All seven brothers lost their father's wealth in gambling and prostitution. When they had nothing left, they all went to Ujjayini city to steal. ||1.1|| They left their youngest brother in the Mahakal forest for his protection and the remaining six brothers entered the city at night without any fear. ||102|| At that time, the king of Ujjayini was Vrishabhadhwaja. His wife's name was Kamala. King Vrishabhadhwaja had a valiant warrior named Dridhamusti. His wife's name was Vaprshri. They had a son named Vajramusti. When he reached the age of puberty and was afflicted by lust, he requested King Vimala Chandra to give him his daughter, Manghi, born to Queen Vimala. ||103-104|| Manghi was very dear to Vajramusti. She was always with him like a Veena and did not serve her mother-in-law, meaning she never served her. Therefore, her mother-in-law was constantly filled with malice and was always plotting her destruction. One day, she was scheming to kill her when the time for the spring festival arrived. Her son, Vajramusti, went to the pleasure garden with the king and told Manghi, "Oh Manghi! You should follow me soon." ||105-107|| However, the mother-in-law did not allow Manghi to go to the spring festival. This wicked woman had already summoned a poisonous snake from a pot. Seeing the opportunity, she told Manghi, "Don't be sad that you couldn't go to the spring festival. I have already kept a beautiful garland for you. Go and take it out of the pot and wear it." The innocent Manghi, lured by the garland, put her hand into the pot and was bitten by the venomous snake. ||108|| Manghi immediately fainted from the venom. Her mother-in-law had her carried away by her servants to the Mahakal cremation ground, which was terrifying even to Yama, the god of death. ||109|| When Vajramusti returned home at night and learned of the incident, he went to the Mahakal cremation ground in search of his beloved Manghi with great affection. ||110|| At that time, he had a shining sword in his hand. With its power, he entered the cremation ground without fear. As he walked, he saw Vardharma Muni sitting in the cremation ground in the posture of a night-long statue. ||111||
