Disclaimer: The Sagars have distorted the most important fact in this story. Jambavanti has conveniently replaced Rukmini. I am so π‘ π‘ π‘ .
If you can digest this gross misrepresentation, read on...
tulasi amrta-janmasi sada tvam keshava-priya
keshavatam cinomi tvam varada bhava sobhane
Oh Mother Tulsi, on who is born out of nectar, you are always dear to Keshava. I am offering you to Keshava as worship, please bless me.
Scene begins with K being seated on a huge scale and Sb asking her servants to bring loads of jewels. SB announces that she will have K weighed in no time. Huge platters of jewels are being place on one end, but the scale does not budge an inch. Satyabhama is puzzled.π
She begins to remove all the jewellery from her person. Narada mentally asks K to have pity on SB and finish this leela. K answers that unless SB's pride is curbed and until she realizes that God cannot be bought by worldly objects, the game will continue. ππΌ
SB, now bare necked, places the last of her remainig jewellry on the scale but no avail. Puzzlement turns to anger and finally wisdom dawns on her. She rushes forward and on bent knees and folded hands pleads to K that she has understood his leela. She will henceforth not stake her sole claim on his love. Would he please forgive her and himself find a way out of this predicament? SB is all π π
But SB still has a further lesson to be learnt. K calmly replies that he was never angry with her in the first place, why should she ask forgiveness from him. She should in fact approach those towards whom she had harboured feelings of jealously (indicating his other wives). SB, swallowing her pride and ego approaches Jambvanti and seeks her forgiveness. JV wipes her tears and asks SB to remove all the jewellery she had placed. JV then hands her a tulsi sprig and asks her to place it on the scale with complete devotion and surrender. SB does so and lo behold, the scale tilts in favour of the tulsi. Narada accepts the tulsi with great reverence.
K sermonises to SB that how could she think of weighing him with ornaments and gold when devotion , love and surrender are a woman's true jewellery (something to that effect...)
SB seeks apology from all concerned.
K then faces the camera and gives some more gyan (for us- janata)
Sudama track introduced. Now again will Rukmin i be replaced?
