The drama brings to the fore the compassion of Lord Krishna to His devotees, depicted in the lives of three of them - Droupadhi, Karuramma and Shyama. These three incidents portray Bhagavan playing the role of a Bhakta Sakha – a true friend of His devotees.

In one incident, Krishna holds the footwear of Droupadhi so she could win Bhishma’s grace of long life for the Pandavas. In the second episode, Krishna stoically bears the scolding of His pure devotee Karuramma when she does not recognize Him in the guise of a small boy and accepts the garlands and food offered to the Lord as part of Karuramma’s prayer. The final incident is taken from the Life of Shirdi Baba, wherein He asks the poison in the body of Shyama, His disciple, to “Go away” after he has been bitten by a cobra and thus saves him.
