Sati hesitates to believe that Sri Ram is a god. She approaches Sri Ram as Sita to test him. However, being a god, Sri Ram makes out that she is Sati. Lord Shiva fumes at Sati for testing Sri Ram and refuses to consider her as his wife. Narad Muni becomes happy when Tarakasur saves his veena from falling on the floor and makes Tarakasur look like himself, as a boon. Vijaya plots and takes Pasuti's permission to convince Sati to come to yagya without Lord Shiva.
