Indrajeet was taken to a hut-like home. As the men started to remove his clothing, Vara resolutely looked up... She would have left the tent, but she was not sure about leaving Indrajeet with these unknown men. Though she didn't get any hostile vibes from them...

One man hurriedly pushed a green leaf-like substance down Indra's throat with water, while another man started applying paste-like substances on his injuries. Vara was horrified when Indrajeet started vomiting continuously, even expelling some blood. She tried asking the men who were treating Indrajeet, but they could not understand her and gestured for her to leave the tent. The same woman came and took her out.
Vara tried to ask the woman, but she was taken to another man, who appeared to be in his early 40s. He was the only one who could speak the language that Vara understood. He introduced his parents as the chief of the village and himself as the chief's son, with the woman accompanying Vara being his wife.
They were tribal people with almost no contact with the outside world, known as the Vanyasi. For them, the forest is their only god...
The son had run away during his teenage years and had wandered in the outside world for a few years, hence he knew how to speak Hindi. He returned after some years and was the only person who still rarely wandered outside, except for emergencies; otherwise, the forest was their abode. The village population was below a hundred, with some 35-40 odd hut-like structures.
