right?

Yes, of course.

But now you’re talking about marrying your sister to me?

- Madana! - Yes?

He is not wrong.

He is thinking carefully before deciding.

What do you mean?

A minister’s daughter is not something you can just put up for sale at a marketplace!

Hmm.

- Maybe she is like this! - Oh, dear god!

He was wondering if you were sending him a defective bride!

He’s not wrong in thinking that

Just like the saying of the wise..

True, the wise have said many things, Just tell me what you are about to say?

Anumanam! ಅನುಮಾನ

Peddarogam! ದೊಡ್ಡ ರೋಗ

Give it!

It cannot be given, just as I said!

But she’s my sister, right? My sister!

- But she’s my sister, right? My sister! - Yes... yes, indeed!

So, after seeing me, there is no need to see my sister.

She, too, has her own... unique charm!

What do you mean?

Exactly what it sounds like!

Brahmajnani, I don't wat marriage. Let me leave?

Hey!

You wait, Don't make a fuss

We will resolve this properly. What is the real issue?

No issue!

Just like how two dolls made from the same mold look alike,

My sister and I also share a resemblance.

But there is a difference... in gender!

- Ah! Now I understand. - So, do you get it now?

Now that you understand, why is he doubtful?

He wants to see the bride.

- Oh, Is that so... - Indeed.

- what’s the harm in showing her? - No arguments now!

You come this way

- Please sit here. - Fine, fine

Now, I shall show you!

Call Vishaye!

Princess Vishaye, Madanaraya has summoned you to the court.

Brother, why did you call me?

- My dear sister. - Yes, brother?

Respected Brahmajnani is here!

- My salutations, Revered Brahmajnani - Bless you well

- My dear sister. - Yes, brother?

Sister!

- Brahmajnani, what's wrong? - What is this?

Nothing much, Brahmajnani,

- I just called out, “Oh dear sister!” - So lovingly, “Oh dear sister!

Yes, yes!

Now, tell her the matter.

- My dear sister. - Yes, brother?

Marriage! Marriage! Marriage! Marriage!

- Marriage? - Yes

Really?!

Brother, how is she? Is she slim? Fat?

As dark as Brahmajnani’s wife?

Or as fair as me?

How is my sister-in-law?

- My wife? How is she? - She is dark!

When did you see her?

The other day at the temple.

You were walking with her, weren’t you?

- That was not my wife! - Then who?

She was my assistant.

Brahmajnani,

why were you walking around the temple with your assistant?

It was for work!

- Oh... Sister - But tell me, how is my sister-in-law?

The marriage isn’t for me!

Then?

The marriage is for you!

- For me?! - Yes!

- I don’t want it so soon! - She says no!, Brahmajnani

Hmm... If she were ten or twenty years older, maybe

- That’s what I mean! - But then?

Father isn’t here, right?

Sister, the marriage isn’t for father!

It’s for you!

Sister!

Ah!

Why do you keep talking about father?

That's right.

The wise have spoken much about this, sister

Well, the wise say many things... Tell me what you are about to say?

Jyeshta Bhrata

Brother!

That word just won’t come out of your mouth, will it? -Meaning?

It’s not Pir Pir! It’s Pitru Samaan!

She still doesn’t even know who the groom is! She’s confused!

Alright then

sister! Come here

I’ll show you!

The groom, right?

Look there! There! There! There!

Look at that majestic beauty!

Just looking at him, two eyes are not enough!

Two eyes are not enough! Two eyes are not enough!

- Such a broad chest. - Brother!

- A strong, sturdy build! - Brother!

A royal walk!

Ahh!

He is a sight to behold!

Sister!

you must have done great deeds in your past life to marry such a man!

Brother, What happened to you?

How... How can I marry him?!

I’ll go tell father that I don’t want to get married!

- Brahmajnani. - Hmm

Why are you standing there?

I was just thinking...

I was supposed to show her the groom, right?

- The groom? - Yes.

Where?

I don't want him

Oh... The groom was right here!

I was thinking about him.

- I will show her the man. - Show her.

- Sister - Hmm

It's not him

There, there

The fish-eyed one glanced, A dream blossomed in her fish-like eyes,

In the depths of her thoughts

What is it?

- Brahmajnani. - Hmm

God is great, Brahmajnani.

He is always great. God never deceives.

- That’s not what I meant, Brahmajnani. - Then what?

"Honor was lost, but dignity remained, Brahmajnani."

What are you trying to say now?

- Strengthen your heart, Brahmajnani. - Hmm... My heart is always strong.

- My sister - Sister?

She ran away before the wedding, Brahmajnani!

Huh... Now the story is ruined!

- Meaning? - I thought you were saying something else.

What happened?

The wedding... She didn’t run away after the wedding,

- she ran before it! - Yes.

Oh... So, she ran away willingly, did she?

She just did.

She blushed deeply and ran away upon seeing the groom. Didn't she?

Ha... Ha... Ha.

- And what does that mean? - What?

Silence is the sign of acceptance.

So...

- There’s no point in delaying any further. - Right.

Should do it symbolically.

- Symbolically? - Yes.

Yes, today evening,

we will conduct a symbolic wedding.

Make all the necessary arrangements.

- Now, let’s rest. - Alright.

Huh.

Come, come, come, come, come, come, come.

- Has the countdown begun, has the noose tightened? - Your Highness! when you touch fire, it burns your hand.

I wonder how many will be consumed in the fire of your hatred. Has the mighty fish been caught?

I had expected that wretched Chandrahasa to have fallen by now. Or has it slipped away with the winds of fate?

Hmm.

- But. - Hmm.

There is still no news of Chandrahasa, who left for Kuntala.

Don't stress so much over that thought

Why are you in such a hurry?

If he somehow reads the letter.

- And then? - The secret will be exposed.

- Hmm - The noose that was meant for him.

Hmm.

will find its way around my neck instead.

- Your Highness!! - Hmm

Why are you so restless?

Just because a woman is pregnant,

can you immediately tell whether the child will be a boy or a girl?

No. You must wait for nine months.

One must wait for birth,

but there is no need to wait for death.

Well said.

- The death of Chandrahasa! - Hmm.

From the hands of Dushtabuddhi!

Hmm.

And no force, not even fate, can save him.

Guruji

That Dushtabuddhi was eagerly waiting to hear news of Chandrahasa’s death, wasn’t he?

But on the other side, Madana was busy preparing for his sister’s wedding, wasn’t he?

Someone,

bring the bride after adorning her beautifully!

- Alright, alright! - Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

- Madana! - Yes, Brahmajnani?

You have the only sister, right?

- Yes. - Then who is this?

- Oh, her? - Respected Brahmajnani.

Huh.

Do you think I am a dog to summoned like that.

I asked for the bride to be brought, and suddenly she appeared!

What is this.......like a welcome doll?

- No, no, Brahmajnani. - Then?

That is just her way of her greeting.

- Oh, is that so? - You want to know who she is, right?

Yes.

She belongs to our household.

Hmm...

She is the one who does my sister’s hairstyling.

But if you say she belongs to your household, that could mean something else too!

- Oh, is that so? - Yes.

What did I ask for?

- What? - I asked for the bride to be brought!

- Yes. - Are you the bride?

Then?

Looking at you, you seem like a mother of four children rather than a young bride!

Ah! Ha... Ha...

I asked for an unmarried bride, not someone else!

Oh, I see!

- Now, go bring the actual bride quickly! - Alright.

Everything must be arranged properly

Of course

- even if it’s a symbolic wedding - If so.

- no one should face any trouble, understood? - Yes, yes

Yes.

Now, bring the bride! Bring the bride!

Ha... bring her, bring her!

Have you completed all the bridal adornments?

Good, now rise, may this be an auspicious moment.

Come here!

- Now, there’s no time to delay. - Hmm.

The auspicious moment is approaching!

Exchange the garlands.

- Hey! - Brahmajnani

why are you looking here and there? Look at this!

What?

- Oh... what a disaster! - Alas!

Am I at a wedding, or have I landed in a carnival? I can’t even tell anymore!

- Brahmajnani? - What now?

- At first, I was jumping really well! - Hmm

But now, I just can’t do it anymore.

- That’s how it is. - Hmm.

I always say-if you jump too high the first time,

you won’t be able to jump again later.

I asked for flower garland

Flower garland?

The auspicious time is here! Be cautious!

The sacred moment is here!

Look at each other and exchange garlands.

Slowly... slowly... take your time

That's it.

Have you exchanged?

Oh my! The wedding is done!

- What is it? - But the wedding is completed, right?

No... no... the wedding is not over yet, my dear child.

- What? - There is still something left to do

What is left now?

The most important ritual has not been completed yet.

Which one?

Tali

Oh no, Brahmajnani

If we delay any further, people will start climbing over each other!

Well, aren’t you always doing that?

If everything is over and you still say Tali, Tali, what’s left to endure, Brahmajnani?

- My dear Madana! - Hmm

- Not that Tali! - Then?

Nupital chain, Karimani

- Not Karmani, Karimani! - Not Karmani

- Karimani - Yes Karimani

Where is it?

I had said that all arrangements were in your hands.

- Is that so? - Yes.

- You said you arranged everything, right? - Yes.

- And I agreed, right? - Yes.

I had gone to the well for a bath, my dear Madana,

Did I forget everything there? Did I leave everything behind?

Ah!

- It’s right here, Madana! - Right here?

- So, it wasn’t my mistake after all! - Hmm.

Now, whatever is in our hands, let’s proceed with it. -Oh!

Now, hold the sacred grains in your hands.

You, come forward.

Hold it.

Tie the nupital chain

In his dream within a dream

he sees a severed head rolling, blood spilling everywhere.

- Did the cold moonshine gone awry? - Why? Why?

Why are you leaving me?

I need the treasure! Don’t go! Don’t go!

Ah... May you both live a long, happy life

May you both live a long happy life as Brahmajnani said.

Yes, now, as the elder brother, you stand as a fatherly figure

- Brother too. - Yes, I am her elder brother.

Now, as a brother, you must perform the ritual of handing over your sister.

Hey!

- Hey! It’s not about lifting her physically, Madana! - Then?

You must give her hand in marriage.

Place her right hand over his right hand

Offer her kind words, bid her farewell and let her go with him.

- Brahmajnani. - Yes.

I will speak

- But you shouldn't interfere. - I will interrupt when necessary!

Ah... not that way!

Are you about to puke?

- No I do not. - Then?

Bhavane

Emotion? Fine, fine, fine

Huh.

Oh... oh... dear me!

Your fate is doomed!

My master is crying!

- Shut up, you soul of misfortune! - Brahmajnani

Do me a favor.

- Tell me. - Stop crying!

If you cry, she will start wailing, and it will be unbearable!

If you had a sister, you would understand, Brahmajnani.

Stop crying. You will make her cry too.

You should bless her journey with happy face, with joy, not sorrow.

You should have told me earlier.

Alright, do it.

This is right.

Good!

Tell me the truth,

I swear, you are testing my patience!

- Why, Brahmajnani? - Know that,

Your nonsense will be the end of me!

Hey Madana.

- No more laughing! - Hmm

- No more crying either! - Hmm

- Stay neutral - Is it?

- Brother-in-law! - Yes Brother-in-law!

- I am giving my sister to you. - Yes.

- Bathe her in milk if needed. - Yes.

- Bathe her in water if needed. - Yes.

Take good care of her, my brother-in-law.

Of course, brother-in-law.

- My dear sister. - Yes, brother?

I have arranged for velvet carpets across the palace, so your feet will never hurt.

- Listen, listen! - Yes.

You won't listen

I have made sure you sleep only on soft swan-feathered beds

Listen, listen!

- My dear sister. - Yes, brother?

- We played together in this very courtyard. - Hmm

But today, You are leaving us to join your husband’s home

- You marry one and go to another’s home. - O dear!

- Hey my dear Madana. - Is this her second connection!

- Not like that! - Then what?

What is it?

You don’t marry one and go to another’s home!

- Not like that, Brahmajnani. - Then what do you mean?

- My sister. - Hmms

- Did she marry one? - She did.

Won't she leave our house for another house?

- Did you see? - Huh.

That makes sense.

Need three months to grasp

for this philosopher's words.

- My dear sister. - Yes, brother?

- Consider your husband as your God and woship. - Yes, yes.

You should live considering him your everything.

Indeed. Indeed.

The sky without the moon

A pond without lotus flowers

- Aha! Aha! - Hmm.

A head without brains,

A bear without fur.

- A seedless-- - What nonsense is this?

What is that?

I mean...

- My dear sister. - Yes, brother?

So far, you lived a luxurious life

Troubles may transpire to you

You may suffer agony

if you ever face difficulties in your new home

Don’t hesitate! Sister.

Don't hesitate.

- Run back to us! Run back to us! - O dear!

Hey!

- That’s not what you say! - Then?

You should say that she must accept her husband as her world and face life with him!

- Oh, I see! - Yes.

Brother-in-law, take good care of her.

I will, brother-in-law.

The ritual is now complete.

You go there and take rest.

Go.

Even urgently You completed this symbolic wedding

- Yes, that it's a symbolic wedding - Yes

Two days later, there's should be a feast

Brahmajnanis can leave anything except meals

Delicious kinds of dishes for you and sweet treats for you. -Is that so?

I will make those arrangements

- It means today a symbolic feast awaiting - Isn't it so?

- Come let's everyone go. - Come, come.

Without hesitation, having contemplated many things, the ministerial lord

Stands prepared for the forthcoming act, while the wicked ones rage.

Great minister, I heard that you summoned me

Kulinda,

I don’t feel at ease, something is troubling me.

What happened, my lord?

Was there any issue with our hospitality?

No, no, nothing like that.

Then what is the matter?

Your son Chandrahasa left for Kuntala three days ago.

Until now, we have not received any news from there.

I wonder what has happened, whether things have gone wrong.

My lord, my son Chandrahasa I have full faith in him.

- Even I have faith, Kulinda. - Hmm

But...

I should not have entrusted this task to your son.

If I had completed the job myself,

my mind would have been at peace.

Whatever had to happen has already happened.

Now, I must reach Kuntala as soon as possible.

You could have stayed for two more days and accepted our hospitality.

Please do not insist, Kulinda.

The call of duty is urging me.

I must leave immediately.

- Anala! - Yes.

- Come, let’s go. - Hmm.

We shall take our leave.

The son remains unaware, oblivious to what fate has in store

The troubling reasons creating the swirl inside

The troubling reasons creating the swirl inside

THE PREMISES OF KUNTALA DINING HALL

Oh dear!

- Hey! Who is this reckless fool? - Oh no!

- Can’t he see where he's going? - Brahmajnani!

- Forgive me! It was a mistake. - What a misfortune! Didn’t you notice that I’m coming?

Oh no! I didn’t realize. Please forgive me. It was unintentional.

Forgive me.

Oh! My Lord, Minister!

- Yes, it is me. - Oh, I see! I didn’t recognize you earlier.

It’s alright, don’t worry about it.

I cursed without realizing it was you. Please don’t take it to heart.

No worries. But what brings you here, near my house?

Oh, yes, yes! Something special at your house?

- Special? - A feast.

A feast!

- Did you have a feast? - Yes, we did!

- Oh, so you got a treasure? - Treasure? Huh?

Treasure?

I meant, did you receive your offering?

Oh! Why ask about that?

Your son performed the rituals so well!

He gave the offerings generously, no doubt.

- And the meal was splendid! - A good meal?

- Yes, yes! - What meal?

Oh dear, a wedding feast!

- A wedding? - Yes.

- A wedding? - Wedding.

- A wedding for my son, Madan? - Hmm.

For Prince Champakamala?

A wedding, indeed.

- A wedding? - But... not your son’s wedding.

- Not my son’s wedding? - No, no.

- Then whose wedding? - Whose marriage?

- What are you saying, O noble one? - What is it, Brahmajnani?

Your daughter’s wedding!

- My daughter’s wedding? - Yes, your daughter’s wedding.

Vishaya’s wedding?!

- My daughter’s wedding?! - Yes.

- Brahmajnani, who is the groom? - Oh dear!

why are you asking? You sent him yourself. Chandrahasa!

Chandrahaasa. -Madana, gave your daughter and arranged the wedding.

- Chandrahaasa! - Marriage.

- Vishaya?! - Feast!

And a grand feast!

- The son remains unaware, oblivious to what fate has in store - Hey! Give me my sword.

- Oh! What a strange and twisted turn in the pages of life! - Hey Madana!

Madana!

Madana!

- Oh my Lord! - Hmm.

Your father-in-law is here!

I haven’t done anything wrong! Why would he come here?

- Oh no, my Lord. - Hmm.

My father-in-law!

- Again? - Your father!

- My father?! - Yes.

- Go, go, go quickly! - How can I?

Just go, go, go!

- Hey Madana! - I’m going!

- Go, go, go! - I’m going!

Go, go

Oh no, Father.

My Father! -Hey Madana! Burning with rage, the wicked one sets out,

Madana!

- Marching towards the one he once called his son - Father!

- Hey! - Father.

I once believed you were the pride of our lineage. -Father!

But you have become its disgrace!

Father!

I did not write this in the decree

- yet you went ahead and acted on your own!. - Father! Father!

What have you done?

- Father. - What is it?

What happened, Father?

You still dare to ask what happened?!

Did you follow what was written in the decree?

- Yes, Father. - What exactly did you do?

I did exactly what you had written in the decree, Father. -Silence.

Father!

Do not call me ‘Father’ again-be warned!

Then what should I call you, Father?

I am not your father, and you are no son of mine!

A disgrace like you does not deserve to live in this land!

You are letting your anger consume you, Father.

I am asking you, please, listen to me.

If a little anger makes someone jump into a well,

then even ten times that anger won't bring them back up, Father.

I did not come here to listen to your lessons!

- What happened, Father? - What happened?!

I will cut off your head-be warned!

If that will bring you peace, then do it, Father.

- But think carefully before you act. - Think about what?

Once, there was a great sage named Jamadagni.

Hmm.

Blinded by rage, he lost his wife and children-all his loved ones

Consider your actions before taking the next step, Father.

Are you trying to teach me a lesson?

No, Father.

- Did you follow the decree exactly? - Yes, Father.

Where is the decree?

I knew you would ask for it.

That is why I kept it in a secure place, Father.

- Secure? - Yes, Father.

Where is this so-called secure place?

It is safe, Father. I will show you.

I will bring it father

Father! Father!

Is that your idea of a secure place?!

Where else could be safer than that, Father?

For the one who arrived in distress, his path is now empty.

- The lotus-born has devised a different fate for this. - Listen!

Father!

Father! My hand, my hand!

- The esteemed minister and chief, Duhstabuddhi. - My father!

I am aware.

From the supreme command, the task assigned to his son Madana

It was told to me.

- It was written by me for you! - Yes, Father.

This Chandrahasa is a great danger to us

He is a great benefit to us!

- A great danger to us! - A great benefit to us!

Maha-hita, Maha-ahita! That is a Savarna Deergha Sandhi!

- Father! Father! - Hey! Listen!

Instead of looking at lineage, heritage, education, age, and valor. -Yes father

Give him poison!

Oh no, Father! It was a mistake, Father!

Instead of looking at lineage, heritage, education, age, and valor.

- Give him poison! - It was a mistake, Father!

Am I the father, or are you?

- Father, you are the one. - Did I wrote, or are you?

Father, you have written

The mistake is known to me or to you?

- Now you understand, right, Father? - I haven’t seen it.

Instead of looking at lineage, heritage, education, age, and valor

(As he is about to continue

There’s the mistake, Father. Read it properly!

Instead of looking at lineage, heritage, education, age, and valor

Give him Vi Vi...

- Vishaye! - Yes father.

Father?!

What happened, Father?

Please sit down, Father.

No one can change what is written by fate

Even Duhstabuddhi himself knew this.

However, he set out to alter the very script of destiny.

I need some solitude.

No worries, father.

No worries at all

I’ll arrange for your solitude right away, father.

Do it.

My father needs solitude.

Father... Father...

- Father. - What?

Try to recover a little.

Alright, son.

If you need anything at any time, just call me, father. I will be right here.

That’s enough, son.

- Just take some rest and recover. - Hmm... I will.

Leave.

- Father, take care, father. - If needed, I will call you.

Alright, father, alright.

- So, did Duhstabuddhi change? - Hm-hmm.

- Did he realize his mistakes? - No.

As the saying goes, "At the time of destruction, one loses all sense.

His cup of sins was about to overflow-only a single drop was left to fill it completely.

I have examined what I wrote twice.

My hands, my eyes-there is no way they have deceived me.

Someone else must have deceived me.

Destiny...

..or Chandrahaasa?

No, no!

Chandrahasa could never deceive me

So,

how could my son Madana?!

So innocent, so naive-possibly betray his own father?

No, there is no way It's my son's fault.

After all that has happened,

Should I simply sit back, doing nothing!!?

If I do nothing now, then all my efforts until now will have been in vain.

I must act...

I must act...

My mind urges me forward.

Under no circumstances should I spare Chandrahasa!

As long as Chandrahasa is alive, the throne of Kuntala will remain out of my grasp.

So, my next goal is clear,

Chandrahasa must die.

Death... death...

Now, who is Chandrahasa?

My son-in-law.

He is my daughter’s husband.

If Chandrahasa dies, my daughter will become a widow.

My daughter will become a widow.

Drat!

So be it! Let her be a widow!

Hmph!

Time heals all wounds.

She may shed tears for a few days,

but eventually, she will console herself and move on.

In this world, no one is eternal. Everyone is destined to die someday

But if I stop my mission now,

I am certain that the throne of Kuntala will slip from my grasp.

Yes!

Yes!

Chandrahasa must die!

This was Duhstabuddhi’s final attack.

That it would become the cause of his own downfall, as well as that of many others.

Dushtabuddhi, did not realize.

As Duhstabuddhi's shout echoed, Chandrahasa and his wife stood before him.

His mind was a storm of uncontrollable rage,

his heart drowning in sorrow.

At that moment,

a royal summons arrives for Madana from the King of Kuntala.

Madana, after informing his father and seeking his permission, prepares to leave.

The Maharaja has summoned me

Repeating multiple times, emphasizing its importance,

He also expresses his regret at having to leave at such a moment.

- Father. - Hmm

I must go, father

What is this?

It's in old Kannada, father.

Oh, haven’t you let go of that yet?

- I am still learning it, father. - Alright, fine. Leave now.

- I will go now, father. - Hmm

- Father? - Hmm.

- Shall I leave? - Haven’t you left yet?

I am leaving now, father.

During the wedding, since her father was absent

Vishaya left, saying she would prepare a special meal for him.

Dushthabuddhi saw this as the perfect opportunity.

My son kept saying,

"I did this, I did that,"

but I don’t understand what exactly he did.

- But tell me one thing, Chandrahasa. - What is it?

Have all the religious rituals been completed properly?

Yes, everything has been performed accordingly.

Have you visited all the temples that needed to be visited?

Yes, I have visited all the temples as instructed.

- The Mahaganapati Temple? - I visited that on the very first day.

- The Anjaneya Temple? - On the second day.

- The Durga Parameshwari Temple? - I have visited that as well.

The Smashana Kalika Temple?

That one... I haven’t visited yet.

- Ah, you haven’t been there? - No, I haven’t.

You didn’t offer prayers at the Smashana Kalika Temple?!

Oh, Divine Mother! We have been deceived!

This is a great mistake! A grave mistake, Mother!

Father-in-law

Chandrahaasam within three days of the wedding,

if the Smashana Kalika Temple is not visited

the Goddess unleashes her wrath.

A terrible drought will come! Everything will be ruined!

Everything will be doomed, Chandrahasa! Doomed!

What shall we do?! What can we do?!

- Father-in-law. - What is it?

- There is no need to worry. - Why?

As you said, within how many days should we visit the temple?

Within three days of the wedding.

Today is the third day since the wedding.

- Ah... today is the third day? - Yes.

Oh, the Divine Mother has saved us all! She has saved us!

- Chandrahasa, do one thing. - Tell me, Father-in-law.

Go immediately and offer prayers at the Smashana Kalika Temple! Go and offer prayers!

Alright, Father-in-law. I will take Vishaya along with me

No! You must go alone.

For other temples, husbands and wives may go together,

but for the Smashana Kalika Temple, only the groom must visit.

Even during my wedding, I went alone.

So you must go alone and complete the ritual.

Alright, Father-in-law.

As you say, I will go alone.

Shall I make the necessary preparations and leave at once. - Good.

- Very well then. - Now go!

Another conspiring betrayal begun

Chandrahaasa!

Chandrahaasa!

Madana, who was returning after the discussion with Kuntala's king

With excitement he headed towards the royal palace to inform something

THE WAY OF MADANA TAKES FROM KUNTALA PALACE TO HIS ROYAL COURT

Here Dushtabuddhi to execute his conspiracy

Deceiver!

This is the punishment for your mistake

Around 20 years ago,

I asked you to bring the severed head of a boy

By not killing him,

The insolent who deceived me with a chopped toe as an evidence

Ay!

Anyone who dares to stand in my way shall meet the same fate!

Be warned!

Forgive us, O Highness! We made a mistake!

A mistake?

A mistake, you say?

Do you think I should forgive you?

- Yes, master! - Fine. I shall forgive you

But...

..only if you swear to do exactly as I command!

Tell us, highness! We will do whatever you say to atone for our mistake!

Swear it! Swear it by touching my hand!

We swear, highness! We shall do as you command!

- Will you? - Yes.

Go.

- At dusk - Hmm.

There will be a lone man will arrive to the Shmashana Kali Temple.

Without looking back, without hesitation

sever his head!"

But highness, how will we recognize the man?

What if someone else arrives instead?

Hey!

Fools! It does not matter who it is! Whoever arrives-kill them without question!

- But master, what if it is someone else? - Whoever it may be

Even if it is me, cut off the head!

As the dense clouds of grievous sin gather.

The waters of despair flood in.

Who shall be sacrificed, whose life shall be taken?

THE SUBSECTION OF KUNTALA PALACE

Who will step forward as fate unfolds?

- Brother-in-law! - Brother-in -law! What a surprise!

Brother-in -law, where are you headed

My father-in-law instructed me

to visit the Kali Temple on the third day after marriage and offer prayers.

- Oh, does he not have anything else to do! - Why do you say that, brother?"

The king urgently wishes to speak with you about an important matter.

You must go to him immediately!

What is this matter about?

Something regarding political affairs.

He insists that you meet him at once.

- But Father-in-law - Hmm

- There is one problem. - What is it?

My father-in-law gave me this responsibility.

If I do not fulfill it, I would be disobeying the elders.

Besides, there is a tradition among you all

- Within three days of marriage. - Hmm

It is customary for a newlywed husband to visit the Kali Temple and offer prayers

Brother-in-law, don’t overthink this!

! Elders, especially the King, are like gods to us

When a king personally calls you, it must be for a significant reason

Worship can always be done later.

- If it's must, let's do one thing. - What?

Instead of you, I will go and offer prayers on your behalf!

- Brother-in-law. - Yes

- I don’t know why, - Yes

but I feel uneasy.

I feel that I must go to the temple myself.

Brother-in-law, do not say such things!

We have immense respect for the King.

- If he is calling you today. - Hmm

There must be a crucial reason."

- Do one thing. - What?

go meet the King at once.

Meanwhile, I will prepare everything for the temple worship.

Hmm.

- Is that alright? - Very well, Brother-in-law.

- I shall do as you say. - Alright.

Brother-in-law-in -law.

Even so, my heart is not at ease, I feel that I must go there myself.

Why are you being so stubborn, like a child?

There is nothing to worry about!

I will perform the puja in your name.

You just go meet the king and return quickly.

You leave

I will handle it, you go.

Brother-in-law!

- I will return as soon as possible. - That’s the spirit!

- Take care, Brother-in-law-in -law. - I will.

Brother-in-law, I am here. Do not worry.

Soldiers, escort him safely beyond the fortress!

Yes, my lord!

What happened next, Guruji?"

The wicked soul of the mind of the gathering

THE WAY TO KALI TEMPLE FROM KUNTALA PALACE

Has fallen into the net of its own life.

KALIKA TEMPLE

What is the true heart of Kali? In the stage of the world.

Hmm?!

This is the cruel tale of destiny, The playful life of destiny.

Mother Kalika, you should protect us

- Happiness in Kunthala - Kaalika, save me once again."

Huh?!

- Chandrahasa! - Father-in-Law.

- Chandrahasa...Is it truly you? - Yes Father-in-Law. It is I

How... how did you come here?

Were you not supposed to go to the smasaana Kālī temple?

- Father-in-Law - What is it?

- As I was on my way to the temple - Huh

Brother-in-law, Madanaraya appeared before me.

What happened then?

He told me that the Maharaja had summoned him to discuss matters of state.

And so?

I stepped aside to let him fulfill his duty.

You went to the King with much anticipation?

Yes.

Then, You defied my words?"

No, Father-in-Law.

What do you mean, again?

Brother-in-law Madanaraya, went in my place.

To the temple!

Madana!

Madana!

Madana!

Madana!

Madana! Madana!

Madana!

This life has come to understand the bond of the soul

Just like the bird in the body, does it exist inside the cage?

Kaalika mother, what is this illusion?

You wretched traitors!

What is this conspiracy of yours?

I will behead each one of you and play with your skulls like a ball!

Jai Mahakali!

- The fire of the pyre has burned, the lamp of the soul has extinguished - Madana! O dear!

Oh, my beloved son!"

Father-in-law

Princess, I have heard that the chief minister Dushtabuddhi and Chandrahasa

are rushing towards the Kalika temple in great urgency

Madana!

Hey!

Madana!

Oh, my beloved son

Madana!

My son!

The very lips that once called out to you now taste the dust of despair

It should have been you who lit my funeral pyre.

But...

fate has turned cruel, forcing me to perform your last rites instead!

I dreamt of crowning you as the ruler of Kūntala

In the end, I didn't get the fortune to see you ascend the throne with honor

I am left to lay you upon the funeral pyre.

No son.

By losing you...

..How do I continue to live as the servant of the Chandrahāsa very man who took you from me?

How can I, Duṣṭabuddhi, live as the mere shadow of his glory?

? How do I live with this torment?

Chandrahaasa.

Hey Chandrahaasa.

I tried to rewrite the destiny inscribed upon your forehead

But fate has played a cruel trick on me instead!

Mother!

Mother Jagadamba!

Why, O Divine Mother?

Why punish my son for the sins of his father?

I cherished but one priceless jewel in my life my son, Madan!

you have taken him away from me!

Chandrahaasa.

Chandrahāsa, the world needs a warrior like you

But a sinner like me... this earth can no longer bear my presence.

This earth can no longer bear my presence.

This land that has swallowed my son’s life... shall not tolerate mine either!

Your soul will find no peace until justice is served, Chandrahāsa. the Goddess to be satisfied,

the life she truly demands is not that of my son.

O Jagadamba! If it is my life that will appease your wrath

Then take it!

I will amalgamate with your feet

Oh, cruel Kaavadeva, What is the state of your seat, and the nature of your thoughts?

- The tale of life is full of death and suffering - Father!

- Swami. - Vishaye.

Father-in-Law.

In life, who knows when the end comes, when the soul departs?

Father!

Father!

Father!

Alas!

Oh, cruel Kaavadeva, oh, cruel Kaavadeva.

Father!

Brother!

Oh, cruel Kaavadeva, oh, cruel Kaavadeva.

Oh, what is this terrible fate I am witnessing?

Swami... the sword... Swami.

The cruel fire of enmity

The astonishment of Veerasimha’s gaze

Reveals his new intentions in the moment.

Swami!

Veerasimha... you?"

As a feudal lord, I desired to become a true ruler.

In the grand chessboard of politics that I played. -Don't do it.

Don't...

you were merely a piece, Chandrahāsa.

Veerasimha! -my final move is to strike at your heart, your beloved wife, Vishaye!

Veerasimha, the enmity here is between you and me.

- Vishaye! - Enough!

Enough!

Veerasimha!

Vishaye.

Swami.

Swami.

Veerasimha!

Chandrahaasa!

your reign of dominance over Aryavarta's noble heirs ends today!

I will crush your pride into dust."

Chandrahaasa!

I will watch as you burn in the fire of my vengeance

Chandrahaasa!

Your obsession with Visaye blinded you

while your secret talks of marriage with the most beautiful woman in Kūntala, Champakamala

were merely another step in your grand political conspiracy.

But tonight... I put an end to it all!

Chandrahaasa!

Tomorrow, in the royal court of Chandanavati there will be mourning

Now, this lion shall fall before the might of Vīrasimha.

The brave one of the million rays of light

The brave one of the million rays of light

In the terrible storm of the lion's rage.

The supreme valor

This astonishment, this wonder, Astonishment, astonishment.

The roaring flames of your rising hatred.

Do you think this mighty blade trembles at that roar?

Victory will create History

And the address of that history is this Chandrahasa

The fire that burns beneath the sea, The sharp fang of death's eye, A black serpent moving in the thunderstorm

The roaring lion king, Let Parashurama grab hold, When the fiery blaze of the Udupa's laugh explodes.

Veera Chandrahasa! Veera Chandrahasa! Veera Chandrahasa!

The one who is equal to a grain of sand, the wicked one who does not feel tired

Ruthlessly he swings the noose of Yama and throws everyone into the dance of death

In the battlefield, the one named Bhairava, fierce and wild. Demonstrates his valor and strength, showing no mercy.

Veera Chandrahasa! Veera Chandrahasa! Veera Chandrahasa!

Mother

Oh Kaali Maatha

Look with your own eyes at what has happened in your temple

Are you happy now?

Look carefully!

You are revered as the Universal Mother,

but what have you done?

What have you done?!

This Chandrahāsa, who should not have committed such acts, was made to do them by your will.

Mother, I lost my father-in-law, Duṣṭabuddhi. Was like father to me.

I lost my innocent brother-in-law, Madana.

And I lost my beloved wife, the one who was my very life.

Why?

Why?

Why, Mother?

You are the bloodthirsty one, aren’t you?

You crave blood, don’t you?

But it will never be enough, will it?

Never!

Here, I hold my sword.

I offer my own blood to you, Mother.

Take it!

Take it!

Accept it!

- O Mother, auspicious illusion - Mother!

Mother!

Purifying in nature

The form of Kali, adorned with white radiance

- The wave of auspiciousness. - Mother... Mother!

I do not understand why all of this has happened.

Mother, do you see?

Wherever I look, all I see is a downpour of blood.

Why, Mother? Why is it like this?

Look around.

Everyone has perished

What is the purpose of my existence now? What is the use of me living any longer?

- My child, Chandrahāsa. - Mother?

Do not grieve over what has happened

You were born in one place, brought up in another,

and today, you have surrendered to me in my temple.

You must now stand tall in this world.

It is my divine will that you become the protector of this kingdom.

Everything that has happened was necessary to strengthen you.

One day, a great calamity will come, and you must be prepared to stop it.

It is your destiny to safeguard this sacred land of Bharata.

Son

When the time is right, I will guide you.

Hold the sacred Shaligrama with a pure heart and unwavering focus,

chant the name of Hari, and meditate upon me with absolute devotion

I will restore life to all your loved ones.

! Let all beings in this world be happy

May auspiciousness prevail

I am grateful, Mother.

Mother!

Brother-in-law!

- Beloved. - Vishaye!

- Father-in-law. - Chandrahaasa.

Vishaye!

Chandrahāsa was blessed by the Divine Mother.

Those who had perished were revived by her grace.

Upon learning the truth from Chandrahāsa, they all surrendered themselves to Goddess Kalika in devotion.

- Chandrahaasa! - Father-in-law.

One who takes a life is not truly great

the one who brings the dead back to life is the greatest of all.

You are truly blessed, for you have witnessed the divine mother with your own eyes

Holding your feet is no crime.

One thing is certain,

at the very moment I 'died,' the evil within me perished too.

With the grace of the Divine Mother, I have been reborn, and along with me

wisdom has also taken birth.

Isn’t it the Divine Mother who has given us all a new life?

Hail the Mother, Jagadamba! Salutations to the Goddess!-To prevent the impending disaster that threatens the kingdom

Goddess words that "Only you have the strength"

Echoed deeply in Chandrahāsa’s heart

GARUDAKSHA THE KALINJA EMPIRE

- For the Lion King's throne, The fierce gaze of Garuda burns with the flames of hatred - If I cannot have Champakamala

The fierce gaze of Garuda burns with the flames of hatred Then no vile creature in this world shall possess her!

Hmm!

"Guruji, hasn’t Chandrahāsa’s suffering ended yet?

THE WEST FORT OF KUNTALA

Hey Subuddhi!

Even if the entire army of Kuntala stands against me,

I will still take your daughter, place her on my thigh, and carry her away!

Champakamala is now beneath my feet!

As the mighty ruler of this empire,

nothing in Kuntala has captivated me more than Champakamala.

SAMUDRA SENA THE VANGA EMPIRE

Champakamala! If she slips from my grasp,

Hey, minister! Prepare the army immediately. Behead Chandrahaasa

crush Garudaksha’s arrogance, and claim Champakamala for me.

Move out!

A restless pack of vultures, with eyes as sharp as a hawk,

stands poised, eager to seize its prey.

SAMVARANA THE EMPIRE OF MAGADHA

The wrath that once burned like the scorching sun has been concealed

all for her.

I, the undefeated one, who defeated the mighty warriors of a hundred kingdoms

Hey Garudaksha,

The flame of wrath hidden within my heart has now ignited.

Destruction is inevitable,

and I shall be the one to carve your death sentence with my own hands!

A warrior who has hoisted the flag of victory in all eight directions!

If not for her,

KARAKANDU THE KALINGA EMPIRE

then at least for the throne of Kuntala, I shall declare war.

Let the war elephants charge, let the cavalry thunder across the battlefield

Kuntala shall be mine!

Garudaksha's fate is sealed!

- Chandrahaasa! - Chandrahaasa!

Chandrahaasa!

Garudaksha, who abducted Queen Champakamala,

, killed hundreds of soldiers in his pursuit.

When Subuddhi Maharaja's commander, Shoor Sena, came to Chandrahāsa to express his sorrow

Dushthabuddhi told him that the secret of Chandrahāsa's marriage to Champakamala

had leaked and that the enemy kingdoms were preparing for war against them.

Father-in-law

I have grown up listening to my mother speak about,

how one must be willing to sacrifice their life for this land and its language.

I cannot tolerate the disgrace brought upon a woman of this sacred soil.

Like a lion roaring amidst blazing fire,

Like an enraged elephant charging at the sight of its mahout

Garudaksha-the coward who abducted Champakamalini like a thief

I will sever his head and place it at your feet like a ball.

No matter who dares to stand against this cause

I will cut through their arrogance with this very sword,

and offer their downfall as an offering to Mother Earth.

If I fail to do so, then I am not Chandrahaasa!

A mere beggar ascends the throne of Kuntala

but the wolves waiting for that throne never realized,

that they were marching toward the doorstep of death.

Brakura

If Chandrahāsa stands boldly against Garudaksha, Yearning for battle, surging forth,

then just as Hanuman had Lord Rama's protection,

who shall stand as divine protection for Chandrahāsa, Brakura? Halting the arrogance of wicked foes.

Slashing through enemy ranks

No matter what obstacles arise, do not fear!

Know that this Shivaputtaswamy will always stand by your side.

Jai Bhubhaneshwari! Veera Chandrahaasa!

Veera Chandrahaasa!

Salutations from "Team Ravi Basrur"

He wields the lightning sword, making the earth tremble.

With fierce eyes, resist the rising waves of enemies

He roars and rises, embodying the wrath of Lord Narasimha..

Veera Chandrahasa...

In the quest for woman and land

In the quest for woman and land, A storm of battle raged

The people, aware yet unyielding, driven by deeper greed.

Ignited the flames of a bloody war, Thus unfolds the valorous saga of Chandrahāsa!

Veera Chandrahasa...
