Sudama & Susheela decide that the next morning, they will leave the house. Next morning, Susheela appears b4 Sudama in her old sari, and Sudama compliments her. The kids then come, all in rags, and they are all very happy. Susheela hands over the keys of her house to her maid Champa, and tells her that this house was the lord's gift to them, and to take good care of it. Champa is stunned, but accepts it, and they all leave, Sudama w/ Krishna's statue in his arms.
(If he wants to be independent of Krishna, why doesn't he leave his statue too w/ Champa? 😡)
Jamvavati is upset seeing all this. Krishna tells her that Sudama has raised his kids well that they very willingly gave up all this to follow him. Jambavati tells him that she is concerned about the kids & their well being. 😭
Sudama & family move into their old dump, and he installs the statue and does his puja, and Susheela joins him & asks him to bless her that she'd be a worthy wife & mother. Sudama praises her. Mohan & 2 of the other kids claim 3 of the corners, Susheela claims the 'kitchen' and Sudama tells the 4th that he can sleep w/ him. Sudama then asks them to arrange the house while he makes some arrangements for food.
Krishna in a somewhat contrived voice tells Udhav that so far, he's been only helping those Brahmins who don't want his help, so from now on, he'll just go and help those who are truly in need of it. Udhav is unimpressed, and as Krishna leaves, Udhav tells himself that a thousand of Krishna's smiles won't disguise his unhappiness @ Sudama leaving.
Sudama goes going begging from door to door. He explains to the first woman how he had decided to earn his own living. However, most people who he sees are now derisive of him 👏 One woman tells him that they had hoped that since he was so close to Krishna, that they too would benefit from this friendship & that association, but instead, Sudama just severed all ties w/ Krishna. Another man tells Sudama that he's a blight & not to show his face. As usual, Sudama does his JSK jaabs after these insults. Sudama then goes to another place, where others speculate that he must have lost all his wealth by gambling 🤣 In another place, Sudama overhears 2 men discussing how he dashed their hopes of being associated w/ Krishna by snapping all ties w/ him - he's such a moron 👍🏼 In short, everybody Sudama begs from either who doesn't know thinks that he gambled his fortune away, or those who do know think that he was a moron by giving it all away to his maid. 😆
Krishna runs into his room pretty excited and asks Jambavati to prepare malpoa for that night. He describes how some Brahmins are very pleased w/ him & would be happy to be hosted by him, and he's very happy @ the thought of their benefiting from his generousity. Jambavati & Savitri remember Sudama, & look sad.
Sudama then stands in front of his own home, & Champa is scared to see him. She goes inside and tells her husband that Sudama is here, and what if he wants his house back? 😆 Champa's hubby goes out and warns Sudama to get lost 🤣 Sudama tries to explain, but the man asks him to not dare show up there again 😆
Sudama is back home, and the kids ask him for the usual stuff - one asks him for the roti & ghee, while Mohan asks him for the rabri 😆 Susheela looks @ him helplessly, while Sudama looks embarrassed.
