When the night was over, Dhanashree and her lover got up. They tried to lift the cot. Now the peg of the base was still in the foot of Jindas. So blood came out profusely and he died. Now Dhanashree recognised her husband. She terribly afraid. At that time the bull 'Suryasandh' came there. She applied blood to its horns and began to shout that the bull had killed Jindas. People beat the bull with sticks. The bull ran to the villageguard and began to nod its head to and fro, as, it telling that he had not done the dirty work. Some wise persons interpreted like this. But the mad public would not believe. Some of them suggested a test. Accordingly, an iorn ball heated till it was fully red was placed on the head of the bull. The ball got cold. So people now realised that the bull was quite innocent. Then they garlanded the bull and all that! Again, Suiyasandh became favourite of all and began to wander in the city as before
