Hence Mahodora performs a huge penance for Lord Siva (Rajanala) and acquires a boon that he will not die by any weapon used by others. Meanwhile, on the occasion of Krishna's birthday, his eight wives present eight gems when Narada arrives and stirs a quarrel by telling that it would be more beautiful if it would be one more gem, as an intention that Krishna should have one more wife.

Hearing miseries of the victims, Goddess Saraswathi (Rama Prabha) asks Lord Brahma (Prabhakar Reddy) when will be the end to this anarchy and he replies that the time is imminent. Brahma creates a beautiful girl called Vasundhara (Jayalalitha) with a ring, by which she will be a girl to women and a statue to men, except for her fiancé. After her marriage, if any other men try to remove the ring, it transforms into a weapon and kills him. After that, Brahma calls Narada and asks him to be her foster father for a few days. Once Mahodara sees Vasundhara and wants to possess her. Being aware of it, Narada takes Vasundhara to Dwaraka and asks Rukmini (Devika) to safeguard her for a few days, when she is hesitating he tells the secret of the ring and she agrees. At the same time, Krishna & Satyabhama (Jamuna) return after defeating Narakasura. Sri Krishna can see Vasundhara because he is her fiancé, every day Krishna silently meets Vasundhara and they love each other. Satyabhama senses it, becomes furious and keeps Vasundhara in prison. Now Mahodara ploy provokes Pundarika Vasudeva (Nagabhushanam) keep Kuchela in his custody to eliminate Krishna. Krishna moves to his rescue and safeguards by eliminating Pundarika Vasudeva. Taking it as an opportunity, Mahodara attacks Dwaraka and grabs Vasundhara when Krishna returns learns regarding the situation. Eventually, Mahodara is making his marriage arrangements with Vasundhara. Krishna reaches there as a Brahmin cleverly marries Vasundhara and puts the ring back on her finger.
