Synopsis : Shandilya is the disciple of Parivrajaka, a Buddhist monk. He comes across Vasanthasena, a courtesan, who dies immediately as a result of Yamadoota’s carelessness. Witnessing Shandilya’s lamentation, Parivrajaka transfers his soul to the body of Vasanthasena. What ensues in this satirical story, that features the collision of two worlds, is nothing but a series of comical events.
