Now Mahabal signalled to the god. The god turned the neck of the king and made it backwards. The face of the king went on the side of his back. The king began to struggle his hands and feet on on account of pain and as a result of his diformed oppearnce, His appearance became harrible. There was a great commation in the palace. All the queens fell down at the feat of Mahabal and began to lament : They entreated mahabal as follows :
“Brother ! Restore our husband to his original form any how. He has done very serious injustice to you. However, look at us and our tears. Please forgive all his unpardonable offences."
Mahabal said :
“I had explained to him everything and warned him from the beginning. But he did not care for what I said. Now it is impossible to do anything."
