Meanwhile, Sadashiv dies on the way to the doctor. She also warns him that if the old woman wakes up, he should invoke the name of "Hastar" to make her sleep. She tells Vinayak he will have to feed the old woman that night. Sadashiv gets badly hurt after falling from a tree, forcing his mother to take him for help. Vinayak insists on finding the treasure that is rumoured to be hidden somewhere in the mansion. The Sarkar later dies, and the mother proposes leaving Tumbbad for Pune. Meanwhile, at their home, Vinayak and his younger brother Sadashiv worry about having to feed the monstrous old woman, Sarkar's ancestor, chained up in a separate room. This includes offering him sexual services in the hope of acquiring a single gold coin kept with the Hastar idol. In 1918, in Tumbbad, Vinayak's mother and the mistress of the local lord (addressed as Sarkar) meet him at his mansion. This earns the ire of the gods and they curse the village, causing an incessant downpour of rain over it. However, the residents of Tumbbad, where Hastar has been trapped in his mother's womb, defy this ancient taboo and build a temple dedicated to Hastar. For years, Hastar slumbered inside his mother's womb. Then, the goddess saved him on the condition that he could never be worshipped and would be forgotten by history. Hastar managed to acquire the gold from the goddess but the other gods attacked him just as he was about to acquire her food. Hastar, her first and most beloved offspring, was greedy for all her gold and food. When the universe was created, she gave birth to 160 million gods. She is the symbol of unlimited gold (wealth) and grain (food) and the earth is her womb. In 1947, Vinayak Rao tells his 14-year-old son Pandurang about the Goddess of Prosperity.
