"Savitri has chosen Satyavan for her partner in the game of life. This choice has implications upon future that is yet sealed to human view. But there, in the court of King Aswapati, are seated two great beings - King, a yogi and seer, and Narada, the demigod, who has privy to the book of Fate. A brief exchange between three of them follows."

"[...] the seer King bids Narada to bless his daughter to lead a happy, fruitful life in the future, oblivious of sorrow and pain. And yet as Aswapati speaks, he betrays the deeper truth that God’s chosen ones must pass through the test of fire to fulfill the work they have come to accomplish."
