Gifted with a celestial wife—an Apsara from the heavens—his adventures spiral from divine dance halls to fierce battles with Kinnaras, from heavenly courts to the very kingdom of Yama, Lord of Death.
From gambler to guest in heaven, from lover to judge of souls—this is the story of a man who dared to roll the dice with destiny.
