Many years later, the vessel is found by an old lady who sells idlis by a riverbank and she uses it to feed more people. She passes on the secret about the vessel and its power to Akshaya (Jyothika) and Masha (Revathi), who says she had buried the vessel due to fear that someone might steal it from her.
