________________ King Sugriv was ruling over nearby city Chakrapur. He had two queens named Yashaswati and Bhadrā. Queen Yashaswati had one son; Sumitra and her co-wife Bhadra had one son Padma. Prince Sumitra was virtuoso and hence, appropriate for lordship. It was difficult for Bhadra to accept this truth. For killing Sumitra, the step mother had experimented intense poison on him. King Sugriv had tried a lot to annihilate the poison but he failed. Whole city was grief. At the same time Vidyadhar Chitragati (soul of Dhankumar) was passing by. He known the situation of Prince Sumitra and immediately he came over there to wipe out the poison of Sumitra. With own power compassionate Chitragati made Sumitra fine. They both became profound friends. Sumitra's sister was married with King of Kaling. Once lovesick Kamal, who was son of King Anangsingh and was brother of Ratnavati, kidnapped her. On receiving this news Sumitra and his friend Chitragati both began battle against King Anangsingh and his son Kamal. During the war Chitragati snatched away precious divine sword of King Anangsingh. Sumitra and Chitragati succeeded. Looking at this illusionary world Sumitra became renunciatory and pursued initiation. After some time he died and reborn as deity in the heaven.
