The story starts with a dialogue between the great hermit Ratnambar and his disciples, Shwetank and Vishaldev about the sin that humans usually do in life; is nothing, though he or she (human) becomes the victims and slave of circumstances. So, according to Ratnambar - "there is no such sin and virtue". Since everyone does according to the circumstances and fell in different parts of the life span. The luxurious life by a great feudal and young soldier, Bijgupta (Pradeep Kumar in the film), who serves under the Maurya empire and the king Chandragupta Maurya and a beautiful dancer and young widow, Chitralekha (Meena Kumari in the film) - actually they are the main characters of this novel.

The other characters are Yashodhara, the princess, and his father, the aged Mritunjay. The character, Chanakya, has been brought to make the novel interesting.
AND A BEAUTIFUL SONG OG THIS FILM
Sansar se bhage phirte ho,
Bhagwan ko tum kya paoge,
Is lok ko bhi apna na sake,
Us lok me bhi pachhtaaoge.
Ye paap hai kyaa ye punya hai kyaa
riton par dharam ki muharen hai
kalyug me badlte dharmon ko
kaise adrash bana'oge
Ye bhog bhi ek tapasya hai,
Tum tyaag ke maare kya jano,
Apmaan racheeyeta ka hoga ,
Rachna ko agar thukraoge...
ham kehte hain ye jag apna hai
tum kehte ho jhoota sapna hai
ham janam bita kar jayenge
tum janam gawan kar jaoge...

Naam nabi ki ratn chadhi (nabi is prophet, covered with nabi ki ratn/ noor/light)
Boond padi allah allah
Rang rangeeli hori khilave
Jis sikhi ho fanafi allah (annihilation in Allah)
Arastu bi rabbekum Pritam bole (I am not your God)
Sab sakhiyon ne ghoonghat khole
Kalu Bala yun hi kar bole (Yea, indeed, we do bear witness thereto!)
La ilaha illallah (there are no Gods except God)
Hori khelungi keh bismillah
AND WHENEVER thy Sustainer brings forth their offspring from the loins of the children of Adam, He [thus] calls upon them to bear witness about themselves: "Am I not your Sustainer?" - to which they answer: "Yea, indeed, we do bear witness thereto!" [Of this We remind you,] lest you say on the Day of Resurrection, "Verily, we were unaware of this"
See the light of Muhammad as the light of Allah: There is no god but Allah. Bullhe Shah would play the holi in the name of Allah. The use of the Quranic phrases with mystical implications make the metaphor attractive. How holi should be played presupposes the contextual acceptance of the practice.
