Parallelly, Ananda Bhupathi takes away King Mahendra Varma's (Dhulipala) sister and marries her for which Mahendra Varma grudges against Ananda Bhupathi. Ananda Bhupathi & Dhanunjaya Bhupathi send their children Vijay (N. T. Rama Rao) and Simhanadha (Satyanarayana) for education to Gurukula. Both grow and qualify in all fields of education but Simhanadha is always envious about Vijay as he is ahead of him. At the same time, Mahendra Varma announces the marriage of his daughter Kanchana (Devika) but he will not send the invitation to Ananda Bhupati. When Kanchana is on a joy trip in the forest, Simhananda tries to molest her and Vijay saves her. Vijay came to know that Kanchana is his cousin. Vijay’s mother tells him that she is of the hope that Vijay will marry Kanchana and reunite both families. Vijay says that warriors don’t require an invitation and promises her mother that he will get Kanchana as her daughter-in-law. Mahendra Varma puts tests for the bridegrooms who came for Swayamvaram. Simhananda is crooked and witchcraft intelligent who uses his tricks but Mahendra Varma opposes such type of tricks. Vijay wins the Swayamvara. After knowing that Vijay as his sister's son Mahendra Varma insults him but Vijay takes Kanchana and leaves for his capital. Furious Mahendra Varma calls Simhanandha and asks him to bring back Kanchana and Ananda Bhupathi with his black magic. Simhananda transforms Kanchana into a parrot, he builds a huge fort in the middle of the forest and holds Kanchana in that fort. One monkey will take away the braid of Jatapala which is responsible for Simhanadha’s black magic. Simhanadha goes in search of monkey where he is attacked by man-eaters and Vijay rescues him. But Simhanadha cleverly escapes from this and tries to molest Kanchana. Again Vijay comes there and there is a fight between them. At the same time, Vijay’s friend Madana (Balakrishna) comes with braid, Simhnadha snatches it and throws Vijay into the interior of hills. Now Simhanadha starts to kill Ananda Bhupathi, his shadow falls on a stone and Yashodara gets back her original form. But Simhanadha does not accept her as his mother. She says that he is harassing his own father. Vijay reaches there, realizes that Simhanadha is his own brother and warns him not to leave their father.
