The girl is titled Savitri, who was raised with divinity, getting knowledge of pious chronicles & sacred wives' stories.

Once, she accompanies his father to hunt and gets acquainted with an exiled prince Satyavanta, the son of a king Dyumatsena of Salwa Kingdom.

He blew his fortune with the foe Rudrasena's backstab, left as the forest dwellers, and plucked the couple's eyes.

Suddenly, Satyavantha collapses in Savitri's lap when Yama, the god of death, lands and claims the soul.

Across scales, Yama bestows Savitri with 3 boons, excluding her husband's life, and seeks to recoup the vision & kingdom of her in-laws, & the male progeny of her parents.
