Suryadev is furious on seeing his son and questions Chaya's character, as he firmly believes that the baby is not his. Meanwhile, an eclipse is cast over the blazing sun, which surprises all the Gods and makes Suryadev cry out in agony. Suryadev curses the newborn to die the moment a ray of sunlight falls on him. Chaya sets off with the baby on a horse to a forest, where the rays can't reach him. She prays to Lord Shiva to help her name her son and he christens him as, 'Shani'.
