The devotion of a Shiva Bhakta is tested by the Lord himself. Siriyala and his wife get a child after many prayers and vows to love the baby dearly. However when Parvati, Lord Shiva's wife, doubts Siriyala's devotion, Shiva decides to test him. Siriyala passes the tests easily, but when he is asked to sacrifice his own son to two mendicants, Siriyala must choose between devotion and love for his child.
