Plot

The film begins at Tretayuga when Rama breaks the Siva Dhanusu bow of Siva. Whereat, he is adored & endeared by a Nagakanya Chandrasena, who is seized by Mahiravana the king of Patalalanka. During the time of the battle, Ravana bells Mahiravana who pledges to slaughter Ramalakshmana by the next morning. Being cognizant of it, Anjaneya is under his surveillance shielding Ramalakshmana. However, Mahiravana forges as Vibhishana and abducts Ramalakshmana by transforming them into statues. Outraged, Anjaneya lands at Pathalalanka. At that point, he Knowledges via Narada that it's certainly not to slay Mahiravana as his spirit is camouflage.

Ergo, Anjaneya seeks Chandrasena’s aid. In return, she urges a vow that his god should be her. Anjaneya vouchsafes it, without knowledge of her wish. As of now, Chandrasena breaks out of the puzzle when Rama kills Mahiravana. Following this, Rama is aware of Chandrasena's desire to knit him which is against the nature of Rama's Avatar. So, he bestows her a boon to comply with it in her incarnation as Satyabhama at Dwaparayuga.

Eras roll by, and Rama takes the avatar as Krishna who splices Satyabhama as per his word. Besides, vainglory, self-respected, egotistic Satyabhama is proprietorial to her husband who wants to acquire all his love. Hence, to edify her Narada drives a game to perform a ritual Sri Krishna Tulabharam i.e., to donate her husband and recoup him by weighing him with his equivalent gold. In that, Satyabhama fails when she discerns the deity will yield only to devotion. Accordingly, she bows her head down before Rukmini who weighs him with Tulasidalam the Basil leaf.

Later, Krishna proceeds as an embassy of Pandava with the Kaurava when Satyabhama appears as his devotee. Currently, the parley falls, and the devil tries to grab the lord, who backs divulging his Vishwaroopam, the entire world forms in him. Finally, the movie ends with Krishna preaching Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna.
