Rupnath grew up in ignorance of his origins, but one day when he was twelve years old he encountered Deval, and persuaded her to tell him the truth. Then he was consumed by desire to take revenge on Khici. In the disguise of a holy man ( gogo chauhan) he went to Khici's place, and his aunt Pema (Khici's wife) told him how to avoid the traps and savage animals with which Khici guarded himself. He was successful in doing this, and thus came into the room where Khici was asleep. He awoke him, told him who he was, and then beheaded him. Pema helped her nephew escape, and asked him for her husband's head, for her to commit Sati with. After playing with the head, Rupnath kicks Khici's head back to Pema. After killing Khici, Rupnath becomes a sage and meditates for the rest of his days.
