He praised for giving birth to such a great son.

Why are you getting angry if he praises me?

I'm not angry for praising you.

But, I'm asking you a thing in ignorance.

Tell your teacher to remember there's a mother also at home.

- Sister, a good news! - What's it.

Brother-in-law, a good news!

My wife has given birth to twins! Both are girls.

Sister, do you know they look like?

They're like music and literature.

Already my nephew is swinging my children is praise.

Oh! Please don't it, dear.

Dear...

- Hey! Pernam Bhatlu! - What's it, Subbam Bhatlu?

Annamayya is one and they are 2 girls. Is it wrong?

Hey! Fool of fools!

How many consorts does Lord Shiva have?

Ganga and Parvathi, two consorts.

How many does Lord Vishnu has?

Sridevi and Bhoodevi, two consorts.

How many wives did King Dasaratha had?

Kousalya, Sumithra and Kaikeyi, 3 wives.

That's how many wives did peacock feather had?

I'm asking you, who's that?

Flute and peacock feather denotes Lord Krishna.

- How many he had? - 8 wives.

Don't ask their names I don't know.

When he had 8 wives, what's wrong if Annamayya is going steady with 2 girls.

Nothing wrong.

Then, close all your nine openings and watch the fun.

Okay.

Dear how's the arrest with our plaits?

To extract the nectar of love from me tying around my mountain like heart.

It's like churning the sea of affection.

- Gone! - Finished!

Great poet Bhavabhuthi said there's only one emotion compassion.

But after seeing your young mesmerizing beauty.

I feel like there's only one emotion, that's lust.

You're such a learned scholar.

It's our good fortune that we too have a place in your heart.

It's not good fortune but manifestation of previous birth's good deeds.

- Great Annamayya. - Wow! Annamayya.

We are your classmates, we are your close friends.

Okay! But, what's your problem?

Sword fights and wrestling matches are taking place near the temple.

Shall we go to see it?

Dear, dear, shall we go?

If you're interested would I dare to refuse it? Come.

If there's any brave man here get into the arena.

Dear, look how bravely he's challenging everyone?

Brave? My foot! Look at that rat face.

I'll knock them out... come in.

- Dear, make him bite the dust. - Me?

Go dear, finished him off.

If you're so interested how can I dare to refuse you?

Annamayya. We are students of Vedas.

- Do we need all these war games? - It's wrong.

What's wrong in it?

Didn't Parasuram learn Vedas and then waged wars?

I'll also follow his path.

Gone.

[Indistinct chatter]

Why did Annamayya enter the arena?

Hey priest, will you combat me with a sword?

Take it.

Cut grass! Or else cut pumpkins and prepare crisps.

What's this, my lord?

We had sent him to hold a Tambura and sing devotional songs.

Why is he holding a sword?

He was born from a sword, wasn't he?

Old habits don't die so easily?

We must make him to forget one by one.

You've seen, haven't you?

One who's interested in such things will he study Vedas devotedly?

Annamayya.

I'll follow my father's words as orders.

Would you allow me to tell something?

I'm ignorant about this world. I'll tell you if you permit me.

Tell him aunty.

How did you bless him when he started going to school?

You had blessed him to become a scholar in all 64 arts.

You've recollected it perfectly.

Those 64 arts include sword fight and wrestling also, don't they?

I'm ignorant about this world.

Uncle, assume if 10 dacoits break into our house.

[Sanskrit shlok]

If you chant Veda, will they leave us without stealing anything?

By the way, what have decided?

I think learning everything is good for life.

I'm ignorant about this world.

A mother is always a mother.

Uncle, you too must show that a father too is a father.

I'll do.

As a father I don't want to praise him.

My son is not just a scholar in Veda he'll master any art easily.

A father is a father.

- Dear... - Dear.

Hey! Sweet heart.

Falling into like a line.

I like your tender love.

I'll present all my beauty to you.

Idiots! Are you saying we don't know new lessons?

Till you learn the old lesson I had taught,

You stay in the position.

- Gone! - Finished!

[Sanskrit shlok]

Greetings to teacher.

Yuck... Yuck.

Why did you bring girls into the holy school of Veda?

Stop it boys.

Don't you know that women shouldn't hear or learn Vedas?

First ask them to leave this place.

- They are not here to go out. - Then?

It seems they are eager to learn Vedas.

They've come to make a request to teach them.

- Oh! My Lord Shiva! - Guru, you're committing a sin.

Guru, you mustn't say it like calling a vessel.

You must pronounce it like this.

It's rule of sound, don't trespass the rules of sound.

Shut up wastrels!

Annamayya, will you send them out or not?

You said to get education one needs sincerity, interest and devotion.

They have all the three.

Please, teach them Vedas.

- Or else... - Or else?

Another school of Veda will be opened opposite as a competition.

Come.

- Gone! - Finished.

[Sanskrit shlok]

[Sanskrit shlok]

[Sanskrit shlok]

[Sanskrit shlok]

You've seen, haven't you? What do you say now?

What's this scene against your teacher?

- Uncle, it's not a scene, it's Vedas. - You keep quiet, dear.

Nephew, what's this teaching Vedas to women?

Isn't it a sin?

Why are you saying it as just a sin?

- It's a grave sin! - Is it so?

Then, I'll ask you a question.

Anasuya, Apala, Athreyi and Arundhathi. Who are these people?

Are they men or women?

Don't think we are so ignorant, they are women.

Vachakravi, Sulabha, Kathyayini and Gargi, they are...?

They too are women only, so what?

They were all great scholars of Vedas, weren't they?

Indeed they were, so what?

Did they become scholars of Vedas without learning it?

- This is frivolous argument. - Is it frivolous argument?

Mother, who is the principle deity of all Vedas.

How do I know I'm ignorant about this world?

I'll ask teacher and tell you.

Teacher, isn't it Goddess mother Gayathri?

Yes, it's Goddess mother Gayathri only. So what?

Asking me, so what?

Aunt, who's the principle deity to all art forms?

Who else? Goddess of learning, Saraswathi.

Yes, Saraswathi, so what?

Department of education which is headed by women.

I'm asking you why shouldn't women learn Vedas.

Teacher, how can you brush it as a frivolous argument?

Why are you silent?

Answer him.

What can he say, poor man?

Got it?

My Fiance knows to take as well as teach lessons.

- Gone! - Finished!

Shut up, idiots.

Rules will fall apart.

Unrestrained liberty will rule the roost.

Your son isn't at fault on this issue. He's very intelligent student.

Those two girls are inciting him to go against everyone.

If you remain a silent spectator to the proceedings.

Not only your son's future but our traditions will get ruined.

Our customs and traditions are on the verge of losing their identity.

You can only save it from ruination.

What do you want me to do?

I request you to change his interest from those girls.

And save our rich traditions and customs.

Stop.

Annamaya, do you believe in following a father's words as order?

- Do you or not? - I do.

If you do... hereafter those two girls... I mean your uncle's daughters.

Promise me you'll forget them and then enter the house.

- Are you waiting for him? - Yes.

Are you waiting for your Fiance who rides 2 horse driven chariot?

Yes.

He'll never come.

He's coming, isn't he?

- Fiance... - Fiance.

Dear, you both must forget me.

Why are you surprised? I'll also forget you.

- It's just an empty threat! - It's impossible for you.

Why not?

When Lord Rama can go to forest for his father's promise.

Can't I forget these two for my father's promise.

Will you really forget us for your father's promise?

How did you become so coward?

This is not cowardice. It's following a father's orders.

That's why, I've taken this decision.

Who's bothers about your decision?

You can never forget us, we'll never allow you to forget us.

When you take bath,

you'll remember us as applying soap to your back.

Not only back but your entire body.

Impossible.

When you offer prayers and take water into your palm for purification.

I'll appear in that water and wink at you.

You'll not appear.

When you're partaking food we'll appear and kiss you.

- I'll become your bed when you sleep. - I'll become your pillow.

I must honor promise given to my father, it's impossible.

Air bubbles on water will not last long.

Let peace be with you.

We'll pluck our your tuft.

- Hey! Botlu! - What's it Peranam Bottu?

- Clean your body properly. - Alright.

Brother.

Have you come to take a bath?

- Take precautions that your Fiancees. - Don't come into your thoughts.

Not only they, their great grandmother too won't come into my thoughts.

Keeping up a promise given to father.

Hey! Stop... No... No... Stop...

Enough. Stop... Stop... No.

Brother, did your fiance gave you a bath?

Have you broken the promise given to your father?

- Gone... - Finished.

They'll not come to my memory, when I offer my daily prayers.

I'll keep up the promise given to my father.

- Brother is confident. - You keep quiet idiot.

Hail Lord Kesava.

Hail Lord Narayana.

- Lord Indra fell for Ahalya. - Come.

- Sage Vishwamithra fell for Menaka. - Finished.

- Our man has fallen for his Fiancees. - Finished.

- Promise given to father... - Gone with the wind.

Shut up! Agreed, I'm not able to forgot them, it's true.

But I'll keep up the promise given to my father.

- Gone. - Finished.

- 'I'll become your bed when you sleep.' - 'I'll become your pillow.'

A father's promise.

It's like a silk skirt wearing bed.

How warm this pillow is?

If I sleep all my life on this bed and pillow.

Like this... Like this.

What happened son? You're talking in sleep.

Nothing, fiancees are coming into my memories.

Let them come what's wrong in it?

But father has warned me not to meet them.

You grandfather too laid the same condition to your father before our marriage.

But he never followed it.

But your father went against them and married me in a temple.

I'm an ignorant women. I was speaking in ignorance.

It's your wish after that.

Mother! You're not just a mother but a mother of all mothers.

I'm an ignorant woman, spoke in ignorance.

Please forgive me.

I've seen a glimpse of what a mother is.

Lakkamamba! I'm just lac and you're mother.

Hereafter no scholar or priest can stop me or my son.

[Chanting mantra]

Personification of traditional 16 arts together.

I pray to Goddesses of my first love.

[Chanting mantra]

The youthful additions of a young girl on her body.

My heart is a swing to my sweet maidens.

[Chanting mantra]

Shedding little droplets of sweat of romance.

It's like a bath in scented water for beauties.

[Chanting mantra]

For your heavy hips which got tired of moving.

I'm offering cool Sandalwood paste.

[Chanting mantra]

For my queens of Venus.

I'm offering experience as an offering.

[Chanting mantra]

For you fired lips, I'm offering betel leaves.

For my lovely beauties.

[Chanting mantra]

I'm offering bows of lovely kisses.

Fiance! Why are you walking back?

I don't want to miss seeing your beauty even for a second.

You might fall dear.

I've already fallen into love, haven't I?

Is it the way to write divine songs and changing world order?

There's no liberation without the experience of sex.

He has fallen into the line.

All I've to do is change his path.

"OM!"

You are blocking my way who are you?

I'm a teacher to chide and bring to right path those tread wrong path.

You'll get to know it in future.

Tell me about you.

What's this flower umbrella? Serving these beautiful women.

I think you've given up offering daily prayers also.

No.

In the sacrificial fire of their beauty.

In unquenching thirst of love fire.

With hymns praising different parts of their beautiful bodies.

What I'm doing every day is offering prayers, isn't it?

You are sighing for this.

In the rain of moon lights fires...

In the swings of sighs of the beauty spots.

Prayers of beauty.

Churning of lips to spill our nectar, battles of sensuous hugs.

If I tell you the other secrets of life.

You'll give up the celibacy and ascetic life.

For this beauty you've gone mad.

What will happen to you if you see much more beauty?

More beautiful than them is impossible.

Oh! I'm asking you what will you do if you find it?

I'm telling you there's no chance of even imagining.

If you do find what would you do?

If it gives me more happiness than their beauty.

It it's never ending or eternal... If it fills all my heart...

If there's a beauty which can mesmerize me.

Oh! No there won't be such a thing sir.

If there is, what would you do?

I'll enslave myself to that beauty.

Then come with me. I'll show you.

Come, I'll see it.

Sir... Sir... Look at these.

What do you feel on seeing it?

Procreation which sustains life on Earth.

I'm seeing my parents in the process of divine procreation.

Brother-in-law, it seems Annamayya fell unconscious.

Yes, I've sent a man to fetch doctor also.

Please come and check him.

He's in a coma. I'm not able to feel his pulse also.

I'm also little confused about his condition.

It's all in the hands of God.

Lord... Lord.

[Sanskrit chants]

For the past 3 days this has been going on like this only.

He neither speaks nor moves from here.

When I ask him to come for food.

He says didn't I eat food.

I'm afraid.

Brother-in-law, I think he'll change if we give him any work.

In my 50 years of life this is the best thing you've said.

Then give him work ceaselessly! He'll come back to normal.

What am I to tell him?

To cut wood or grass.

Okay.

Annamaya, go to forest, cut and bring a big bale of grass.

He went early morning, hasn't yet turned up.

I'm worried.

Don't get worried and make us also worry.

Both my daughters have gone to fetch Annamayya.

The entire village has gone with them.

Hail Lord Narayana.

Looks like all devotees are having your food.

We can understand why you've come here chanting Narayana's name.

Forget about me.

I think you're having food leaving a man who has come with you.

He's a mad man, you come and join us.

Thank you.

When we are inviting to share our food why are you chanting God's name?

Come, join us.

Chanting of God's name is food for me, you carry on children.

He's another mad man.

Hail Lord Narayana.

Devotees are saying you didn't have food or water for 5 days?

Why son?

Grandpa, I want to fast till I reach the abode of Lord Sri Hari.

If you do like that your body will become weak.

You might lose your heart and eventually life also.

The journey I'm now embarking is to serve my lord.

What if I become weak or lose my life.

What am I going to lose, grandpa?

Your words have given me great happiness.

For making me feel so happy...

You take this.

Look, I'm telling you a secret about that lord.

Hear.

Neither in heaven nor in the hearts of yogis

I'll be present where devotees sing.

These are words of Lord Vishnu himself as told to Sage Narada.

Narada, I'll neither be in Vaikuntam nor in the hearts of yogis.

I'll be present where my devotees sing about me.

He's loves songs.

Son, you must put life into those songs.

You must pave paths to salvation with your songs.

May you be blessed with the mercy of Lord Srinivasa.

Hail Govinda.

[Sanskrit shlok]

My beautiful wives, offerings!

They are as fragrant as your bodies.

You have those offerings, I'll have your beauty.

My lord if you offer it with your hands.

We've decided to have it.

Your wish, my luck.

Hot Pongal! Eat.

My lord, pepper! It's hot.

Yes... yes! You're too gentle charming women, you can't eat.

- Coquettish women! Have 'Vadas'. - Oh! My God! Our jaws!

You must have to eat. I don't want any excuse.

Oh! Laddu!

It's true that there's nothing equal to this on Earth.

My beautiful women!

You both come into my mind wherever I see this.

Your kisses are laddus.

Your lips are laddu.

Your cheeks are laddus.

- Your... - Stop it.

Please, have it dear.

Touching it with your lips the taste of it has enhanced manifolds.

- Come on, my lord. - lf you've any doubt, eat it.

Lord... Lord... Lord of seven hills!

Lord...

My lord, look at that 'Mount of knees' once.

I don't want to see anything other than you both in these moments of happiness.

My lord, a son is struggling there with hunger and thirst.

Let him struggle! You enjoy this laddu.

Do you feel like that?

I think you've because stone hearted ever since you appeared in a stone.

Padmavathi!

A father can never see a child's hunger.

Yes, he can never see he can only feel it with his heart.

That's why, to satiate a child's hunger.

I made the Goddess mother to go herself.

What are you looking at, son? Get up, son.

Why did fall down, son? Are you hungry?

Hunger.

I'm hungry to have a glimpse of Goddess Padmavathi's husband.

How much distance do I've to travel to reach my lord's abode, mother?

You're still near the mount of knees.

And already dead tired in hunger.

If you eat something you'll get energy and journey further.

Take this and eat.

No mother.

I've taken a vow to fast till I reach the sanctorum of my lord.

I don't know what sin I had committed in following my vow.

Everyone who had come with me could make it to him.

I fell here.

Everything is blacking out before my eyes.

I'm feeling giddy.

Mother, I'm afraid I may not see my lord in this life.

Mother, at least you bless me so that I may see my lord.

Son, you'll definitely see my lord.

The only mistake you had committed in fulfilling your vow is

you've come with slippers to this holy mountains.

Remove your slippers.

You'll feel the omni present lord in every atom on this Tirumala hills.

Look, how beautifully this Tirumala is radiating it's beauty.

The water here doesn't flow whizzing, they flow chanting Lord Hari's name.

Every tree on this holy hill is another form of great sages.

All holy ponds and holy places are present on these holy hills.

This mountain is an abode to peace.

- Hey! Gone. - Hey! Finished.

- What do woman generally write (apply)? - They generally apply turmeric.

But what are they writing on leaves?

That's what I'm also unable to understand.

The year 'Bhavanama' has also arrived.

But still there's no sign of our fiance.

I am not writing this 'Subhadra Kalyanam' epic as a vow for his return?

This is nearing completion.

As soon as it's completed our fiance will come back.

As soon as he comes after hearing this...

First Poetess of Telugu language. What a great poem you've written.

Come on. Make a wish. Ask anything, he'll say so!

I'll ask him not to leave these mad girls ever again.

He'll say, yes!

And then... then... he'll never leave us and go away.

That's all, isn't it?

- Hey, Gone. - Hey, what's it finished?

Poor girls, how eagerly they are awaiting for their Fiance's come back.

We've blabbered non-sense by mistaking them.

Sister-in-law, have this...

Will Annamayya come only if they starve and sit looking at the main door?

Why not? He'll definitely come.

He'll come. But these people should be alive to see that day, shouldn't they?

Yes, they should.

If they've to, then they must have this medicinal drink.

Have it.

Aunty, Uncle, Fiance has come.

- Has he come? - Where's he?

He came into our dream last night.

How is he? Is he keeping good health?

- Is he having food at proper time? - Yes... yes...

But why hasn't he come into your dream?

We too asked him the same question.

My parents, if they take medicines and sleep peacefully,

Only then I can come into their dreams, so he said.

Did he say like that? Give me the medicine.

Brother-in-law, give me the medicine.

We've taken the medicine. We'll sleep soundly tonight.

If we sleep. He'll definitely come into our dreams, won't he?

He'll come.

Dear, come, let's go and sleep.

Come...

Last night Annamayya didn't appear in my dream.

I had been observing you all night.

You should sleep to get dreams.

Then, did he appear in your dreams?

No! He'll appear in dream only if I sleep, won't he?

- You too didn't see him. - No.

- He didn't appear in your dream too? - No.

Where are you son? Oh God...

Please be quiet.

Oh! mother oh! Father.

You're worried about your missing son, aren't you?

My husband knows about everything. Ask about your son's whereabouts.

Where is my son, fruit of my penance sir?

He's not fruit of your penance, he's a divine singer.

Mother, what great psalms he writes now.

Hail Lord Narayana!

A Lord hailed by Sage Narada.

His songs are cooler than the moonlight.

His words are sweeter than the voice of Goddess Padmavathi.

This hymn is a culmination of all hymns together.

This hymn of Lord Venkateshwara was fed to me since birth.

My husband likes his songs more than our songs.

Yes, isn't there the Holy 'Om' sacred syllable.

His songs are more mystical than that.

Sir, but still you haven't told us the whereabouts of my son.

Your son is not on 1 or 2 hills he's on 7 hills.

Go and find him, bring him back with you.

Hail Lord Govinda, savior in times of difficulties.

Annamayya.

- In such a large place... - In such a crowded place...

Don't know where can we find Annamayya?

I'm also not able to understand that only.

All women please go there and take rest.

Go.

- Go... Go... go... - You two go that side and search.

As you say.

Brother-in-law, we'll go and inquire this side, come.

Today is Friday, isn't it?

Annamayya would be personally consecrating God.

If you refuse to come home and refuse to get married.

How are we to live my son?

Why don't say something son?

What about their plight who love you since their childhood?

Mother, my life is dedicated to the service of my lord.

Don't try to entangle me in any kind of relationships.

Oh! I've been watching you all the while you were discussing.

Look son, in the past I too had refused marriage.

One day I saw this girl, when an elephant was chasing her.

I fell in love with her.

I left my bachelorhood to Lord Anjaneya and married her.

Why don't you tell him about marrying me prior to that?

I'll tell him about that also.

Son, I'm telling you from my own experience.

Life without enjoying 'those' moments of bliss,

And colorless things are listless and lifeless.

Advise him like that I'll take birth as your child.

Did you see? How much a mother is getting worried?

Do you know anything about a mother's heart?

What a mother's heart is, I, a motherless knows it better.

There's no God greater than a mother.

Don't ponder over it anymore agree for the marriage.

- But, family life in a journey on sea... - Who told you that?

Which God has advised you to take to "Sanyasa" without marrying.

- The God you pray has two wives. - Yes, both of us.

Be happy like us.

Try to understand why I'm telling you. Accept to marry.

- Alright as you wish. - Let you be blessed.

Son.

Sir, don't know what great power your words have.

- My son has agreed to marry. - He might refuse again.

So you come with us to our village and conduct his marriage.

Blessing him... I request you to accept our honor.

Me!

Okay! As you wish.

- Take that one. - Take it.

- Take betel nuts. - Take it.

- Take betel leaves. - Take it.

Oh Lord Govinda!

Did you call me?

Why would we call you?

When elders are discussing amongst themselves?

Stop eavesdrop, conduct the marriage.

No, I felt you had called me.

Why do feel like that?

Conduct the marriage and take your fee.

- Looks like I've broken my teeth... - So be it.

I've understood your dilemma.

Marry them separately but look after them as one.

- Gone! - Finished!

Lord! What's this absurd behavior?

This is neither absurd nor strange.

For Sabari's devotion I accepted the tasted fruits she had offered me.

For mother Yashoda's love I accepted to take her beatings also.

This great Veggeyakar has won over me with his melodious music.

I'll get enchanted, I'll carry his palanquin.

What else can we do to him?

[Sanskrit shlok]

[Sanskrit shlok]

Why are you looking at us like that?

Once you said you both are one together.

Do you remember it?

We said it then, we say it now and we'll say it future too.

No, that was a lie.

Dear.

You both together are not one.

We three together are one.

Do you say, no?

Not for God but for our commander's second wife.

Look, she's coming.

Get into the pond my sweet little thing.

Water will be very cold.

If we get in together it'll start boiling, my sweet sugar.

What's this injustice?

Why should we wait till your wife takes a bath?

Why should you wait?

Come, I'll give you a bath. Hey! Throw her into the pond.

Leave my hand.

Commander.

You? When did you come to my hill?

What are you looking at? This is my hill only.

If you want carry on singing your useless songs.

Circumambulate the temple prostrating on ground.

And eat God's offering, restrict yourself to that routine only.

Don't interfere in my matters, you'll lose your head.

If you don't stop these injustices.

I'll not lose my head but you.

These devotees will do it.

What could these devotees do? Come on ask them to do it.

Oh God! Why are you beating me? Leave me.

Come on, let's go away from here.

Oh God!

Annamaya, I'll go to Penugonda today itself.

And get you punished after complaining to the King.

Oh! As the King, great warrior, savior, art lover,

l've been praised by so many tributary princes.

I've become an unchallenged King.

An Emperor.

But still there's a little thing that's disturbing in my heart.

- An unhappy King! - Yes, minister.

I've heard that young virgin girls are worried about my marriage.

How am I to get rid of it?

Kind, it isn't a great thing.

We've portraits of princesses from different places.

King, this beauty is daughter of King of Kongara.

Her name is Bhrungi.

Bhrungi?

She'll pinch at sight.

If you touch her she'll take you away.

Stop your boasting, lift the screen and show her.

An eye catching beauty.

King, are your eyes startled?

My eyes are not startled, my heart is shivering in fear.

Looking at that girl's squint eyes.

Squint eyes are lucky mascots, King. Shall I talk to them?

Yes, we'll.

Minister, take this priest and for bringing in such a great proposal.

Tie him tuft to a large elephant's tail.

Pull, till it comes off.

King forgive me spare me.

Next.

Daughter of King of Konkani, her name is Kroni.

Kroni?

Her name is strange?

Look at her portrait, it will be much more strange.

What's this her nose is like a hook?

Your pride which is not getting hooked to anything,

This nose will hook it up.

Silly talk.

- Minister! - Yes King.

Fry this man on a pan.

- As you order, King. - King... King.

Oh no.

What a great a beauty.

I must shower a rain of kisses on the cheeks of this beauty.

I'm a King of good and a bad dream for bad.

Union of our souls is a feeling of ecstasy.

This lover is shedding beauty sensuously.

And take over the evening to the heights of sensual bliss.

Entire Penugonda has come under your moonlight.

I'm a King of good and a bad dream for bad.

It's an uninterrupted work which I'll never ever postpone it.

Let me tell you what is it.

I'm a King of good and a bad dream for bad.

Union of our souls is a feeling of ecstasy.

Oh! Beautiful moon like maiden.

Fight one to one in a combat of kisses.

Oh! Dear, father of cupid.

We must come to a compromise at an earliest.

I'm a man who tastes differently for different seasons.

Why are you prolonging the argument?

For the youthful age and the Palanquin which comes for my marriage...

I'm a King of good and a bad dream for bad.

Union of our souls is a feeling of ecstasy.

Union of our souls is a feeling of ecstasy.

King, a great injustice has happened?

Commander, you wastrel don't you know you must to blow before a King.

Don't I know it King, a man broke my hand making it useless?

Who's that man?

- A man called Annamachaya. - A great devotee.

A great revolutionary, he has come to the hills.

- After coming? - King he's singing those mad songs.

- Singing... - Our mad crowd is following him madly.

He has said no need to send the money from donation box to Royal treasury.

King I think he'll usurp the administration of temple.

Then, what the hell were you doing there.

I had asked him authoritatively, what's all this?

- On being asked like that he broke my bones. - Second time.

I've come running to you to lodge a complaint.

I told you to show power of authority and you've shown your muscle power.

You're shameless. I don't have time.

Today, I'm going to another kingdom for a bridegroom selection ceremony.

I'll show my muscle power there after marrying that beauty.

I'll come to Tirumala hills and take that revolutionary to the task.

Princes, I welcome you all for my daughter's groom selection ceremony.

Stop.

How are you are to conduct this function without my arrival?

For this crime.

I'm forgiving you.

Because, my sweet heart's

eyes are requesting

from behind the screen.

By the way who are these useless idiots.

They are also princes to attend this ceremony.

- Not any fools. - No! we are Podugu country, Godugu Kings.

- Which country? - Podugu country.

- Podugu. - Country.

It's not a tradition to turn this event into a war zone.

If you've talent win the test and marry my daughter.

- What is that test? - 3 questions.

Questions... Cheaply.

King, for a test you must ask to lift a bow and tie the string.

Or grind a mountain into dust.

Or hit a fish's eye with an arrow.

You mustn't ask riddles and puzzles.

Are you such a great marksman? Let me see it.

Stop laughing and tell me.

- Who's there? - King.

Bring bow and arrow to the court.

Keep the fruit on your head.

Without even a scratch to that man, you must cut that fruit.

One who does it will marry my daughter.

Prince, why are you all silent?

And you boasted too much why are you silent?

I'll not... I can't.

Stop it, King.

For friendship or fight we must select equals.

- So... - So...

What's this?

An almond, why are you asking me?

Why did you keep it on my head?

- I'll cut it into 2. - No.

- If you take off the nut I'll aim at your head. - No.

My heart throb, if you come here for a second.

- I'll show you a magic. - Magic! I'm ready.

Intoxicating beauty.

Stop your descriptions I'm getting wet, do it fast man.

Hey! What's this you're aiming backwards?

It's my expertise to hit the bull's eye backwards.

Oh! Father-in-law, has the almond broken into 2?

It has broken into 2 son-in-law.

Great son-in-law, you're a great marksman.

Dear, garland him.

I'll be very happy.

Is it?

Okay! I too liked his song. I too love music.

Moreover this is your first wish after our first might.

I can't refuse, I'll not show my muscle power.

I'll play politics.

I wish to have him sing about our romance also.

It's quite simple.

I'll ask Annamayya to come and sing here.

Oh my lord.

You are making a wish which you shouldn't.

Singing about humans after singing about supreme soul.

It's a grave sin.

It's a sin to sing about humans but I'm a King.

- Sing... No problem. - Forgive me.

My wife has made a request. I've promised her.

It's your duty to honor it.

- Sing. - I refuse.

- I'm making a request as the King. - I'm rejecting.

I'm ordering you.

I'm opposing it.

If you're adamant I'll see your end. You don't know about me.

I can make a flute play sound of a thunder.

I can make a cuckoo to cry like a crow.

I can fry things in a wet cloth.

But you can't make me utter a word anything other than Lord Hari.

Don't make rash statements.

Will you shut up and sing, opening your mouth or not.

You're silent for all tortures.

What did my King ask you?

Did he ask you to lift huge boulders? He asked you to sing on him.

You did that great thing you did this great thing.

Can't you just sing out few lines like this?

Can't you sing it?

If you sing you'll live, if you don't sing you'll die.

Why are you smiling at me, man? I'm getting irritated.

Hey! Lash him.

Sing man.

You're destined to die an orphan's death. Why are you adamant?

- Don't I've anyone? - Who's there?

Sir, please pardon me.

Aha! What's this divine intervention?

Did I torture a great devotee of God in ignorance?

Oh my fate.

Guru, I had behaved inhumanly with you.

In the pride of being a King, I'm committed innumerable crimes.

One who sang it praise of the immortal.

I had asked you to praise a mortal like me.

One who has arrested the lord in his heart.

I had dared to arrest him.

You had proved that if we call him sincerely.

Even in this modern era lord will come to us.

I had abused and lashed such a great soul.

There's no atonement for my sins.

No atonement.

Don't pardon me sir...

Cut me into pieces, cut... cut me.

Salva, you're just a medium, you've done nothing.

Falling into trap of worldly pleasure.

With a little stomach spending life in the service of lord.

May be lord has used you to open my eyes to reality.

Let bygones be bygones.

At least now, allow me to reach the sanctorum of my lord.

Guru, I'll relinquish this throne and come with you.

I'll become your disciple and spend my life in your service.

Don't refuse, Guru.

The duty of a leader is to rule the land in public interest.

Doing your duty and spread the message Lord Hari's songs.

Be content with it.

Those crows are crying 'caw'. Do you know the meaning of it?

Riches, wealth, jewels, palaces are not (caw) permanent.

Cawu (No)... Cawu (No).

He has dedicated his life to the service of Lord.

We had brought him here and got him into this rut of worldly pleasures.

To get him out of this rut and become a Veggeyakara again.

What should we do?

We've to distance ourselves from few things, we've to give up few things.

Today its our birthday.

Lord, why do you test so harshly your devotees?

Test of fire will only add glitter to the gold.

Only then souls will free themselves from passions and produce gems of philosophy.

Annamacharya who wrote great poetry on romance and philosophy.

Hereafter will reach peaks of dispassion.

King, I've been punished for false complaint to you.

Losing his wives.

When I see that saint leaving our palace to visit holy places.

I couldn't control myself from grief.

I pray to all Gods to give him peace.

And present him with strength to sing in praise of lord.

What nonsense he's singing? He says all are equal.

And allowing untouchables into the temple, he has defiled it.

He has taken a vow to break traditions.

He's throwing our customs and rituals into wind.

It seems he has asked the philosophy of Manu to be rewritten.

Why is he so proud?

People's support.

These mad crowds are losing their sense for his songs.

- Oh no they are not songs... - They are intoxicating agents.

A mesmerizing hymns.

If we burn all these hymns in fire?

- No ifs we must burn it. - That's all.

Fire God!

You burnt life serving medicinal herbs while burning Kandava forest.

Today you're burning a treatise on Veda chant of Sri Hari.

Burn me along with those divine hymns.

Satisfy your hunger.

Guru... Guru.

Salva, it's promise on me if you try to stop me.

[Indistinct chatter]

Guru.

To avoid such things in future let me write it on bronze plates.

Present me an opportunity to preserve it for posterity.

Let your wish be fulfilled.

With active support from Salva.

The medley of songs which went on without any break.

Saving it, singing and enjoying it were,

Annamayya's elder son Peda Thirumalayya.

And grandsons China Thirumalaya and Chinnanna.

Annamayya's descendents have decided to dedicate his works to people.

Salva, with your great determination.

You've given these songs a life to eternity.

You've achieved great fame and made me also favor.

I'm very happy to have repaid your debt in my own small way.

I'm happy.

Sing any song from it.

Life is a drama.

Salvation is achieved without seeing it.

Life is a drama.

Drama.

Birth is truth. Death is truth.

Between these two it's all a drama.

The world is in front of us.

The last thing is Salvation.

The string is broken, the play has come to an end.

Guru.

Salva, you're a true disciple.

You've made me remember about salvation at right time.

My age and strength has slipped away from this 9 hole winnowing basket.

I'm a great sinner.

Why did I recite this song? Why did I?

No, you mustn't leave us.

Where am I going, Salva?

To my lords feet only, isn't it?

The purpose for which he sent me to earth is over.

I must handover this property at my Lord Srinivasa's feet.

I seek refuge at Lord Narayana's feet.

My Lord your showing up is not a dream, isn't it?

It isn't a imagination is it? A savior of devotees.

A benevolent hand which will blesses us with everything.

A benevolent hand that showers mercy.

Did you hug me, my lord?

The chest which belongs to my mothers. Did you hug me close to your heart?

Did you pay me back with a windfall for these songs?

My life has achieved it's purpose, I've become a blessed one.

Lord your wealth all 32,000 songs are yours.

Save this humble present in your heart.

Save it my lord it's a prayer offered to your lotus feet.

These are flowers offered at your feet.

Save it... Save it.

I'll save it.

What's this? You are handing over all accounts so early.

What's so early my lord?

I was born 95 years ago, my lord.

Against rules I'll bring back the past. I'll present you a long life.

I'll present you with eternal youth like us.

Great puppeteer!

I know your snake and ladder game of salvation.

You make us climb the ladder of wishes.

And get then swallowed by snakes of desires.

I'm not new to your plays.

Lord you're testing me if I still have desire on this body or not.

No, this is not a test.

- Then, what else it is? - The love I've on your songs.

You've a poet Emperor who ruled over our hearts with your songs.

How am I to tell you, how much I love your songs.

Once in my lonely service.

Sleep my Achyuthananda sleep my Mukunda.

Sleep... Sleep.

When you sang this lullaby.

I enjoyed and got relieved like a child in a mother's lap.

- Lord, my song from your mouth... - Not just one song.

Another day your song a great song praising my consorts.

That song...

Padma. Padma.

What was that song?

To the consorts of lord I offer wave of camphor.

How am I to repay you for this great song?

You're not believing me aren't you?

Bhoodevi, Padma, tell him, you tell him.

- How much I love his songs? - Yes Annamayya.

For your songs he came down as Yathi to change your path.

For your songs he came as priest and conducted your marriage.

The shoulders on which he carries this world, he carried your Palanquin.

My lord.

If you go away. Who'll play and sing for us?

Have my songs moved you much along with this world?

Has it affected you so much to remember and sing it for me?

Enough, my lord.

I'm not able to bear this happiness.

Mother tell him to give me salvation

before this happiness dissipates.

They'll never listen, these devotees will never listen to us.

We must always listen to them only.

But before that I want to hear a song from you.

Yes, my lord.

Sing a song, Annamayya.

Mother, how merciful you are.

What else can I wish for this life?

You appearance, praising me and ordering me to sing.

Is there anything else more greater than this?

I'll sing mother, I'll definitely sing.

Omnipresent! I'm tired and weak.

I've come seeking refuge in you.

This life's line will not end without breaking it.
