In the Padma Purana, it is said that the one with bitten lips, holding a bow, whose body was covered with armor, who desired to burn the enemy's place with the fire-weapon, who was riding on the front of the chariot, who was swift and had a terrifying form, was seen in the sky by a celestial being who exclaimed: "O Ratnamalin! What have you begun? Abandon your anger and remember, I will tell you your past story."

"In the land of Bharata, there was a city called Gandhari, ruled by a king named Bhuti. Upamanyu was his priest. Both the king and the priest were meat-eaters and engaged in harmful deeds."

"Once, hearing the discourse of the sage Kamalgarbha, King Bhuti took a vow, saying, 'I will never again engage in such sinful acts.' "

"Due to the effect of this vow, he accumulated so much merit that it could have secured him five palya of lifespan in heaven. However, due to the advice of Upamanyu, his priest, all this merit was lost, as if it had turned to ashes. He abandoned that virtuous state. At that time, enemies attacked and killed him along with his priest."

"The priest's soul was reborn as an elephant, which was wounded in battle. He obtained the five prostrations mantra, which was rare for others to obtain. In the same Gandhari, a son named Arisudan was born to the wise son of King Bhuti, to a woman named Yojanagandha."

"Seeing the sage Kamalgarbha, Arisudan remembered his past life. He became detached and took initiation. After death, he became a celestial being in the eleventh heaven called Shatara. Thus, I am the soul of that priest, and you are the soul of King Bhuti, who was reborn as a deer in the forest called Mandaranya. There, he was burned in a fire and became an Akamanirjara. As a result, he became a low-born man named Klij. In that existence, you performed terrible deeds, committed grave sins, and as a result, you went to the hell called Sharkaraprabha."

"After that, I went there and awakened you with the power of affection. As a result, you were born as this Rakhamali, the king of birds."
