The illness continues and the native doctor Das is called in. Parbati gradually gets cured. Some days later her mother and sister Champa come to stay with her. Parbati’s mother is not well-disposed towards the mischievous Raju and tries to inuence Parbati against him. Her efforts fail, particularly as Champa also takes Raju’s side.
