    Apr 25 2025

    After being declined by Kacha, and having been saved from the well by King Yayati, Devayani chances across the King again, this time in different circumstances; when she now has Sharmistha as her maidservant. Devayani and Yayati, being enamoured with one another, agree to marriage with the conditional assent of her father Sukra. However, Devayani doesn’t know what she may expect from the boisterous King.
