Sakkubai had to face hellish torture in her mother-in-law’s home, the family members were against the worship of the idol of Lord Krishna.  One day her mother-in-law sneaked in her attic and taken away the idol of Krishna, with a wicked smile she ran out of the house and deposited the idol in the pile of cow dung.  She returned home with great pleasure thinking that Sakkubai's veneration of the idol has stopped from now onwards.  As she entered home and peeped inside the attic to enjoy the empty space, Alas! She could see the idol of Lord Krishna in the same place.  She was all frustrated rushed to the room and once again plucked the idol vehemently and ran out of the house, she came to the closest pond and threw off the idol in the water with a wicked pleasure, thinking this time she is not going to give any room for the mistake.  She returned home with great satisfaction that the idol has gone forever, she wanted to make sure that the idol did not come back, she went inside the room and saw the idol in the same place.  This time she was shocked, she was really frustrated, bend down on her knees before the idol and kept her hands on its feet and made an effort to pluck it, but it was firm on the ground.  At that moment, Sakkubai entered the room and found her mother-in-law before the idol, her head bowed down before the idol, she was surprised and thought that she might have changed her attitude about the idol worship.  Soon, her mother-in-law got on her feet and threw a hatred look on Sakkubai and left the room.  On the next day, her mother-in-law and her husband brought a Tantric who is famous in black magic, she wanted to teach a lesson to Sakkubai,  they tied her on the pole and tortured her.  In this way, the family members found immense joy in making her life miserable.
