Ganesh, it is indeed strange.
Even after such a journey
you did not ask for a meal.
What is the matter?
You seem lost in thought.
It is not so, Mother.
I simply await my meal.
Mother-in-law, please allow
Valli and me
to prepare a meal
for Ganesh.
Yes, Mother-in-law. And then
we shall feed him.
Then so be it.
Hail Lord Brahma.
Hail Lord Brahma.
Hail Lord Brahma.
Hail Lord Brahma.
I do want to enjoy a great meal
but this voice is constantly
troubling me.
My Lord seems distracted.
Brother-in-law, do not be
hesitant. Enjoy your meal.
Here, have some more.
Brother-in-law, I have made
'Modak' that you cherish, here.
Here, please have some.
Please have these sweets
as well.
Mother, as you see,
all are caring for Ganesh.
It seems everyone has
forgotten me.
My Lord, you have
forgotten us both!
Brother-in-law had reminded you
of us.
Thus he deserves
more affection..
Hail Lord Brahma.
Hail Lord Brahma.
Hail Lord Brahma.
Hail Lord Brahma.
Hail Lord Brahma.
Hail Lord Brahma.
It was such a joy.
Brother-in-law, I hope
you enjoyed your meal.
Sister-in-law, the meal was
truly delicious
But..
- What could it be?
Please tell us, Brother-in-law.
But, Sisters-in-law..
I am startled
that as you both fed me
I felt the same joy
just as I do when mother
feeds me.
Mother-in-law, we will be
right back.
For the first time
your sisters-in-law prepared
a meal with such affection
and fed you with
such great love.
So will you..
- I understand, Mother.
I must bring them a worthy gift
as I welcome them to Kailash.
You must rest assured.
I am prepared for that.
I will be back soon.
Come, Mooshak. We must arrange
for a gift for them.
Here in these moments of bliss,
I still feel at unease.
What is the matter, my Lord?
Is something troubling you?
It is nothing, Mooshak.
Let us go to the orchard.
Yes, my Lord.
Here, my Lord!
The Lord seems lost.
My Lord has not said it yet
but there is something wrong.
Something unsettling that
has troubled him.
He is lost in thought as he is
gazing in that direction.
Let me see what lies over there.
Hail Lord Brahma!
Hail Lord Brahma!
Hail Lord Brahma!
Hail Lord Brahma!
Hail Lord Brahma!
It is done. We have completed
the task at hand.
Splendid, my Lord.
Your sisters-in-law will be
pleased by this gift of yours.
Then so be it.
Let us bring them here.
Hail Lord Brahma!
What is the matter, my Lord?
You have been worried.
I do not know, Mooshak.
Since long someone has been
meditating for Lord Bramha.
And I sense an ominous
entity.
And now the meditation
reaches its completion
I sense that she is going to ask
for something so terrible
that shall put the world
in grave danger.
But who is she?
Whom do you speak of?
It is her!
Rise, Karkati. I hold
your meditation fulfilled.
It is Karkati!
Hail Lord Brahma!
Speak forth, what do you
wish for, Karkati?
'I have been starving
for eons!'
'And I wish to satiate
my hunger!'
'And thus I underwent
such harsh meditation!'
'But how can I satisfy
this endless hunger of mine?'
'What should I ask for?
To be greater than Himalaya?'
'So I can devour an entire
flock of birds'
'within my gaping jaws!'
'No! that would not be enough!'
'So should I ask to be as huge
as the earth itself?'
'So I can devour continents
at once?'
'But would that be wise?'
'No, this small world cannot
satisfy my hunger.'
'I need more! I need
all planets!'
'So should I ask to become
a celestial being'
'and hence I could devour
entire planets at once?'
'No, my hunger would grow
as my form grows!'
'This would not be enough!'
'So I need something else!'
My Lord, what is she thinking
for all this long?
Why does she not ask
for a boon?
It is wise to think before
making a decision
but over thinking can distract
anyone.
If one keeps thinking
excessively
then the outcome something
extremely beneficial or horrid.
It remains to be seen what
becomes of her!
Nothing is impossible
after meditation for eons!
And you will certainly get
what you seek.
Karkati, ask what you
truly desire.
'I need something that
satisfies me for eternity.'
'Where food is in abundance
and my hunger stands puny.'
'Even a little would be great
for a mere ant!'
'So I must ask Lord Bramha
to turn me miniscule.'
Yes! It seems wise!
If you now know what you seek
then ask forth
what you desire.
My Lord, grant me the ability
to take a miniscule form!
A miniscule form?
Such a dullard!
My Lord, you need not
be worried.
Even after thinking so long,
this is all this fool could ask!
No, Mooshak. She is no fool!
By asking for an ability
to become miniscule
she has in a way asked
to be the greatest.
Karkati, you seek an ability
to become miniscule at will?
But why is that?
In a titan form, even if I eat
countless flocks of birds
my hunger craves and lingers
but even a fragment would
suffice if I am miniscule!
Even a little food is enough
for a small life form.
But when such a being
is tainted by greed
then nothing could satisfy
such a devourer.
And it eats not for nourishment
but for pleasure.
Such a being would not hesitate
to harm others!
My Lord, due to this colossal
form of mine
the beings of this world
do not have enough food!
Be it beasts or humans
they all get crushed
under my feet.
If an enemy is visible
and strikes from the front
then it can be tackled
but what if an enemy becomes
invisible and miniscule
and begins ambushing?
My Lord, I am given
a miniscule form
then I will bring no harm
to others.
It will be utter ruin!
One who can march undetected
is even deadly than
a mighty army!
One cannot fight
or grab such a foe!
And nor can one evade
such a foe!
My Lord, Lord Brahma
must not give her such a power.
Rest assured. I do not
seek immortality.
Just turn me miniscule,
my Lord!
Grant me the ability
that I can take a form
that is a thousand times smaller
than the tip of a needle.
And be it by water, wind
touch or any other medium..
And by the air one breathes,
I can enter any being
and devour their hearts,
lungs and organs
as my food, great Lord!
Then so be it!
I grant you an ability
that once I leave
you shall become a miniscule
being named Suchika.
And thus you earn
a name
that is 'Visuchika!'
Thank you, Lord!
Visuchika!
Lord Brahma!
I have tricked you
by my words!
And no one can evade me!
I am Visuchika!
Now I shall have
an abundance of food
not just for me
but also for my countless
children!
What I feared has
come to pass!
And now she might
unfold a crisis
to satiate her hunger!
I direly wish..
- What is it, Brother-in-law?
Sisters-in-law! You are
both here!
Yes, Mother-in-law said that you
had arranged a gift for us
So we could not stop
and we came looking for you.
So you have hidden the gift
from us.
Yes. No! I mean yes.
Do not make us wait
and show us our gift.
Then so be it.
Here it is. I hope that
you would like it.
Please be seated
on the swing.
It will bring you joy.
So tell me, are you pleased
with this gift of mine?
The way you have decorated it
with such great flowers..
I loved it so much.
So I will decorate the swing
every day with flowers.
Kailash has numerous
flowers.
All the flowers have wilted
in Kailash?
What is this? It seems
as if nature has withered!
Who is it? I heard
a wailing voice.
Why does the earth seem
in great pain?
I know whose voice
it is.
Mother Bhumi, elemental deity
of the planet!
What is it, Mother Bhumi?
What troubles you?
Tell me, Mother?
What has caused
this great trouble?
Visuchika!
She is misusing the blessing
of Lord Brahma!
To satisfy her hunger,
she meditated for eons.
And she has lost
all control!
After attaining a miniscule form
she has created countless
clones of herself.
Such a small form!
None can see me
and none can harm me!
I will claim the world!
I have so much food!
I crave for more!
'Oh! This man still lives!'
'So I will come discreetly!'
'I shall enter his body!'
'And drain his life force!'
My Lord, it is not just
marketplaces and gatherings
but she has reached
every place were humans dwell.
Mother! Mother!
What happened to you?
Mother! Mother!
Open your eyes!
Please help my mother!
Please help me!
Help my mother!
What happened to you?
Open your eyes!
Mother!
My Lord, if she keeps spreading
her reach unchecked
then without any war
without any celestial weapon
or without any great calamity
the entire world
will be destroyed!
Lord Ganesh!
Save us!
O' son of Parvati!
Remover of obstacles!
Please save the world
from this threat!
Help us, my Lord!
Counter this threat
and save us all!
Where a threat is born
so there is born an answer
to tackle the threat.
And what happens today
is driven by a great reason.
An event that has been
awaited for long!
Mother Bhumi, to end
this crisis
a great medicinal herb
shall be born on this planet
that shall be the mark
of health!
And one will get strength
by worshipping the plant.
One that shall bring strength
to the body.
To keep one free
of illness.
Its presence in every house
will bring purity.
by then Visuchika would have
devoured the planet!
She cannot harm any being!
Not on my watch!
My Lord!
You will soon die!
Please stop, Lord Ganesh!
Greetings, Lord!
You cannot kill her,
Lord Ganesh!
By letting her greed grow
and hunger rage
she has misused
your blessing!
She has brought great suffering
to all humankind!
She will ruin the world!
And hence she must
be punished!
And there is but one
punishment for her! Death!
She does deserve punishment,
Lord Ganesh.
But she cannot be killed!
Why is that Lord Brahma?
Why can she not be killed?
Since Visuchika is a power
of Lord Narayan.
Lord Narayan commands a power
that is Yogmaya.
And his other powers serve
under Yogmaya.
Karkati is one such power.
And that is Visuchika!
Then be it good or bad..
And by the will of Lord Narayan
as long as this world exists
so will Visuchika.
'One's greed can never
be satisfied.'
'And the same greed leads
one to ruin!'
