His country men, courtiers and his queens give him a royal welcome ... With rejoicing and music n dance aarti and tilak ...
Queens ...Prajapati and Mahamaya Mahadevi Are overjoyed ...
His younger brother Dronadhan and his wife Queen Mangala are unhappy about the kings return as he would no longer get a free hand to run the state as per his will he would have to hand over the powers to elder brother ...
The king's brother Dronadhan n his wife Mangala fake a hearty welcome to the winner of the battle ...
The queens are sad that they are child less ...
Sri Guru Vachaspati makes a prediction that soon the kingdom will get its uttaradhikari ...if he performed the Putrakameshthi Yagya .. as the time was very Auspicious .. as auspicious as it was at the time of Lord Rama's birth ...
Amidst numerous attempts by the Mangala ... to put down the senior queen and taunt on her childless state .. Trying to push her own son Devdatt into being declared the successor to the throne...Mahamaya gets a dream of blooming lotuses ..
Soon the king summons the noble and learned saints from the entire land and they predict the arrival of a uttaradhikari very soon for the Kingdom ...He is thrilled with this auspicious prediction...
Soon Mahamaya conceives and the entire kingdom rejoices
Mangala tries numerous times to kill the Queen Mahamaya and to cause her miscarriage but she is saved every time ...
Just before the birth of her child the queen again gets dreams of lotuses, elephants ...and the noble saints decipher /predict the arrival of the great soul on the earth ...
The king and queen dream ... that the greatest King to rule the face of the earth would be their son ...
Mangala then tricks the pregnant queen to take a long journey to her maika ...just as she reaches full term and ...on the other hand all the saints and noble persons are getting visions and intuitions of the arrival of the Great Soul ...the saviour of mankind ...while enroute to her destination the queen delivers at Lumbini ... Under a Saal tree ...
The new born is brought back to Kapilavastu ... And there is lots of celebrations rejoicing ... On the arrival of the new prince ...
Precap ...Mangala is burning with jealousy and furiously breaking things she finds at hand in her room ...
