The statesman in Pallavar is keen to convert a foe into a friend but a vengeful Pulikesi reneges on his commitment. While the Pallavas are successful in chasing the Chalukyas away Pallava Nadu bears the brunt of Pulikesi's wrath. Fate wields its unpredictable hand further. A rash decision by the sculptor Aayanar and his daughter Sivakami results in her being abducted by the Chalukyas. Sivakami takes a momentous vow little realizing how far-reaching the consequences will be.
