Plot

In the city of Ujjayini, King Yashaugha and his queen Chandramati had a son named Yashodhara. His beloved was a woman named Amruthamathi. When Yashaugha grew old, he crowned his son and retired to the forest for penance. Yashodhara and Amruthamathi continued their lives in mutual affection. One night, while the couple was lying in bed, Amruthamathi heard a tune sung by Ashtavankara in the nearby horse stable. Instantly, she developed feelings for him and became eager to see and eventually unite with him. The next morning, she sent her maid to visit him. Upon seeing thecrooked and deformed man the maid was horrified and quickly returned. When Amruthamathi, who was desperately in love, asked her maid about him, the maid mockingly replied, ‘How did someone find and fall for such a god of love?’ Amruthamathi, blinded by desire, misunderstood the sarcasm and still wished to know more about his appearance. When she heard descriptions of Ashtavakara's physical deformities, she consoled herself by saying, ‘Even a crooked man can give pleasure perhaps he’s better than the handsome ones.’ She then bribed her maid to arrange a meeting and gradually began an affair with Ashtavankara, slowly drifting away from Yashodhara. When Yashodhara sensed something was wrong, he decided to investigate. He secretly followed Amruthamathi one night and discovered the truth of her affair. Enraged, he initially thought of killing both her and her lover, but regaining his composure, he returned without harming them. The next day, Amruthamathi came to know that her secret had been discovered. Amruthamathi, learning of this, invited both the king and queen to a farewell feast by poisoning the ladoos. Later her maid convinces Amruthamathi by saying that when the king spotted you eith Ashtavakara he did not kill you and now you do this is not right. Amruthamathi learns her mistake and later leaves the kingdom and starts to lead a normal life.
