EMPEROR VIKRAMADITYA
Vetaal wrote. Vikram saw it and said
Friend ! Two zeros with one doesn't
look nice. Either make it 99 or 101.
Write and show me.
Vetaal laughed loud
Ha! Ha! O king ! That is impossible. What to say of me when even Indra" does not have the power
to alter the life-span even by one second.
Is it so ? Then how did you kill so many
kings ?
I did not kill anyone.
The fact is that at my loud whoop they died of fear on
their own.
The Avadhoot and Vetaal came to the garden chatting.
It does not matter. We two friends combined become like fifty two
braves. Let's leave it at that.
During the third quarter of the night Vetaal left and the Avadhoot returned to his bed.
# The king of gods.
