Whereat, malice Rama Narayana & Lakshmi Narayan swindles by slaying Govinda Narayana and pin Satyanarayana bankrupt before the public. As a result, he confronts ignominy and commits suicide. Before dying, Govinda Narayana divulges the actuality to his children, who seek vengeance. In the interim, Lakshmi Narayana's wife, Jaya, learns his diabolic shade and quits to an Ashram.
