Jai Sri Ram
Gods are moving in the ashram disguised as sanyasis.One god- How fortunate is he, who gets the chance to attends the chhathi festival and the naming ceremony of the children of universal Master Sri Ram and mother Sita.
Narad - You are right. It is our good fortune.
Old woman - Did you put kesar? You must put kesar in the milk of small kids.
Sita - Mother, you know a lot about how to bring up kids. But you never said anything about where your children are?This update is stolen from india forums web site.
Old woman - I could tell only if I had children. In the childhood itself, I took the vow of brahmacharya. When I was very small, I came to Valmiki ji's ashram. Now the people of this ashram are my children. These two (referring to Luv and Kush) are parcels of joy. (Luv and Kush are shown. One is sleeping and the other is looking. Both so cute.)
Chhati ceremony is going on. Sita is about to offer naivedya to Valmiki.
Valmiki - What are you doing daughter?
Sita - Gurudev, tradition says that we should offer food to our ishta-god and then give food to children. Guru himself is Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Therefore I offer this naivedya to you. Panch praan vayu naivedyam samarpayaami.
Valmiki - May God bless you.
Gods come there singing. Ashram vasis join in the song.
Vardaani tithi aayi chhati ki, le lo badhaayi
Durlabhtam nidhi aayi chhati ki, le lo badhaayi
Guru Valmiki harshit ho, sabhi shubh sansaar kara de
Kabhi janak, kabhi purohit - rishi dono ka dharm nibha de
Mukhrupi laali chhayi, ho chhayi
Vardaani tithi aayi chhati ki, le lo badhaayi
Durlabhtam nidhi aayi chhati ki, le lo badhaayi
Valmiki - Daughter, your elder son will be named Kush and your younger son will be named Luv.
Rishivar se sukumasro ko Kush, Luv subh naam mile hain
Is param alaukik aanand se hridayon ke kamal khile hain
Ab maange re atithi vidaayi vidaayi
Vardaani tithi aayi chhati ki, le lo badhaayi
Durlabhtam nidhi aayi chhati ki, le lo badhaayi
Ram-dularon ka, Sita ke pyaron ka
Ho gaya naam karan dono sukumaron ka
In Ayodhya also celebrations are going on for the naming ceremony of the children of Bharat, Laxman, and Shatrughan.
Vardaani tithi aayi chhati ki, le lo badhaayi
Durlabhtam nidhi aayi chhati ki, le lo badhaayi
Kaushalya, Sumitra, Kaikeyi - tino phuli na samayen
Shishuon ke naam-karan par mani-mukta kosh lutaayen
Yahaan kirn sukhon ne lagayi lagayi
Vardaani tithi aayi chhati ki, le lo badhaayi
Durlabhtam nidhi aayi chhati ki, le lo badhaayi
Vashishth - The names of the children of yuvraj Bharat and his wife Mandavi will be Daksh and Pushkal. The names of the children of prince Laxman and his wife Urmila will be Angad and Chandraketu. The names of the children of prince Shatrughan and his wife Shrutkirti will be Subahu and Shatrughati.
Kaushalya imagines Ram and Sita there with their children in their laps. She is very happy. Then she realizes that it was her imagination and she becomes sad.
Kaushalya is in her room crying.
Ram - Ma, what are you thinking? Is everything all right?
Kaushalya - Whatever is in front of eyes is all right. But I am sad over what is not in front. Sita left this palace, this city. I will never be able to take her children in my lap.
Ram - Ma, I understand your pain. But it was all destiny. What is the use of remembering it and feeling sad?I cannot write update myself. I stole this update.
Kaushalya - Everything that happens to humans is destiny. But still we feel sad. It is our nature.
Ram - Ma, sages say that if it happens as per our will, then good. If it happens as per God's will, then even better. God must have planned something better for my chldren. That is why He sent them elsewhere.
Kaushalya - May be you are right. My only wish is that Sita should be happy whereever she is.
She prays to God to take care of Sita and her children.
The old woman is taking care of Luv and Kush. She has brought soft beds for them. Sita comes there.
Sita - Mother, why are you trying to change the fate of these children? Could anybody ever win over destiny?
Old woman - Who am I to change anybody's fate? I was changing their beds. My grandchildren feel problem in sleeping on the bed of grass.I stole this update from india forums web site.
Sita - Mother, if soft beds were in their fate, then they would have born in some royal palace. But that did not happen. That is why, please take these soft beds back?
Old woman - How can I take them back? I walked 10 kosas for them. One person donated these.
Sita - Mother, your love for my children is perhaps greater than mine. But if grass-beds hurt my children, then let them hurt. I want to make my children strong like rock and iron so that from childhood itself, they learn how to face the problems of the world. I wish that they should, happily, be able to bear greatest pain inflicted by the world and the society. Any test should not be able to shake them from their aim.
Sita and the old woman remove the soft beds.
Later, Sita is working in garden. Luv and Kush are there in Sun.
Old woman - She keeps on working. But does not take care of kids. The children are crying in such a sultry Sun.
She covers Luv and Kush with cloth. Sita smiles.
It is shown that Sita is working hard in the ashram and also taking care of Luv and Kush.
The background song says that those who had to sleep on the bed of flowers are sleeping on the bed of rough grass.
Luv and Kush grow up by a few years. The old woman is running behind Luv asking him to eat.
Luv - If you want me to eat, then close your eyes.
She closes her eyes. There is a picher hanging above her. Luv throws a pebble on it and it breaks. It contents fall on the woman's head.I stole this update.
Luv is very happy to see this. Kush comes there.
Kush - Luv, this is wrong. Say sorry to Nani.
Sita also comes there.I am a thief.
Sita - Luv, what are you doing? You are torturing Nani?
Old woman - He is just a kid.
Sita - Being a child does not mean that he should be uncontrolled. Luv, say sorry.
Luv - I am sorry, Nani Ma.
Kush and Luv hug each other.
Precap - Luv and Kush are playing with other kids. The ball, with which they are playing falls near a snake.
