MAHABAL MALAYASUNDARI
In the morning he called his guards and ordered them to exile the queen. The guards blackened the queens face and left her beyond the state limits.. !
On coming out, the king's anger bursted on Kanakamala
You never stop acting mean. Now you will bear the fruits of your
evil deed.
All this has happened due to Malaya. I will not
spare her.

Burning with anger, the king returned to his chamber.
After a few days Mahabal and the minister returned to their capital. One night suddenly the Lakshmipunj necklace disappeared from Mahabal's room.
When Mahabal came out of the palace he saw the thief running away with the necklace. Chasing him, Mahabal arrived in a dense forest.
Shrees Stop ! You rascal!
Oh! It was lying here just now. Who has lifted it. Some thief must have
entered.
Oh ! The prince is chasing me. If I throw the necklace my life will be saved.
The thief threw away the necklace and ran away
into the jangle. Mahabal took it and climbed a MI tree to send the night.
