This is one of the best stories from Hindu traditions which signifies the nature of husband-wife relation in Hinduism.
It shows that wife is not weak, helpless and a liability on her husband. But she is strong and a shield to him. Her strength doesn't comes from power of muscles but from power of love.
Love, which transcends the materiality of physical pleasures and intertwines the fate and soul of lover and beloved, has power to defeat even inevitable fate and could force even god of death to kneel.

Lovely animations, Thank you Ted for your efforts to introduce these to the foreign world. Next time when you make a video on Hinduism, I would recommend the tragedy of Sati and Shiva or the life of the Pandavas and Draupadi.

What can you do when every cell of your body is being bombarded with adrenaline, dopamine, and progesterone. It's way too painful. How do I calm this restless heart of mine?

the god of death could easily have just said,
_ well your vow's not my problem. _
_if you want the kids you'll just have to break it and marry someone else. _

I hope to see the day when tales from Ramayana and Mahabharata are covered by ted-ed in the same fashion as the tales of Hercules, and Norse gods
