Balarama decides to perform the marriage of Subhadra with Duryodhana despite objections from his wife, Revathi. Bowing to Subhadra's wish, Krishna performs her marriage with Arjuna without Balarama's knowledge. Meanwhile, the Gandharva king Gaya, after obtaining from Brahma the boon of eternal fame, is returning to his kingdom in his airplane. Unaware that Krishna is paying obeisance to the Sun God, he spits betel leaf which falls into Krishna's praying hands. An angry Krishna swears to kill him. Fear-struck, Gaya runs for protection.
