Lord Vishnu decides to manifest on earth to keep the people on a right track. Though in earlier times, he chose to personify on his own in different shapes and avatars, this time, he gives a serious thought that he should include his other counterparts Brahma and Siva also with him.
The Trimurthis join together and get a new shape called Satyadeva, while their consorts also turn one to become Satyavati. In order to fulfil his vow to Ratnakara in Thretha Yuga during Ramavatar, Satyadeva descends on Ratnagiri. Vishnu appears in the dream of Inuganti Venkata Rama Raja Bahaddur (Krishna) who was a devotee of Siva and informs him about his incarnation on Ratnagiri, while Lord Siva appears in the dream of a Vaishnavite purohit in the Raja's court and reveals the same. Both the king and the purohit search for Satyadeva and find him with the help of Nerellamma (Sivaparvati).
As was advised by the Lord, the king builds a big temple and consecrates the idol. After its completion, Lord Rama with his consort Sita from Bhadradri reaches Annavaram and performs the first-ever vratam on the hill shrine, with Narada (Rajkumar) as purohit. After the vratam, Satyadeva directs Narada to publicise about the greatness of the vratam among the public.
However, Narada wanted to do it in a different way by asking his father Brahma to create people with various vices and evil minds full of 'Arishadvarga' (eight kinds of evils) namely Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada and Matsarya. Both Narada and Satyadeva ensure that the vratam is performed by the people facing these evils. Then everyone comes to know about the greatness of Lord Satyadeva. The stories and histories of these people who were rid of those evils are now being narrated as six separate stories during the Satyanarayana vratam.
