Sri Krishna Tulabharam Story
The film begins with [[Krishna]] & [[Satyabhama]] returning to Dwaraka after defeating [[Narakasura]]. Hereupon, vainglory Satyabhama conceits herself as the victory’s leading cause. Meanwhile, Narada obtains a ”Parijata flower” from heaven, bestows it on Krishna, and requests honor for his darling, and he endorses it to [[Rukmini]]. Being conscious of it, spat Satyabhama, annoyed toward Krishna. Ergo, he oaths her to accord the entire ”Parijat tree” and plant it in her garden. Next, Krishna lands in heaven, confronts [[Indra]], wins the tree, and gifts it to Satyabhama. Consequently, her pride magnifies tenfold, and she looks at Rukmini at a low pace. Following, on Rukmini’s birthday, she invites Krishna for hospitality, which Satyabhama denies. Anyhow, the Lord surrenders for Rukmini’s devotion. Thus, Satyabhama aims to hold proprietorial power over her and possess all his love.
Hence, to enlighten her, Narada drives a game to perform a ritual called ”Sri Krishna Tulabharam,” i.e., to donate her husband with the ”Parijat tree” and recoup him by weighing him with his equivalent wealth. Here, egoistic, filthy rich Satyabhama feels it smoothy but falls flat when Narada carries Krishna and auctions him in the streets. At this, the public revolts, and all the fellow wives plead with Narada to acquit Krishna taking over their wealth. Then, he proclaims that the Lord grants only devotion, and the one & only who does so in the universe is Rukmini. Accordingly, Satyabhama’s pride bows her head down before Rukmini, who retrieves Krishna with ”Tulasidalam,” the Basil leaf. Finally, the movie ends with Satyabhama perceiving the Lord’s form and becoming a devotee.
