एक बार किसी नौकर ने नहीं देखा और विधि के विधान से प्रेरित होकर कबूतर कबूतरी का वह जोड़ा घूमता हुआ, उद्यानवाले नगर के सीमान्त ग्राम में चला गया। जबतक वह अपनी गर्दन झुकाकर चोंच से कण जब पशुओं और पक्षियों में प्रेम होता है तो मनुष्य का मन क्या विरह से विदीर्ण नहीं होता? फिर बहीं निकालता है और बाड़ के समीप चरता है, तभी वह दुष्ट, उन्मत्त ( सरदंदुर और सेठ) के आमिष का भोजन जीवदयाफल से सुन्दर पुष्कलावती देश में विजयार्ध पर्वत की दक्षिण श्रेणी में मोक्ष की नसैनी उशीरवती करनेवाले, नवमधुबिन्दु के समान पिंगल आँखांवाले, अशुभ तीखे और कुटिल नखों के शरीरवाले बिलाव नगरी में आदित्यगति नाम का विद्याधर राजा निवास करता था। तेज में वह मानो प्रत्यक्ष कामदेव था। उसकी के रूप में उत्पन्न हो गया। बाड़ के विवर से शीघ्र निकलकर उसने कबूतर को कण्ठ में पकड़ लिया। कबूतरी पत्नी शशिप्रभा से रतिवेग (कबूतर) हिरण्यवर्मा नामक कामदेव के समान सुन्दर पुत्र हुआ। उस पर्वत में सब ओर से घूमकर उस पर झपटती है, अपने पति के पराभव पर स्त्री भी कुपित हो उठती है। पूर्वजन्म गौरी देश और भोगपुर नगर से प्रसिद्ध उत्तर श्रेणी में वायुरथ नाम का विद्याधर आरूढ़ था, जो स्वयंप्रभा नामक के वैर के कारण दाँतों से भयंकर उस बिलाव ने कसमसाते हुए उस कबूतर को खा लिया। विद्याधरी का पति था। वहाँ पर वह रतिषेणा नाम की पक्षिणी मरकर उन दोनों से इस प्रकार जन्मी मानो __ घत्ता-पति के मर जाने पर दुःख से विदारित कबूतरी ने विधि को बलवान् कहा और अपने को तृणवत् यक्षिणी हो। वह कन्या समझती हुई उसने साँप के मुँह में डाल दिया॥४॥

In the city of Adityagati, ruled by the Vidhyadhar king, lived a cat named Saradhar, with sharp, crooked claws and eyes like the setting sun. He was a cruel and wicked creature, driven by his insatiable hunger.

One day, a pair of doves, drawn by fate, wandered into the city limits. The male dove, Hiranyavarma, was as beautiful as the god of love, while his mate, Shashiprabha, was a vision of grace. They were lost in their love, oblivious to the danger lurking nearby.

Saradhar, the cat, saw them and his eyes gleamed with malice. He pounced on the dove, seizing it in his jaws. The dove struggled in vain, its cries echoing through the city. Shashiprabha, witnessing her mate's capture, was filled with rage and despair.

She flew to the top of a nearby wall, her heart heavy with grief. She watched as Saradhar devoured her beloved, his sharp teeth tearing through the dove's flesh.

Shashiprabha, consumed by her sorrow, cursed the cat and vowed revenge. She flew away, her wings heavy with grief, and sought solace in the wilderness.

Meanwhile, in the city of Adityagati, a Vidhyadhar named Vayurath, who had been born in the Gauri country and the city of Bhogapur, was known for his strength and prowess. He was the husband of a beautiful Vidhyadhari named Swayamprabha.

Vayurath, hearing of the dove's fate, was filled with anger. He vowed to avenge the dove's death and punish the wicked cat. He mounted his chariot and set off for Adityagati, his heart burning with righteous fury.

As he approached the city, he saw Shashiprabha, the dove's mate, perched on a tree. She was mourning her loss, her eyes filled with tears. Vayurath, seeing her grief, was moved with compassion. He landed his chariot and approached her.

Shashiprabha, seeing Vayurath, told him of her husband's death and the cat's cruelty. Vayurath, hearing her story, was filled with rage. He vowed to avenge the dove's death and punish the cat.

He then flew to the city of Adityagati and confronted Saradhar. A fierce battle ensued, the two warriors clashing with their weapons. Vayurath, fueled by his righteous anger, fought with great strength and skill.

In the end, Vayurath defeated Saradhar, killing the wicked cat. He then returned to Shashiprabha and offered her his condolences. He told her that he would avenge her husband's death and ensure that justice was served.

Shashiprabha, grateful for Vayurath's help, accepted his offer. She then flew back to her home, her heart filled with hope and gratitude.

Vayurath, having avenged the dove's death, returned to his city, his heart filled with satisfaction. He had done what was right and ensured that justice had been served.
