Summary: Rohini, the princess of Suvarnadesh and her closest friend Mangala is on their way to Prayag, for Rohini is going to be betrothed to Trivikram, the king of Prayag. Nevertheless, tragedy strikes when on the way the chariot they are traveling on skids over a precipice. But the girls are saved by the timely intervention of Gorakhnath, the great saint who has the power of performing miracles. Meanwhile, at Prayag, Mayavati, the sister of Trivikram is seething with rage. She is waiting to avenge the death of her husband in the hands of Rohini's father by killing Rohini. However, all her plans to eliminate Rohini go awry and instead the snake brought in to take Rohini's life, bites the king killing him instantly. A distraught Mangala, unable to come to terms with Rohini's bereavement, remembers Gorakhnath's miraculous powers and rushes to him to help restore the king's life. The great saint refuses to comply to her request on the grounds that no human being has the right to interfere with the natural order of things. Not the one to give up so easily, Mangala threatens to end her life if her demand is not met. Pushed to a corner, Gorakhnath has no choice but to heed to her request. And soon enough the king is brought back to life. But for Gorakhnath, this hasty decision could mean a life of contempt from his superior.
