Ikshvakus

Vishnukundinas

And after the Chalukyas of Vengi...

...our Kakatiya kingdom

is the most powerful

Enemies on all 4 sides are

Yadavas of Devagiri, Seuna

Pandyas

Tribes from Turpu

Hoysalas

We are surrounded by scheming

and self centered allies

These power-crazy

crafty foxes thrive here

In our kingdom known

for its righteous rule...

...common people will suffer

much more than our soldiers

If our enemies had got wind of

our heir-apparent's gender right then...

...our Kakatiya kingdom would have

merged with the dust long ago

Noose for kings

And handcuffs around people's wrists

...our culture and lineage

would have perished

'To infuse fear into

our enemies' minds...'

'...confidence in the hearts

of our own people'

'...we were forced to lie about

your birth and upbringing'

As a child it was easy

for us to convince our subjects

Now that she has

attained puberty...

...is it right to make them

believe she is a boy?

Till date we were able to

achieve what we had planned

Now whatever maybe

the repercussion...

...we have to face it

We shall announce

in the assembly

Make the necessary arrangements

You took a bold decision

for the welfare of our kingdom

I shall remain as Rudradeva

till that goal is fulfilled

'10 years later'

King's kith and kin

Hari Hara Deva and Murari Deva's

brother-in-law Nagadeva...

...is coming to tame

the mad elephant

Come

Come

Face me

Like tugging the sari off a woman...

...he thought it easy

to tame an elephant

Is there no brave man in Orugallu

to tame this mad elephant?

How can that be, Prasad Aditya?

Of course there is

Our valiant prince Rudradeva

Even if you don't remember...

...we haven't forgotten

Fearless and courageous

As brave as a lion and

one who knows all the tricks

All that is mere folklore

We haven't seen the valor

of our prince face to face

Despite being your kith and kin

Even the people of our kingdom...

...have not set eyes on

prince Rudradeva it seems

Will our prince appear

at least today being a special day?

Will we be blessed

by his august presence?

We want Rudradeva

The young prince

We want to see our prince

Rudradeva, our future king

Your Majesty

It is the king's duty to fulfill

the wishes of his people

Prasad Aditya

Ask Rudradeva to come

'Already this elephant is wild'

'If I feed this brew, I dread

to think of the prince's plight'

Our future king

prince Rudradeva

Bravest warrior on earth

Welcome prince Rudradeva

Long live prince Rudradeva!

(loud cheers)

Chief minister

My eyes perceive

Rudradeva as a lion

Long live young prince Rudradeva

(continuous cheering)

Our future king

Prince Rudradeva

Long live!

The bravest of the brave
