After some time, Kaushika is affected by leprosy when Mohanangi and her mother Nagamani cheat him, take his property, and throw him out. At that point, Sumathi arrives to his rescue, and with the guidance of Anasuya, they go on a pilgrimage. On the way, they reach a kingdom where King Chandrasena gets a divine feeling by seeing Sumathi and provides hospitality as a brother. However, Kaushika suspects their relationship and asks Sumathi to undergo an ''Agni Pariksha'' test of fire to prove her innocence; when she plunges into the sacrificial fire, Lord Agni of fire raises Sumathi, unharmed, attesting to her divinity. After that, once Kaushika visits Chandrasena's court, he views the dance performance of Madana Manjali. From there, he is burning out of lust when Sumathi is not able to tolerate her husband's pain, so she requests Madana Manjali. Looking at her devotion towards her husband, Madana Manjari agrees to bring him. Sumathi keeps him in a basket that night and carries him on her head. Kaushika's legs hit Sage Mandavya when he curses him to die at sunrise. Angered, Sumathi edicts and bars the sunrise when the universe stands still. At that moment, ''Trimurti's'' [Brahma](/source/Brahma), [Vishnu](/source/Vishnu) & [Shiva](/source/Shiva) reach Sumathi and try to divert her, but they too are frozen. Knowing it, ''Trimata's'' [Lakshmi](/source/Lakshmi), [Parvathi](/source/Parvathi) & [Saraswati](/source/Saraswati) immediately rush to Anasuya and plead with her to protect the universe. At the request of Anasuya, Sumathi takes back her word, and Kaushika dies. However, with the blessings of Anusuya, Kaushika is rejuvenated. At last, Anasuya tells Sita to follow in the footsteps of Sumathi. Finally, the movie ends with Sita & Rama continuing their journey. == Cast == {{colbegin}} *[Kanta Rao](/source/Kanta_Rao) as Kaushikudu *[Anjali Devi](/source/Anjali_Devi) as Sati Sumathi & Sati Anasuya (Dual role) *[S.
