187 Absolute, said :
“Oh king ! Every person has to undergo the results of his actions done in the past life. He can obtain happiness by overcoming his difficulties also as a result of his actions.
Both Mahabal and Malaya have suffered from the fruits of their past actions. I shall first explain to you the event of the crocodile. That crocodile did not eat away Malaya but carried her on its back: the sea-shore. There is a reason behind this happening
‘Vegmati, the maid-servant of Chamakmala, was the fosterrmother of Malaya.. After their marriage Mahabal and Malaya were once sitting near that foster mother Vegmati. They said to Vegmati : that they were going for worshipping god. After saying so, they went to an old temple in a forest. They wanted to free a thief who was sitting there.
