But Rajni does not complain. Instead, she tends to Manik’s rotting limbs, feeds him with her own hands, and chants God’s name day and night. Her devotion is absolute—not out of duty, but out of seeing God in her husband.

One night, Manik, in a fit of depression, screams, “I am a burden! Leave me!”

The king asks, “How can this tree bear such sweet fruit?”

The saint smiles and prophesies: “By your own words, you shall be judged. You will marry your daughter to a beggar, and you will beg from a leper.”

Soon after, while walking through a forest, the king spots a wild ber tree. To his shock, a sits under it. When the king tastes the fruit from the tree, it is the sweetest he has ever eaten.

The story begins in medieval India. (modeled after historical King Salvahan), a powerful but egoistic ruler, has one great pride: his beautiful and virtuous daughter, Rajni . He adores her but is blind to his own arrogance.
