However, he finds an opportunity when Krishnadevaraya is unable to distribute 17 disputed elephants among three brothers as per their deceased father's will. Neither Rajaguru nor his assistants help him and he returns dejected. Raman reaches Hampi and approaches Rajaguru, the royal priest of the Vijayanagara empire to find employment in the court of king Krishnadevaraya. Raman accepts it as a blessing and requests Kali to save him from further dangers, to which the goddess agrees and disappears. Raman opts for both, which angers Kali who warns that he might end up as a clownish poet whose wisdom is solely useful for entertaining others. That night, Kali appears before him and grants a boon: he would have to choose either wisdom or materialistic wealth. On his way to Hampi, he halts at a Kali temple where he is initially terrified looking at the goddess' idol and the animal sacrifices made to please her. To earn a livelihood, he migrates to Hampi along with his wife Kamala and son Madhava. Raman is a poet and scholar whose talent is not recognised in his hometown Tenali.
