Now Parvati arises as Kamakshi with Karthavaraya as a baby and the lady as Aryamala the daughter of an Arya king. Karthavaraya grows up in tribes and then proceeds toward his mother who blesses him with the supernatural power of changing intended forms. Currently, he starts touring, when gets acquainted with Aryamala and they fall in love. Knowledge of it, Kamakshi alarms him it is hazardous to the club with Aryamala, which he deaf ears. Therefrom, Karthavaraya frequently attends the palace in different forms and knits Aryamala as a Brahmin. The Arya King denies it, when Karthavaraya is seized, in that chaos, Aryamala is gravely injured. Hereupon, Karthavaraya is ruthlessly towed and edicts the death penalty. Therein, Kamakshi lands and begs the king for pardon but in vain. Hence, she flares up with a call to Siva which creates an apocalypse and collapses the fort.
