From the very ancient time the common faiths and beliefs have made an immense contribution towards the life of the Indians. Beliefs are firmly held opinion. In the 惭腻濒补迟墨尘腻诲丑补惫补, 叠丑补惫补产丑奴迟颈 has depicted different kinds of popular beliefs and their practices of his time.

In the 惭腻濒补迟墨尘腻诲丑补惫补, there was a belief among the people that if girls go to the temple of 艢补峁卥补谤补, on the 14^th day of the dark half of the month and offer flowers with their own hands to the God, then they can achieve good fortune. In the 3^rd act it was found that 惭腻濒补迟墨 went to the temple of 艢补峁卥补谤补 with flowers to worship God for good fortune^[1] where Madayantik膩 also accompanied her.^[2]

Similarly, there was another belief that during marriage, the bride was to go to the temple before the coming of bridegroom鈥檚 party in order to avert the obstacle from auspicious marriage ceremony. In the 6^th act it was found that 惭腻濒补迟墨 went to the temple of city deity in order that the auspicious ceremony would pass off without any obstacle.^[3] At the time of 叠丑补惫补产丑奴迟颈, people also believed on divine fate as they had regarded that divine fate dispensed welfare as well as evil for creatures. It was known from the speech of 惭腻诲丑补惫补 that his heart became attracted to 惭腻濒补迟墨 without having regard to the cause. He regarded that he should be subjected to the great calamity. As it is the almighty goddess Destiny that dispenses good or evil to creatures.^[4] Thus, this description indicates the people鈥檚 belief in the workings of destiny.

The People of 8^th century A.D. used to believe on blessings of elders so that they would get their expected things in their next life. In the 10^th act when 惭腻濒补迟墨 was taken by 碍补辫腻濒补办耻峁囜笉补濒腻 to impose upon her an agonising death then Lava峁単ik膩 had saught blessings from 碍腻尘补苍诲补办墨 by which she would see her dear friend 惭腻濒补迟墨 at any rate in her next life. Simultaneously, When Lava峁単ik膩 wanted to meet her friend in her next life then 碍腻尘补苍诲补办墨 said to Lava峁単ik膩 that there would be no union after death owing to the diversity of actions.^[5] Thus, during 叠丑补惫补产丑奴迟颈鈥檚 time People believed that the merit and demerit of life depended on the activities of previous life.They had believed on rebirth.

Again there was a great belief during 8^th century A.D. on the power of certain signs which had effect in the future time. In the 1^st act 碍腻尘补苍诲补办墨 said that her left eye was throbbing and it indicated a pleasurable issue for her.^[6] Throbbing of the left eye in case of a female was considered as auspicious sign whereas in the case of males the throbbing of the right eye was a good sign.

Thus, many popular beliefs such as worship of deity for the sake of good fortune during marriage ceremony, belief on rebirth, belief on blessings and belief on signs etc. formed a substantial role in the minds of the mass during 8^th century A.D.
