However, even Manasa is defeated by Behula. Manasa's victory over Chand suggests the victory of the indigenous or non-Aryan deity over the Aryan god. Shiva, whom Chand worshipped, was originally not an Aryan god, but over time was elevated to that position. The conflict between human beings and the goddess brings out the social discriminations of society, as well as the conflict between Aryans and non-Aryans. The epic brings out the caste divisions and the conflicts between Aryans and non-Aryans. Chandradhar and Behula have been portrayed as two strong and determined characters at a time when ordinary human beings were subjugated and humiliated. Manasamangal is the tale of oppressed humanity. Behula succeeds in bringing Chand's seven sons back to life and rescuing their ships. Finally, Behula, the newly-wed wife of Chand's youngest son Lakhindar, makes the goddess bow to her love for her husband through her strength of character, limitless courage and deep devotion. Manasa takes revenge upon Chand by destroying seven of his ships at sea and killing his seven sons. But, far from worshipping her, Chand refuses to even recognize her as a deity. Chandradhar is a worshipper of Shiva, but Manasa hopes that she can win over Chand to her worship. The story of Manasamangal begins with the conflict of the merchant Chandradhar or Chand Sadagar with Manasa and ends with Chandradhar becoming an ardent devotee of Manasa. The show was adapted from the Hindu mythological story of Manasamangal Kāvya and Behula.
