The queen had just given birth to a son. She became nervous the moment she saw the face of the new born. She called her maid
The maid followed the queen's instructions. She left the child on a garbage heap at the back of the palace. As she turned to leave, King Shrenik arrived there from his morning walk. He saw a woman furtively going toward the palace. He shouted
