I eat the King or his
“Should minister ?”
On hearing this voice coming from the basket, Mandabudhdhi became very angry. He kicked the basket. A flame came out from the basket. The minister came within the sweep of the flames. He fell down flat on the ground, The king did not still come to his senses. He still continued to remain obsticate about seeing his own back.
Mahabal said :
"I am competent to do this work also. But you will have to repent afterwards. Think Proherly. I shall be Powerless to do anything afterwards."
The king said :
“First finish the task entrusted to you. As regards the result, the responsibility is mine."
