Sakthivel: I am not Adhithan. I am Sakthivel.
Devaguru: I know. Sorry, Sakthivel.
Devaguru: Okay, why did you call me?
Sakthivel: Devaguru, one of our friends has been kidnapped. We thought the kidnapper was Indhiran.
Devaguru: Indhiran is not that type of person, Sakthivel. I am always watching him. He didn't do that.
Sakthivel: Ohh, okay.
Devaguru: But I can help you.
Sakthivel: Will you wait for a minute?
Devaguru: Yes, of course.
(Then, Sakthivel, Nagulan, and Sagathevan discuss the situation.)
Sakthivel: What do we do now?
Sagathevan: Why don't we ask Devaguru to help us control the soul inside our bodies?
Nagulan: That's a nice idea. This way, we will be able to go to Devalokam.
Sakthivel: But we need a backup plan in case anything goes wrong.
Nagulan: So, what is the plan?
(Then, Sakthivel tells them his plan.)
Sakthivel: Devaguru, will you do us a favor?
Devaguru: Tell me, Sakthivel.
Sakthivel: Would you be able to control the previous Devargal souls inside our bodies? This would help us go to Devalokam and ask Indhiran for help in finding our friend.
Devaguru: Sakthivel, if you want to enter Devalokam, you must spend at least five years as a Devan.
Sakthivel: So, what do we have to do now?
Devaguru: Don't worry. I will take care of that.
(Then, Devaguru performs a ritual to control the souls present inside their bodies.)
Devaguru: The souls have been successfully trapped in your "Lam."
Nagulan: What is "Lam"?
Devaguru: "Lam" means the middle portion of your body.
Sakthivel: Okay. Will you take us to Devalokam?
Devaguru: Yes. Now, all of you repeat the mantra that I am chanting.
(Then, Devaguru begins chanting the mantra, and Sakthivel, Nagulan, and Sagathevan repeat it.)
(Suddenly, they begin to fly.)
Sagathevan: Where are we going?
Sakthivel: How are you taking us to Indhira Lokam?
Devaguru: You humans only know about the space beyond your Earth. But Earth has an atmosphere and realms far beyond what you think.
Sakthivel: What is that?
Devaguru: Do you know what the top of the Earth is?
Sakthivel: As far as I know, there is no top or bottom for Earth.
Devaguru: But that's not true. Mount Kailayam is the top of the Earth, and the opposite side is the bottom.
Nagulan: Would you mind explaining it to us in detail?
Devaguru: There are six Lokas above the Earth.
Devaguru: Bhuvarloka is the place where it is determined whether a soul has to reincarnate or not.
Then, Swargaloka is Heaven. When a soul is restricted from reincarnating, it will come to Swargaloka—but only if it is a good soul.
Then, Maharloka is the realm of Rishis, saints, and ascetics.
Janaloka is the abode of Brahma's enlightened sons.
Then, Tapaloka is the world of intense penance and meditation.
And finally, Satyaloka, also known as Brahmaloka, is the highest realm, where Lord Brahma exists.
Sakthivel: Then, what about Patala Loka—the Hell?
Devaguru: I haven't finished yet. There are seven Lokas present at the bottom of the Earth.
Devaguru: Atala is the first netherworld, filled with sensory illusions, luxury, and intoxicating wealth.
Vitala is the realm ruled by Lord Shiva's gold-producing form, alongside his ghostly attendants.
Sutala is the prosperous kingdom of the virtuous demon king Bali, blessed by Vishnu.
Talatala is the technologically advanced realm of Maya, the supreme architect of illusions.
Mahatala is the dark domain of massive, multi-hooded serpents living in constant fear.
Rasatala is the home of powerful and fierce demons who live in constant rebellion.
Patala is the lowest realm, populated by the Naga serpent kingdom and illuminated by glowing gems.
And beneath that is Lord Vishnu, where he sleeps on Adishesha Nagam, the five-headed serpent.
Sagathevan: There is so much detail.
Sakthivel: Then, where is Devalokam located?
Devaguru: At the center of Bhuvarloka and Swargaloka.
Nagulan: How much time will it take us to enter Indhira Lokam?
Devaguru: We are near.
Sakthivel: I have one doubt. If you know my name, then why did you call me by the wrong name?
Devaguru: That is... We're here. Let's talk about this later.
(Sakthivel notices something strange.)
Devaguru: Everyone, welcome to Devalokam.
Sagathevan: Wow!!!
Nagulan: The infrastructure is so godly!
Sakthivel: Is everything made of gold?
Devaguru: Yes. Not your fake gold—the real, pure gold from Kuberar, the God of Wealth.
Sakthivel: Hmm...
Devaguru: Okay, come inside.
Nagulan: How big is Devalokam?
Devaguru: What is the size of your house?
Sagathevan: Hmm... Big enough for four people to sleep in.
Devaguru: Multiply that by ten billion. That is the size of the entrance of Devalokam.
Nagulan: What?
Sakthivel: You're lying. We already crossed the entrance of Devalokam.
Devaguru: What is your height?
Sakthivel: Hmm... 6'2".
Devaguru: Now, multiply that by ten billion. That's your size in Devalokam.
Nagulan: (shocked) That means I am big enough to crush the whole world?
Devaguru: But that only applies in Devalokam. The Devargals are the only people, after the three Supreme Gods, who are responsible for protecting the universe. So they need an enormous amount of energy.
Lord Brahma gives his aura of light to Devalokam, which is extremely powerful. Because of that power, we are enormous here. That's the reason.
Devaguru: Hello, Rambai.
Rambai: Hello, Devaguru.
Sagathevan: Wait a minute. This is Rambai?
Devaguru: Yes. Why are you shocked?
Sagathevan: Why am I shocked? I'm looking at the most beautiful woman and my fictional crush!
Sagathevan: Hello, Rambai. Nice to meet you. I am single. Are you single?
Nagulan: Hey, buddy, move over. I'll handle this.
Nagulan: Hello, Rambai. You have moons in your eyes. Your eyes are so attractive.
Rambai: Ohh, thank you.
Sagathevan: And one more thing...
Sakthivel: We have to go, and it's really nice meeting you, Rambai.
Sakthivel: Come on, Nagulan and Sagathevan.
Nagulan and Sagathevan: Ahhhh... Fun sucker!
Sagathevan: I'll call you later, okay?
Nagulan: Come faster.
(Indhiran is talking with the other Devargals in the main hall.)
Indhiran: Why does my heart feel so heavy?
(Then, the main hall door opens.)
Devaguru: Indhira, there are some new Devargals who want to talk with you. I think your mind will remind you of your past.
(When Indhiran sees Sakthivel's face, some memories from his past appear in his mind.)
In his memory: You can't defeat me, Indhira.
Indhiran: This is not possible.
(Indhiran feels fear after seeing Sakthivel and steps down from his throne.)
Indhiran: I am sorry...
Devaguru: Don't do anything stupid. He doesn't know anything about you.
Indhiran: Really? Okay. I'll take care of it.
Sakthivel: Hello, Indhiran. We don't know much about the culture of Devalokam, so we're sorry.
Indhiran: That's okay. For what reason have you come to me?
Sakthivel: Umm... One of our friends has been kidnapped, so we came here for your help. Will you help us?
Indhiran: Yes, of course. You all look tired. Stay here.
Nagulan: Really?
Indhiran: You can stay here for as many days as you want because you are also Devargals now.
Sagathevan: Wow! Am I dreaming?
Nagulan: No.
Sakthivel: Thank you, Indhiran.
Indhiran: Don't mention it.
(Sakthivel leaves the place.)
Devaguru: Your heart was beating heavily because of your sin. This won't last forever. One day, it will happen.
Indhiran: What do I have to do now?
Devaguru: There is nothing you can do now.
(Several hours later in Devalokam.)
(Nagulan and Sagathevan are drinking.)
Sagathevan: It tastes like heaven.
Nagulan: Yeah. Hey, Sakthivel, come and let's have a toast.
Sakthivel: No, I don't want to.
(Then, Sakthivel starts thinking about Manthagini.)
Devaguru: What are you thinking about?
Sakthivel: Nothing.
Devaguru: I know what's on your mind.
Sakthivel: Ohh, you really know? Then why don't you stop me?
Devaguru: I won't stop you because everything has to happen according to fate.
Sakthivel: Hmm.
Devaguru: I will help you talk to Manthagini.
Sakthivel: Is that possible?
Devaguru: Yes, it is possible.
(Then, Devaguru teaches him a mantra, and Sakthivel chants it.)
Sakthivel: Ohh, I'm not able to talk to her. But I can contact other things. Why?
Devaguru: Because you have low cosmic power.
Sakthivel: Ohhh.
(Then, Sakthivel writes something in Manthagini's book while she is sleeping.)
Sakthivel: In this situation, I must be with you, but the situation is not favorable for me. Once everything is finished, I will come to you.
(Then, Sakthivel admires her beauty. After a few seconds, his contact with Manthagini is disconnected.)
Sakthivel: I want to be with her all the time.
Devaguru: You will.
