Mahabharatam Web Series Episode-4 (Sharmishtha - Devayani) | సంపూర్ణ మహాభారతం భాగం-4 (శర్మిష్ఠ - దేవయాని) | Maheedhar's Planet Leaf (MPlanetLeaf)

In Hindu mythology, Sharmistha, also known as Sharmista or Sharmishtha, was the daughter of the great Daitya King Vrishparva and Devayani was the daughter of Shukracharya, Daitya guru and his wife Jayanti, daughter of Indra. Sharmistha was also a friend of Devayani for whom she later becomes a servant.

Sharmistha was the daughter of Vrishaparva, the Daitya king, for whom Shukracharya was an adviser. One day Sharmishtha, daughter of the Danava king Vrishparva and Devayani, daughter of the Daitya sage Shukracharya, go with Sharmishtha's retinue to bathe in a forest pool not far from their home. After bathing, Sharmishtha confuses Devayani's sari with hers and puts it on instead. Devayani returns, scolds Sharmishtha for her mistake and belittles her with the jibe that she is the daughter of Shukracharya (Shukracharya being a sage and high priest and indeed the guru of all the Asuras - no mere employee) as Vrishparva's and their Kingdom lives on his blessings. This slur on herself and her father Vrishparva infuriates Sharmishtha with the help of her servants throws the naked Devayani into a well and leaves the forest with her retinue. Later Yayati, son of Nahusha, comes to the well for water and helps Devayani to climb out of it. She tells him that as he held her right hand, he should be her husband (This comes in next episode).

However, Devayani, still angered by Sharmistha's belittling her at the forest, plans her revenge on Sharmistha. She tells her father that she wouldn't go back to the capital until Sharmistha serves as a handmaiden for the rest of her life. Shukracharya also leaves the capital to stay with his dearest daughter. Seeing the plight of her father King Vrisparva, Sharmistha sacrifices her royal status and agrees to take up the role of a handmaiden to Devayani to protect the kingdom. Devayani comes back to capital along with her father and enjoys the servitude of Sharmistha.
