Rishidatta Maids went into the palace to call Rishidatta. They shrieked when they saw the terrifying scene. The king also came and saw Rishidatta lying in the bed fast asleep. There was blood on her face, nails, hands, and chest. Scattered all around were lumps of flesh.
Oh ! No! My own daughter-in-law is a
cannibal !
Sulasa withdrew her spell and Rishidatta came awake wide-eyed. The king gave an order
Arrest this man-eater, take her to the cremation ground and burn
her alive.
But the king did not listen to her. The guards took her to the cremation ground. She thought
It is the fruition of the sins of my past birth. Why blame anyone?

Sire! I don't know how all this has happened? I am innocent. This appears to be a
conspiracy hatched by some
Kapalik.
