Script
Scene 1: Un-dead Bheeshma
[Bheeshma laying on the bed of arrows as Amba makes him realize his sins]
Shikhandi: Sanyog se athva bhagya se kuch nahi prapt hota. Har manushya apne
karam se apna bhavishya swayam likhta hai, jaise tumne likha, gangaputra Bheeshma.
Mai ek vishesh lakshya ke liye apni Chita ke rakh se utpann hua tha. Aur Aaj Mai
shikhandi tumhare iss sthiti ka karan bankar aaya hoon. Gyaat hai tumhe jab tumne
mera haran kiya tha...
Scene 2: Swayamvar
[ Narration: Sabhi rajao, rajkumaro, aur veer darbaar mein upasthit the, mere, Ambika
aur Ambalika ke swayamvar ke liye. ]
Darbaan: Rajkumari, Amba, Ambika aur Ambalika padhaar rahe hai!
Kashya: Karyakram aarambh kiya jaaye.
Ambika: Amba ko toh pata hai, ussey kissey varmala pehnani hai.
Amba: Tum dono bhi apne maharajkumar dhundlo.
Bheeshma: Thehro! Swayamvar mein Hastinapur ko na bulake, aapne Hastinapur ka
apmaan kiya hai. Parantu mai aapko shama karto hoon. Iss swayamvar mein mai,
Hastinapur naresh, Maharaj Vichitravirya ka pratinidthva kar raha hoon. Mai inn teeno
rajkumario ke apne chote bhai Vichtraveerya ki Maharani banane le ja rahon. Yadi kisi
mein himmat hai mujhe rokne ki, toh prayaas karle.
[Takes the 3 sisters and leaves]
Scene 3: Abduction
Shadow Act
[ Bheeshma is going away on a chariot with the 3 sisters and suddenly Shalva stops him ]
Shalva: Bheeshma!
[ Bheeshma and the 3 sis turn and Bheeshma gets out of the chariot. Chariot leaves the
scene and Shalva enters ]
Shalva: In rajkumario ko apna var chun neka adhikar hai, Bheeshma!
Bheeshma: In rajkumario ko nahi hai.
Shalva: Apni zabaan ko lagam do, Bheeshma!
Bheeshma: Mai keval ghodo ko lagam deta hoon.
Shalva: Main tumhe in rajkumariyon ka apaharan karne nahi doonga. Tumhe mujhse
yudh karna hoga.
Bheeshma: Toh phir yuddh hi sahi!
[ They start fighting and Bheeshma defeats Salva and leaves in his chariot ]
Scene 4: Confession
Amba: Rajmata Satyawati, kya mai ek vinati kar sakti hoon.
Satyawati: Avshya karo putri.
Amba: Gangputra Bheeshma ke aane se pehele se hi mai man hi man Shalva naresh ko
apna pati maan chuki thi, Rajmata.
Satyawati: Tab Rajkumar Vichitravirya ka vivah Rajkumari Amba se nahi ho sakta,
Bheeshma. Tum nishcint raho rajkumari, tumhe aadar ke saath Shalv bhijwaane ke
prabandh kiya jaayega.
Amba: Dhanyawad Rajmata.
Scene 5: Rejection
Shadow Act
Amba: Shalva Naresh! (Happily)
Shalva: Jaao jaake Bheeshma se kehdo hum haari hui vastu daan mein sweekar nahi
karte.
Amba: Shalva Naresh (Dejected)
[ Bheeshma Appears and Amba goes to Bheeshma ]
Amba: Bheeshma, Shalva Naresh ne daan mein mili hui Amba ko sweekar karne se
saaf mana kar diya. Tumhari wajah se mer apmaan hua hai, ab tum hi mujhe apni patni
ke roop mein sweekar karoge.
Bheeshma: Ye sambhav nahi hai devi! Maine bramhachari rehne ki pratigya li hai, mai
tumse vivah nahi kar sakta.
Amba: Mai tumhe mere apmaan ke liye kabhi shama nahi karungi. Chahe mujhe uske
liye janm par janm kyu na lene pade!
[ Shadow act ends, Amba is sitting down dejected and her monologue starts ]
Amba: Maine kaunse bure karm kiye hai, jinke liye mujhe itna badi dand mil raha hai?
Hey Bhagwan, mai hi kyu? Bheeshma ko uske bure karmo ka parinaam bhugatna hoga.
Main tapasya karke Bhagwan Shiv se vardaan prapt karungi.
Scene 6: Penance
Amba: Om Namah Shivay - Om Namah Shivay - Om Namah Shivay
[ A blue light falls on Amba and a celestial voice speaks ]
Shiva: Hey putri tumhare tap se hum prasanna hue. Agle janm mein tum hi banogi
Bheeshma ki Mrityu ka kaaran.
Scene 7: Un-dead Bhishma
Shikhandi: Tumhare Karmo ka fal tumhare saamne hai. Hum bade vichitra samaj mein
jee rahe hai. Naari ke maan apmaan par bhi, purush ka adhikar hai. Ghayal naagin,
ghayal sherni, aur apmaanit stree se darna seekho.
