Synopsis

A sense of grim satisfaction settled over the villagers with Mani’s passing, yet Malla remained. Mahalsa resolved to end him. Lord Vishnu implored Malla to atone for his transgression, but the plea was met with defiance; he vowed instead to avenge Mani’s death. Turning to Mahalsa, Vishnu commanded her to strike him down. On both sides, armies prepared for a conflict that threatened to engulf them all.
