An old man, a relative of Shekharan, comes to his house. The old man tells him that Shekharan is part of a large family which has been privileged enough to be resourceful due to the boon of a great grandfather of the family. He invites Shekharan to visit the family. Shekharan goes with the old man and visits his distant cousins who are all well placed and affluent. Shekharan learns that the boons of the family are from the spiritual accomplishments of the great great grandfather.
