Chitralekha

Mrityunjay sends Kumargiri to try to convince Rajnartaki Chitralekha to free Samant Bijgupt from her clutches so that he can wed the latter's daughter Yashodhara. Kumargiri does meet with Chitralekha but is mocked and retreats to his ashram. Shortly thereafter he gets a shock when he finds her at his abode, requesting permission to remain there and serve him. He initially refuses, but subsequently relents and permits her to live there along with other male disciples--a decision that he will rue and regret for the rest of his life.
