Plot

Vikramadithan, the king of Ujjain, goes for his wonted six-month retirement to the forest. Unable to bear the anguish of a mother parrot at the death of her offspring, he arranges that his soul enters the body of the parrot. Vijayan, his greedy friend, seizes the opportunity to further his own designs and abuses the trust reposed in him by the king who had taught him the art of transmigration of souls, by himself entering the body of the king and destroying his own body. Vijayan's trick is found out by Prime Minister Bhatti who makes queen Padmavathi keep off from the bogus king on the pretext of a vow of celibacy.
