Tales of ancient history SCRIPTURES are aptly called as the puranas. the puranas are replete with the history of ancient india. the universe was created ages ago and for the good of mankind, there born a great man in every era. In Treta Era, Lord Rama appeared with the message of paramount obidience and set a example for the whole world to follow. in the Dwapar Era, Lord Krishna explained the principle of
duty through the Bhagvat Gita and Established the reign o f righteousness. But with the pa
ssage of time, in the name of religion,
unrighteousness increased, the hypocrisy of untruth, anarchy, inequality, untouchability, economics and
superstition started spreading all around. Fear led the mankind into the abyss of ignorance. To destroy this darkness, another great man was to be born. this time, that great man was called ..... Buddha.... Buddha... After the Mahabharata war, many eras had passed, the shadow
of that great war divided india into many parts. 2500 years ago, there was a un

or with the Majesty. Even at
night, I sent him. Sooner or Later Devdutt will replace the king he will be the crown prince and soon he will be the king the Kapilvastu. everytime i see Devdutt sitting on the throne with the king, i started weaving dreams. i can almost hear people screaming..... "Glory to Crown Prince Devdutt" "Glory to Crown Prince Devdutt" Stop Building castles in the air. Mahamaya or Prajapati... if either of them bears the king a child, all your dreams will come crashing down. hahahha....(Laughing) whats

Those birds represents their dreams.. and thats my net... it is impossible for them to bear children.. to make the impossible, possible, they've sent for Royal Priest Vachaspati. He'll perform on oblation so that king begets child. An oblation? if one could concieve by conducting oblation, there will be a furor. Kamuka! Yes! your Grace? Put these birds in a cage.

Here? you should be in Prajapati's chamber. Pardon me, your highness... Why did you lie to the king that you are menstruating? because i want my sister to give the heir of Kapilvastu. She longs for a child and now fate will also give in to her. I just told you abour the dream Queen Mahamaya had after the oblation. Respected Royal
Priest Vachaspati and other Priests, please interpret this dream for me. Your Majesty, it's an auspicious dream. Blooming of red lotus is a good omen.

So be it!!! one who everyone is eager to see here comes the good news. someone is arriving he will bring us a great joy. who is he? Tell us ask me ask me The crown prince of Kapilvastu. What are you doing? why are you freeing the
birds? These are not just birds, Mangala sister This is a way of expressing my joy. They have been released from captivity. and we have been released from our misfortune. i am so happy today. i can't even express it. i can see how happy you are.. as if you are pregnant, not Queen Mahamaya, you are right, mangala sister if i was expecting, i wouldn't have been so happy. Queen Mahamaya is pregnant, so i'm twice as happy. she's the one who should bear a child. But.... it's not good to express our j
oy. Even the air could be poisoned with envy. Someone may get envious and cast the eye.... whoever casts the evil eye will end up with a tarnished face. Some kohl rubbed off on your cheek. Queen Prajapati, that just a kohl on my face. i will make sure you'll weep buckets. Enough. One more. are you my mother or my sister? you pamper me so much. i'm your sister, so i must serve you. you will share just one relation with the prince. But i will share two. Two? what do you mean? I am married to the k
ing. so I will be a mother to the prince. i'm your sister, so i will be the prince's aunt too. Thats two relations Your Highness! Be Careful, Sister! Queen Mahamaya, What Happened? Devdutt was playing with marbles. She Slipped over them. Are you alright my Queen? Thank god You could've lost your child. May her enemies suffer instead. My sister will bear a child. Right. Sister? Say, so be it. Mangala sister, say "so be it". So be it.
